Same product, different spin

[jezzerdilla]

Hi,

 

I have a requirement for my site.  The shop sells wallpaper murals in meters squared using a module supplied by PS and More.  This all works lovely, I've done quite alot of template and design work.  My problem now is I've just been informed the shop will be selling canvases and posters.

 

These are subtly different to the wallpaper product, but share the same foundation, the image.

 

This is how I'd like it to work:

 

If the user chooses wallpaper they can enter the height and width,  additionally, if they choose canvas or poster, they will be able to select one of three fixed sizes, lets say small, medium or large.

 

I've been told I can accomplish this using combinations. but for the life of me, cant achieve the result

 

Any help or a good steer would be appreciated.

At first glance you can create all combinations and in the product page with some coding (javascript) you should control which are, or not visible (that is, for example if the user selects canvas the fields for m2 disappear).

 

You'll need to take into account the module for m2 as well.

Thank you for engaging with me on this thread

 

I am a 20+ years c/java developer so no problem on the javascript side and figured thats what I'd do to show/hide things... 

 

Prestashop combinations however, seem to only either increase or decrease the base unit price...  These will be fixed price.

 

I know I'm in the right area and your reply has confirmed that...  I'll have a further scratch of head later!

 

Many thanks again

If you use the edit function on each combo, there is an option to set base price, you need to save product after each chagne.

But from combinations generator that is not possible.
