Adding Several Products to the cart at 1 time.

[Mike]

I have a form that I'm processing on my site with a option box where a
customer cna choose multiple items. Though I am having a hard time getting
all the items into the shopping cart at the same time.

Any help?


Mike

P.S. I do not wish to purchase any add on products, I can do any coding
needed myself.

yes I have and I can't use check boxes. I'm using select boxes.

On this page i'm using multiple forms to add all the products... however
this isn't working on all computers. A freind of mine told me I could use
document.forms[0].sku[0].value to update the values in javascript... but the
shopping cart cgi isn't liking it.

HELP!!!!!

I just went to your site and I don't think that you will be able to do
what you want to. You are trying to create a mix of different products
making a total of 1 lb. But all the items you are adding to the mix
have different prices so the total for 1 lb would vary. ShopSite does
not have variable price items so even if you could get the items into
the cart where would you get the price? The only way I can see that you
might do something like this is to allow the shopper to add the various
items in the quantity they want but have each item individually in the
cart. If you create a product called Mixed Nuts and assign each of your
other products to that item as subproducts when the item is added to the
cart it will have the name Peanut 1/4 pound:Mixed Nuts. So you would be
able to tell that the item was to go into a Mix rather than be sent
separately. You wouldn't be able to control that each order of mixed
nuts was just 1 lb.

Another way you might be able to do something similar is using the
OrderOptions. Create a Mixed Nut product with 4 OrderOption dropdown
lists containing the the types of nuts. Each entry in the dropdown would
be for a 1/4 lb amount of the each type of nut. The price for the nuts
could vary using OrderOption Pricing since you have a Pro store. The
shopper would then select one option from each dropdown to create their
1 lb mix.

That last idea of yours was a good one. I almost like it better then the
way I got it to work.

If you visit the site now it is pretty much fully up and running. We're
looking to go live this weekend maybe. I solved the problem using
javascript and the database item number. With it you can add multiple
products with one submit. I created different priced items in shopsite, so
almost every product has 3 duplicates of varying price. Then I created 1
"Custom Mix" item which I use for the 1lb shipping weight and all others
have 0 weight. You'll see some neat cool stuff if you visit the site. i'm
more then willing to share my javascripts with anyone who is interested.
