Show custom fields/allow entry based on quantity

Hi,

I have a similar requirement to this post www.hikashop.com/en/forum/4-how-to/53974...roduct-quantity.html . However instead of an event, ours is a customised product. For example, a customer adds a hat to the cart and for each hat they can get custom embroidery stitched on. For this they need to be able to specify a separate piece of text for each hat qty in the cart.

We currently have it setup as a custom textarea field so customers could write all the names in this custom field. But because there are no limitations on this field, they could write 10 names but only add 1 hat qty to the cart. We then have to call them and get them to pay for the other 9 hats.

I checked the solution in this documentation page www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...ikashop-entries.html but I don't believe it will work because you have to create a specific Entries menu page. The online shop we have has multiple products which can be customised and added and they are all displayed in a single menu link configured as product listing layout. We wouldn't be able to create separate menu links for each customised product.

So - what I am wondering is if there is any way around this issue?

For us the perfect scenario would be each time the QTY is increased on a particular product, a new custom field appears/is enabled automatically that allows limited text characters to be entered for each field.

Hi,

I don't see solutions with the HikaShop options.
It will probably require custom code for this feature.

You can, for example, create 10 custom fields with the type item, display only the first one, and when the quantity is changed, display the other custom fields depending on the number selected.
It require good PHP knowledge.
