Variable Item Amount

[Guest markcausa]

A non profit I am working with needs a visitor to be able to enter any amount to donate.

I've created an item named "Monetary Donation" but need some help making it so the visitor can put in any amount as the item's "cost."

Any ideas?

Why not do a dropdown for $10, $20, etc.... ? Would be easier.

They want people to be able to key in any amount, like $10 or $20000

Any ideas?

Well, theorettically, you could do a special item that writes to the price field, but I don't know the specifics. Don't think you can do it as a standard product - perhaps code it and link to it separately?

This is the problem:

<form action="/index.php?act=viewProd&amp;productId=4" method="post" name="addtobasket" target="_self">

and

<input name="add" value="4" type="hidden">

It adds up the price through the data base, so there's no form or anything I can code up.

perhaps code it and link to it separately?

Looks like the only option

I appreciate the responses though. Thank you guys very much! :)

Originally, I had thought to just replace the Select form element of a product's options with a Textfield, but CC records these options in the basket as an ID code to a list of previously created option assignments. So that idea won't work. It seems that a user-enterable amount would require a full-blown mod. Take a look over at CubeCartForums.org to see what's available.

Ok, it would also need PHP sanitation which is kind of a tall order.
