Hello all,

I am pretty new to Drupal and Ubercart, and really looked around on the Ubercart site, but did not find this.

What i want to do is to create some highly configurable product, say a product-on-demand. At the moment I have a dozen-or-so attributes, some basic some not.

I figured, that the way I need it, with dependencies between the different configuration options seems not to be possible out of the box.

Hence, I created a generic 'plain' product and wanted to do the configuration staff and price determination on my own. I am able to transfer determined price thanks to module custom price (though, I did not figured out, how I suppress the $0,00 on the product detail display, as the generic product has no price)

My PROBLEM is, that I fail to transfer the configuration identificator -- the single most important thing.

I tried to create an attribute - text field, with the idea to manipulate it during price transfer. (does not work). What works is using module cart links to add the product with a link instead a button (I dont care), BUT the text field attribute seems to be restricted to an integer number if I use it this way.

Tried to transfer text, longer number sequences, dot-seperated ids, it just takes numbers for me. Also, if I use the text field as a 'customer' check availability only reacts, if I enter a number only into the field.

The solution I see, is to interpret each option as number and transfer 'a-dozen-or-so'-attributes.

But I would surely prefer to have just one attribute with just an id, telling me, whats going. Or maybe two attributes (id with mchine config, description for the customer in the cart to identify the product; but just texts with something generic).

Please help me out with this, if and how transferring and own misc value/id might be possible.

Thank you!

Regards,
Thomas.
