I'm wondering how this cs-cart site (http://www.embroideredpoloshirts.eu/embroidered-polo-shirt-uc101-uneek-classic-polo.html) has multiple qty boxes for the different sizes/colours?
By default, cs-cart gives you the option of a combo or radio buttons when using product options. There is only ever one qty box.
I have a similar (but simpler) requirement in that I need the 'size' listed in a table, with a qty box beside each one...
I have set up a simple Product Option (Size) with some variants (Small, Med, Large, etc)...
Suggestions?
Sounds like you need to look at this mod.

I'm building a Magento Store which sells doorhandles with different sizes. There are some standard sizes for which I made simple products, connected to a configurable product. Our client also wants to give customers the option to manually fill out a size. I made a simple product with the name 'custom doorhandle' and an attribute option in the attribute 'size' which says 'Other size'.
What I want is: when a customer selects the attribute option 'Other size' an extra field shows up where they can fill out the size of their needs. How can I do this? Many thanks in advance!
I actually found a solution myself: using the SCP (simple configurable product) Plugin, you can choose to display custom options withing a simple product. So I added the custom option as a textfield where customers can fill out 'other size' manually. If people select an existing size, the custom option field is not being displayed.
We're a little bit lost between configurable products, bundled products, using custom options, etc.
I'll tell you the result we would like to obtain:
We're a USB manufacturing company. And we want to sell custom USB keys via Magento.
We have about 50 different USB models available. For each model, the customer must be able to select the desired color (won't change the price), the desired capacity (1 GB, 2GB, 4 GB, etc - this will change the price, e.g. 20, 30, 40 % more of product's price). He must also be able to select the packaging of the key (eg box, plastic bag, leather bag, etc).
We want to use tier pricing, and show the price of the keys depending on the quantity AND on the capacity he selected.
A perfect example of what we want to do is: http://wowusb.com/plastic-custom-usb-flash-drive/usb-81.html.
We've tried using the SCP extension (Single Configurable Products), but don't really understand how to use it.
We don't really need to have associated products. One product for each USB model is OK, just having options (and tier pricing) on this one, just like the shop above.
Can you guide us on how to realise this ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated !
Thanks
The Simple Configurable Products extension will work well for this sort of thing, there's typically not a whole lot of configuration (just choose what parts of the configurable product you want to update when the user selects the options). The SCP extension will help greatly when it comes to tiered pricing.
To build a configurable option for what you are looking for, first you must make product attributes (drop-down type, global scope) for each attribute. This is in Catalog -> Attributes -> Manage Attributes. You would make one each for color, storage size and packaging. For each attribute you would add the different options available.
Once those are made, make sure to add them to the Attribute Set (Catalog -> Attributes -> Manage Attribute Sets) you will be using.
Now comes the work: You'll need to make a simple product for every combination available. For each simple product, you'll need to select the specific attributes created earlier, as well as set the tiered pricing for each simple product.
A rough idea math wise: 5 colors X 5 sizes X 3 packages = 75 simple products
This can be done via csv import, so that may save you some time, although you'll have to examine how tiered pricing is structured from within an exported list and copy it exactly. By the way, I recommend setting these products visibility to "Not Visible Individually", but don't disable them.
Now you can begin to build the configurable product. Once you start creating the new product, it will ask you which attributes to use, so select the color/size/packages and whichever else you want the products to be fine-tuned by.
Enter the general product information as normal. Price doesn't matter here (SCP extension doesn't use it).
Under "Associated Products", filter the grid view to find all the simple products you have created, and begin checking them off. If a product line turns red, it means that a product has already been selected with the exact same attributes.
Once you have a configurable product listed, you can play with the SCP extension settings (System -> Configuration -> SCP Config) to have the product behave as you want. The options under the Cart heading determines what you would like to display in the cart line. The options under the Product Page heading let you determine if you would like various sections of the configurable product to update with the corresponding simple product info (description, short description, main image, gallery images and additional info box).
When the user selects the last option, the product prices will automatically update, as well as show the tiered pricing box ("Buy X for $Y each and save Z%!").
One last thing, when using the SCP extension, do NOT add any "Custom Options" to a configurable product, they must be added to the simple products associated to the configurable product instead (Other product types are fine).
Magento offers Configurable Products so that it lets buyer selects attributes for a given product, like Size for Shirt, or Color for a Phone.
Problem is, you must add each possible single combination as a simple product, and that Configurable Product works merely as a container. This is impractical for attributes with too many values, and unexpected values.
For example it does not allow text values. What if a buyer wants to print his name on a Shirt?
What if I wanted to add a selectable attribute of tens of values? It doesn't have to be a added through the admin area, hardcoded solutions are OK.
Something like Cart Item Annotation is there?
Configurable products should not be used for products that doesn't have a physical definition, for instance Drawing and Designs. Instead it's better to use Custom Options instead for these cases, where you don't care about inventory of products nor attribute based statistics. This could be done through the Custom Options tab at Manage Product screen. Surely this eliminates the need for configurable products for a variety of cases.
I’m setting up an online clothing store and have come across a huge problem:
When I make at product (a t-shirt for example), I want to be able to add the available sizes and colors, without having to create a product for every single option.
When I add a color or size, I need to be able to enter a SKU for each product, so I can tell which option the customer chose in the store. First I tried making 2 sets of attributes: “Color” and “Size”, so I could multi-select when adding a product. But the attributes didn’t show up as options in the store, as I had hoped.
I did a lot of searching, and found that some people used the “Costom Option” tab, to make fields for the available sizes, colors etc. - but I don’t want add those options every time I add a product. The multi-select feature I accomplished with the attributes, would have been perfect.
Also I found that someone was forced to pay for an extension to accomplish this - but as I am running on a very tight budget, so I really don’t want to pay anything to achieve this.
You can achieve this programmatically, observing the product save and generate all simple products of a configurable product. Unfortunately, you will have to manage stock for those items separately.
You can do this by creating a configurable products. For more information on how to create configurable products please refer to http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/tutorial-creating-a-configurable-product. You can refer to http://www.srota.co for an example.
I want to show a set of products as a table inside one product with these attributes.
Dimensions Width x Gusset x Height Code Price/Case Bags/Case Weight
So i chosen grouped product option but it does not match the requirement. How can i design a table like format from the grouped product option with radio button to choose only one product from it. So using grouped product or configurable product or by any way how can i achieve this.
Here am attaching the screen-shot which i actually wanted
I can think of two ways to represent this in code. If the dimensions tend to be from a limited set of choices, you could use a configurable product to represent this choice, simply displaying all possible sub-products in the table. This would let you reuse the existing catalog product page with a little retrofitting.
If they do not fit well, you could place the items in a category hidden from the public categories and loop through each of the products in the category to display the table. This would require more work to tie back to putting into the cart, etc.
Importantly, it looks like each of your options has an entirely uncorrelated price, so it seems to me that you need to have a simple product underpinning these options at some point. (I'm sure you could get more clever, I'm just not sure that's a good idea.)
You can easily solve this with a plugin for Magento. There is a plugin here which will do exactly what you want. It will display product options in a grid: http://www.magemechanics.com/product-grid-options.html
