Section Level 'Other Info' Prompt/Visible Stock Levels by product option?

[pandpdeveloper]

I'm working on a site that the client uses to order items seperately and as part of a 'kit'. I've tried to see how to make a 'kit' full of products with seperate information and up to yet this model seems to be the best option.

- The ideal for a 'kit' would be a single page, with each product listed (product choices next to it) and stock levels for each product option visible.

- At the bottom would be a single 'add-to-cart' button which combines any products that have been given a quantity of 1 or more and adds the lot to the basket.

Now, I currently have the product image, description, pricing, options all working in the 'single add-to-cart' button setup. I have even used the AUG to implement the visible stock level display on each product.

****Is it possible to show stock levels by product option - as per the AUG article on product option stock monitoring with the default current stock level changing when a product option is selected?

****Can I add a single 'Other Info Prompt' type text box outside the product layouts but before the add-to-cart button in order to add 'Employee information' to the basket (effectively making the items ordered a 'kit' for 'Employee X' and 'wrapping' them up as such?

This is probably developer level code but my skills appear to be improving and confidence is getting the better of me.

Thanks for all the help so far....

Is it possible to show stock levels by option (or the default current stock level changing when a product option is selected)?

the latter would require some sort of dynamic change. For that, Norman would be your man (you'll have to email him now as it would require custom work, I would think.)
By "stock levels by option" do you mean in the dropdown?
If so, this is in the AUG, I think.

Can I add a single 'Other Info Prompt' type text box pbefore the add-to-cart button, but not inside a product layout to add 'Employee information' to the basket (making the items ordered a 'kit' for 'Employee X'?

There already is one. See the 'prompts' tab in the product.

Yes, (please see edited post above). I saw the AUG article - would it list / amend the displayed stock level by dropdown choice though or is that the 'dynamic' aspect Norman the magical would be best for.

I've tried it and it works great, but only adds the prompt at product level (and only if that product is ordered). In a kit where any combination of products may be ordered that would mean a prompt in every product (my temporary solution).

What I need is a way of wrapping the items ordered in that 'add-to-basket' submission into a defined 'kit' - with a name attached to it to identify those products as being for a particular employee and preferably submitting the Employee information only once per submission.

Sorry if I am being overcomplex. It's potentially a massive deal and the client has specific ideas. I just want to sound them out.
