Was this information Helpful?

Is there any way to make site users compare products across various categories at feature and price level for users?

Do we need to write custom code for this feature?

Ex: http://www.jellyfish.com/
You have 'compare' option here ....

Flag + Views

Hi Manish,

That's exactly what my latest blog post is about: http://jan.tomka.name/blog/product-comparison-drupal

You can set up a flag to mark nodes to be included in comparison and then create a couple of views to either display the list of those nodes in a block, or a page with the comparison table itself.

Hope it helps,
Jan

Re: Flag + Views

Thanks for the link. It would be great if you could export some standard views that you think will be useful to everyone, so that at some point can become a contribution module.

Done

I've added a couple of screen shots to the post and at the end of it you'll find a Features package ready for you to install and give it a try. Enjoy!

Thanks for this! Tried it

Thanks for this!

Tried it out. Even though products where included for comparison using the "Include in comparison" link on each product, for some reason it still thinks nothing was selected. Also the block reports the same i.e. "No products have been included. ..."

Am I missing something?

Re: Thanks for this! Tried it

Sorry, mate! Looks like Features is having hard time recreating Flag state. I'll try to work out where the problem could be. In the meanwhile, I've attached the exported view to the article and you'll have to create the flag manually.

Re: Re: Thanks for this! Tried it

Figured out what issue was. The installation worked ok, but I had to amend the filters for the product_comparison view to include additional node types I am using. Since I was not using the default product node... Thanks.

TAPIr is perfect for this

Since UC adopted TAPIr module (for vertical tables) any product comparison module would want to build on top of that useful module.

product price comparison module

I require similar functionality. I'd like to be able to compare identical products across multiple websites. One approach would be to have fields on the product node creation form which would be used as "meta tags" that would be queried on the competitor's website (say amazon), additionally, a field would need to be provided to link to the websites we'd like to query, extract and compare pricing.

I think AJAX would need to be use so that prices are auto updated. It would also be nice for price comparisons to display compared price ranges, ie. amazon $3-10, us $2-5 etc.
