Alright so im testing this shopping cart which you can view here - http://www.madonnadownload.com/famousam … /index.php

I want to add sub items to some main items, like:

if someone wants to order lets say Cheese Pizza, i want them to see more toppings inside the item's page and the option to add more toppings and price them ino the total fee for teh item.

So let's say the pizza is $10, inside it's page they can add more topping for an extra $1 each.

I see an option to add sub items - but how do i prie them?

Please Help

Love the Cart though

Hi Mike,

The cart doesn't have the capability to add extras with a price. The options only add to the selection, but don't add any extra dollars for that option.

You would need to add a separate product for your additional toppings if they are a different price.

Thanks lasercrow

Thats bads news for me
i have to figure out a way on how to do it
i can add a topping section however it will not link itself with any specific item, and if someone wants to order 2 pies with different toppings there is no way to go about doing it.

Plus

do you know if theres a way to let people add comments on each item while ordering?

I thin Coffeecup guys need to make a note of this for their next version,cuz with a few more aditions they have themselves the perfect and most easy shopping cart creator ever!!

Thanks again for your reply!!

Mike, couldn't you list a sausage as one item, sausage with bacon for a dollar more, sausage with peppers for a dollar more, etc.? You might end up with many sausage items, but it is a way around the limitation.

Or you could use a form for the added ingredients. Have a sausage for five dollars, then add an item that gives a choice of one of ten different toppings for six dollars. Add an item with a choice of any two of ten different toppings for seven dollars, etc. The form needs to be submitted before the user clicks on the add to cart, then a redirect to what I am calling a landing page for my implementation. The landing page has a return to cart button which uses the same code (I think) as clicking on the back button of the browser with the same result. Back to the page in the cart that the user was just on to finish the order.

Comments can be added using a form in the long description. I use Coffeecup's Form Builder, but you could use any program to create a form. Or use html to write a form. However you get the html, you need to use the "HTML" button on the toolbar above the long description entry box. You would need to have the form submitted with the fields that you need.

Just some ideas...

Thanks again

where can i find more info on what you call "long description"
i have CC's Form Builder - how do i go about adding it to the submition of the shopping cart, like how do i add a form where a person can add comments to a cpecific item's order?

love your inpout!!

Mike, the long description in Shopping Cart Creator can be found by selecting an item in a group and then either double clicking the item or clicking on the Item Detail tab found at the top under the search field and next to the Item List tab.

Create a form in Form Builder as usual, paste the resulting code in the HTML box that displays after clicking the HTML button, and make sure that the files that FB creates are in the same directory as your cart/shop.

You can have a standard description first about the item, then a sentence or two on what the user needs to do, i.e., fill out the form, submit, and return to complete the order, and then you could have additional text after the form.

amazing
thank you very much!!!

Mike, the Coffeecup tech people recommend putting the forms on a webpage, then using the form redirect to the specific item in the cart instead of the way I suggested.

I'm having an issue with the form "floating" above the picture in the cart so I may use their suggestion.

The redirect to a landing page is an extra step that could be eliminated by putting the form on a webpage. Hope this helps.
