Ok thanks a lot!

Hi Derek,

This is covered in the FAQ (http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-e-commerce-simple-product-options/faq/). Short answer: No.

If I had a pizza website

Pizza base price $18.00
Flat rate shipping $5.00

Toppings
Mushrooms .50
Bacon 1.00
Steak 4.00
+13 other toppings

Can the WP e-Commerce Simple Product Options plugin accommodate this?
And how?

I don’t sell pizzas but the example is better 🙂

Thanks Derek
Derek

Hi,

That’s not something that the plugin supports out of the box, you’d need to customise it to do that – check out the code in simple-product-options-frontend.php around line 192.

Thank you!

As per the previous reply – the point of this plugin is to allow you to select from pre-selected options. If you want the user to enter text you’re better off looking at this: http://www.derekweathersbee.com/products/wpec-personalize

Is there any chance of combining the options? I sell sports apparel and custom names/numbers are a must – could there be a plug-in the accepts a data type with each option? IE a drop-down for simple choices but text/numeric fields as well?

First, thanks for the plugin, very handy and I plan to donate.

My question and/or problem statement: I am doing a site where a user will need to input values for 5 options on the single product page before adding to cart (think tailored dress shirt: neck, chest, length, etc.) but the ranges are so big that drop-downs don’t really make sense. So I need input fields where the customer types a value.

Your plugin is built around drop-downs. Any easy way to change the input to simple text fields? If no, any recommendations on other plugins/solutions?

Much thanks for any input.

Cheers, Davin

Hi,

The options are just stored as WordPress taxonomy terms, so any solution that allows you to bulk import those should do the job. I’ve not come across one myself, but pretty sure there’ll be one somewhere – seems like a fairly standard requirement.

Regarding your second point – the plugin doesn’t support hierarchical options as you described.
