I am working on a site with subscriptions using authorize arb, recurring billing and ubercart roles. I would like to treat the subscriptions as levels within a group, I can't find a way of grouping products other than a product kit which isn't what I want. I want to force the user to choose a level.

Re: Is there a way to group products together and make you choos
I'm not using ubercart 1.x so this may be different.
But with Ubercart 2.x you can do this all under one product using attributes and features.
* Set an attribute for Levels and add (gold, silver, bronze or whatever...) then,
* under the products add the attribute and configure different sku for each option
* then under features for each sku set different recurring fees/roles or what every is different between your levels.

darn well i don't have access to 2x as I'm still in drupal 5. im going to have to do something different i suppose.
i started development on this big site months ago before i was real comfortable with d6, so I opted for 5 so now I'm kind of stuck.
Re: Re: Re: Is there a way to group products together and make y
Attributes work the same way for ubercart 1.x, so even if you're on d5, that shouldn't be an issue. The only issue would be handling what happens when someone purchases one of the subscription levels -- assuming that it's going to affect their access to the site in some way. Should still be doable, but might not be the best option in that case.
Re: Is there a way to group products together and make you choos
I want to do type of thing, "product collections", but the attributes feature will not work for me. The way attributes works for differently priced items is it shows the additional cost for each item. I'd like it to show the actual cost of each item, plus an option to purchase the entire "collection". Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Re: Re: Is there a way to group products together and make you c
I haven't played with attributes in a while, but I'm pretty certain you can set it up to display total price for each attribute, rather than the amount each attribute adds to the price. (EDIT: Yes, the setting is at admin/store/settings/attributes)
In your case, you might be better off setting each collection up as a product kit, and then building multi-add forms (as explained here) that contain each individual item and the product kit, so users can select any part of the collection, or buy the whole collection.
OR add an additional attribute that is the price for the whole "collection"

thankyou, yes, it seems like product kits are the way to go. I also posted on stackoverflow and got some helpful feedback: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1827104/how-does-one-create-product-c...
