Mutually Exclusive Products - How To?

[Ajeh]

Can you make a Product for:

Show: Fantasia

Ticket Type:
Seminar & Show $125.00
Admission Only $25.00

I realize I can but I really want to make this 'idiot-proof' and not allow a customer to put product B in if product A is in the cart. If it could display a little warning message upon such attempt - that would be the best!

Thanks for replying Linda!

That was why I was wondering if the Product were the same product with attributes controlling the type of ticket if that might not help prevent unintentional or mistaken orders of both the Seminar & Show vs Admission only as it would be for the same event ...

I understand what you're trying to say - the only problem is that there will be mutliple seminars throughout the show and people might get confused. It looks like I'll have to do some hacking or (worst case) duplicate the whole cart.

Thanks anyways!

You could get tricky and build a database of products to look up and see what products cannot be purchased together and incorporate that into a stop on the order ... before checkout can occure ...
