Kit building - dynamic changes

Post by Ian R » Thu Aug 14, 2008 6:43 am

Hi,

I'm trying to build kits for our products that give options for

Size - Small* default, Medium, Large
Mounts - No Mount* default, Small, Medium, Large
Frames - No Frame* default, Small, Medium, Large

The second 2 options are dependant on the first. I can build a kit that has all the options available but if you choose a "small" image we don't want to show the options for "medium mount" "large mount" "medium frame" "large frame". Is there any simple way of achieving this?

Have a look at the App_Code/ProductHelper.cs class. This class contains the method lik
BuildKitOptions which adds the controls to the product page. This may help you with your custom job

Thanks I'll have a look - sounds like it's going to have to be a code solution rather than configuration?

There's a thread going about this that you might want to monitor.

Here is the demo link
http://demo.ablecommerce.com/ac7_stable ... 26683.aspx

In order to do this first create options and create variants then go and enable the Inventory Tracking at variant level from product details. Then mark some product variant unavailable depending upon how you want to show the drop down selection. Something as below
