sprocket100 Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Hi, This is my first post - and I'm hoping this is an appropriate place to post (moving it over from Order Modules) - I have been developing with osCommerce for the last couple of months and am getting close to launch of v1.0 of our site. I have one issue that I'd really like to solve relating to pricing of what I think of as a "dynamic product". Here's the deal: As part of our offering, the customer receives a custom full-color document with their order - the length of this document in pages is a direct function of the number of items ordered (this could be 100's/1000's). The first copy is standard with the order and free. However, there is very likely to be occassion when the customer would like multiple copies of this document. I would like to set up a product "additional copies" that calculates its own price based on the number of items in the cart (not including itself). Any hints on a general approach, existing solutions, etc. would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paycheck Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Have you checked the contributions section for a contribution? Use the search and look there first. If that does not work I would take this post to Tips and Ticks forum. JM Always remember, we need patience, guidance and most of all understanding.

sprocket100 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Yep, I've been through the contributions fairly thoroughly - page by page. I've also searched a few variations of my note. I have some ideas about where to begin with this from scratch, but I've found over the last couple of months that it's best to mull things over for a while before jumping into custom coding. I may try the tips and tricks area although I read the guidelines for the forum and the moderator says that users shouldn't be asking for advice there - just posting "tips and tricks". If I find a good solution to this, I'll post it there. Thanks, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paycheck Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Maybe try modifying one of the free shipping modules with certain amount of purchases. This may at least give you a guideline to follow and all you would have to do is change table names, queries and product etc. JM Always remember, we need patience, guidance and most of all understanding.
