Product Option Price Display

Was this issue fixed in v4.6b? I just added a test product and it appears to be showing the option prices correctly for all groups: http://www.liftchair.co/Test-Product-Options-33p30.htm

Brett, If your running V4.6b then your not comparing like with like, but you can get the behaviour your after by configuring the product as a BTO product and IMHO this is a better solution. 
Avalights store is running the apparel product add-on and I suspect to switch to BTO a very large number of products would have needed to be re-entered. As Sean has pointed out already, although apparel sub-product prices can be generated from the option prices there is no permanent link as the sub-product prices can also be set or edited separately. As although Premium White Leather may be $250 and feather cushions $150 it may not necessarily be true that a sofa with  Premium White Leather and feather cushions is $400 more than the base price. This gives store owners maximum flexibility over pricing, but also means we don't know the SKU or price until all the options are selected. 
I don't know the details of Seans mod but I suspect it relies on sub-product prices being strictly based on the option prices and as long as Avalight ALWAYS generates the sub-product prices from the option prices everything should look OK.

Hey Hamish, I wasn't intending to imply that I was comparing like with like, in fact quite the opposite. I was wondering whether the functionality to display prices on the drop downs for standard product options was added in 4.6, which appears to be the case.

Additionally, I was wondering whether the functionality to display a configured subtotal for standard products was originally a standard feature which was removed in 4.6, or was a customization made to avolights store by Sean (or the apparel addon), which also appears to be the case.

I totally agree that BTO products are probably the best way to achieve this functionality, I was just wondering about those two things. At any rate, my questions have been answered. Thanks Hamish and Sean.

Hi Brett,
Did you set up your test product as BTO?
If so then I suspect a javascript conflict if the total is not being updated. From what I remember from when I looked at it I think it was a standard product with options.

Ideally, BTO would be the better solution for this sort of thing; however, we've come up with an elegant "hack" for APP for those (like Curt @ Avalight) who might need to fall back on it. It's a benefit to the entire community here to have great minds weighing in and kicking around ideas & alternatives. PM me with your email and phone number if you'd like me to corroborate your BTO test issue.

I'm not sure if I've been much help in this case actually. I saw the original post and went about trying to tinker with it, only to find that the functionality had already been made standard in 4.6 (in terms of showing price on each option drop down for standard products). It seems that a configured total isn't standard in 4.6, but that is already solved with the customization you made (or the apparel addon? I don't know which) to avolights store. I use BTO products anyways, and so have no need to incorporate configured totals to my Standard products. I'm a novice at best, but I like to think I'm capable of customizing things to suit my needs.
