nate b,

Not to offend, nate, but I doubt you'll be able to pull this off. Why? Because you're not even capable of looking up Hunkybill's sites where he's used product customization.

Hint: you will need click somewhere on THIS very page, then click one more time - last time! - to land on such example website. Ready, go! Challenge!

I just had a client ask me this last night. Same question for me. I might add a post on the support side too for quicker clarification.

Frequency of submission in Google Product Search by -Mark

Is there any guidance as to the frequency of product submissions to Google Product Search?

BaseSync did it nightly, was wondering how Shopify was going to handle this?

OKay since we got all that out the way... can someone show me a site where Hunkybill did this or a site where someone did this or hunky can you come back and tell me whats sites.. that would be a great help to get me going in the right direction...because I cant pay for more SKUS and can not NOT offer the products that I want to offer when I can by simply understanding STEP 2 of the tutorial And sorry if you think this is spam, I just want help, plain and simple, sorry if i ruined your day, sincerely, wasnt my intention. I didn't know it would this difficult to get help with STEP 2. So now I am not asking for HIRE or EXPLANATION, all I need is help from someone, and that help would be postng some sites where multiple options were used. PLEASE post one... PLEASE, thats all I need from someone.. thanks.

bless ur soul

If sales are the least of your worries, then maybe you should borrow money to make money.

Nate, you previously said that you wanted JavaScript attributes implemented for you and that you wanted your 'nasty' layout problems in Internet Explorer fixed for '50 bux' total. Now, unlike 'bux' is some sort of currency where 1 bux = $15 USD, I believe you are just wasting your time here pestering for help.

Let me break it down to you: JavaScript attributes in Shopify are one huge hack that only developers can wrap their heads around -- and even then, it's a lot more than a few lines of code, it is substantial work even when you totally (and I mean totally) understand what's going on. cart.attributes are attributes of the cart, they're not attributes of any Line Item - or god forbid: Item - in the cart. The whole JavaScript attributes trick is to do 'as if' and it requires a lot of logistic and gymnastic. It requires DOM scripting skills as well, because much of the implementation is theme-specific. FYI, when Shopify Options were introduced, Shopify's team went through their catalog and had to make some changes to each theme, so that Options would work...

Now explain to me why why someone who is not your friend or uncle will spend a day or two working for you, Nate, for $50 dollars total. Not only that, he'd have to drop anything that is doing because you need the work done now, with your '1-2 days' deadline. Where is your sense of entitlement coming from, that's what I'd like to know :)

Use Shopify Options, Nate, and if you have problems in IE, revert back to the original Showroom theme and build it again -- it always takes less time to go through the CSS customization again. And why o why did you have to pick the hardest theme of them all? :) Showroom is an advanced theme for advanced users, it's for web designers who know JavaScript. That is, if you want to customize it, and you did. Shopify's Catalogue page made that clear way back when -- you will notice that Jaded Pixel has removed this theme from its catalogue since. Sigh of relief. But you had been warned.

Hunkybill's advice is very wise: start with less SKUs if you can't afford to have more.

Good luck.

Looks great! I have two things here that I would tackle to polish it and make it perfect though.

The menu on the right is slightly popping out to the left.
You need to get rid of the dropdowns since there is no variations to choose from
Get rid of "Variations of this Product" in the product titles since there are no variations.
I also (personally) think a nice graphic "add to cart" button would look much better here and match the site better

For 2) http://forums.shopify.com/categories/2/posts/30338

Hope it does well from the Huffpost traffic!

I would personally appreciate it if you would stop spamming the forum with this Nate. Like I said before....you already have five threads on this spread all over the place!!! Please use the one you posted in the job board and bump it ever few days. If you need to edit it there, fine, but please keep it in the right forum area and keep it in one thread. Thanks!

Happiness Is - The Movie by ericlyleklein

"Happiness Is" is the second feature documentary from filmmaker Andrew Shapter (critically acclaimed for his first documentary called Before The Music Dies). Andrew wanted to try out a new DIY distribution model where his production company, Roadwings Entertainment, sells directly to fans. Additionally, he offers the film free to anyone who wants to host a screening. Charities all over the country are currently hosting screenings where they are able to keep 100% of the proceeds on donations from the screening while Roadwings only makes money if people like the film and want to buy a physical copy or a download.

We created his store with Shopify due to its flexibility, robust feature set, and ability to look like it is part of his own site - and because we only had one day to get it something set up. We also added on the Fetch application to handle digital downloads of the documentary. Support from both companies has been outstanding. The film is being highlighted on the Huffington Post on Monday (Nov 9) so we are hoping to start off with a bang.
