One Product in Multiple Formats

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to set up an inventory of several audio and video titles which are available in multiple formats. I tried doing this using Options, but the main product description line only showed one price or no price.

 

Is there a module for this? I can't find one, so maybe I'm just doing this wrong.

 

I ended up creating multiple items, one for each instance of a format, but this is just bad.

 

Please point me in the right direction, thanks!

You could use Master Products. Set up one master for the name of the film and one slave for each format it comes in. It is a bit involved but gets you there. I guess you would need two or three slaves per master

This looks promising... I guess I'll be rolling up my sleeves a bit to get this done. Kinda hoped I was just missing something obvious. But oh well, if this works, I'll be happy. Wouldn't want to code it from scratch! Thanks!

Okay, this is working pretty well. Just a few oddities that I will have to modify.

 

For instance, the manufacturer search or keyword search pulls up both master and slave items even though I have slave items hidden and only masters show up in category listings. And manuf/keyword result Buy Now links have no ProductID in the URL.

 

Relatively simple to fix probably, whenever I get around to it. ;)
