Addition to product attributes?

[Nitro187]

Ok, I am converting this persons store: - Poker Store

 

to oscommerce:

 

Poker Store in oscommerce

 

Now, the problem I am having is, when people go to buy some of the poker chips in the first site (the one I'm converting from) they have an option afterwards to select which color they want, in multiples of 50.

 

For example, if they buy 300, they have say, 4 colors. Red, green, black, blue.

 

When they click Add on the old site, they can type in 2 (for 2 sets of 50) in red, 1 for blue, and 1 for black.

 

I want to add this ability to the oscommerce side, yet I'm confused on how I should approach this.

 

I tried the "product attributes" as you can see, i'm already using them. But this makes it very hard when trying to do it for colors, as I would have to put in unique lines for each color "set 1 - blue, red, black, green" "set 2- blue red, black, green"

 

and so on, I'm sure you can see how time consuming that would be, and how annoying it would be to edit the products. Could anyone provide me with a much easier way to do this? Possibly a contribution?

 

Thanks!

 

Please help, I'll give you something great if you help! :D

I would recommend the following contriibution that will allow you to add a text

input box as an attribute for each of the chip colors.

Quick question though, before I add this. Does it take a lot of inputting to enter stuff for each product? Thanks.

Once you add the attributes to the product, the user will only have to enter the quantity in the text input box that he/she wants to order. So it should work out.

What I mean is, for the Admin.

 

Adding the attributes in the first place.

 

The admin I'm making this for, doesn't want to have to sit there and add attributes for 1 product for 30 minutes each.

 

This doesn't help that?
