mr_dave Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I am making a store that is going to sell both single mp3s as well as full albums. I know that if I want to do this, each mp3 needs to be entered as a product, but I only want to show the full album & then have the option for buying the single mp3 in the description for that album. How can I have the single mp3s as products so they can be added to the shopping cart like the albums, and yet only have them appear in the corresponding album description? I have done a few searches to try & find an answer, but not sure what I should search for, or if anyone has even wanted this type of functionality. Here is the layout I have so far to give an idea of what I am looking for, though the Buy buttons obviously do not work yet. Thanks in advance. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropdeadred Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 You can do it using product attributes, but they'd only be able to put one mp3 into their cart at a time. Set up options with the name of the album, and then each individual track would be one of your values. e.g. my store has "format" as an option and then multiple values like CD, Cassette, LP. Yours would have "Best Album Ever" and then mutliple values of "track 1," "track 2" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use Master Products for that. I think there is also a similar contribution like that (Wolfen's featured set perhaps?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Products looks like what I need. However, I installed it and though it labels products in the admin as master & slave, it still shows the slave products in the New Products area (something I definitely don't want.) In the product info area something is getting jacked where I think the Buy button and the slave items are supposed to appear. This message appears: ----- TEXT_STOCK (I think this is where the Buy button for the master appears?) This product was added to our catalog on Wednesday 23 May, 2007. TEXT_SLAVE_PRODUCTS (This is where the slave items get listed?)
