Bit Of Oscommerce Coding

Greeting programmers!

I’m looking for an experienced OSCommerce programmer to help me with a bit of custom coding.

**** SHORT VERSION ****
I need a programmer to help me pull pricing info, based on the currently viewed category, and teach me to manually put it into category pages.

I’m using OSC 2.2 RC2 with STS Templates.

**** LONG VERSION ****
I’m in charge of our rather large OSC web store. We’re about to add a database of 1800 new Router Bits (for woodworking) in 290 categories. In the current OSC configuration, this many products would be annoying to click through.

More importantly, as you drill down the categories, you’ll end up with a single type of bit, that is available in MANY different sizes and arrangements.

The vendor who makes these router bits does a great job of arranging them on their own website, and we’re using their content. Instead of having a separate page for each product size, they have a single page with a list of available sizes. Here is an important example: http://www.amanatool.com/bits-fv/49360.html

We want to replicate this in our OSC store. To do so, I’ve created the categories, and used STS Templates to create a custom category page. On that page I’ve been moving the content from the vendor’s site, to our own. Here is a completed category page on our site based on the page I just pointed you to at the vendor’s site:
http://www.woodwerks.com/superabbet%C3%82%E2%84%A2-c-236_237_247_293.html

Now normally, all of the products in that category would show up in a grid under my custom content. But I don’t want that. So I took out the $content tag in the STS template.

Instead I add a “Add to cart” button next to each product listing and manually include the correct link.

What you’ll notice missing on my page, is a price.

THE JOB
I need some code to dump into each of these category pages, what will pull the price of each product from my products database, and put them in a price column.

I don’t know if this should be done by somehow looking at the current category you’re in, and pulling the price for every product in that category?

Either way, once the price is available, I need instructions (a line of code with product id) for dropping into the price column for each product.

The goal here is to manually list out all the products, but dynamically keep their price up to date on the page by pulling it from the database.

Good lord I hope this makes sense. Please feel free to email me with questions before you bid.

Thanks!

Murray eases past Chela in Madrid

Andy Murray

Andy Murray will focus only on his first match at this week’s Madrid Open as he attempts to recover some form following an indifferent start to 2010.

The Scot gets a first-round bye as the third seed and will play Pablo Cuevas or a qualifier in his opening game.

Murray could face Roger Federer or Andy Roddick in the semi-finals.

"I’ve not made it past the second round in a tournament for the last three or four so it’s totally pointless for me to look any further," said Murray.

The Scot enjoyed a fine start to the year when he reached the Australian Open final before losing to Federer in straight sets.

Since then, though, he has had a disappointing run with five wins and five defeats in his five tournament appearances.

Prior to last month’s Rome Masters the Scot had been knocked out at the first hurdle in successive tournaments in Miami and Monte Carlo.

And although he managed to negotiate his way past Andreas Seppi in his opening match in Italy, he then fell to David Ferrer in the following round.

"I’ve got to win my first match. I know it’s boring but that’s what I’ve got to do," said Murray.

"I need to just try and win my first match and then we’ll see. It depends how a lot of the other guys play, you never know how the draws will work out.

"I just want to play well, if I play well then I’ll be happy.

"I’d love to win the tournament but unfortunately I’m in a position right now where I need to focus very hard from the first matches and fight my way through the early rounds.

"If I can do that then I’ll give myself a chance of doing well, but I’m not going to get ahead of myself."

Murray’s bid to win his first title of 2010 received a boost when world number two, and last year’s semi-finalist, Novak Djokovic withdrew from the tournament.

Djokovic took the decision after being forced to retire from the Serbia Open during his quarter-final with fellow Serb Filip Krajinovic due to illness and allergies.

If there are no upsets his semi-final opponent is set to be world number one and defending champion Federer, who begins against either Spanish wildcard Carlos Moya or Germany’s Benjamin Becker.

The Swiss arrives in Madrid on the back of a surprise semi-final defeat by Spain’s Albert Montanes on a heavy clay court slowed by a day of rain at the Estoril Open.

Rafael Nadal, last year’s runner-up in Madrid, is seeded second and will meet either Italy’s Andreas Seppi or a qualifier in the second round.

The Spanish world number three, who won the Madrid title in 2005, is looking to break Andre Agassi’s Open Era record of 17 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 trophies.
