Quantity Based Pricing - Changing Default Setting

[wuffingas]

Just a quick question about quantity based pricing. When I enter in the quantity based price, it automatically places next the product

Price: (7 or fewer items) $44.87
Price: (8 or more items) $41.92

Is there any way to change the word 'items' to whatever I want? For instance, some things are sold in 'Pairs' others 'Sets'

Thanks, Guys

The word "items" is hard coded into the price layout. E.g. in layout "Standard Tax Exclusive Price" you'll see lines like:

(<actinic:variable Name="QuantityDescMax"/> or fewer items)

So to fix this create a Variable e.g. "PackName", settable at the Site, Section and Product levels with a default value of "item" and Use Parent set.

And amend the price layout you're using to replace very occurence of item with. E.g:

(<actinic:variable Name="QuantityDescMax"/> item)

Becomes:

(<actinic:variable Name="QuantityDescMax"/> <actinic:variable Name="PackName"/>)

And:

(<actinic:variable Name="QuantityDescMax"/> or fewer items)

Becomes:

(<actinic:variable Name="QuantityDescMax"/> or fewer <actinic:variable Name="PackName"/>s)

Etc.

Then in your special pack products, set PackName to the name of a single unit. Use names where the plural is just an extra "s". Not box(es) but pack(s) for example.

Hi there,

What about changing the layout for customer accounts?

All i can find is

<Actinic:QuantityApplies>
			<Actinic:QuantityDescription />
		</Actinic:QuantityApplies>

in layouts > prices for customer accounts.

But where do I go to ammend the layout?

Thank you in advance!

[vistamaster]

so anyone knows how to ammend

<Actinic:QuantityDescription />

layout for customer accounts?

basically i don't want it to show: 'x or fewer', 'between x and y', but instead it should show '1:', '2+' etc etc.

Ive managed to do it for retail customers however when I login, for some products it showing as I want '1: £37.86', '2+: £37.60', but for some - '(1 item) £37.86'
'2+: £37.60' and for some: '0+: £11.69' SOS

The variable is used in ActinicOrder.pm - referenced in lines 8639 & 40. You may have to roll your sleeves up I think.

thanks Duncan,

i'm afraid only rolling my sleeves up will not help

it's much more serious business for me... i have to book some cgi lessons first, coz I don't understand not even a little bit of it...

however how comes that this have happened? I haven't customised actinicorder.pm file... is this a bug?

another point, why for some products its showing correctly and for some it messes it up?

[vistamaster]

OK, I found out why is it showing '0+: £price', it happens when I enter the same prices for account customers see the image attached...

however I'm still struggling to find out why is it showing '(1 item): £price' for some items in certain sections...

[vistamaster]

Maybe someone from Actinic could help on this topic?

[vistamaster]

I've managed to do it by accidently finding where to change these values.

Ok so if anyone else wish to change the way quantity based prices look for customer accounts, go to:

DESIGN / TEXT, then click on "Go To" / Enter "-1" into "Phase" & "286" into "ID:" (without quotes ) text boxes, that's it!

You can ammend all five lines (ID: 286 + 287 + 288 + 289 + 290) if needed.

Here you can change the way your quantity based prices will look for customer accounts.

good luck
