Additional Product Types and Fields

More Images:

This mod allows to configure an unlimited number of additional product fields in a very flexible way and to define an unlimited number of product types. Each product type is a combination of extra product fields. The mod gives you the controls to

• Add, Remove, and edit fields and types
• Specify a separate skin template file (*.tpl) for each product type
• Select from 11 types of fields: Integer, Decimal, String, Choice, Text, Boolean, HTML, File, Link, Image, and Image Link
• Specify the following behavior rules for each field:
  • Whether to show or hide an field if the value is empty
  • Maximum, minimum allowed values (for Decimal and Integer)
  • Number of decimal places (for Decimal type)
  • Maximum length of a value (for String type)
  • A list of allowed values (Choice)
  • Whether a File can be downloaded only by a customer or by anyone (for File type)
• File fields allow you to have products that are at the same time digital and tangible. For example, if you are selling software, you can sell in in boxes and also allow your customers to download purchased files. This is be done by adding a file type field to a product and marking it "order only".

For each attribute, a corresponding field is added to the Edit Product page (see the screenshots). For "Choice" fields - the field is presented as a drop-down with allowed values, for Boolean, as a drop down with Yes and No values, for Text - as a large text field, for Integer, Decimal and String - as a smaller text field, for HTML - as an HTML editor.
On the product page the cart will show only those extra fields that belong to the product's type.

Why I created it and why you need it?
I am selling 3 different types of products in my store: 3D models, blueprints and pictures, each of these products has different additional fields such as file format and technical details. Think of it as if you were selling all kinds of apparel, bags have fields different from jeans different from skirts, etc.

How you can use File type fields?Scenario 1: E.g you sell music CDs or Boxed Software but you also want to let your customers download what they bought before their shipment arrives via mail. To achieve this you will add a File field and designated as Order only.

Scenario 2: You sell digital goods, but you also want to let your customers download a trial or a shareware version of a product. Or you are selling something else that is accompanied by a file (i.e. a PDF user guide). In this scenario you can add a File field and it will become available for download to anyone who visits the store before they buy the product.
