A related product question

I am setting up a pizza shop. I shopper should be able to choose extra toppings for a given pizza. I tried using related products and it seems to work, to a point.

Here is the question: If the shopper chooses pizza 1 and a topping a, then he chooses pizza 2 and topping b. How does the shopper / pizza store know which topping goes with which pizza? This is not visible in at checkout.

At checkout I see all the toppings and all the pizzas, but not which topping is related to which pizza.

I have also tried cart variants, but there is no multiple choice available that I can see.

Latest Hikashop free version, joomla 2.5.6


I really need this functionality!

The related products won't allow you to do that.
Instead, you should create custom fields of the table "item" and of the type "multiple list" or "checkbox" via the menu Display->Custom fields. However, that's only available for the Business edition.
Also, price cannot change based on the custom fields selection unless you create a custom price calculation plugin so it might not be suitable for what you want to do if you're not a programmer and in that case I don't have any other solution.

That is too bad. I am not a programer. I really like this shop, but for this project I need multiple choice.

unless you create a custom price calculation plugin


Do you know of someone who can do this for a reasonable price?

A potential solution we now have is to create one "option" per topping number. Each option can have several values and for each value to can define a price which will be added to the price of the product where the option is displayed:

I think this only applies to commercial versions.

Hi,
Options are also available through the hikashop starter version, you'll find it through the "Options" tab of your product page.

My bad, I just checked the Options documentation and it seems like it's only available through the commercial versions like you said :

Please note that those modifications will only be applied when you save the product. Options are only available in our commercial editions.
