Thanks guys.  It's just a store that seemed convenient to demonstrate the "format M" version of the category page.  Didn't post it to brag or promote our stuff, but I appreciate the compliments.  I'm glad you approve.]]> Mon, 27 Jul 2009 19:46:52 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/need-help-with-matrix_topic2895_post10784.html#10784 <![CDATA[Need Help with Matrix : Yeah, nice work greg. i like it...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/need-help-with-matrix_topic2895_post10782.html#10782 Author: avalight

Looking at the example stores Diego provided, the variation seems to only be size -- no combination of options. So, with only one variation, the number of Apparel product sub-products would be the same as creating a (non-apparel) product for each of these options (whereas a combo of 3 size and 3 color options would generate 9 sub-products).

And, in fact, on the example stores, each of the size variations is created as a separate product.

What's more there is the display of list price vs sale price -- no option for that in the apparel add-on without customization.

So, by setting up the products individually for each size, there would be no issue with weights, inventory, or pricing.

One small customization would be required here, though, to display the size in the matrix. This could be added as a custom field in the control panel, and then would just need a small customization to display it on category pages.

Diego - Sean has that right.
 
Here is a store with apparel and non-apparel products listed, and I have forced the page to display in the mode you are looking at using.
 
http://www.buygolfshirts.net/store/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=21&pageStyle=m
 
As you can see, the "multiple add to cart" version of this page does not allow apparel products to be placed in the cart directly - you need to click through to the product page to select such items.
 
So if you don't need to support distinct prices, weights and inventory levels for each individual pairing of color and size (for example), standard works.  If you need such support, it's mod time.

Hi Diego,
 
After looking at your examples and benpate's example, I think his solution is just what you are looking for and it's an option in the standard version. I don't think the Apparel add-on is what you want for this, and if you were to use that for this, it would require customizations to the layout to make it look like this.

I dont know if this works for you, but what I did was create a category and then use the multiple add to cart display for the products. Here is a link where you can see what Im talking about

Hi Katharina,

I used to do it without the apparel add-on, and it worked just fine.  The down side is that it does not handle the inventory count for each item with option like the size.  We did upgrade to the apparel add on and love it.  Now we have a count for each item.  It was worse the investment.  Early impact has a demo online.  Play with it.
