add variant type to cart module...

I have noticed that if I have a product say candle and the product has a characteristic called fragrance and there are 3 fragrances
violet,lush & raspberry.

then when the product is added to the cart it simply add's only the name of the product but not the attribute with which it is associated to.

therefore if I add the product 'Large candle' with the Attribute 'raspberry' to the cart all that is stated in the cart is 'Large candle', If I then add another 'Large candle' to the cart with the attribute 'lush' then all the is added to the cart again is 'Large Candle', being a customer I would not be able to tell what 'Large candle' resolves to which 'Attribute' unless...

on each Characteristic I change the name to Large Candle (Lush), Large Candle (Raspberry) & Large Candle (Violet).. only then will the cart reflect the choice's that the customer has made.

therefore I ask is it possible to perhaps have a select box with the option to add 'variants' to the 'cart module' if a shop owner wishes?

so that if I setup the products and variants , variants having already unique names. to display them in the cart like so ;

<product> (<variant>), or Large Candle (Violet)

Thanks.

ps: I am slowly coming to appreciate this cart , and i have tested a lot of them. Most all joomla cart's are no good. this one with its support is definitely worth persevering with.

That's indeed the case. Note that this is only on the cart module. On the product page and the checkout, the characteristics values are already added to the name of the product if no name is set in the variant (something we added 2 weeks ago).

For the cart module you can try to replace the file components/com_hikashop/views/product/view.html.php by the one in the archive in this post. That's something we want to add to the next release in fact.
