Title: Custom Fields for customer input
Post by: nickwiebe on February 20, 2014, 23:05:05 PM
I would like to create a custom field that allows the shopper to either type in the 5 products they want in an empty, editable textarea or I need a list were they can select multiple items.  This needs to be a cart varient.  I have a list of products and the customer has to choose 5...any ideas on how to make something like this work?

thanks,  Nick :o

Hi Nick
I'm pretty sure this isn't possible using the initial setup.

You could try this: http://extensions.virtuemart.net/products/custom-size-detail

Demo: http://istraxx.com/index.php/showcases/showcase-custom-length-detail

Granted it is not designed for what you want; but, maybe the functionality it will give you could give you a workaround to what you want to achieve - in theory by adding in 5 separate ones of these.
