“Customize Product” Flash Application in Oscommerce.
We are not set on this exact process but we have given you an idea of what we need to happen. Before we get started, to get a better idea of what we are trying to do, review these sites: [login to view URL], [login to view URL], and creatingimpressionz.com. We want to implement this with oscommerce because will be selling a lot of other artwork but these custom pieces are a large part of our business. Ideally this should be designed in Flash as it would be easier for me to edit in the future if I needed to.
We want to give our customers to chance to customize and order without us having to be involved.
A prominent link on the oscommerce site would take the customer to the “Custom Art” product page.
Input box with instructions to input a name would be displayed.
Name is entered ie Smith
Submit is then selected
For the name “Smith”, five open boxes would be presented (preferably in a sample frame)
If the name if greater than 8 letters, a notice in red text above the frame would say
“Names or words longer than 8 letters will use 2x3 pictures instead of 4x6”
Click on first box
“S” images would be displayed above the box
One of the “S” images would be clicked which would then fill the first box.
Each box would present the appropriate letters when selected.
Once all the boxes had been filled, click “Continue”.
Frame options with price according to word length would then be displayed along with the option for Sepia or Black and White Pictures
Select one frame style and Color of pictures
Once finished, “Add to cart.”
Once in the cart:
The finished piece with the five images in sequence should be the product that is displayed.
The product id should be the code for each photograph that we assign to each image in sequence so that we have the code of which picture for each letter the customer wanted.
ie. S6M2I5T8H1 S6 M2 I5 T8 H1
What we need to be able to edit:
We will need to be able to add new pictures or remove old ones as well as change corresponding letter codes. If we have seven different pictures of “L”s, we will have them coded as L1, L2, L3, …L7.
Frame options with corresponding prices based on the number of letters
It is important to us that you have read and understand our needs completely and know that you can professionally provide a finished product as requested. To show us that you will listen to us, put “ATTN AZUA” in the title of your offer.
I would prefer that it be done in flash as I am familiar with the product. What I don't know how to do is to get oscommerce to accept the finished product into the shopping cart with images and custom product id code.
