Re: [LUG] Any open cart Gurus on the list?

 

I would love to take this on but I'm stacked out as it is.

If a crate has to have 12 bottles in (no more, no less), then maybe having a crate as the basket item and having the bottles show up as option checkboxes. The user has to select 12 before they are allowed to add it to their basket.

It does sound like this needs to be discussed with everyone involved (off list) in how they handle these custom crates.

Thanks,
Jiminald

to see just what is needed the current W Site is
www.cornish-bottled-beer.co.uk.

There are 2 distinct parts to the Store
One which just deals with a pre-defines Case of bottles.
One which builds a case up ... then adds it to the cart as a Case.
So I feel the Data base needs altering for a Sub cart.

I suggested to have a split path on the first page either Bottles OR
Prebuilt Cases, but Ideally they wanted It all to be using just the one
Cart at the end which is tricky as you cant set a min product qty as 12
or they would need to order 12 Cases!
