Ok I have just aquired a really nice online shopping system that is writen using php scripts. This program puts MIVA to shame. However, as nice as it is there are still some issues that require customization. Here is our delima:
We have created a product and it is assigned to the categories that it belongs, in this case it fits 5 categories. There is only a place to put in one long description (php, java or html code are accepted) and this description is displayed in a form that calles the field. Now the description is different for each of the 5 categories.
The idea we have is to place the html scripts for all 5 descriptions into the long description field of the product come up with a java script that will get the category variable that is currently listed... ie.
we have categorys 1,2,3,4,and 5 if the user browed to the product in category 1 then the system will return the variable that matches that category the script will then search the code and display the html that relates to that category and supress the rest of the html
this would be the default view.
Now there are links for the other 4 categories in each html script, so we want customers to be able to see these other descriptions reguarless of what category of products they are browsing. So that when a user browses to one of the other descriptions the long description field is searched; the correcsponding html is then displayed and all other code is suppressed and all this staying in the same field on the php form.
Any ideas about how to go about this. At best our java programer is a light green and needs to be pushed in the right direction.
If you would like to be commishioned to take on this project email me and we can discuss compensation.
