Hello -

Do you need to keep stock by each combination of size and color? If not, you can avoid child products by using another extension that gives you a lot more flexibility by building your custom fields in a form. But that approach does not handle stock by each option. So let me know if that might work for you and I'll post more details. :)

If you find you can't do what you want natively in VM2, like make a custom field required, make two or more fields dependent upon each other, charge a fee by date field, or any other advanced custom field requirement, take a look at our extension. 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 advanced custom fields, as long as you don't need parent/child products or to track stock by each of the options. As mentioned before, it does NOT track stock by each option selected, so we like to make that clear.

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,  then use that form as the way to capture product options and attributes for a VM2 product.

Our product supports price adjustments + or -, price overrides with =, and also complex pricing structures where a price override that is set via the form can also have + or - adjustments with subsequent form fields.

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.

By the way, we now have a parameter option that allows you to skip the interim review page described in the video and have the customer select their options and immediately Add to Cart.

We also have a basic demo site set up that illustrates how this works: http://klarna.polishedgeekdev.com/index.php/shop/eyeglasses/awesome-eyeglasses-detail (If you choose Bifocal or Progressive in the first field, you will see an additional field show up that is required only for that type.)

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 directly 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

Hope this will be useful to you!

Pls correct me if I'm wrong .

But with this BFORM plugin it's only supported up to 10 forms to include. So that mean that I can only use 10 diff forms .
And here I see a problem .
How I could have different prices of 90 products only with 10 forms ?
And to remind those prices are not linear like for this shirt just add on every combination 2$ and that's it . So that I could use only one form just to adjust. price with + or -

first shirt
  color:
      RED
          - size L 15
         - size XL 17
         - size XXL 20
      WHITE
          - L    11
          -XL 15
         - XXL 17

sec.shirt
       RED
          - size L 13
         - size XL 16
         - size XXL 17
      WHITE
          - L    10
          -XL 13
         - XXL 15

Ah, yes, that can be a challenge. Sorry that I missed that you might need more forms than currently supported.

There are a few ways around that:

1) Creative programming of the form so it will display different options for different products, in the same form, using database lookups in Crosstec Breezing Forms.  This takes a lot longer to develop (and more technical skill to achieve), but is very maintainable long term as your needs change. Just update the database and viola! Every affected product is updated. 

2) If you need a few more than 10 (which won't work for you, but can for others), we could always expand the plugin enough to accommodate just a few more forms, for a small fee.

3) Commission a custom development project to expand the Breezing Forms Custom Fields solution into a component, where unlimited form relationships can be created, and you can control the behavior of all parameters per form. Then there would be no limitation on how many different sets of options you create, and thus how many forms.

Let me know which of these sounds most appealing, and let's discuss. Please send us your thoughts off the forum at https://polishedgeek.com/clients/contact.php so we can talk details and pricing, if you are interested.

Thanks!
