Model number changes with attribute

[conradical]

I have products that each have a unique model number, say for example..

1. Rod size 1/8 and model number is RD-001
Rod size 1/16 with model number RD-002

So when a user goes to buy rods he is presented with the attributes of sie (1/8, 1/16..) and when he selects 1/16 the model number should update accordingly.

Hi conradical,

ZenCart does not do this by default, and I'm not aware of any add-ons that do it.

However, ZC was built with the ability to extend its functionality pretty easily.

In order to achieve this, I'd recommended starting here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p..._API_Tutorials

You basically need to use to the observer for NOTIFIER_CART_ADD_CART_START and have your script check to see which attribute was selected for the product currently being added. Then you can just modify the model number appropriately.

I would be very interested in finding a solution for this. Each attribute creates in fact a different product that must have a different model number and that model number should be shown in invoices, orders and even email order confirmation.
