Price per square meter

Selling tiles need te be displayed in price per piece (carton) and price per square meter (in the carton).
It is possible to add a price per kg. but is it also possible to add add/display a price per sm,square meter, m2?

Hello,
You can sell you products per m2 by creating product per m2, but another solution can be to use the following plugin, and create a "width" and "length" custom ITEM fields which will be used with that plugin. So your that your customers will just have to set a width/length and the price will be automatically calculated.

Can you share a link on how to do this to calculate price? I need it in yards and 1/4 yard increments for fabric. I do not see how the client can insert a numerical value to calculate the price:

Hi,

As mentioned by Mmohamed Thelji to use this plugin, you have to create custom item fields and display them on frontend.
Then once the plugin enabled it will calculate the price based on the values filled by the customer for these fields.

But the customer will be able to set any values, so if you need the calculation in yards and with an increment by 1/4 it will require custom code. If you are not a developer, you can post a request in the commercial jobs section of this forum or contact a third developer.
Here is the developer documentation: www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...r-documentation.html

I have installed the suggested plugin for calculating width x length and enabled it, however I cannot find any options for this on my products page. I am using Hikashop Starter. Do I need to upgrade to get this functionality? Also, is there any documentation on how to use the plugin?

Damn, I've just bought the Essential package thinking all I needed was Product Options... need to upgrade already!

Thank Nicolas

Is there any documentation for this plugin?

Since upgrading to Business the ability to select the fields in the Product details seems to have vanished and is now replaced with this...

Hi,

I have upgraded to both Joomla 3.6.2 and HikaShop Business 2.6.3 and the custom_quantity_width_length plugin no longer works?

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$length in /home/hpshutters/public_html/components/com_hikashop/views/product/tmpl/show_block_custom_item.php on line 14

Is there an update for this plugin or is it some other problem?

Sorry... the plugin still appears to work as far as doing the calculations, but the default values have vanished and the error message appears twice immediately above the width/length custom fields!

Hello,

Your issue doesn't seem to come from the plugin but probably from a view's customization (the "show_block_custom_item" file of the "product" view of your front-end template that you can check via "Hikashop->Display->Views").

OK... I have checked the view's customization, however I don't really know what I'm looking at!!!

Thanks Nicolas, however it hasn't solved the problem, but created more... I changed the line 14 in the show_block_custom_item view from:
$itemData = JRequest::getString('item_data_' . $fieldName, $this->element->$fieldName);
to:
$itemData = JRequest::getString('item_data_' . $fieldName, @$this->element->$fieldName);

It removed all product options and re-positioned the Add to Cart button over the product image

Is there any other suggestions?

Hi Nicolas,

The link to the page I'm trying to troubleshoot is www.hpshutters.com.au/order-online

I currently have line 14 in the the "show_block_custom_item" file of the "product" view set as it was originally:
$itemData = JRequest::getString('item_data_' . $fieldName, $this->element->$fieldName);
I get this result:

Thanks, although I have no idea where to put your suggested CSS code: #hikashop_product_left_part{ width: 100% !important; }

I have resized my images to suit the product page layout, however the error messages still appear! I suspect this is a separate issue to my original query regarding my default values...

As previously stated... the default values for my custom fields are: width: 3500 & length: 2500 however these values aren't being displayed. The length/width plugin is working in as much as it is calculating any values entered, but why aren't the default values being displayed as they were before upgrading?
