Hi all
I have a special needing regarding a software product item to be sold by VM2 shop...
The selling schema is based on the numeric value of the machines onto which the software can be installed and used, as hereafter detailed

OPTION 1: license for a single machine = price A
OPTION 2: license from 2 to 5 machine = price B (per machine)
OPTION 3: from 6 to 10 machine = price C (per machine)
...and so on for a lot of OPTIONS

I would like to have those options listed as single radio button option list, having near each option a drop down menu (or a further radio button list) from which the customer can choose the desired machine quantity.
Yes, it seems to be a bit "complicated" way to make a product, but it will make easy for the customer to choose the right license: if the customer needs a license for 7 machines, at first check the OPTION 3 and then choose the value 7 from the dropdown menu or radius button.
The question is: is there a way (plug-in, written code, standard VM2 options) to get this working in VM2? I made an extensive research, but I can't get anything to be used for that purpose.
Is there someone that can help me to achieve this result?

Have you checked out our form integration extension? I don't believe you can do what you describe with native VM2 custom fields.

You may want to check out our extension then, because it gives you the ability to use any style of fields supported in one of the best form design components for Joomla, Breezing Forms by Crosstec.

Our Breezing Forms Custom Fields extension offers a viable approach for complex custom fields, as long as you don't need parent/child products or to track stock by each of the options. It does NOT track stock by each option selected.

This extension seamlessly integrates a completely custom Crosstec Breezing Form into the custom field area of a VirtueMart 2 product. Because BreezingForms is a fully featured form development component, this means that you can do all those great things you expect from best selling form design software (including checkboxes),  then use that form as the way to capture product options and attributes for a VM2 product.

If you think this sounds like it might help you, here's a link to our documentation to learn more: http://docs.polishedgeek.com/wiki/display/BFCUSTOM . There's a also a YouTube video there on the doc homepage that explains it a bit more.

You can learn more about the form component our extension integrates here: Crosstec BreezingForms http://crosstec.de/en/extensions/joomla-forms-download.html   (You have to have both VM2 and BreezingForms to use our extension).

The plugin has been vetted by the VirtueMart team and is available for sale on our website or here on VirtueMart.net (http://extensions.virtuemart.net/extensions-virtuemart-2/breezing-forms-custom-fields-plugin-detail)

I'm happy to answer any questions you have. Feel free to pose them in the forum here, or if you would prefer to discuss your requirements more privately, just open a ticket: https://polishedgeek.com/clients/contact.php
