Hi, I created a virtual configurable product and added three variants and 1 multichoice configuration to that(Varaint product id's 2000V1, 2000V2, 2000V3) .I made some changes in product detail page to display varaints in different way . When I am trying add product to the cart it is giving a error "Tried adding the virtual product XXXX(productid : 2000) adding ,not added " .I observerd in the request parameter(I changed form method to "get") the product id that is going to add is 2000 when change that product id to one of the variant product it is working fine and show it in shopping cart list. We can't add a virtual product to shopping cart? When I am selecting configuration it is not showing the product price with configuration. My question is how the fillproductconfigwrapper method identifies the configuration parameter from request I am thankful for any kind of help regards Vamsi |

There was a patch submitted for the following JIRA issue that might
help with displaying the variant price. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-618 On 1/31/07, Vamsi <[hidden email]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > I created a virtual configurable product and added three > variants and 1 multichoice configuration to that(Varaint product id's > 2000V1, 2000V2, 2000V3) .I made some changes in product detail page to > display varaints in different way .

I tested it before by creating a default price for WG-9943-B3 and it was not applied but the virtual price was applied. BTW the virtual had also Competitive and List Prices.

Finally after my apologies I thought a bit about this. Should we not restrict variants currency to the one set in virtual ? Because
even if someone set variants prices to another currency it will not be used. And this can fool an user as I have been. What do you think ?

Do you mean that it should work like I tried to use it or that we should make it work, or ?

Vamsi,
I can confirm what Jacopo is saying here. The variant price may not be shown in the ecommerce screen, but it definitely is used in calculating the costs in your cart.

Jacques,
I usually test such things after disabling all promos and price rules. Simplify the test case.

Jonathon,
Thanks for your tip. As a commiter I have to use OFBiz OOTB with last version to be sure to rely on what is supposed to be tested. BTW, what do you thinkof my last response to David ?

I think David's point about supporting multiple currencies is valid, ie OFBiz should operate that
way. It'll be nice to be able to use different currencies for different variants (eg. some sold in some countries but not in others). However, I strongly suspect that's not exactly how it works now. Let me know if anyone needs me to help in research; my current project doesn't handle more than 1 currency... yet. A sticky issue: which currency/price takes precedence, variant or virtual? I'd say variant prices should override virtual.

Jacques,
> I was asking myself, in a principe of reality, if we should not, for the > moment, restrict variants currencies to their virtual's. Agreed. This will tie up that "loose end". Rather than having "undefined behavior" (for multiple currencies), we should at least let users know that their virtual products' currencies count and the related variants' don't. Or better yet, prevent users from using a different currency for variants. >> A sticky issue: which currency/price takes precedence, variant or virtual? >> I'd say variant prices should override virtual. > > Yes variants should override. But has this a sense ? Because virtuals are > never used as product, they are abstract (in Oriented Object sense). So I > wonder if having a currency different for virtual and variants have a > sense. Having variants with different currencies is another problem... Hmm. In OO sense, it doesn't make sense that virtuals have a price even. However, in user-interface sense, users would want to have a "standard price" set for all variants, for ease of use if for nothing else. Hence, I can see why some users might want to tie currency/price to virtuals. Well, at least we share/discuss what we know so that others can grab our info and enhance OFBiz, though we ourselves have no time to fix this issue. :P Jonathon Jacques Le Roux wrote: > Jonathon, > > From: "Jonathon -- Improov" <[hidden email]> >> I think David's point about supporting multiple currencies is valid, ie OFBiz should operate that >> way.

Finally, I want to make an abstract of what I understand :
Variants herit prices from virtual. Variants may override prices from virtual, hence have different currencies than virtual. But this last functionnality (regarding currency at least) is not working yet. Is that correct ? If yes, I will open a Jira issue for this peculiar case where I will propose to restrict currency in variants to virtual's, for the moment. Of course I understand that in a perfect world we should support different currencies for different variants. But I guess this can wait... Because I'm only reasoning at the businness level for the moment. And I guess at the technological level things may be less clear.
