[mv] Promotional prices within a certain time frame / Option price to add to main price

["Vagel" <vagel@telaxion.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from "Vagel" <vagel@telaxion.com>     ******

Hello everyone,
(minivend 4.04)
I have 2 quite specific requests to figure, and I really need some help from
you!  :-)
here they are:

-- 1st
The request is to automatically propose promotional prices within a certain
time frame period. Out of this period the regular price must be considered.
-Each article has 3 different prices in 3 different price-fields as price_1
price_2 and price_3
-Default price is price_1
-Every other price is valid during a period determined by 2 fields (per
price) as:
price_2_start_date and price_2_end_date
price_3_start_date and price_3_end_date
-If the purchase is done within the period going from price_2_start_date to
price_2_end_date, then the customer must pay the price_2
-If the purchase is done within the period going from price_3_start_date and
price_3_end_date, then the price_3 must be considered
-Out of these 2 periods the price_1 is considered

*** The problem that I have here is how to perform this price choise
comparing the purchase's date with the price's valid period dates?


-- 2nd
The request here is to have a products file and a products_option one.
The aim is to give the customer the possibility to choose additionnaly of
the main article, an option (which can be another basis material, another
color or additionnal accessory etc...) anyway something that makes the basic
price change!

The products_option contains a price-field to add to the main article's one.
I figured out the link and display of the options in the flypage and this
works fine.

*** What I dont see how to do is : When the customer clicks on the option,
add the option's price to the main article's price and make this new price
(article-price + option-price) considered in the basket.

I'll really appreciated any help on this because I'm really stopped ... :-(
Thanks in advance for you time
Cheers
