Hello,
I'm going to create a florist e-commerce website and for what I've seen so far Ubercast seems a good way to do it.
But with flowers, there are a few things that are particular, and I know I'll have to tweak Ubercart to make it fulfils my needs.
* Each product can be delivered with a card, and the user can put on it the text he wants. I saw that this can be achieved by setting a attribute without values (but it's more a side effect than a feature).
* Each product can be delivered to a specific address. I could also use a few textfield attributes.
* For each product, the user can specify a delivery date. The easiest (but ugly) way would also be a textfield attribute and use some JQuery to display a nice calendar and do validation (obviously the date should be in the futur).
What does the community thinks about this approach ... it there a better way to do this ? Has someone already thought about this. It would be very helpfull to have comments about more advanced Ubercart users.
One of my idea would be to make attributes support textfields, select or checkboxes (and ever dates). This would certainly be usefull, but I'm a little bit afraid of the work that implies. Has someone already thought about it ?
Thank you.
