How do I override the base price against Custom option Pricing? - magento

Hi this was a question from magento forum on their site.. However I am looking for the same thing for a while, could any answer this ?
*I need the exact area in which Magento adds Base price and Custom option price *
I have been looking across these forums so many apologies if this is a
duplicate, but I am having a lot of trouble with the custom option
pricing on front-end not being absolute, but adding itself onto the
base price of the product.
I have been looking at a few modules, which I am happy to purchase, if
easy to implement, but there are quite a few that are going around.
Attached are some images if anyone has a solution.
The base price on the product (is a product with many different custom
options, could be size options also) is £7.32, which is fine as the
page states ‘From £7.32’
However, there are a few options selectable, which rather than show
(+) and ultimately add to the base price, should show the actual price
and not onto of the base price.
So Rhynogrip 70 x 198 price is actually £48.96, however when selected
it adds this to the £7.32, rather than replace it. The attached all
show this.
If anyone could help that would be great!
Thanks in advance.

I recommend you set the price of Rhinogrip 70x198 to 48.96 - 7.32 because that is what MAgento expects.

Magento Extension to Filter Category Products By Vehicle Year / Make / Model

I've seen quite a lot of extensions that do Year/Make/Model search of products, that's not what i am after.
What i want is to let a customer select his vehicle YMM (year make model) and once he did, i want all the products shown to only fit that vehicle in any category he navigates to. So say we have 2 categories - suspension and brakes; once the vehicle type is chosen, only parts fitting that vehicle will be shown under suspension and under brakes.
I also want to be able to define universal products which will be shown regardless of vehicle type chosen.
So far couldn't find such an extension.
Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated.
I am open to implementing something myself if needed.
Checkout this extension : http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/parts-finder.html
I have gone through this module and with little modification,it serves both your purpose.
1) It has filters for individual categories as well. Lets say if you want that once filtered, the same products should be shown in all the categories, you can customize that little part on your own.
2) It has global import section,which will display the products regardless of the filters chosen.
I have seen this Year Make Model magento extension in many sites - http://mage-extensions-themes.com/magento-extensions/top-magento-extensions-for-auto-parts-store/year-make-model-professional.html
It seems to have high popularity in Magento Connect. You may want to try that.

Confused about how to add a product with different variables in Magento

I want to sell a product with 8 colors and two sizes.
Making a configurable product means making 16 simple products!
When I need to update the prices, I have to update the price of 16 products!!
Using the bundle product and adding the size and colors (for the customer to choose) has the limitation of quantity (I need to know how many products with the specific color is left).
Is there any other way to handle that?
For this i think creating a custom option for the product would be the best idea. It is easier to create and very helful in these type of situation. Think about that. If you have same options for other product than there is an extension called Custom Option replicator which will help you to replicate the custom options.
Hope this will help.

Using one stock for multiple items in Magento

Ok so what I want is to have multiple simple products draw from the same stock.
Scenario
I have a sinle nail file (Stock:500)
I have a box of nail files (50/box)
I want it so that if someone buys a box then it deducts from the 500 stock of the singles. Essentially what we do is if someone buys a box, then we ship them 50 of the single files in a box.
Any easy way to do this?
This isn't a native function of Magento, so there a few approaches you can take to emulate it:
Use an external stock management package to keep track of stock and modify Magento to use that. This will require more backend modification.
Attempt to fool Magento by using product bundles in clever ways. This will require more frontend modification
Develop or find a Bill of Materials plugin for Magento. I didn't see anything after a short search, so you may have to build it. Have that module check the constituent materials for a product before allowing it to be added to the cart.
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Joe
Consider:
Create a template for the products that you wish to order this way. This template need only be the files you need to modify, by default it will find the missing files from your default theme;
In the template you can place some PHP to write out some extra javascript, of the prototype variety;
This frontend code hides the real quantity box, with prototype 'hide' for the relevant css id to make it a hidden form field;
The code shows its own quantity box, also an extra field for how many of the fifty packs are required;
An onchange event on these boxes gets the values of the boxes, does the required multiplication and addition, then updates the hidden 'real' quantity box with (boxes*50)+singles;
On submit the customer sees in the cart the total quantity of the product ordered - this will be total units, not broken down 'per box'. If this is a problem, you can put some words to explain that or modify your main template to handle this and present to the customer the boxes+singles breakdown;
Set your products to use the 'new theme' that has your template update code.
Test, test, test!
As mentioned by Joseph this cannot be done out of the box. The above workaround is only partial, however, so long as you make it clear to customers that they are buying 500 units instead of 500 boxes then you should have a reasonable solution.

