Expresso Store Dynamic Price

Question

I am trying to set up the dynamic price feature in Expresso Store. I have set the dynamic price setting to 'yes' for my channel field but the product form in my template does not display unless I set a price for the product.

Any help is appreciated.

I am not sure if this is a bug or not but you can enter . or 0 into the price field then in your template you would need to do something along the lines of:

{if price_val == 0}
  Price: <input type="text" name="price" value="" >
  <input type="hidden" id="item_qty" name="item_qty" value="1" />
{if:else}
  {price}
  <input type="text" id="item_qty" name="item_qty" value="{min_order_qty}" />
{/if}

Ideally you would have any item where a user can enter their own price in a particulate channel since it could allow technically savvy users to adjust the price of items where you have set the price. In that case you could then use a conditional on the channel instead of relying on the price for the conditional.

{if channel == "donations"}
  Price: <input type="text" name="price" value="" >
  <input type="hidden" id="item_qty" name="item_qty" value="1" />
{if:else}
  Your normal markup
{/if}
