Was this information Helpful?

Hi all,

I need some opinions on how to approach a certain issue.

I've talked to create some non-standard product forms - you know, the usual, an exact copy of a paper based form.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm trying to achieve.
http://blog.cycletraffic.com/extra/product.jpg

It doesn't quite fit the normal product offering.

I don't think 'attributes' could help, as each 'attribute' needs its own quantity - I don't think that could be done.

'Product kits' comes pretty close - maybe it can do it, but I can't quite get there.
I need each item in the 'kit' to have a customisable quantity[ which defeats the purpose of a 'kit' but there you go:-) ]

I think I have two options
1. Custom products
Are there any examples or documentation on this?

2. Custom forms.
In this case, each line item in the example would be a separate product.
I would build a custom form that lists them together,
and makes if possible to adding them together to the cart.
Not sure how I'd go about that, any pointers useful.

Of course, I might be missing an obvious simple way - shine a light Smiling

Regards
Alan

Re: Developing a custom product page

Not a very clean solution, but it will do what you want: http://www.ubercart.org/contrib/4937

Thanks TR.
I'm on D6, so it won't work 'out of the box', but its the start I needed!
