How to add sizes to a product in Virtuemart 2

(1/3) > >>

I have looked but cant seem to find the easy answer.

I have a product, in this example a Canvas artwork. I have created the product and allocated it to a category.

What i need to do now is allow the customer to choose what size canvas they want and add it to the cart with the relevant price.

How do you do this? Ive looked at custom fields but not sure what to do

Can someone help?

itye2012:
surely there must be a way to do this?

mowgs:
Are the lengths going to be set?

i.e. the customer has a choice of say, 50cm, 100cm, 150cm

or are they figures that the customer inputs?

hello, i would do it using custom fields one of two ways.

if you need to do it height and width.

1. goto virtumart on your admin panel, custom fields, click the new button.
it will then ask you some questions, select the following:

Custom Field Type: Cart Variant
title: width
make sure publish is set to yes
Cart Attribute: yes
all rest leave.
click save.
do same but title: height

2.
Custom Field Type: Cart Variant
title: size or dimensions
make sure publish is set to yes
Cart Attribute: yes
all rest leave.
click save.

once you have done 1 or 2

go to products and find the product you want to add these options to and click the title of it.
click on custom fields, look down the page until you see, Custom Field Type. Click the dropdown menu and select the name of the custom field title you gave above.
you will then see it adds the title for selected custom field title, there is also a value and price box in there, you need to fill out value with the size e.g. 20cm x 30cm (depending on if you did 1 or 2 above) and fill out price per size, if there isnt one and you dont want the no additional charge coming up, delete anything in the price box so its empty. do same for all options you want, then click save at top.

hope this helps and let me know if its not how you want to do it and how you got on.
