price calculation problem, where are the functions?

[navid]

Hi
I have a specifig calculation for price, but I don't know which function is the main one for doing so.

this is my calculation.

Every pair itemscost $200
every single item costs $125

so if customer buys 5 items, total will be 200 +200 + 125
this is the rule and price for all products on my shop, because I have only one kind of product for sale!!

I know how to do the calculation, but i do not know what variable and function I should assign the sum.

Also, because my shop has only ONE product, I can hard code this permanently inside codes. The problem is where and what file and what function is the main price calculation.

also tax option will be disable. so no worry about that.

Can anybody help on this?

Thanks
Nav

So the price is more like

1-125 (odd)
add 1 more-add another 75 (even)
add 1 more-add another 125 (odd)
add 1 more-add another 75 (even)
add 1 more-add another 125 (odd)
add 1 more-add another 75 (even)
etc...

Or better yet Price is:

If Qty = Even
price = Qty x $100

If Qty = Odd
price = Qty x $100 +$25



Should not be too hard to hard code it - Ugly as heck

Try looking at:
http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1242
Quantity Price Breaks Per Product

or
http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1700
XPricesPerProduct

These may be what your looking for - or atlease show you where you need to modify it to work the way you want.

Good Luck!

Hi jpf
Thanks for your reply.
yes, your formula is right, that is the way I want.

I just looked at that contribution site. what is it about? are there other functions and add ons that we can select to add to our shopping cart?

There are different down load, are this different codes people developed independet of each other?

Short answer:

A: Contribution/Modification to exisiting "base code" of OSC

B: Yes. To a point. (Some are for OLDER version or are simular fuction - but diffent process by differnt authors, some are duplicates)

C: Yes.

D: Yes.

Longer answer:

OSCommerce is an open source project and many people find diffent ways to thing (out of nessary or what if it could do this...). Some times it does not suit the way they want or they have special ways of doing thing than OSC does not do (and may not be applicalbe to be used for "ALL" people). They return the favor buy "contributing" BACK to the OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY that gave them the orginal program. After all why reinvent the wheel every time some one wants a diffent color or size or because one of your neibours has one etc.

Yes you can ADD these into your site - if you have a PLAIN version of OSC and add only one -then it should be easy - when you add 2 or more - that conflict with each other (they modify the same file or worse - the same code) then it gets harder.

MS2-MAX has over 20 of these most common MODS already included. The largest change was the BTS mod (Basic Template System) changes the most files (over 62 files radically changed and added almost as many in the catalog side), which makes it a bit harder to add other contributions - BUT NOT IMPOSSABLE!


Good Luck

If you need modification done, we will install ANY module at oscommerce.com's contribution section for $49.95. This includes the linkpoint payment gateway i helped write and currently provide free email and phone support for.

Our standard rates for custom PHP Development are $40.00 per hour. There is nothing we can't do with OSC and OSC MAX
