Default Re: Products with 2 Options

You are saying how many products you have with these particular options but as long as it is only one or a few it shouldn't be too difficult.

Let me give an example to explain how it works. Lets say we a product named "sticks" that are sold in several heights and widths (we can include lengths as well but it is not needed for the example). Also, to simplify, we will only use 1, 2, and 3.

First we make option called "height" and make 1, 2, and 3 as the options. Then we make option called "width" and make 1, 2, and 3 as the options. This will allow all combinations, but since a combination of 1 x 2 is actually the same as 2 x 1 we need to make 2 x 1 an exception. We need to do this for 3 x 1 as well.

The place we do this is in the product options for the product named "sticks". There are drop-down boxes for each option you make that will allow you to add each exception necessary.

If you have a lot of products you need to do this to then perhaps the solution is the commercial one suggested earlier in this thread, but if it is just a few it isn't as tough as it appears once you get the hang of how it works.
