Not what I need

Well, that helps a little, but doesn't really do what I need. All it does is control how the attribute price is displayed in the list, not the underlying price. If I set a price that is anything other than zero, then the price of the attribute is added to it, when I want it to replace the price. So, f I'm understanding this properly, it is automatically assumed that when adding attributes to a product, the attribute adds to the pre-defined base price instead of replacing it. Why is that? That doesn't make sense to me. In addition, the base price is always displayed in the catalog, so in my case, I will always have a base price of $0.00. I suppose my option is to have the base price of the smallest quantity, but that means that what my user would have to put in would be the difference between each quantity and the base quantity, not the actual price for the quantity, which would be confusing, both for the user and the customer.

So what I need is two things:

  1. The ability to keep the base price from being displayed when the product is listed (since it will always be $0 in this case).
  2. The ability for the attribute price to replace the base price, not augment it.

If there are settings that will do that for me, great, but I haven't found them. If coding is required, can someone please point me in the right direction in terms of where this code would need to be modified. I've written plenty of Drupal code before, so I can do that if necessary.

Thanks.
