Re: [ic] Do matrix options work in 4.8.1?

Hi,
We handle this by using an items table and a prices table. The items table 
has an itemid, title, description, producer, etc. Prices has priceid, 
itemid, size, pack, container type, price. We are doing this for beverage 
industry products where it is common to have items like Coca-Cola that 
have different prices for various container types, sizes and packs while 
the characteristics of the item remain constant.

        Subject:        [ic] Do matrix options work in 4.8.1?


Hi-

I just finished looking through the mail archives after I was unable to
get matrix options working in the latest release. I can set up options
and enable their display in the catalog, but the correct prices do not
show up in the shopping cart. The products in the foundation demo that
have options are not showing up correctly either.

Basically, I want to be able to have:

"Master" Movie Title/Release (with product image, description, etc)
  -VHS Option (with price 14.99, separate shippable item)
  -DVD Option (with price 24.99, separate shippable item)

It seems to me that this is a pretty common scenario. If someone
chooses VHS, I want to charge them 14.99. If they choose DVD, I want to
charge them 24.99.

I am currently using an earlier version of IC in production, and I have
separate items for DVD and VHS editions, had been hoping to leverage
the options functionality in the new release...

A lot of people posted questions about this on the mailing list, and I
saw one post from Mike Heins saying that modular options aren't
working. Does anyone know if matrix options are working? (and if so,
what am I missing?)

Any input appreciated. Thanks.

-Malcolm
