Ok, we have over 600 individual products, 180+ Song Titles. each song title has several downloadable products associated with it which I am setting up as variations, 4 or 5 variations per Title = roughly 600 individual products.
I am creating an alphabetical song list, a table of nearly 200 titles. I would like the customer to click that title then display the product details (via short code?), in its fancy display, ideally in a sidebar widget or within its own column.
this is an action Similar to the “Search Add-on” e.g. If I search a specific title its variations and an add-to cart-button would be presented. However, we need to offer an INDEX of product titles (verses search) that when clicked shows the results. Link to shortcode kind of thing.
I know there is a hyperlink code available:
Which is awesome. but…
1) I’d rather not manually create hyperlinks to product pages…. and
2) I don’t fully understand how the customer is offered and then selects those variations via the hyperlink. At what point do they get the variation?
is there a working demo of this function?
Thanks.
May 9, 2014 at 3:48 am #62822adminKeymasterHi, I think you should try the following addon for what you are trying to do:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-browse-products-by-category-addon-2056
It lets your users browse all your items (by category) and then allows them to purchase it. Use it on a page and you will see how it work.
May 9, 2014 at 10:26 pm #62823dwboneMemberInteresting and useful, but I am already able to display a list of categories that takes visitor to a list of products in which ever fancy display, within that category.. not quite what I am hoping to accomplish.
I’d “simply” like to display the title of the songs in an alphabetical list/index, and when visitor clicks/selects the title, the variations and add to cart elements are shown.
the category add-on and the search add-on come close to this functionality, product details being serve upon user selection/input…
in our case we’d like the input to be a text/link which serves the product details.
really appreciate the feedback, support. love the plugin and it’s seemingly endless adaptations.
Thanks.
May 10, 2014 at 1:13 am #62824adminKeymasterokay. Some of the fancy display templates, link the title to a “Details page” (if you configure it in that product). Let me take a look at which fancy display template you are using to list/show your products. I will then be able to give you a better answer.
Can you please share the link of a page where I can go and take a look at how you have listed the products?
May 11, 2014 at 9:20 pm #62825dwboneMemberInteresting, I’ll have to check that out… though i wouldn’t want customer to goto a subpage.
Actually I got what i wanted using some hide/show div code. thanks… though I may need to revisit this as my set up won’t automatically update when a new product is added…. but for now i will work with it…
in the meantime, on to other issues in new post…
thanks.
