Options' prices change to 0.00

[kozwurf]

The product shows the correct 'price from' price but when you change any of the options the price goes to 0.00.

I read the other post about this issue and tried to clear the cache
(System > Cache Management > Layered Navigation Indexes > Refresh now)

But the issue remains. Any ideas?

Magento ver. 1.3.2.4

Hiya,

Which version of SCP are you using? (0.7 upwards don't support Magento 1.3)
Also, are there any js errors thrown? This was usually caused by a js problem, rather than a backend one.

Hi there,

I initiaty installed version 0.7 but then after a little digging around found someone else had the same problem on Mag 1.3, they solved their issue by using SCP 0.6. I have tried using 0.6 which seems to install fine but the same symptoms persist.

I have tried using the page in FireBug but can't see any JS errors (although I'm a bit of a Mage 'noob' so may have missed them)

Got a link? I'll take a look. (PM/email me if you prefer)

Sure, one example is:

The SCP javascript product_extension.js isn't being included in the page. SCP 0.6 needs a bit of extra setup when custom themes are used: See installation section here https://github.com/organicinternet/magento-configurable-simple/blob/34bda60fe4f0ab75d28135748528c08d2e134834/README.markdown
If that doesn't work for you, you need to manually merge scp's theme changes into your theme. (SCP 0.7 doesn't need any of this messing around)

Thanks a lot for that I have the basic thing working now. I assume the features to allow the content to be changed (descriptions etc) when a different option is selected is for 0.7 onwards?

I also assume there are no real good reasons to stick with Magento v1.3xx?

Yeah, afraid so.

Yeah, apart from in general it just getting to be too much work to support/test against several versions, there are a few quite complicated behind-the-scenes changes which makes SCP 0.7 a ton faster, but they need the Magento 1.4 indexer framework. (0.6 and earlier can be slow when there are many associated products per configurable product, 0.7 is pretty much no slower than standard Magento)

Having said that, much of the front-end changes (updating descriptions etc) aren't 1.4 specific, so you'd probably have a reasonable amount of luck back porting them if you wanted to. It might take a little while to do though, as I've not written 0.7 code with any thought about whether it would work with 0.6 and earlier.

Well so be it, your extension alone is worth me upgrading my Magento.

Ok going slightly off topic here:
I'm sure there's plenty of documentation out there regarding upgrading Magento, but in general is it a simple enough process, anything crucial to note?

Thanks for your help on this and for creating an excellent extension, really does fill in a massive hole that Magento was released with.

It's been a while since I've done it so can't remember specifics - I do remember having some trouble getting it to work (but no data loss etc), but by now any problems should be well covered on the Magento forums.
