[ic] Modify Price /w out Changing it..?

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Karen Gold)]

Hi All,

Can someone explain, in more detail, what needs to be changed in the
UI/pages/admin/entry.html page

I can't seem to make it work. After I hit recalc or place-order it goes back
to the database price.

Should there be more than just:
catalog.cfg:
    CommonAdjust    $, ;:sale_price, ;:price, ==:options

AND

../UI/pages/admin/entry.html:
	<INPUT NAME=mv_searchspec>
	</TD>
	<TD BGCOLOR=__UI_C_INTBLOCK__ VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=CENTER>
	<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="mv_order_quantity"  SIZE=3>
	</TD>
	[set mv_UseModifier]mv_price[/set]
	<TD BGCOLOR=__UI_C_INTBLOCK__ VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=RIGHT>&nbsp;
	<input name="[modifier-name mv_price]" size=12>
	</TD>
	<TH BGCOLOR=__UI_C_INTBLOCK__ WIDTH="2">&nbsp;</TH>
	<TD BGCOLOR=__UI_C_INTBLOCK__ VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=RIGHT>&nbsp;


Thx.

You don't need to edit the database....you can set up a screen which
inputs an mv_price modifier for order entry. That will magically become
the price for that order only, as long as your first CommonAdjust
entry is "$".

So, to look at the default from catalog.cfg:

    CommonAdjust    :sale_price, ;:price, ;$, ==:options

Make that:

    CommonAdjust    $, ;:sale_price, ;:price, ==:options

and it will work.

You will need to do

	[set mv_UseModifier]mv_price[/set]

to get it to work, along with a text box

	<input name="[modifier-name mv_price]" size=12>

in the item list.
