Creating Variations for mobile phones

  • [ Moved to the Fixing WordPress sub-forum. Please do not use Developing with WordPress for these topics. ]

    I need to create a product (mobile phone) similar to carphone warehouse page. The options the customer needs to choose are:
    handset colour
    handset memory
    network provider
    line rental
    Minutes and texts
    data allowance

    Also on the page, it needs to show the price from per month which will be determined by the line rental and the upfront cost for the handset which could be free depending on the line rental also.
    And it also needs to show the outright cost of the mobile in case they want sim free.

    I am struggling to get these variations to work.
    Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. I have literally been pulling my hair out for the last two weeks with this.

    I am relatively new to web development I am studying computing at university and decided to take on a few projects thus throwing myself in at the deep end. I have learned so much by just getting as far as I have with the project. I was thinking to outsource this but I will never learn that way.
    Please help.
    Thank you for taking the timwe to read this.

  • Hello,

    Where to start explaining? I have no idea but I’ll give it a try.

    You could always check WooCommerce and the various addon Plugins that exist for it in case you find straight away what you are trying to achieve.

    If you want to approach this by writing your custom code from what I understand you want custom fields for your ‘products’ this means meta_box in WordPress ( for an easier approach on this you could again use plugins like Meta-Box to generate those fields.

    All those options your refer to could be linked to a jQuery .change() function so as soon as a customer selects something it refreshes an input box with the correct price.

    Hopefully you’ll get a start or a pointer at least on what I think you are trying to achieve here. In case I missed what you are trying to achieve or what the problem is exactly scratch everything, I’m still not sure if you want a full solution or if there’s a specific problem and question ^_^ .

    Best regards,
    Konstantinos
