Products / Orders : Best way to add user-specific info to item in an order?
Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2010 9:27 pm
I'm using Calguy's Ecommerce Suite (Products, Orders, Cart)
I have a membership site where the member (parent) can have several players (kids) and buys tournaments for the kids. Sometimes only one of the kids comes to the tournament, so I need a way to buy a product and specify which kid it's for at the time of adding it to the cart.
A product attribute would work great, if dynamic attribs were possible. I could just populate the attribute with that child player ids on the fly. But Products doesn't have dynamic attributes, so...
What would be a good way to link a piece of information, in this case the player id, to an Order Item at the Cart page so that my Post_Gateway_Complete script can add the correct player to the Tournament?
