Problem in Products Combinations

[tiga]

Hi,

I am using PS 1.6.0.8 and I need to solve a problem in my products combination

To help you guys understanding the problem there are 2 files attached, front office with product page, and backoffice with Product combinations.

My Store sells Freebords, a kind of Skateboard so a Complete pack includes:

1 x deck ( 5 sizes available)
1 x Wheels ( 2 options with price changing)
2 x trucks & 1 x bindings ( here there are no options)

To make this work, I've created 2 attributes:

Deck Size: 5 options (75cm, 77,80,83,85)

Wheel type: 2 options (Grengos and Da blues)

 

Problem 1# prestashop does not allow combinations in packs so I chose not to have a 'pack of existing products' and simply create Standard products. (my main concern in stock is the deck, the other items are not a problem)

 

• I've created a std product in wich you can choose the deck size and the type of wheel (one just increases 20€ in the final cost) --> 
• The problem is when I create the combinations manually first the 5 deck sizes and then the wheels, price doesn't change, and I understand why, because the combinations are separated. --> 
• When I use the combination generator, It creates one deck of each size for each type of wheel, everything works fine except this way I have double decks, so I'll have a problem in stock, and when some customer buys a specific pack it will just affect that specific stock. --> 

 

any way of solving this?

 

I hope I've been explicit, otherwise let me know.

tks in advance!

Hi Tiga,

 

Did you have a look at my module for Pack managment ?

I think it might help you.

I'm having a similar problem.  The product I have needs to be in a Product Pack with;

• varient item A, (5 color options)
• varient item B, ( 5 color options)
• varient item C.  (2 options)

I was able to get PrestaShop to allow the selection for each varient because I created attributes for the options, but the inventory side of things doesn't work out.  

 

If you find anything else about this, I'd greatly appreciate it. 

 

Thanks,
