Can I do this with OSCmax?

[juggernaughty]

I am new to OSCMax and was wondering if anyone can tell me if I can make a store similar to:

This is what I want
https://www.coastalcontacts.com/glas....html?rsView=1

This will work too
http://www.onlyspecs.com.au/product_...&products_id=9

Notice when you select frames you can choose to buy the frame on its own or add lenses on. But with the lenses you need extra information like what type of lens and what the details of the prescription is.

Thanks in advance

Anyone have any advise on this?

Eye glasses, eyeglasses, eye glasses frame, reading glasses, flexible & glasses. Prescription Glasses and Frames

yes, but it will take a great deal of hacking.

Grrr.. one of my pets hates!
Since when did the singular of lenses have an 'e' at the end?

If/when the PAD is written for Option Types, then this will become easier.
I thought Met00 might have suggested Family Products.

Looked at it... not going to work.

What he really wants is the ability to add this to every pair of glasses. So every product would have to support this. The best way to do that is to have a totally separate application that is called in on the product_info page and stores a prescription to an individual. Actually, I would just add it as a separate module (not at the product level) that adds "prescriptions" to "users" in an account. So that way I could add mom's and dad's prescription. Then when I order I would associate a prescription (lenses) to the glasses order.

So, this would be an "add a prescription to account" feature and then be able to associate a prescription to a frame in the ordering of the frame.

Somewhat major "hack" to OSC, but a very useful contribution for things where you want to allow someone to associate a "thing" with an item in the shopping cart (could be used to allow someone to select art from a gallery, and then apply that art to t-shirts, mugs, etc. picked from a store).

Hmmm, think of it as "create a user preference" and then "associate 'user preference' to shopping act item".

In this case rather than picking a user preference, you would create a prescription record and associate that.

Yep, does make more sense. Instead of Product Extra Fields, a kinda Customer Extra Fields (prescription), could be appropriate.

[juggernaughty]

That would definitely be one way of doing it. However it would be more appropriate if the lenses were associate with the frame and then the prescription with the customer.

Frames and lenses are products where the prescription is the criteria needed to make the lenses. Different information is required depending on the lenses that are desired by the customer. You can see this on the coastalcontacts link that i posted originally. Be sure to click ORDER NOW to see there lens ordering process.

Another item worth mentioning is that all frames will work with single vision lenses (distance or reading) but NOT all frames work with bifocal or progressive lenses. The frame will have to have lens attributes associated with each(single vision, bifocal, progressive) to determine what lens products should be offered to the customer when they are purchasing frames. And once they choose the type of lens product they want to go with there frame then can then enter the necessary prescription information need to create the lenses.

Lenses need to be there own product. As they are all priced differently depending on what type of lens you get and what coating you add on too it as well (transition, anti glare, etc).

Are there any contributions that come remotely close to doing this, either for oscmax or oscommerce?

[ridexbuilder]

"transition, anti glare, etc" - these are simply attributes, not products in their own right.

Someone has been here before:
Designer glasses online - discounted designer sunglasses UK
If it can be done in osC, then it can be done better in 'Max

Thanks so much for all your insight.

Looks like I will have to get some custom PHP work done. Any recommendations on who would be a good candidate to approach for this task?

What requirements/experience does the developer I need for this project of mine?

Thanks again
