Can I display the price of a component made up of associated products?

[skinnybloke]

Using v9.0.5

I am trying to create a component comprising of 6 cushions (from an existing product) so that the pack price changes when the existing product price changes.

I cannot see any way to display the price for the pack of 6 cushions on the product page. Anybody know how to do this?

No auto way of adding prices to components (you add manually into the description), only permutations add prices auto. A solution has been provided in the forum though, worth a search, Norman was involved.

You can make a customised Component Layout that displays the associated product price * the component quantity used.

Go to Design / Library / Layouts / Components.
Right-click Standard Component Layout and choose Copy.
Rename that copy to be "Component Displaying Associated Product Price".
Edit that layout and look for:

<Actinic:Variable Name="ComponentDisplayLabel"/>

Immediately after that add:

<actinic:block php="true">
	printf('£%01.2f', <actinic:variable name="AssociatedProduct::ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" /> * <actinic:variable name="ComponentQuantity" selectable="false" />);
</actinic:block>

Now choose this layout for such Components.

Only use it where the Component uses an associated product with no other complications.

Cheers Norman - that works perfectly!!

Wow! That was quick!

I already had the new layout set-up so all I all I had to do was drop that bit of code in.
