[ic] How to display adjusted options prices?

[Fred Pope]

"Are you doing it such that you set the base price in the products 
table to be 0, and the price in options table to be, eg, 
"S=100, M=100, L=105" "

No, I set the base price in the price field and then adjust the price in
the using the options price i.e. in option.txt you would have L=Large in
the one Field, and L=5 in the price field. 

"Do you mean adding "price=1"?"

Actually I set price=4.

Make sure you are using the textfile and not the database table.

Yes, this is what I'm looking for...

Are you doing it such that you set the base price in the products 
table to be 0, and the price in options table to be, eg, 
"S=100, M=100, L=105"
?

If so, I didn't really want to do that, as I have a few more sizes 
than that for each product.  Moreover, only 1 size for ALL products 
needed the additional cost.

If not, I'll be very interested to know how you did it!

Yes, these worked in the select box.  But whatever I selected on the 
flypage had no effect on the checkout page, ie, size L is still $100 
instead of $105  :(  What else could have caused this discrepancy?

I have a feeling I need to set the item price (according to size) 
into the cart somewhere, not sure whether I'm heading in the right 
direction...  Using item-options seem to do it "automatically" 
somewhere, but using the pricing table doesn't, so I should add some 
codes somewhere.

Yes, I tried that.  In my options table, my price field for each 
product looked like this:

L=+5

That's why if I were to use the options table, my select box would 
show "L -- $5", instead of "L -- $105"  :(
