osCommerce

The e-commerce.

More than one product per page

Hello everyone!

 

I've done a long hard search through the contributions, forum and google for an answer, or even a direction to think in for this issue.

 

Our company sells car products. One sku (product) fits many type of cars. We want to be able to let the customer look up their car, and have the item they need, as well as the necessary, and optional accessories for that item appear ON THAT PAGE.

 

So if I want a car stereo (sku 123) it fits Ford 150's for 2000-2005. It also fits Chevy Cavaliers from 1983-1989, but on the S class. There is a different wiring kit for each one of these.

 

So here's the scenerio -

 

I create a guided (drop down) search for:

Car Maker (ford)

Car type (F150)

Car Year (2000)

 

Which will return a product page with the stereo, the needed wiring for an 150, and any accessories that might be optional for it.

 

Because OSCommerce takes each product as being "unique" how do I explain to it that a sku 123 fits 3 car makers with 4 years a piece?

 

So it's a double question. I am new to php/mysql, but have an asp/mssql background. I've completed one store already, and wouldn't mind working with a programmer for assistance, or generous compensation.

I'll try that contribution!

 

 

The first time I saw that, as far as I understood by reading over it, it wouldn't work because while I have one product (say one sku) it needs to be tagged with multiple cars and multiple wiring.

 

Displaying all the options for that stereo isn't an option, because my boss is very particular that people not be shown things they can't buy - too many returns.

If you look again at the contribution page you will see that there is a 'multiple master' add on - you need to make the vehicle the 'master' - with the master only the applicable slaves will display with it

:D
