hobaugh Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Most of my products can be ordered in different sizes. The user could buy one 12oz bottle or a case of 12oz bottles. Right now I have the size as a product attribute. When the shipping is calculated it only picks up the weight specified in the admin section. So how should I handle this: 1: Create an entry for each product size 2: Add a weight option that does not get displayed and modify the shipping code to use this Or some other method that I'm not thinking of?

Ajeh Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Presently, the attributes do not address the weight issue. In about a week or two, I should be done with an add-on that will handle that an many other attribute issues. I cannot give you an exact date, as I am trying to make this an add-on that will give full flexibility on products with attributes for prices, discounts, weights, stock etc. If you want to go it on your own ... follow the trail of price_prefix It is a long one and you have to follow that through both the catalog and the admin side. From the start of adding a product through the shopping cart, checkout, order history and admin orders. It's a splendid time guaranteed for all ... 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so this is excellent news as this is probably the system's biggest weakness. If you need help testing let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Oh you can be sure when this is functional I will need some testers to say the very least. Thanks for the offer ... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wider Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Dear Linda, you mod could just be what I need. I've tried QT Pro, but it somehow doesn't work with my modded store. It deletes all products where option stock is changed. I'd really love you for an alternative approach. How is the development going? (Not putting pressure on you!!!) :wink: Could you please reply to this thread, when ready! Thanks a lot! German Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I released Attributes Sorter and Copier v5.1 with Weight features and a few other things on my web site, while testing it out. Let me know if you run into any issues I should be aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wider Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Thanks Linda! This looks like a fab contribution! Does it address the main feature I'm looking for, though? I don't quite understand what this means: product_listing.php now has individual Qty boxes on products without Attributes that can be entered all at the same time with one Add Selected Items to Cart button. If there are attributes, the buy_now button will be displayed, otherwise, the QTY box will be displayed. What I am trying to do, is to display and handle the quantities of product A(5) in red and the quantities of Product A in blue(0), etc. Is that included in this contribution? I am not quite sure from the explanation. (Can you give me the password for your test-admin url from the readme-file. Thanks you! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
