vidmarc Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Is this possible with Cubecart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Yes and No. With some edits to the code and database, we can make CC5 do fractional quantities. In a bug report about this, Devellion has said they will keep CubeCart at whole number quantities.

vidmarc Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Thanks again for your help. Another friend of mine is looking at moving their fabric store to CC. I guess fabric could be offered in varying lengths via a drop-down option like the t-shirt sizes we discussed the other day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 The dropdown is do-able. But the range of lengths would either require a large number of options, or a somewhat limited selection of lengths. There might be a problem with whole unit quantities, then adding optional fractional lengths, as each fractional length would be multiplied by the whole unit quantity: 3 @ 1-meter = 3 meter length 3 @ 0.5 meter option = 1.5 meter option additional length As yet, there is no quantity on options: 1 @ 1-meter 5 @ 0.1 meter option additional length So you would have to have an option drop-down with limited additional lengths (not that such limited options would be a bad thing).

Toucan Web Design Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Would it not be possible to use the stock level as the amount of fabric, and just use centimetres for it instead of metres? That way you don't have to worry about the fractional issue. You'd still probably need a little modification to lock the quantity input into certain bands of length though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidmarc Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Yes, that's what I thought too, but it means people only ordering whole metres etc with no fractions of. I would hope that this can be rectified in future Cubecart releases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 If I read TWD correctly, a customer would buy the product selecting a quantity of 125 (in cm) -- for an effective total of 1.25 meters. I would look at finding a mod to enact a limit on a minimum purchase however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidmarc Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 The minimum would most likely be a metre of fabric. Their current site has a drop-down length selector, from 1m to 1m, in half a metre increments. If I knew this was possible with Cubecart it would solve a lot of headaches.

vidmarc Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 It's looking like choice of either Wordpress or Cubecart - if we can find a way for CC to sell fabric then it's all go. Preferably not with a drop-down menu. Anyone? A plugin perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Sounds like it's time to ask on the 3rd party forum for paid help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidmarc Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 If I know for sure it's something that we can get done in advance it would help immensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Web Design Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 It'd be pretty easy to use centimetres as the stock, Brian was correct in how I was meaning, yes. All you'd need to run it then would be a quick mod to display the quantity field as a drop down box with options from 1m to (max stock), going up in half metres. That said, if you're going up in half metres, I'd probably set that as what 1 stock means. Generally you always just want to use your lowest increment as the stock level and work back from there. But as they say, you'd have to ask for that on the 3rd party site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkessler91 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I run a fabric store with CC, I hired SemperFi (www.semperfiwebservices.com) to make the fraction modification for CCv5 Works perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I have discovered that there are payment gateways that allow for the inclusion of the list of products sold. But the format of that list item limits quantity to an integer. Specifically, (currently in development) the Secure Hosting and Payments Company (well known in England, or so they say, part of the Universal Payment Gateway plc), the format requires an integer.
