    Component Pricing

    We are using catalog and are trying to accomplish the following:

    1. User browses the catalogue and finds the product they require.
    along with the product is another product that they will require (but only one off).
    2. User to enter quantity for product and tick if they require other product or not. If they tick, then only one off this product is added.

    The other product can be ordered alsewhere on the site and at whatever quantity required.

    Currently we have the other product as a component of the first. Downside here is that if the user selects 3 off the first product they will get 3 off the second.

    I have a feeling that I need to create a new product whose only quantity can only be one just for this. But would appreciate if it can be done another way.

    Thanking you all in advance.

    Jeff

    P.S. in case you need to look at the site:-

    You are right. You will need to create the add-on as a separate product if you want the quantity of the add-on to be separate from the quantity of the main product.

    You can maybe use a different product layout to make the add-on appear more compact. Details of how to create compact product layouts are in the Designing With Actinic Guide on p30.

      How to set qty as always 1

      Chris,

      Thanks for the reply. I must be having a mind block, I have created a new product but cannot see where to set the qty as always 1.

      regards,
      Jeff

        You can change the 'Max Quantity Orderable' in the 'General' tab of the product.

          Different way?

          I have made the qty max=1, however as the item is a component of the cartridge, its qty is always reflective of the original product.

          What I am looking to do is to have a product that has the requirement of an additional product. Howeve it is not obligatory that the 2nd product is purchased. (the customer may already have one).
          What is required is the option to select the second product or not and if selected, then only one needs to be purchased irrelevant of how many of the first product is purchased.

          Regards,
          Jeff

            You'll have to do this as a separate product rather than a component in order to have the quantities independent of each other.

              How to

              Thanks Chris,

              What is the best way to create a link to the other product from the first on.

              i.e. Product 1 details with a link/button/text that describes tyhe second product and when clicked take you there?

              Regards,
              Jeff

                Place something like the following in the full description...
                Code:
                This product is available with !!<<a href="http://your.URL/cgi-bin/ss00000x.pl?PRODREF=12345&NOLOGIN=1">this fantastic add-on</a>!!
                Where:
                · http://your.URL/cgi-bin is the URL of your CGI-BIN
                · ss00000x.pl is the name of your search script with the 'x' replaced with your CGI ID number
                · 12345 is the product reference of your desired product.
                · &NOLOGIN=1 is an essential thing to add to the end of the URL to order to bypass the login page
