pssst @WesleyDavid, @Adrian, @tombull I never hated this room, I thought it was hilarious. With my snark, how could I not?! And nobody in here was ever on my shitlist, that's reserved for a very few, extremely special people, heh.
@s1lv3r don't need to use ninja forms...it's essentially just what I found first, was free, and had the hooks to enable me to do the custom field types. I've already done the coding with my custom field types and the form is good to go. the paypal piece is all I've got left...it's just a big piece (; I started looking at doing my own paypal api stuff, but they have so many different apis and versions and such so I thought a plugin might be easier. silly me q:
@s1lv3r the "conference attendee" product would be a mess. there's 3 time slots, 10 talks during each time slot. for each time slot, there's a line for each talk title and you select 1st/2nd/3rd for that talk. with validation to ensure you only select 1 1st choice yada yada. you don't have to select all 3 preferences for a time slot, you can even choose to only attend 1 or 2 of the time slots. either way, you just pay a flat fee for attending.
the workflow is: people don't have to select/attend all sessions, so on form submission I have "did the user select any sessions? ok, (somehow) add $x conference ticket", "did the user select any lunch options? ok, (somehow) add $y for lunch". those are the products for the PersonA...can rinse and repeat for PersonB...etc, then send to paypal once for everyone they entered
and I don't want people selecting quantities (; once you fill out the form, that submission is your entry (it contains which sessions you want to attend), another person needs another form submission, so cart quantities would just screw things up
I glanced at gravity the other day, didn't seem to support the manual add to cart either, even if I can convince them to spend $200 (which is a lot for this non-profit)
@Rarst I've looked at a couple plugins like WP E-Commerce and Simple E-Commerce. The hang-up seems to be something that will let me manually add items to the cart instead of presenting the user with a picture/description and an "add to cart" button.
Hi! I wonder if people might be willing to help me out with a plugin recommendation? (: I'm looking for a paypal plugin that will let me manually add products to the shopping cart. (I've setup a page with a form that users will select options for attending a conference, and then based on their selections I need to add generic products "Conference Ticket" and "Lunch" to their cart (and they can repeat for multiple attendees so I do need a cart).
