Hi
I have a site which has started out at v3 or so, and has been gradually upgraded to v6.1.3.
It uses what I am told is an old trick of having two almost identical products, the second hidden, in order to get two "buy" buttons. This is done to allow "buy 1-11 bottles" and "buy 12 or more bottles" with different per-bottle prices for each. Somehow they then generate the two buttons within what appears to be the same product line. I don't understand how this works, but it seems to.
I now have Developer 6.1.4 installed and this no longer seems to work, I am just getting the not-hidden product's "buy 1-11 bottles" button.
I have taken a snapshot back to a Business 6.1.3 installation and it works fine.
I also use a complicated macro to convert a flat file into an import-able heirarchical structure for this site, generating the (almost) duplicate product if there is a price for 12 or more in the flat file, so I cannot easily change the product model to include components etc as a workaround.
Can anyone confirm that 6.1.4 does indeed prevent this method, and if so is there an easy, global solution based on continuing to generate the duplicate product with the "12 or more" price. Or will I have to use a 6.1.3 installation in order to keep the current functionality?
Many thanks, Dan
