using item attributes and common adjust together

["kenshin" <kenshin@planetanime.com>]

Hello all,

First, I am using mv 3.12beta10 running on linux 2.2 (i think) and perl
5.004_04

I'm trying to use item attributes and common adjust but i'm having a little
bit of a problem.  Here's what i'm trying to do:  I have some items in my
catalog that i need to be able to choose between being framed and unframed.
I set up an item attribute column in my products database called unframed.
the data in the column looks something like this:

    U=Unframed Price $200, F=Framed Price $250*

in the price field i have the following:

    250, ==unframed:pricing

in my pricing.asc file for this particular item i have the following entry

    code    U       F
    dis-music       -50     0

i.e. the unframed price should be -50 less than the framed price (which is
the default price in the price field of the products database).


in my catalog.cfg i have defined a pricing.asc database and set the
following options:
   CommonAdjust    yes (turns on common adjust)
   UseModifier unframed

and
PriceAdjustment is not set (commented out).

On my results page i use the following form to show and have the user select
an item and it's corresponding attribute:
    <form action="[process-target]" method=POST>
     <input type=hidden name=mv_todo action=refresh>
     <input type=hidden name=mv_order_item value="[item-code]">
     <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_separate_items VALUE="1">
     <INPUT type=hidden NAME=mv_order_quantity VALUE="1">
     [item-accessories unframed]
     [order [item-code]]Add to cart[/order]
    </form>

The problem is even when unframed is selected the price in the basket shows
the framed (higher) price.

I don't want to have to create a separate item code for each framed and
unframed item (like in the simple catalog).  It seems reasonable to me that
this should work, but i can't figure out what i am missing or doing wrong.
Any help or ideas would be appriciated.

thanks in advance,
mike kang
