Simple Question? simple answer?


I WANT TO KNOW, is it possible to have The product details to have a Cat - (Yes) then to have a Sec Cat (yes) now i want to know, is it possible to have a Third and Fourth?

And if so, can the price change in an instance, as soo as you click From one drop down option to another?

e.g. I click on

(cat 1) Colour
(cat 2 ) - Black - £20
(cat3) - Black with white lines
(cat 2 ) White - £35
(cat3) - white with purple lines £45

price chances if the pick a cat within a cat


do you understand?

no that was an example, thoses prices in the Sub Cat will add more price, if anything, or nothing.
i sell products which come in many comb, where i can have one cat, split on to many, and they split in to so many, and when the customer is ordering i want to know, specificly what they are ordering, and to price, with addtional cost, depending on the marterial they with to have.

and this can only happen if i have many sub cats in sub cats.

Even though category_id is unsigned, I think you will find that the total number of all categories and descendants is currently restricted to 4294967296 (or 2^32 +1)

You don't change any code ???

When you define a new category in Admin, you select the parent category on the data tab.

Ah, they are OPTIONS not categories/subcategories. You can only have one layer for them I'm afraid

Yeah you can

you'll need to edit the template file for the product found at

Code: Select all

/catalog/view/theme/your-theme-name/product/product.tpl
Find

Code: Select all

                        <?php if ($option_value['price']) { ?>
                        <?php echo $option_value['prefix']; ?><?php echo $option_value['price']; ?>
                        <?php } ?>
and delete it

You can't have sub Product Options but you can have as many Options as you like.

If you add a price, this price is adjusted (+ or -) from the standard product price. The adjustment is shown in the dropdown to show customers the price effect; if price is left empty, no adjustment is set and no price is shown.

Object $25 with selected options:
Colour -> Red (+$2)
Stripes -> Narrow (-$1)
Spots -> Large (+$1)
Diamonds -> Small (-$1)

Would select a Red Object with Large Spots, Narrow Stripes and Small Diamonds which, when added to the cart would have a value of $26 ($25 + $2 - $1 + $1 - $1)

Edit: Posts crossed while I was typing and falling ever further behind the conversation

Hello Again :P

Is there a way i can avoid retyping the same option over and over again, for each item?


e.g
(cat 1) Colour
(cat 2 ) - Black - £20
(cat 2 ) - Black - £20
(cat 2 ) - Black - £20
(cat 2 ) - Black - £20
(cat 2 ) - Black - £20
(cat 2 ) - Black - £20
(cat 2 ) - Black - £20
(cat 2 ) - Black - £20


Then again, i make a new item, and repect the option list again?



i have
