overkill Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Hey everyone, I am getting jelious here because every post I read, people are getting this "must select" contrib to work....except me....haha.. I have read the readme.txt file but is doesn't really explain how to use this feature. Here is what my Product Attribs looks like: PRODUCT OPTIONS Option Name = Must Select OPTION VALUES ID = 14 Option Name = Must Select Option Value = -Please Select- PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES ID = 29 Product Name = Product B Option Name = Must Select Option Value = - Please Select - Value Price = 0.0000 Prefix = + Here is my thing. I need this contrib to ensure that Product A is in their Shopping Cart prior to them Selecting Product B. If they select Product B and not Product A, it will force them to purchase Product A. Also how do I make the association between Product A and B, in other words, how does this contrib know that Product B is dependent on the purchase of Product A? I hope this is enough information and that you understand this. Thanks so much
overkill Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 somebody must know how to use this, any suggestions?
wheeloftime Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 somebody must know how to use this, any suggestions? Take a look at contributions like family products, master products and maybe others there are of this kind. I don't know/use both so can't tell you anymore about them.
overkill Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 hey wheeloftime, yeah, I have been doing this for a while now, it seems so simple and so many people would be having this problem too....arrggg...oh well, hopefully someone can tell me the secret of this contrib.
overkill Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 Found another contrib that kinda does what I need it to...contrib is "Download Controller"... It more or less works the way I need it too BUT when a product has a weight of 0, I get stuck at the "Delivery Information" page and it will not allow me to continue.... Any help would be great!
overkill Posted January 15, 2006 Author Posted January 15, 2006 Ok so the download controller didn't do what I needed it to do. Can SOMEONE please help me understand the must select contrib. It seems like a great mod, so I would like to utlize it if possible. All I want to happen, is that if the customer purchases PRODUCT B, PRODUCT A must also be in their shopping cart!!! I have followed the must select instructions to the tee but can't get it to do the above. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
overkill Posted January 15, 2006 Author Posted January 15, 2006 Just looking at the must select contrib, and will this contrib even do the above? I don't think it will as it only force the customer to select an attribute and no another mandatory product Pls, does anyone know????????
♥bruyndoncx Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Hi Matt, The must select contribution will never do what you require. It only forces the customer to select from the options provided for the particular product, it does NOT make any link to another product. I can't really comment on download controller, I have no experience with it. If I were you, I'd open up a new thread with the download controller issue that you are experiencing. Sorry to not being of much help here KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON I do not use the responsive bootstrap version since i coded my responsive version earlier, but i have bought every 28d of code package to support burts effort and keep this forum alive (albeit more like on life support). So if you are still here ? What are you waiting for ?! Find the most frequent unique errors to fix: grep "PHP" php_error_log.txt | sed "s/^.* PHP/PHP/g" |grep "line" |sort | uniq -c | sort -r > counterrors.txt
overkill Posted January 15, 2006 Author Posted January 15, 2006 No problem, I more or less kinda worked around the download controller contrib, but do you know of another contrib that will force product a to be purchased when product be is selected?
overkill Posted January 15, 2006 Author Posted January 15, 2006 I just look and 99% of the contribs on this site and couldn't find one that force product A to be purchased when product be is in the shopping cart. Does ANYONE know if there actually is one? This is the last contrib I need before I can fully launch the store. I AM SOOOOOO CLOSE...PLS HELP~!!
♥bruyndoncx Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 How about bundled products, selling B only as a bundle with product A ?

overkill Posted January 15, 2006 Author Posted January 15, 2006 That would work, but they for example can purchase 99 of product B and only 1 of Product A....I have set it up so that both product A & B can be purchased in any quantity... Great idea though....

Great idea though.... using a bundle and then you could create an option for product B for each of the quantities they can by with one of product A. It would be a long list ie 1..99 or which ever the allowable quantities are and set the pricing accordingly for the additional number of products B selected. theoritically I think this is a solution , practically, perhaps not so ... you to judge B) KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON I do not use the responsive bootstrap version since i coded my responsive version earlier, but i have bought every 28d of code package to support burts effort and keep this forum alive (albeit more like on life support).

overkill Posted January 16, 2006 Author Posted January 16, 2006 hahahaha, that will work...it will take some time too enter in all the values but I think it might just be the solution to the problem....do you have that icon of a box to indicate that you thik outside of it?..hahahaha perhaps you can help me with one last issue. I need product C to always have free shipping (digital product to download). I have enabled it...here is my setup for it... Configurations --> Download --> Enable Download = true Catalog --> Product Attributes --> (SEE BELOW) product name = "Digital product to be downloaded" option name = please select option value = download value price = 0 prefix = + Filename = unreal.zip expiry = 7 download count = 1 Thanks for all your help...you are da bomb
overkill Posted January 16, 2006 Author Posted January 16, 2006 One more question, any idea how to organize the attributes section once they are displayed in the website? I have the following How many back-ups? 6 5 4 3 0 2 1 I want it to go from 0-6? Any ideas?
♥bruyndoncx Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 on the product info page you'll find a section where the options_value_name is selected, add to the end of this ' order by options_value_name asc' and that will then list them alphabetically in ascending order. By default they are rendered based upon the id, resulting in the ones added first to be shown first in the list.
