Okay, I was in here a few months ago looking for a solution to my attribute troubles. I never really found a solution, so I'm back to see if anyone has any new ideas. Here's the problem.
I am building a site for contact lenses by mail order. (like 1-800-contacts) Each lens type has several required attributes, size, shape, and strength. These are absolutes for ALL lenses. Other types of lenses have other varying attributes. And, each of these attributes have a few, to hundreds of possible values. Then you times that by two eyes.
I know that I could make it so the person has to order one eye, send to shopping cart, then go back and do the other eye. That would be the easy way out. But, if you look at every other website doing what we are doing, they have it so both eyes can be done at the same time. That is what we want.
Example:
Right [BC] [Dia] [Power] [Cyl] [Axis] [Add] [Color] [Quant]
Left [BC] [Dia] [Power] [Cyl] [Axis] [Add] [Color] [Quant]
Each attribute will be a combobox(dropdown), except for the quantity. The quantity option that is already built in to ZenCart would of course be rendered useless.
Does anyone know if this can be done? Should I just hire a company to do this for us?
My company likes the temporary system I put in place, but, it isn't exactly what they are looking for. Please PM, IM, email or just reply if you have an answer. Thanks.
