Calculate price on length and width ?

Hello,

I would like to start a shop to sell hand-woven carpets. The pricing is simply based on the size of the carpet, irrespective of the design.

This simplifies things considerably, especially with regard to shipping as each square foot has a fixed weight.

The thing is that I want to be able to show the carpet patterns (there are many) as individual products but then allow the customer to select length and width.

The price is then calculated on these inputs.

Can Hikashop do this?

Please advise

Thanks

Hi there,

This is actually not yet possible in Hikashop. We are thinking about making that kind of thing possible with the custom fields but we didn't started the development yet.
If the width and length have a limit, you can create 2 characteristics (one for each) with values from 1 to 10. Then, you can add it to your basic product and customize the prices of the variants.
But this method will be quite long. Last option is to write a custom code or ask for a commercial job on the related forum.

Hi, I have installed the plug in and added the custom fields. What's next? How do I configure HikaShop to calculate my price?
Thanks

Thank you, I have that working now. Is it possible to have the calculated price displayed before adding it to the cart?

Also, my price is per square metre and the width & length are entered in millimetres for accuracy. This results in a price * 1,000,000. I could change the product price to reflect this but that would be messy so I changed the calculation in the plugin to
$product->order_product_total_price_no_vat = $product->order_product_price*($quantity/1000000);
$product->order_product_total_price = (($product->order_product_price+$product->order_product_tax)*($quantity/1000000));
Apologies if this is complete nonsense in code terms, I can see where the change is required but I'm a novice. The change has had no effect. Basically I need to convert the quantity to mm therefore divide by 1,000,000. Please advise. Thank you for your help.

Hi,

To have the calculated price on the product page before adding it to the cart it will require custom code, and AJAX to edit dynamically the product price based on the custom fields. So it require good php and javascript knowledges.

Ok thank you, could you tell me which files display the detailed product page, and the file that is creating JavaScript for that file
plus php files, and their hierarchy that is where they reside, folder hierarchy please. This will enable me to get the changes made. Thank you

As your code is generated by your framework classes, I can find your customized JS code in the product detail page (under script tag) but can't find the classes/files (PHP Script) that are generating this script. Can you please guide me so that I can customize that according to my needs.Thank you
