Hi folks,
A while back (couple years now?), we had a discussion about
implementing Product options in a shopping cart -- as opposed to
subclassing to more specific product object types. I've finally got a
moment to implement this in my project, but am having a slight
difficulty in conceptualizing in how I want to do this in WO. As it
stands, my model is as follows: Product has ProductOptions (color,
size,etc.) each of which have ProductOptionItems ("black", "white",
"Small", "Large", etc.). When a Product is selected in from the
Catalog, the user is taken to a page to enter the quantity and
configure options of a ProductSale. Each selected ProductOptionItem
should be added to the ProductSale with a many-to-many. My concern is
how to implement the interface to properly achieve this. Right now,
the ProductSale configuration page has an iteration of each per-
product option and a popup of the related option items. How could I
arrange these pieces so that the selection of the popup item adds it
to the respective many-to-many? As a side note, I'm a little concerned
about the circularity of my data model, but that's not really WO
related.
any thoughts?
thanks,
Jaime
