I was told in my previous post that what I'm looking for is probably going to cost me so I thought I'd post it here to see what kind of price ranges I'd be looking at if I wanted to get this done. So here is what I'm looking for:

I have several closely related products that, if all purchased together make up a 'kit'. Is there a simple way to offer a single item that, when added to a cart, actually adds all the different items? So you click on 'Add to Cart' on this one item but when looking at your shopping cart you actually have 5 or 10 different items added?

I know I could create a single item with the higher price, but I like the feel of having many things in your cart instead of just this one item.

Further, (and maybe I'm stretching things now) if they use that '1' item to add everything, the system might be able to auto-add an otherwise unknown coupon?

I guess what I need is a seperate script that goes through and adds each of the individual related products and then adds the coupon (or provides it for them to add). I'm afraid I just don't know php or SQL anywhere near well enough to even attempt this one.

I'm interested in some quotes on pricing and timing.

Could you not add in the product description "This product is available as part of a kit" and link to the kit?

Not sure about the coupon - you could always email them after purchase with a coupon code.

Sorry if that's not much help - I always try to find the simplest way to do something.

I've thought about a lot of ways of doing it, and yes - I could do it. But I was just wondering if anyone had done anything like this before.

In the end, the link to the kit - with a discounted price will be my best bet unless someone can come up with something.

If any single item can be included in ONLY ONE "kit" then there no problems to do this.

But if some single item can be a part of a several "kits" ?
Then I have no any solutions (for now)...

umm...
Think I was thinking about something different from the topic :D
Is there a simple way to offer a single item that, when added to a cart, actually adds all the different items? So you click on 'Add to Cart' on this one item but when looking at your shopping cart you actually have 5 or 10 different items added?
Not sure if it is a "simple" way, but it can be done in a day or few :)
Further, (and maybe I'm stretching things now) if they use that '1' item to add everything, the system might be able to auto-add an otherwise unknown coupon?
Some discount (plain or in % or both) can be added through the module-settings to each "kit".

BUT
here is a question(s), related to the coupons, discounts (and so on) for "kits", I have no answer(s) on:
how should this module act if some single items (related to some "kit") will be removed from cart?
or added twice...?

As for the cost - not even thought about it.

So I just wrote up a pretty long explanation of what I "need" this to do and realize that it is so terribly unique to my situation that now I'm thinking it may be way more work than I first imagined.

So - to those who have thought through this and started to formulate some kind of a plan, thank you - but I think I better spend a lot more time developing my 'design requirements' before I try and get an answer. You are all still welcome to submit ideas and concepts, but I'm still working on my end to figure out exactly what I'm looking for.

Something like this: http://dbstr.eu/oc1491/index.php?route= ... duct_id=42?

It's not really adding multiple items to the cart, but other than that it allows you to make bundles.

That is one hell of a mod!

Ya Know - I used to fancy myself a fairly savvy web searcher - find what I need, but I swear - I searched and searched and read and read and never found that thread (or the other in the last one I was scolded for). Perhaps I'm just not yet 'proficient' in opencart forum search abilities. I need to work on that.

I think the 'bundle' concept might be what I'm looking for - but again - I need to be sure I know exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for this info - I'll continue to research.

This works rather nicely as far as the customer is concerned - but how is it set up by the storeowner - are these set up as additional 'bundle' products, with options for all the possible items in the bundle? Does this have the problem that the individual stock levels are not correctly updated as a result from the sale ?

thanks for any insights.
