Sub-Characteristics

Hi,

I am using your software to create an on-line shop for a Rosette company.

Each rosette has an option of 1, 2, 3 or 4 Tiers and we need the customer to be able to tell us which colour they would like for each Tier. I have been playing with the Characteristics but cannot find a way of creating what would effectively be a sub-characteristic (i.e. if 1 Tier is selected then only 1 colour dropdown appears, if 2 Tiers are selected then 2 colour dropdowns are shown).

Any help much appreciated.

Hi,

There is no way to do that with characteristics and/or options.
You can have such dynamic display of dropdowns with custom fields of the table "item" and the "display limited to" option of the fields. You can create them via the menu Display>Custom fields.

That's brilliant thank you.

The only thing I am now not sure of is how to configure "display limited to". Each Tier has it's own price band so I have set this up in the Characteristics but can't link "display limited to" to the individual Characteristics.

Custom fields display can only be limited to other custom fields. That's why I said that you should not use characteristics but only custom fields.
You want to have different prices for different tiers selection and unfortunately, you can't have that with custom fields.
So you won't be able to do what you want with just the options available. You'll need to modify some of the code.
One possibility is to use only custom fields, and develop a quantity price calculation override plugin to calculate the price dynamically as explained in our developer documentation: www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...r-documentation.html
An alternative is to display/hide the custom fields by adding custom javascript code to the characteristic dropdown so that it manually hide/display the custom fields.
Which ever way you choose, that will require that you find a developer to code that.
