Magento 1.9 – Custom Price Attribute on Cart Page

Edited:

1. add New Action (rentAction) to CartContoller.php and Copy code of addAction to this new Action
2. add New field (from_rent) to sales_quote_item which define a cart is doing from rent button

See Add a column to quote item table

1. then using checkout_cart_product_add_after set from_rent=1 using
   current request Action

See how use this event http://doghouse.agency/article/magento-adding-message-product-during-purchase

public function addrentFlag(Varien_Event_Observer $observer) {
        try {

            $Event = $observer->getEvent();
                $product=$Event->getProduct();
                $quote_item=$Event->getQuoteItem();
                $item = ($quote_item->getParentItem()?$quote_item->getParentItem():$quote_item );
                if(Mage::app()->getRequest()->getActionName()=='rent'):
                $item->setFromRent(1);
            endif;
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            // log any issues, but allow system to continue.

            mage::logException($e);
            if (mage::getIsDeveloperMode()) {
                die($e->getMessage());
            }
        }
        return $this;
    }

a.you can use magento event/observer. Basically there are two events,by which you can change the cart price of that products:

1. checkout_cart_product_add_after
2. checkout_cart_update_items_after
3. checkout_cart_product_update_after

This 3 event is need because of:

Event1:checkout_cart_product_add_after

This event is fire when first time a product is cart for current session of current input values from frontend

Event2:checkout_cart_product_update_after

This event is fire when a current exiting cart item edited from edit link of cart item.

Event3:checkout_cart_update_items_after

This event is fire whenever cart items update from cart page.

As per as magento system, a cart item price change using setter functions setCustomPrice(), setOriginalCustomPrice of cart item Object.

Just like:

$EachCartitem->setCustomPrice($price);
$EachCartitem->setOriginalCustomPrice($price);
// Enable super mode on the product.
$EachCartitem->getProduct()->setIsSuperMode(true);

And using events fire an observer which is calculate price basic of your your rend field.
