Hi all,

I am struggling with the following. For ordering print jobs I need users to input an amount of pages in a text attribute field. The price should be updated accordingly.

For instance:
Ordering 10 copies of a printjob containing 40 pages would amount to:

Order quantity 10
40 pages per copy (40*0.05)
= 10*(40*0.05)

I use the attribute token module but I have no way of finding out what token is generated for the text attribute's input field. From firebug I can see it is called attribute-1 and I've labeled the attribute 'pages' but using $attribute-1 or [pages] yields no results.

I have tried figuring out what token is used though admin/help/token but I get no help available for the (installed and enabled) token module.

To make things worse, I have abosolutely no idea how to make the syntax for the example above.

Could anyone offer me an example or any help?

I'm going to move this to the queue for uc_attribute_tokens, because it's really about how to use that module.

The attribute token is the "Name" of the attribute.

Go to admin/store/attributes on your site and you should see a table of your attributes. The table columns are:
Name, Label, Required, List position, Number of options, Display type, Operations

You want to use the value in the "Name" column as the token name.

For example, with your situation, you probably have a textfield attribute with a name "Pages". (Note, capitalization does matter here ...).

So in the Custom Price Calculation for your product, you will want to write:

  $item->price = 0.05 * (int) [Pages];

The [Pages] token will get replaced by whatever number the user entered in the textfield, and the item price will be set accordingly.

Thanks for the help with attribute token, but how can i take the option of attribute?
cost, sell price, weight, for example something like this:
[Pages][sell_price]
but in this way i get 2 things: [Pages] attribute and the [sell_price] of product not the only attribute Pages sell price.

Someone can help me?

Thanks
