Hi
I wonder if it is possible to make/insert a "roll-down menu" in the product detail page f.ex. besite or upon the Prize-field?
Example: Lets' say I want to sale different carmodels of the same brand... There are a lot of different models of a car. A rool-down menu with the models to choose beetween? Is' that possible to make?
hi, you could use product attributes that is in the EXT version. I do recommend to buy. http://opensolution.org/os/templates/en_Quick.Cart_features_3.2.html#attributes

Aha - okay...
The attb.-packets to about 189 EUR (Quick.Cart.Ext) ?
they are already installed in the EXT version. You just install the EXT itself (and convert your existing database to the EXT format). It's basically a new QC EXT installation.

Okay...
Looks simple :) But how to convert the database to the EXT format? When I install the new EXT-version - what about the old data/how to avoid overwriting of my old db-data...?
It takes a smart mind to do this flawlessly... You should first take a look at the EXT's db/****.def.php files and compare them to the free version's counterparts. Note the different structure and how many fields are missing from the free version's files.
Then you must load the db files containing your data to the Excel or Calc and modify the (headers of the) columns so that the structure is the same as EXT ***.def.php files specify. This must be done for every pages_ and products_ file. Each file must then be exported to a CSV (=plain text) format using divider character $.
Then you should define your couriers/payments as well as all other settings. And you're done. This CAN be done overnight, although it's quite a lot of work. Nice thing would be if opensolution guys released a visual structure picture of EXT db files, so you don't have to look into every goddamn file in that dir.
If I were to do the conversion, I'd price this work for 50 EUR, especially if you want it to be done overnight, just because it's a lot of tinkering and then debugging.

Damm it sounds complicated... :)
I will think about your offer?
Is it a good idea to wait for the new stabil version?
You don't have to wait for anything, current RC is stable enough to allow you testing your re-created db files in new format. There are some small tweaks to do in this RC, but they are fixable in minutes: http://opensolution.org/Quick.Cart/forum/?p=readTopic&nr=5852
