Contribution Talk: QPBPP 1242
Buy Gary A Beer?
Buying me a "beer" helps me to keep my contributions updated and keep this blog alive - and you get a link from my homepage to your site. Cheers!
Whenever I use a pre-existing contribution, I'll make a short blog post to let you know how the install went, and how easy the contribution is to install.
Quantity Price Breaks Per Product (aka QPBPP)
http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1242
The task was to install this on a very highly modified shop. This shops admin category page has at least 5 other contributions code changes, some custom coded by me, some added by the client. Hence I could not just "drop in" the files.
I had to merge the files one by one, by hand. Using winmerge makes it rather easy, however I decided to simply follow the install instructions as they are put together quite well…
In use, it works flawlessly. I managed to easily add price breaks to the product.
Overall
Ease of Install: 6/10 (good considering the shop is highly modified)
Ease of Use: 8/10
How it looks: 3/10 (it's ugly in the extreme, I modified a file to change this)
Changes I would like to see
The NEW files added to a folder so that any new files can just be dropped in, without accidentally over-writing existing files.
Extra Info
I have modded the PriceFormatter.php file to output the price breaks in a cleaner fashion. If anyone wants this, please let me know, feel free to "beer" me for quicker service. Burp.
Before (takes the style of the infoBox):
After:
I have been using this mod. It is a very good mod. I expanded it to include an ajax call to update the price on the website if someone updated the quantity. the mod is straight forward to work with.
