display a certain number of options based on the count selected for variables

Hi,

To be able to have an upload area, and a text area, you'll want to use custom fields of the table "item":

If you need to have extra fields appear based on other fields, you can use their "display limited to" setting to do that.
You won't be able to do that with characteristics / options like you've setup your product at the moment.
The drawback of custom fields is that you can't change the price of the product based on the fields. However, we developed a plugin called "price calculations" which can calculate the price of the product based on custom fields:
www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/148...ce-calculations.html
So, with custom item fields and this plugin, you should be able to do what you want.

If you need to add a canvas to the product page with custom javascript to taken into account the data in the custom fields to display a preview, that's possible. You'll want to edit the view file show_default via the menu Display>Views. There, you can add your code to tap into the custom fields to refresh the canvas.

Hi,

You can't "load 5 products into the page".
However, if you want to have extra input fields based on what is select in a field, you can use the "display limited to" setting of your custom fields.
So, now that you've created a custom field to select the number of pieces, you can create another field, and in that new field, you can use the "display limited to" setting to restrict its display based on the value selected in the first custom field.
This way, you can chain custom fields and provide several sets of custom fields if necessary.

Then, if you want the price to vary based on the custom fields, you want to use the price calculations plugin, as I was saying.

And regarding the canvas, if you want it to replace the image area, then in the show_default view file (via the menu Display>Views, as I was saying), you can remove this code:

	$this->setLayout('show_block_img');
	echo $this->loadTemplate();
