Ok...
This is my boss's thing, not mine. I think it's a little weird, but this is how he wants to do things.
He wants to have a write in blank on the product page... the customer fills in an offer for the product, and submits it. This doesn't process a payment, and I've already worked that part out. Just submits it to our sales team... Then we contact the customer back to negotiate the pricing/shipping/custom features/etc of the product.
Basically the idea behind the storefront is not to be a storefront entirely, but to save time for our sales team and allow them to handle larger regions by automating some of the process.
So I can add a text attribute field for pricing... and I could probably even modify that to make it a currency field without too much trouble.
But where can I edit the shopping cart code to get it to display those values and sum them up for the sub totals displayed, instead of the "min bid" value which is just going in the normal "cost" field for the product.
Any help? Or is there possibly some silent auction type mod out there that basically does this already? I kinda doubt it, but ya never know...
Thanks in advance. Best thing about open source is always the community.
