Dynamic Kit

[cgreathouse]

Hello

I'm looking for a way to make kits dynamic. Based on what's selected in a kit's component (Radio Buttons) I need to have components be added or removed.

For example, ComponentA has 3 radio buttons (Option1, Option2, Option3). If Option1 is selected I need ComponentB and ComponentC visible. If Option2 is selected I need ComponentD visible. If Option3 I need ComponentC, ComponentE, ComponentF, ComponentG and ComponentH visible.

Any pointers on how to do this?

Thanks!

Its possible with the product options but not with kits out of the box, have a look at the following post

Can be done with a bit of custom programming and some creativity with how you structure categories and products of this type... (for instance, if you have an Option A product that should include certain kit items, you could then also have a directory called Option A that would include all the kit items that should be offered). After that, you could just create a custom product page that would create the proper options accordingly. Not a super easy task, but it does work.

How about product templates? The reason I'm looking at product templates is because they provide a way to have text boxes to get input from a user.

So right now I have a template that has 3 radio options and 5 text boxes. Is it possible to have the text boxes made visible/invisible depending on what radio option is selected?

Example:

Radio1 : Text1 & Text5 visible
Radio2 : Text2 & Text4 & Text5 visible
Radio3 : Text1 & Text3 & Text4 visible

If it is possible, can you point me at what source file(s) need updated?

Thanks!
