Working - Multiple BTO Pages

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

   Hi everyone,
I wanted to gauge interest on a couple of BTO additions we've been working on in-house.
The first is the ability to create a page 2, page 3, etc for BTO configurations and allow customizations to each additional page (such as having a drastically different layout for a certain product or having a different page 2, 3, etc) for each item.  None of these changes are currently in use on our site, but for example, a certain product can now have a completely black layout with no menus and three configuration pages.  
It would allow a PC sales site (or any BTO site with a large number of customization options) to create additional pages on a BTO configuration (Page 1 core components, Page 2 accessories, etc etc).
The main caveat is that it requires a bit of comfort with adding tables to your database, but I'd be happy to share some of my notes if there's a desire for this.
Be forwarned though - I probably won't have the time to provide *any* assistance beyond what I can type here and often things get too busy to even respond to private messages and emails, I just thought this would be a nifty little change to beef up PC's configuration pages and also as a sort of 'proof of concept'.
