pricing issues

pricing issues

I have a dynamic drop down list for dog food bags that have 6lbs, 18lbs and 38lbs, each of the pounds have a drifferent price which I have two tables in my DB. I have the dynamic drop down populated with the correct items(the bag weights) but how do I get it so when the user selects a bag weight the correct price is displayed in the cart? It sees as though my filter which is filter product_id = entered value product_id is not passing the correct options to the cart. Can anyone help?

Thanks
Tim

Just to add to that... We set up a recordset that grabbed the three weights based on a specific product category (Chicken, in this case). We bound this recordset to the cart, making the price updateable via a select list. The recordset has the necessary records, but the drop down list for the prices only has a single value instead of the 3 we were expecting. What is it that we're missing regarding binding a recordset to the cart? Seems like it should be straightforward...

the URL:
bnbfood.php

gives a 404 page not found error.


When you add the add to cart button behavior to the page, let eacart create the select list for you.


First create a recordset that returns all 3 bag sizes.

In the Add to Cart button, set it to lookup the item ID from a recordset, chose the recordset that returns all three bag sizes.

On the bindings tab, bind all of the columns to the recordset. Set the ID column to be updateble from a select list.


once eCart has added the select list to the page, select it in design view. I nthe Property inspector, click the dynamic button.

Set it to use the recordset that returns the three bag sizes. Set the Label to the description column, set the value to the ID column.

select list

Jason,

Thanks for the information. When I tried your suggestion, after I select the ID column to be an update able select list and then click on the dynamic button after selecting the list I can't change it because the system won't let me.

The page I gave you was wrong it is bnbfood.php

I'll be working on it so if you hit it and it messes up please try it again.

Thanks,
Tim

working but one question

Thanks I found out what you were talking about. How do I get the price to appear in the drop down list with the bag weights?

Thanks,
Tim

you would have to manually modify the code for the select list to add the price as part of the label:
<option value="<?php echo $row_RecordsetName['ID']?>"><?php echo $row_RecordsetName['Name']?><?php echo $row_RecordsetName['Price']?></option>
