AgoraCart Free User Forums

I have a product that has multiple sizes (for simplicity say S M L). I want to give the user the ability to order all these on the same page without a drop down menu. Obviously this is easy to do by just making each their own product, the "problem" is that by doing so you will display an image for each where really one image is needed.

For example (assuming an oversimplified one per line set up):

<T-Shirt #1 Image> <S> <quantity field>
<T-Shirt #1 Image> <M> <quantity field>
<T-Shirt #1 Image> <L> <quantity field>
<T-Shirt #2 Image> <S> <quantity field>
<T-Shirt #2 Image> <M> <quantity field>
<T-Shirt #2 Image> <L> <quantity field>

What I want is:

<T-Shirt #1 Image> <S> <quantity field> <M> <quantity field> <L> <quantity field>
<T-Shirt #2 Image> <S> <quantity field> <M> <quantity field> <L> <quantity field>

I think just looking at the way the text displays above you can see why I want to do this - much more concise when you have many products with many sizes. I've dug around a lot and can thing up some workarounds, but nothing that really achieves the clean look I desire.

Any advise would be most helpful, also would this be something that the Pro Version does? I think I've pretty much tweaked the free version as much as I can....

Here is a link to the site http://host519.ipowerweb.com/~skatesea/cgi-bin/Agora/agora.cgi

Thanks again!

Brent,
Take a look at the sizes_opt.html file in the 'html/options' directroy for help on setting that up.

HTH!

Thanks! That's definitely what I was looking for (guess I have to add the sizes back into the checkout now )

So as a follow up, is there a way to make the sizes variable based on availability. For instance, if I'm out of Medium, I dont want it to show up. I suppose I can just make an Option Set to cover all the combinations, and then specify them via a CSV update, but an automated means would be more useful. I suspect that is the best way (individual option sets), but I have a stock guage in there too, so if there was an automated method to limit, I would imagine I could incorporate my guage as well.

Alternatively I know there is a quantity field, but using this method (as opposed to the inventory item per size method) is there a way to display the quatities per size?

Thanks again,
Brent.

Brent,
Unfortunately, there is not a way to inventory options, just products.

Hmmm I think I could probably work around it if I could add fields. Im about maxxed on the premade ones now. Obviously, adding columns in the CSV is no problem, but where would they be referenced then, the agora.cgi file?? I know this is some real tweaking of the app but it'd be immensely useful to at least provide an in stock quantity per size, and if I had additional fields, this wouldnt be a problem at all.

Thoughts?

To get additional user fields, you would need to upgrade to the pro version of the cart...

Ack! Though I'd figured I'd hit that eventually. Now, do I need only the Lifetime Membership? Or that AND the booster pack? Thanks!

10 user field version requires Premier Membership
20 user fields, Premier Membership PLUS Booster Pack.

HTH!

OK, I upgraded to Lifetime, but now what? I haven't received any email on downloading? I'm assuming you'll just email me when my account has been set up and I can login and download, correct? Maybe I'm missing something, but that's all I can figure at the moment.

Thanks!

I don't handle the memberships, but it can take up to 5 business days to get your order verified and get you added to all of the Pro Member areas.
When that is all complete, you will received and "Activation" email with all the info you need.

HTH!

Thanks, I figured as much, just wanted confirmation to ensure I wasnt missing some thing

I quote one of Bonny's replies earlier in this thread ..

Where does this sit? How does it get populated? I.e. when does option information get put in it?
Liz

The file is located in the 'html/options' directroy.
It gets affiliated with the required product in the Product Add/Edit manager.
Then the cart dynamically inserts the information intot he product listing.

HTH!

So I use the Product Add/Edit Manager to populate this file, I don't have to do in and hand edit the options.html file?
Liz

nope. you use the add or edit products screen to choose the option by name. when you create an option you should name it something descriptive so you know which product(s) to use the file with.
you edit the file directly. it's in the store/html/options folder. create as many as you need. you can even make like 10 different option files then call them all with one.
