I purchased GMO and like it a lot.
Me too!
I've found a small bug in it in that if you add an already created GMO when creating your product, it does not save that. You have to go back in and click it again.
I've noticed this a few times, but you can also put in all your products and then add the GMOs to them via the GMO "links" tab later.
More importantly, I have taken an order on my website, however, I cannot access the GMO options that were selected, so I have had to contact the buyer, which is not exactly professional. ... How do I see what options were selected when the order was made and the product added ton the cart?
I haven't gone live yet, but this concerns me.
Me too, sort of. This post and your site convinced me to switch to OC with GMO!
I have created a GMO which adds the colour, size and style (polo shirts and hoodies cost extra).
My problem is that some colours are not available in some sizes.
Also, some colours are not available in womens styles, to basically, I would like the GMO to auto filter based on this
My hierarchy would be
1. Male/Female
2. Style - Tshirt, Polo, Hoodie
3. Size
Male -S, M, L, XL
Female - 8, 10, 12, 14
4. Colour
Male - White, Black, Red, Blue
Male - White, Black, Red, Blue, Pink
Hope you understand what I mean.
I think I do. I'm switching from UberCart which did all of these things, but it's very complicated to keep up. But from my experience with it, I created separate GMOs and added help text in parenthesis. So I have the following GMOs:
_Customization 10 [ Edit ]
Apparel Size 4XL-5XL 1 [ Edit ]
Apparel Size S-3XL 0 [ Edit ]
Apparel Sub Shirts 2 [ Edit ]
Apparel Vinyl Colors 3 [ Edit ]
Apparel Vinyl T-Shirts 2 [ Edit ]
Sorry they don't paste well, put you can see the weight(importance) of each. They're named like that so when I'm looking at the list in the new product form I can hit only the checkboxes that apply to the products in a particular category. Customization goes with nearly everything, hence the underscore to make it alphabetize at the top of the list. It has the text entry, file upload, and instructions. Sizes are pretty self explanatory - most everything I have goes up a fixed amount per larger size, and only a few things come greater than 3XL. The Sub Shirts and Vinyl Shirts GMOs have the available colors, sleeve length, and image/text size options.
Apparel Vinyl has the colors and types of the vinyl I use, number of colors wanted, and print size. So it goes like this:
What type of vinyl? (Plain, Flock, Glitter, etc.)
Then I listed all of my vinyl colors that are common to all types, then the others with parenthesis. So say black comes in all materials, but brown comes in flock and plain; so the entry for brown is "Brown (No Glitter.)
As a tshirt person, I think you'll understand it when you see it: oc.bluedogblackdog.com and look at them under the tshirts category. (Note that this isn't "live" yet, so the pricing and everything isn't finalized. I'm just testing the waters.) Additional information and directions for the customer will go in the description panes.
Since the pdf catalog and the catalog panes show the base price for the custom apparel, I'm going to add info on the related pages and home page to explain that the prices shown are
before customization, and that additional charges apply when you add your options, etc. It's really only apparel and vinyl that will have that issue, my sub stuff pricing only changes with size options. I think I saw a module that will allow you to put a price range in... (thinking out loud.)
I actually do more sub work than apparel, but since it's the hardest to customize I started with those products to see if OC would work for me. Since we're (apparently) on different continents, I hope you don't mind that your site was my inspiration.
