Trying to set catalog item price via client script

[Ken Berger]

Hi folks,

I have seen this question asked on the community, but nothing seems to fit my particular situation.  I have inherited a catalog item request form with a list collector where users can select multiple Adobe products to request.  The reference for the list collector is the sys_user_group table. I cannot see any pricing info on it or any related fields.  I have the following client script which contains an associative array for the pricing, and I am trying to loop through the user selections; look up the prices in the associative array; sum up the prices for all the selected items and update the catalog item price with the total.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
      return;
   }

   //Calculates the total price of the selected Adobe products
	
	var priceArray = [{"AdobeEnt.AdobeCCE.AcrobatPro": 127.44, "AdobeEnt.AdobeCCE.AfterEffects": 381.60, "AdobeEnt.AdobeCCE.Audition": 381.60, "AdobeEnt.AdobeCCE.Dreamweaver": 381.60, "AdobeEnt.AdobeCCE.FullSuite": 835.44, "AdobeEnt.AdobeCCE.Photoshop": 381.60, "AdobeEnt.AdobeCCE.Premiere": 381.60, "AdobeEnt.AdobeCCE.Stock": 381.60}];
	var adobeApps = g_form.getValue('which_product_are_you_requesting');
	var apps = adobeApps.split(',');
 
	var total = 0;
	for (var i=0; i<apps.length; i++) {
		
		if (priceArray.get(apps[i])) {
			total += priceArray.get(apps[i])[1];
		}		
	}	
	return total;
	g_form.setValue('price', total);
}

I am not sure if it is my array, loop or something else, but the price is not being set when I test out the form and always coming back as $0.00.  As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ken

@Ken Berger  in client script on change of total_price field is selected change it to onchange of "which_product_are_you_requesting" then it should work.

That is working.  Thank you again!

Depending on what you do, this solution here can have undesired consequences.

The issues I see:

• you are not using the model - this can become important for things like Financial Management
• gr as a variable name is a taboo (a bit like current)

So while this might work for your current requirements, keep in mind that you have potential technical debt to pay later.
