Quoc Huy Nguyen Dinh	Thursday 19 May 2011 8:40:03 am Hi Being not familiar with the shop extension, I was wondering if this is possible. Let say the shop is selling services not real products. There would be no object of type 'Product' in the CMS. But there is a form where you ask several things and depending on what the user is choosing in the form, the script would generate multiple fields: name of service, options, info about the user, info about the user related to the service, price etc... and push that virtual product in the basket. Cheers

Quoc Huy Nguyen Dinh	Friday 20 May 2011 6:28:44 am The idea is to sell courses then ask questions such as: how many people attending name, firstname, age of each attendants and other stuffs But that would also be good for selling custom stickers for example where the text on the sticker is user input. So it would be a product with information collection. That's why It thought of collecting the infos and make then product. I have'nt had the change yet to dig in the shop's code but maybe putting a product in the basket and then creates the order is just a matter of filling in the fields based on the product fields' value. Or are entries in basket and entries in order tightly bound to the product object itself.