Magento - Show same item with different colors underneath the item

i’m new to magento and was wondering if someone can help me.
i have a product that comes in multiple colors, but if i set it up as a configurable product it just gives the user the option of choosing a different color (but doesn’t show an image to him/her)
what i would like to do is have the other colors appear underneath just like up sells would (the same design)
if anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate it
Use the Simple Configurable Products extension by Organic Internet, as available for free on Magento Connect and your problem should be solved.
One way to accomplish this is to store images for each color of the project. With JS, you could auto-select color options on the page, and still make use of a configurable product for this purpose. You'll need to do significant template alteration to make this work.
Another approach is to use simple products (which you've already created in this case), and list them directly in the catalog. With Magento's cross-sell functionality, you can tag the products to each other and provide links between product pages for each color. Obviously, this involves more navigation for the user, but does allow you to manage each product independently.
Both of these methods will retain normal product relationships and track inventory for each color of a product, so they are preferable to solutions that involve hacking the framework.
Hope that helps!

Multi-part clothing store in Magento

EDIT: This has been resolved thanks to: http://www.brimllc.com/2010/12/magento-grouped-products-containing-associated-configurable-products/
The guy who runs this blog was very, very helpful. We can now add configurable products to a grouped product. Problem solved.
I'm trying to do something very simple, but can't figure out how to execute.
We've got a Magento store that sells lingerie. Tops and bottoms that each have their own size.
So a customer could order a top in small and a bottom in medium.
On the front end, I need to customer to see:
Product name
Top: S, M, L (dropdown)
Bottom: S, M, L (dropdown)
Just can't figure out how to do this in the Magento admin. Each product is entered as a simple product with the attribute "size" defined: "Small" for example.
But, when I create a configurable product and select the attributes "sizes_tops" & "sizes_bottoms" it only allows me to select products that have both defined, so obviously that won't work.
How on earth do I do this simply in Magento?
We could also have a situation where there are two types of bottoms to choose from, like full and g-string.
If there wasn't the restriction on adding simple products to a configurable product with only one of the attributes defined I'd be all set (I think anyway).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I have seen this post: How to Have a Bundled Configurable Product in Magento?
classyllama.com/configurable-bundle-module - "Note: At this point, we are selling this bundle as-is. ie, we are not providing implementation support for this module. If you purchase the module and it doesn't work for your needs, we can deactivate your license and refund your money." - So it seems there is no support for the product, not very promising.
mag-manager - Site does not load
tinybrick- Does not fit the requirements
As you intimated in your post, this is not something that is possible with a vanilla installation of Magento. Having (attempted) to implement this feature repeatedly in the past, I can also say that it is highly complex and difficult to accomplish.
Hopefully, one of those modules will work well for you. Ask to see a live customer site with the module installed to get an idea of whether it will work. If not, you will be in for a significant implementation effort.
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Joe
I guess you just have to define your tops and bottoms make them configurable separately and then make grouped items over tops and bottoms
We have turned our blog post into an easy to install module called Grouped Options. Simple products with required custom options and configurable products can now be associated with grouped products in Magento.
I know this post is old, but for anyone that is coming across this post now, Classy Llama Studios has released a new version of the Configurable Bundle extension and it is supported. You can find it here: Configurable Bundle Module on Classy Llama's Store
