smenkhare Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 How can I get the configurable options to display the pricing when using the ajax form? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberhost Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 The pricing only displays in the Order Summary box when the user selects an extra-cost item in the main form. Cheers, Rick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smenkhare Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 so there's no way for a customer to know how much an option will cost until he adds it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberhost Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 so there's no way for a customer to know how much an option will cost until he adds it? Correct. If you are going to use the AJAX form exclusively then you could put prices with the configurable options descriptions as a workaround. Personally I don't like that solution because then the price will show up in the order summary both in the description and the coded portion, not to mention that you would need to adjust pricing in two places. OTOH, I think it's fine the way Matt has it programmed because customers will click through the options to discover the prices so it adds a bit more interest and interactivity. The can play with the options and watch the total automatically change in the summary, then remove what they don't want. It's kinda fun actually. What's your opinion?

smenkhare Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 personally as a consumer I would want to see how much each item cost. when ordering i look for ease of use over fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisGooding Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I agree with smenkhare, I would always want to see a price before selecting it. Additionally, from a usability point of view, basically what you are asking is your users to make a large amount of useless clicks, when they could acomplish what they wanted in 2 maybe 3 selections if the price was there. I certainly wouldn't want our users to have to do that. I'll see if I can come up with a way to add them in. One possible solution is to add the price to the description as you say, but then have some php code that strips the price out of the description when adding it to the invoice, which is probbably the easiest method. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smenkhare Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 just letting you know, i've asked matt to have a look at this. I'm pretty sure ubersmith does this so i should be possible for whmcs to implement it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy059 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 There should be a way where it shows the Upgrade pricing per configurable option, and the Downgrade pricing per configurable option. Add $XX, or Subtract $XX for each configurable option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
