Was this information Helpful?

Hey there,

I'm working on site that seems to require some unusual customizations of the ubercart modules. I'm wonder if you have any tips about any of these questions.

1. My client is looking to give customers the ability to, from their order history, resubmit their order as a new order. So in effect, reordering the same products.

2. My client's products are free and they'd rather not see or even deal with pricing even if it is $0.00. Is there any way to eliminate the price altogether? I can do it in the Product view, but how bout in the cart, order invoice, etc.

3. My client has one line of products that is basically a series of brochure templates. Their intention is to build a flash tool where the customer can select a template, some images for the template, some predetermined copy for the brochure, and maybe a color. In the end, the flash unit would basically have a list of choices the customer made. Ideally, those choices could populate an item in the customer's cart.

I was thinking of using the Services module and creating a custom service so that flash can create new product nodes. Each choice the customer makes in the flash tool would show up as an attribute for the product. Each template would be its own product. That would work, but then a new product would be added to the store that all the other customers can see. Since this is more of a one off thing, is there a work around where I can added an object to the cart and not have it be a product in the store? Or, is there a way to somehow limit a products visibility by customer?

Thanks,
Howie

Regarding the Flash portion...

I think you're on the right track with the Flash stuff -- I'm doing something not-too-disimilar.

For my case, I'm pre-defining products with various attributes so they'll exist and Flash only has to pass along the customer choices as part of the Add to Cart code (at least, that's the plan).

Here's some links that I've been referring to for this integration:
