: How do I set "Starting at : " value for a Grouped product in Magento? I recently created a grouped product by going through a tutorial. Everything is working fine except for the fact that,

Heh, the old Starting At bug.

Go to one of the individual product items in the group, increase its price by a penny, save and then reduce back to normal price.

This resets the group's Starting At: price.

No amount of reindexing will clear it and usually, it's only one or two Grouped items a month that will fail to update during a price change.

Here is a forum post about this from the Magento forums:

User Lenster provides code for app/design/frontend/[theme]/default/template/catalog/price.phtml that shows the first price from the set of group items as the starting price.

<?php else: /* if (!$_product->isGrouped()): */ ?>
<?php

?>
<?php if ($this->getDisplayMinimalPrice() && $_minimalPriceValue): ?>
<div class="price-box">
<p class="minimal-price">
<span class="price-label"><?php echo $this->__('Starting at:') ?></span>
<?php
$pos1_price = 0;
$specialprice = 0;
$products = $_product->getTypeInstance()->getAssociatedProducts();

foreach ($products as $product){
$prod_position = $product->getPosition();

if ($prod_position == 1):
$_exclTax = $product->getPrice();
$_inclTax = $product->getPrice();
$pos1_price = 1;
$specialprice = $product->getSpecialPrice();
endif;
}

if (!$pos1_price):
$_exclTax = $_taxHelper->getPrice($_product, $_minimalPriceValue, $includingTax = null);
$_inclTax = $_taxHelper->getPrice($_product, $_minimalPriceValue, $includingTax = true);

endif;


if ($_taxHelper->displayBothPrices()): ?>
