<span class="label wk_action" id="edit_link_<?php echo $products->getId(); ?>">
        <img onclick="showField('<?php echo $products->getId(); ?>'); return false;" src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('marketplace/images/icon-edit.png'); ?>"/>
    </span>  
<p id="updatedqty_<?php echo $products->getId(); ?>" style = "display:none;color:red;">Updated</p>
    <br/>
    <button id="update_button_<?php echo $products->getId(); ?>" class="button wk_mp_btn1" onclick="updateField('<?php echo $products->getId(); ?>'); return false;" style="display:none" >
        <span><span style="font-size:12px;"><?php echo $helper->__('Update') ?></span></span>
    </button>

    <button id="reset_button_<?php echo $products->getId(); ?>" type="reset" class="cancel" onclick="hideReset('<?php echo $products->getId(); ?>'); return false;" style="display:none" >
        <span><span><?php echo $helper->__('Cancel') ?></span></span>
    </button>

controller file

public function updateFieldAction(){

    $stockItem->setData('qty', $this->getRequest()->getParam('qty'));

    $stockItem->save();

    $response['message'] = 'Your Product Is Been Sucessfully Updated';
    $this->getResponse()->setBody(Mage::helper('core')->jsonEncode($response)); 
    //Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addSuccess(Mage::helper('marketplace')->__('Your Product Is Been Sucessfully Updated'));
      }

}

what code needs to be changed to work for price....

Answer 1

Price is part of the product object rather than the stock item object. Therefore you need to take a different approach, either loading the products, updating their price values and saving them OR...

... using Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_action')->updateAttributes($product, array($price stuff)...).

Given this situation you may want to use Magento's import methods to import prices.
