Pricing on single product per page

[jay cee]

Hi
I added the Single Product Per Page code to my website as Advance Users Guide, But when a returning customer is logged in it only shows the retail prices on the section page Not the Customer Group price

but, if you click though to the Product page the correct price shown?

Any ideas?

You will need the same code (for the price) on the section link layout as you do on your product layout i suspect. Can you see what is different between them at the moment?

I have double checked both templates and they both use the same price layout 'PriceListRetail'

I don't think that could be true Jason, if it was, i'm not sure how the trade prices could ever show on the product layout. There will be other code just below where you are looking that triggers if someone logs into the store. That's what needs to be on the section layout also.

Sorry I can't see for looking?
I have attached the layout files

Hi
I have setup a test site which has been loaded up with the default site,

I then add the "Single Product Per Page" code to the section and created a extra customer group with a customer assigned to it
Username 30521
password 159810
Site www.farmerschoicefreerange.co.uk

When you login the section price still only shows the retail price not the customers price?

I also tried just add the price to the section as so
<actinic:block type="ProductList" >
<actinic:block type="PriceList" >
<actinic:variable name="PriceLayout" />
</actinic:block>
</actinic:block>

and this also display the incorrect price?

does anybody have any ideas?

<actinic:variable name="PriceLayout" /> will not bring in the different prices for you, that will just bring in the straightforward non logged in prices. If you compare to the price area on a product layout, you will see a drastic difference. To get sections doing the same as product layouts do, the same code is going to be needed. There's a good few lines of code for this area, each jumps into action under certain circumstances. That is what you need to grasp and have a play with and see if you can get to show on the section layout.

TIP: The whole of the price area will have a html tag around it, so look for the opening tag and the closing tag and you then know all in between is what fires the price.

Hi
I have tried placing the whole pricing code in the section
<b>
<Actinic:PRICES PROD_REF="<actinic:variable Name="ProductID" />" RETAIL_PRICE_PROMPT="<Actinic:Variable Name="ProductPriceDescription"/>">
<actinic:variable name="PriceListRetail" />
</Actinic:PRICES>
</b>

But no price displays and there is a error
"Product_ID" will not work in this layout?

Am I still missing code? or do I need to do something else?

thank you for your help so far

I can't really guide you directly without doing it myself and trying, i'm not even 100% sure you can do it. All i'm trying to get you to ensure is that you are using the same code as the product layout as a starting point because this is a pretty complex area of actinic with the account system and it will not work without that.

The OnlinePriceLayout selector will play a part (i think). I'd be looking to add that both in your block for the pricing and outside of that and see what happens from there.

The code you have for the price is less than i have, but as the error message has mentioned, that idea might not work anyway. Try with the online price layout selector and see where that gets you to, this controls the trade prices on screen.

Thank you leehack for your continued help

I have double check the product layout and it is the same, I also added the OnlinePriceLayout selector in my block for the pricing and outside see link.

Note sure where else to go with this has nobody come up against it before?

Yes, there have been two other threads started in the last month but neither of them received any answer at all.

There's my question (the link is no longer live) and

This one which is the same problem in different words.

So now we're all waiting to see if YOU solve it for us!!!

[leehack]

Is that inside or outside of the block? It'd be good to see it on both.

[jay cee]

I have upload the code both inside and outside of the block but, it doesn't seem to make any difference?

So now we're all waiting to see if YOU solve it for us!!!

Hopefully if we all get our heads together we can solve this.

I'd be surprised if it can't be done, what's needed is a designer who has had to do it joining in. I've had to do many things with prices on section layouts, but i can't for the life of me recall ever having to do this. Switch to products instead of sections is probably the easiest .
