Multiple forms

-- url of the page with the problem -- : 2014conference.icac.org.jm/
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.3
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5

Our site is for an event (a Conference) and there are three member categories (Non-member, Member & Spouse) with three differing price for each (No Registration to Joomla/Hikashop required). Each event attendee is required to select their preference, fill in the form (we used custom fields to develop) and pay. See demo: 2014conference.icac.org.jm/index.php#page-158

(1). The problem is whether you select Non-member, Member or Spouse, there is just one form for an attendee to sign-up and then pay. Spouse needs a separate form and then pay. How can this be accomplished?

As the site is near completion we just would like a separate form for Spouse with different fields than the original form.

(2). If I cannot add another form for Spouse, how can I develop the current form so that the Non-member or Member form can add the price of $225 for their Spouse if selected. Please help, I really like Hikashop and been using since 2011.

Hi there,

Instead of multiple forms why don't you propose multiple products? It would be a much easier way to have different prices.
Or you could add an option named "spouse" to you product so the member will be available to select it or not when they order.
About the form itself, you could add few custom fields which are not required if you want to have more information but that won't affect the price.

They are multiple products (3 in all). And I have used custom fields to create the form. But that is the issue I am asking about. The attendee selects a product, say Non-member, it goes to the form. But when the attendee selects the product Spouse, I would like another form. Is that possible?

If not, then how can I get the products, Non-member and member to add the price of Spouse?

Now I got it. It think you should basically edit your custom fields and apply them on product instead of checkout.
This way your customer will have to fulfil the form when they select their product and you'll have all the information you need on the order.

Ok. Could you direct me how to do that? I know how to apply the form on the checkout process, but not on the product.

Hi,
You'll just have to :
- Go to "Hikashop->Display->Custom fields"
- un-publish the custom fields that you have created
- create them again, but set the "table" option to product

Simply modify or create a custom field and choose the type "product". Then make it require, apply it only on the caterogy/product you want. And make sure it's displayed on the front end. It should be good then

EDIT: I think you'll have enough info with these two posts!

Great. I have created the new form, but how do I link it to the product? When I create a form, by default (via the no registration option) it calls the address table. How can I get the product to call the "product" form I created using custom fields?

If you checked the option "display on front-end", it will be displayed for sure

Thank you Eliot, You have been remarkable with your assistance, but can I give you access (via PM) and you may inform me what may be wrong. It is just not working properly for me.

Even if I un-publish the fields from address and place under the "table" product, upon checkout, the user would still see/use the same form. I wish for a different form for the product Spouse, then another form with differing custom fields for the other two products, Non-member & Member.

Hi,

I would recommend to create custom fields of the table "item" via the menu Display>Custom fields. They will display directly on the product page. In these custom fields options screen, you can use the categories listing in order to restrict each field to the products of the categories listed there. That way, you can have different fields for different products.

Sorry, I may be getting it all wrong . Is there a demo I can see?
When I set it up, I do not see the fields or the new form on the Product page. See my test page I set up with your instructions ( 2014conference.icac.org.jm/android-2.html ). There are no fields there. And when I click on "add to cart" I get the same form.

Let me try to explain a little more clearly. I wish to have 2 different checkout forms. The one that is currently there (hf85a1b0.png, it appears after you click on the "add to cart" link) and another form with different fields, when you click on another product.

If that cannot work, then how can I develop the current form so that the checkout form can add the price of $225 to the existing calculation if "Yes" is selected. See image attached (ha3f9095.png)
.

This is the registration form, it displays on the checkout not on the product page and thus it is common to all the products.
I'm talking about the product page which is where you see the add to cart button. there, above the add to cart button, you'll see your custom item field after you create it and you can have there different fields for different products.
