Jo B Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hi, I'm new to the forum, I'm sorry if this question has been asked many times before, but I have scoured the net and have found nothing that helps. I was wondering if there was a way of adding product options, say Colours- Black and Blue, and then giving them an attribute, such as Small or Medium, but only making Black available in Small whilst making Blue available in both small and medium. I have many products that are the same but some are only available with certain options, and the customer needs to be aware that they are choosing, so option sets are of no use. As it stands I've had to duplicate products, which is ok, but not ideal. If there is no way of doing this is there a plugin I could use? Thank you in advance.

bsmither Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Welcome Jo B! Glad to see you made it to the forums. CubeCart 5 uses a feature called an Options Matrix. For any product, once options are assigned, there should be displayed a second table with every combination of options. In this matrix table, you can enable/disable any particular combination. However, CubeCart is not yet sophisticated enough to dynamically update the option pickers on the View Product storefront page. That is, CubeCart will display all choices for Size and all choices for Color, and only warn the customer if a particular combination is not available when attempting to add it to the cart. I have occasionally been working on a mod that when any one option has been chosen, an ajax call to the store would fetch an updated list of choices for the other options.

Jo B Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Unfortunately we don't use stock levels as we are able to get produce as and when it's needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 You are saying that for Black-Medium, setting the stock level to zero and setting Use Stock Level to 'enable' while keeping the Use Stock Level to disabled for all real combinations won't work?

Jo B Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Because we don't hold stock if we leave the stock option enabled, but don't put in an amount, it won't allow customers to select the option anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
