Different descriptions per Option

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hey everyone,

I was wondering if there is some easy way that I could have different descriptions per product options. Sometimes, a different colorway is made out of different material that does not correspond to the others. I noticed when I exported my products to an excel file that the description for the sub-products (ie. colorways) is set to "Please see Product SKU #PRODUCTNAME for more details." If I deleted this and put in a different description, would this accomplish what I am wanting to do or is there an easier way?

Thanks for your help in advance!
Shawn

	Unfortunately, no - that would not achieve your desired results. The "Please see Product SKU" is added by the administration side of the shopping cart when generating subproducts and is never used to determine what the subproduct's description should be. It's tricky, but what I would do is edit the viewPrdCode.asp file so that the description routine acts similarly to the pcs_ProductPrices routine. You'd then need to be able to edit the subproduct's description in the admin side of things - I would add it to the view all subproducts page. It would be time consuming to make it to all work dynamically (ie, change as you select the options). ps - I'm using the apparel addon so I'm not sure what I've said is still accurate for the standard version.
