ohhh.
I was almost sure that I ve done this on filters. But I was wrong.
I found something similar on the form
www.hikashop.com/forum/filters-search/89...-your-selection.html
In the last post Nicolas proposed
Well, I see two solutions:
1. You could use the solution I propose. The code of the product is a non issue. When you connect HikaShop with your "main system", you could make it so that the integration can synchronize the different products with the product in the main system, for example by having a custom product field where you would store the product code.
That's actually what's I've done on the website of a client who had a similar problematic.
2. You could have instead only one custom field with all the possible combinations as values so that you would be able to select the combinations for each product. Then, you would build a custom module to display the search dropdowns and a custom plugin to apply the filter on the custom field of the products based on the combination selected in the 3 dropdowns.
The first solution seems very heavy for the project. We re talking about 60.000 products. So it ll get more than 600.000 using that way. A tyre fits sometimes to 10 brands. So dublicating... is a load nightmare.
The second solutions maybe is an option. But I can t understand what Nicolas mean. Can you make it more clear please?
