Customer-entered Product Option?

Friday 20 October 2006 6:57:49 am

Client is using the Web shop. They have some products that customers can have engraved, so they need to capture what text the client wants on the product.

So, we essentially need a free-form product option -- a text field into which the customer can enter information, and this is stored with the product for that customer.

Has anyone ever done this?

I asked this question here about a year ago and did not find any solution yet. As a workaround, we are asking people to enter the custom text into the order comments.

Andy,

There have been many conversations surrounding the topic of shop module and product options,

I would very much recommend reading, almost all of it, twice :\

A problem that others may not consider is that all of the perception of problems is merely an illusion by a lack of understanding of the many ways available to account for your needs ... and quickly it all boils down to the <i>how</i> you really want to go about attempting to solve this to meet your own base needs because while I would recommend using the 'creating a custom content object based on selections from user and allowing the user to checkout this customer product...method' yet you may not be ready to tackle this on your own, you may prefer to hack a bit of the kernel instead or something else completely.

In looking back the most successful unique threads which share the most background in how they want to solve the problem, their background..
