Product Options

[berryhill]

I am trying to set up a product where there are optional extras, where the optional extra has choice dependant selections to make if the option is selected.

Trialing on the Husqvarna Chainsaw 137.

The Chainsaw has an optional Forest Bag, but for this Forest Bag option you have to select what size of glove and boot you require.

I already have the Forest Bag avail as a stand alone item, but with some saws its avail as an extra.

How is this set up?

You should make a component for the forest bag, and put the two attributes under that. You can use this same component for all occurances of forest bags.

If you then want to link stock, you need to set up permutations and hidden products to represent the options, and then link the permutations for the products as well.

You can't use a product duplicate to represent the optional extra forest bags unfortunately.

I have already got two attributes for this Forest Bag.

I have copied these attributes from the standalone item to the chainsaw which has this available as a option but when you select this optional extra the pricing does not work

http://www.countymowersltd.co.uk/aca...Chainsaws.html

Husqvarna Chainsaw 137.

I can select the chainsaw on its own and the price it correct, but when i select the Forest Bag as an option and select the sizes for the gloves/boots the price is not updated to include the chainsaw price and components price. It should be £200 Saw and £200 Forest Bag when you look in the shopping Basket.

I have checked that the Chainsaw price option is both Sum of Product and Component price and also that I have entered £200 as the component price.

Any further thoughts of where i am going wrong?

Thanks

Where do you set the quantity on the forest bag?

[Jan]

On the components dialogthere is a second tab called permutations, which has pricing options, check what these are set to - if they are set to override and the price is zero that give the results you are seeing, if they are set to component, make sure that the component price is not zero.

If you find nothing there, if might be a problem with your template, so you could try changing the template to one of the standard Actinic ones (or a standard one that you haven't edited) and see if the pricing works correctly after that.

Thanks Jan

Works a treat by changing price from override to component.

Small question - how do i change the layout so they all appear on seperate lines, at present the below line is all on one line.

Would like to tidyup the layout so it is all on seperate lines.

Bill - I currently have all stock levels set to 1 still awaiting stock details from customer.

Thanks

You would need to change a template to add the extra line (unless you can add <BR> to your component HTML name - which actually might work). I am not sure which template you would need to change. Glad that the pricing is working now.

Actually, all you have to do is check the box "Component as separate order line" on the Component -> general tab.

[berryhill]

have tried both adding a <br> and ticking the component on diff line option but it still appears on the same line

Hi,

Jan's suggestion of adding a <BR> just after the component HTML for name should do the trick for you. If you go onto the component and in the HTML for name field change the exixting..

to read

Optional Husqvarna Chainsaw Forest Bag PB3 <BR>

and click on apply, you should be able to see the change happening right there in the preview. Upload the site and it should be fine. I have tried it here on a default site and it works perfectly fine.

Kind regards,

Thanks for your help, adding <BR> works a treat.
