I’m bumping this issue since two other people (including myself) are at a work stoppage because of it. The basic problem is that we can’t add a custom option (with a price associated with it) that is independent of quantity. In other words, I want customers to add a customization option that is added to the order once, not to each product a customer purchases. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as this is an issue that prevents Magento from being used in many customized product applications.
I tried creating different customized products and combining them. This doesn’t work since you can’t combine configurable products in Magento… yet. And creating simple products for every combination is insane considering I would have to create about 100 simple products for each product appearing on the front end.
Possible solution paths:
1) Add a third option to the “Price Type” drop down. This new price type would be added to the total price (instead of being multiplied by the Qty) before moving to the cart.
2) Allow configurable products to be grouped together. Or allow simple products with custom options to be grouped together. I hear this is in the works, but timing is unknown.
Does anyone have code or insight to address #1, or aware of a work around?
Much appreciated!
