Hello,

I got you guys to create a plug-in so I can charge customers to create listings using PayPal. Attached is the code.

Could you please tell me how to change this so that the amount charged is a flat-fee of £14.99?

Currently the price is calculated as 5% of the Sale price with a maximum amount of £50, but this is a bit too complicated.

The calculation is around lines 40-53 I think.

Thank you,
Greg

Hi Greg,

Not sure SO TEST IT FIRST!, but you may just be able to change the code in lines 35 - 61 (effectively making the $adcost variable always 14.99) to:
function calcAdCost_process($tableName, $isNewRecord, $oldRecord, $id) {
if($tableName == 'listings') {
$listingsTable = $GLOBALS["TABLE_PREFIX"] . "listings";
$accountsTable = $GLOBALS["TABLE_PREFIX"] . "accounts";
$adCost = 0;
if(@$_REQUEST['sale_price']) {

$adCost = "14.99";

}
mysql_query("UPDATE $listingsTable SET ad_cost = '$adCost' WHERE num = '$id'");
}
}




function updatemailchimp($tableName, $isNewRecord, $oldRecord, $id) {

Hope it works for you,

Hi Jerry,

The script doesn't seem to display any price... I think there might be a bug somewhere else with it.

Hopefully the Interactive Tools team will come to the rescue!

Thanks anyway!

Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,

Jerry was very close. What we need to do is remove all calculations, and just hard code in a value.

try this:

function calcAdCost_process($tableName, $isNewRecord, $oldRecord, $id) {
if($tableName == 'listings') {
$listingsTable = $GLOBALS["TABLE_PREFIX"] . "listings";
$accountsTable = $GLOBALS["TABLE_PREFIX"] . "accounts";
$adCost = 14.99;

mysql_query("UPDATE $listingsTable SET ad_cost = '$adCost' WHERE num = '$id'");
}
}

Hope this helps

Hi Jason,

Thanks for trying to help out with this. I have tried to use the code you have provided but it's still not working. I think I might need to edit another file because the calculation is still coming up as 5% of the sale price...

Do you know if there is anywhere else I might need to edit the code?

Thank you,
Greg

Hi Greg,

That seems to be the only place in your code where ad_cost is calculated. Could you post your latest version of your plugin?

Is this value calculated in any other plugins?

Let me know.
