Can this be done.. Attributes / Product line ?

[monkeyboy68]

Hi All,
So most of our products are in a product line, meaning they look the same but build on features and price. I am wondering if its possible for zen cart to build product pages that look like this..

http://www.meltontackle.com/products...gra-reels.html

One set of product images, a table with the different options, prices and quantity boxes...

Is this possible with zen cart's current feature set, or would this be a hack or module...

If someone can point me in the right direction, that would be great...

thanks,
Paul

It would certainly require some customisation since some of the data fields are product specific. But in essence that's just a special arrangement of the product listing page for a category, as that page already has a multi-add function.

Thanks for your reply... Can you explain the above quote a little better... Does zen cart have a multi-add function? Or are you talking about their software?

thanks

The Zen Cart product listing page (which is what Kuroi is talking about) has an admin option to allow quantity boxes for each product with one "add selected items to cart" button at top and/or bottom of the page, just like your example.

The detailed product property fields would need to be custom-added to the page, but mostly it would be rearranging the template to get the layout and functionality you show.

You should do a test installation of Zen Cart with its demo products to see the capabilities for yourself. There are live demo templates you can see at (sorry, site offline).

So I was hoping to achieve this on the product_info page and not the index (categories) page... Basically have the product line as the "product" and then append the "product options" below with multiple quantity boxes... The appended "product options" would really be other products that dont actually have a product_info page... make sense?

I am assuming this will be a big undertaking...

You assume correctly :)
