Was this information Helpful?

I want to use a form to create a dynamic product kit.
I'll use the webform module which let you create a node that is a form.
It let you decide how many times a user is allowed to use a specific webform.
It also let you add php code for validation and processing.
In the near future it will support dynamic select options.

When a user will submit the form I'll update the cart with the chosen products.

I think that this could make ubercart ultimatly modular because you'll be able to build any form with any combination of products on the fly.

In my case I'll use it to present the menu of the week of a resturant.
one webform will show a form with all the products in the menu with check boxes normal size and child size.
A second webform will show a form for dynamic product kit - a meal with options for a main dish and desert. The price will be lower then in the previous form.
A third webform will be identical to the previous one only for child meal with half the portion and a different price.

The store admin will put a taxonomy term "active menu" or with a date "1.3.08" and the webforms will intelligently show thous products in a list for each week. That simple Smiling

I want to start and work on this baby but I need your help.
Could you direct me to the functions I need to call in order to create a product kit dynamically and populate the cart with it?

Thanks

Good idea but...

I can't tell for sure, but a dynamic product kit seems pretty much equivalent to a cart.

Unless you're speaking of creating the kit in a more sexy way... perhaps so that some kind of user can create a kit that others could buy.

Dynamically assemble kit with limitation

I need similar functionality, with the following requirements:
1 - Establish a price for the kit.
2 - To establish that the kit consists of two or three elements (variable).
3 - Assemble the kit with selected products.

To be more clear, I sell a pack of cards, which can be comprised of two designs, which can be selected from a catalog.

Thank you very much, I hope someone can guide me.

That sounds like the normal product kit that comes with Ubercart

tax prob with kit

hi josh,

I just can not figuere out what I am doing wrong with my ubercart setup.
whatever I try

* VAT is not substratcted from product kits in the cart
* when I enter a price (incl. taxes - as it is configured allover the site) it adds tax on top of it resulting in a double taxed and thus wrong price.

Hope you can help me mate. several previous post all over reuslted in nothing.

is there a fix to it that you know of or a workaround via conditional operations?

thnx mate.
