Guest Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 I've come up with a solution to a problem many people have had here. Mind you I have not checked these forums in a few months so I might be out of the loop on some things. But here goes: Take a look at : GrowingOthers.Com Most products for this site come in multiple formats. Let's say; CD, Tape and Downloadable Media (PDF, DOC, MP3, ETC). For instance take a look at this product However each format may have a different sku associated with it. So you have a single product with multiple sku's (model numbers) associated with it depending on the different formats/options/attributes it has. Ok, we're all familiar with this scenario and there are many workarounds for it. My solution was based around a parent - child analogy which I will discuss in another posts. As you can see it works fairly well for my specific needs. B) This site also uses a modified version of EasyPopulate that helps me manage the 800 plus downloadable products and "event" based products. I REALLY need to get this stuff out to the community for you guys to test out and hack at a bit. So now I have one last issue and I can sleep again. PLEASE SEND HELP: Go ahead and add the above product to your cart (add "Download" to your cart then go back and add a "Tape") Ok, see how it DOESN'T add the word "Tape" to the cart. So as you can see, I need to add extra data to the session and subsequently to the cart. I've found this thread http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=61038 and I know about the Product Attributes - Option Type Feature contribute, but that's not quite what I need. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
