Making a secret coded give a producrt a special offer price (tested with 6.1.2)
In the following our secret code is "xyzzy" (without the quotes).
Put the following code into actiniccore.js (at the very bottom):-
var secretcode = 'xyzzy'; // change this to suit your needs.
function formfield(fname){ // look through all forms 'till one containing field "fname"
var df = document.forms; // simplified version - only return object fname
var i = df.length - 1;
for ( var j = 0; j <= i; j++ )
{
var k = df[j].length - 1;
for ( var l = 0; l <= k; l++ )
{
if ( df[j].elements[l].name == (fname) )
{
return df[j].elements[l];
}
}
}
alert('Cannot find field ' + fname); // shouldn't happen...
return false;
}
function secretcodecheck(submitimage, prodref){
secretvalue = formfield('SC_' + prodref).value; // the value from out visible full price product
if ( secretvalue != secretcode ) secretvalue = '';
submitimage.name = prodref + secretvalue; // alter the submit images name to match our invisible product
formfield('Q_' + prodref).name = 'Q_' + prodref + secretvalue; // alter the invisible quantity name to match our displayed product
return true;
}
Save the following code as SecretCode_ProductLine.html

NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT

Go into Actinic and turn off "Auto Generate Product References" in View / Business Settings / Options.
That's all the setup done. Now for each discounted product:-
Now create your usual product at the full price.
Use SecretCode_ProductLine.html as it's template.
Set its product reference to (e.g.) ABC101.
Duplicate that product.
Set the price to be your discounted one.
Use Invisible_ProductLine.html as it's template.
Set its product reference to be the same as the one above but with the secret code added (e.g.) ABC101xyzzy.
The customer will only see the usual full priced product with an additional secret code input field.
If they enter the correct code then the form sumnmission will be altered to select the invisible discounted poroduct.
If the wrong (or no code) is entered then the full priced product is added as usual.
