Permutation Layout Options

[eabassoc]

Hi

Does anyone know a quick way of enabling "include price", on component details -> layout across the entire site in Actinic Catalog v11? I would rather not have to go through hundreds of components ticking a box.

Before upgrading from v8 to v11 the prices of our component products were being displayed using the standard layout templates:
Component: Component Layout with selectable permutations
Permutation: Permutation Drop Down List
Retail Price: Additional Price in Brackets

This selection no longer shows the price because a "block if" requires the "IsPriceShownForComponents" to be true, and this can only be achieved by ticking a box for each component.

[I could remove the "block if" but then I would have a non-working tick box in the user interface, which is not ideal.]

Essentially what I need to do is either set "IsPriceShownForComponents" to have a global default value of "true" in the user interface, or set it to be "true" in the database.

I cannot find where this can be done globally in the user interface and nor can I find its location in the database.

Does anyone know the global location of the "IsPriceShownForComponents" variable in the user interface or its location in the database?

Thanks
Daniel

You could probably do it with a flat file import - have a look at the help for which fields you can use.

Basically you need a list of all your products (which you can get using the export google feed thingy) Delete all the columns apart from the Product Reference then add the column 'ispriceshownforallcomponents' and set this to true (probably -1)

Save the file as a CSV then import it into Actinic
