Product Attributes-removing adding or subtracting- or changing price showing as £0.00

[thewebagency]

I didnt write this but it describes my situation perfectly, Hope somebody can help.

 

"My client has products that are sold in different weights. He wants all weights

to be displayed as a drop down menu. This is fine as the product attributes

caters for this very situation. :)

 

The problem is he does not want a base price that is added to or subtracted.

What he wants is no base price, until an option has been selected. Each option

should state the full price.

 

This would require the price of the product to be set to $0!

 

I cannot remove the price at the top of the product because some product will

require it (they don?t have any attribute options). Setting the price at $0 and

having it visible looks like an error! :cry:

 

One solution would be to remove the price only when the product has an

attribute options and perhaps replacing it with some suitable text. I would

have to do some coding. :!:

 

Another would be to set the price at one of the weight options and add or

subtract from the price. (he does not want this). I believe this is what the

feature is designed for. :?:

 

Can anyone suggest a way to resolve this problem? Or has anyone solved this

problem and can share their solution? :idea:

 

Also does setting the prefix to blank make the price replace the value rather

than adding or subtracting? :?:

 

If there are no other solutions I will try and write some code, which

determines if there are any attributes and if so removes the price. Or even

write some code that only displays the price if there are no attributes, but

before I do so I am sure there will be an easer solution.

 

An help offered will be mush appreciated.

:D"

 

Thanks in advance

The problem is that when the price is zero, it looks confusing to show the price, right? So rather than looking at attributes, why not look at the price? There is a contribution that may be stale that you could try to use: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1826

Thans looks like it will do, so will give it a try.
