Bug: ProductPriceRaw doesn't update in Duplicates.

[NormanRouxel]

Problem (in 10.0.2): If you create a Duplicate of a product and later change the price of the original, the ProductPriceRaw variable does not change.

Demo:

Use standard site. Amend layout "Standard Layout using CSS" to add the line:

<br/>Raw: <actinic:variable name="ProductPriceRaw" /><br/>

Now create a new section "Duplicate Cameras".

Go to the Cameras Section, select both products and choose "Copy".

Right-click the Duplicate Cameras section and choose "Paste As Duplicate".

Look at both sections and you'll see matching product prices and the Raw: £n.nn display.

Now go to the original Cameras section and change one of the product prices.

Switch to the Duplicate Cameras section and you'll now see the old price displaying under Raw: £n.nn.

UPDATE: Bug is also in 9.0.5 but isn't in 8.5.3.

Hi Duncan,

I've never used duplicates but if you change something in the original do you not have to 'update duplicates'?

Mike

[NormanRouxel]

Mike,

Yes. There's a Reset Duplicates button and this will fix the ProductPriceRaw variable.

But as this variable can never be different from the basic product price, it should really be updated automatically.

Problem isn't in V8.5.3 but is in 9.0.5 and V10. So some consistency would be best.

Unticking Modifiable in Duplicate in Settings > Duplicate Fields should resolve

Jont,

ProductPriceRaw isn't available in that list. It's an internal variable. Ther product prices are never tweakable in duplicates.

That's why it's important that it automatically changes to follow the main product. You can't see it anywhere but it may be working behind the scenes doing something (like being part of a RRP discount calculation).

[jont]

True - just read the list and it is Price Prompt not just the price.

It is working correctly in v10.0.1

Edit:

Upgraded to v10.0.2 and it's not working

Hi Simon - that's Norman not Duncan

[bentleybloke]

productpriceraw hasn't been updating since v903!

I've been reporting all sorts of things which don't update at duplicates since then...

True you can reset the duplicate, but then everything you may have changed at the duplicate resets too.

AFFS.

Sorry. My brain just throws a wobbly at trying to suggest that Norman's missed something.

Here's my hideously long hack. Say you intend to use:

<actinic:variable name="ProductPriceRaw" />

Instead you have to use:

<actinic:block php="true">
	$prprice = 0;
	<actinic:block type="PriceList" />
		<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ListIndex%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%201" >
			$prprice = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/','','<actinic:variable name="TaxExclusivePrice" encoding="perl" selectable="false" />');
			$prprice = $prprice / pow(10, <actinic:variable name="CurrencyDigits" />);
		</actinic:block>
	</actinic:block>
	echo $prprice;
</actinic:block>

Where do we change the script in Actinic? As I am having my numerous duplicate RRP not amending when I do my price update each week!

were you use productpriceraw change this to the above code

[NormanRouxel]

numerous duplicate RRP not amending

This tweak is for the ProductPriceRaw variable. Not for anything else.
