Some questions 5.0.0Beta66

[Webguy]

Hello,

We are currently using Phoca Cart 5.0.0 Beta 66 alongside Joomla 5.1.2, and we have encountered a few issues and feature requests that we would appreciate your assistance with:

Attribute Pricing Issue:
When using attributes for a product, we would like to set specific prices for different attribute variations. For example:

100g of meat = €5
150g of meat = €10
Currently, the only available option is "Operator Weight +", which requires us to manually calculate the price difference between €5 and €10. We are wondering if it is possible to introduce an "Operator =" option, allowing us to directly input the total amount for each attribute without manual calculations. https://screenshot.webjongens.nl/eDuZvRJ8

Error When Adding Attributes:
When adding a new attribute, we encounter an error after saving. The error results in the creation of a new attribute with just the title and another with just the price. We then have to delete the erroneously added attribute and manually correct the price on the first one. This issue has been documented in a video for your review: https://screenshot.webjongens.nl/2NuoRlOK

Category-Specific Shipping Prices:
We would like to have the option to set specific shipping prices per product category. For instance:

All meat in the "Beef" category would have a shipping cost of €0.
All meat in the "Pork" category would have a shipping cost of €5.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi,

1) operator = ... this is very problematic because then there will be logical conflicts when more parameters are used (by more parameters you can build the price with + and minus but not with = )

2) error in attributes - thank you for the video, I will do more tests

3) Shipping price for categories - see similar questions in forum. Again, shipping price is based on cart not on products or categories because then it even comes to logical conflicts. When you assign shipping price to category, what happens when two products from two different categories will be added to cart? Which price to select, from category A or category B?

4) https://texelsvlees.texelhosting.nl/webshop/ ... looks great.

Hi,

testing now, 2) it seems like some problem in Joomla, as this problem does not occur in Joomla 5.0.x I will do some more tests.

OK, the 2) is not a problem in latest Joomla versions (seems like core developers fixed it), update to 5.1.4 (or 5.2.0Beta1) and it should be OK.
