how to add upsells products in this plugin?
6 March, 2014 at 5:23 pm #3853sorry, there are no upsells or crossells (yet anyway)
6 March, 2014 at 5:30 pm #3854RyanYou CAN, however, add a category for the items, and include that on the orders page, something such as
“Don’t forget dessert!”
[Wp-pizza category=”desserts”]or include individual items’ upsells with the ingredients add on:
Pepsi
O kids size
O Regular
O Make it a jumbo for only $0.996 March, 2014 at 5:37 pm #3855sure, that you can do (i was thinking more along a more automated, clicking a ton of buttons add this to that kind of solution)
6 March, 2014 at 5:43 pm #3856RyanI’ve been playing with that a bit myself, for example:
steak
-rare, medium, well done
-baked potato
–add butter, sour cream, chives, bacon bits
-salad
–dressingTrying to figure out how to add ingredients to ingredients 🙂
6 March, 2014 at 5:46 pm #3864RyanOr, better yet how to change the ingredients based on what the customer orders
if they want a steak entrée, they can get onion rings, fries, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, etc.
Then if they select the baked potato as listed in the ingredients under steak, allow them to choose the toppings for that, versus have every option for every potential side listed.6 March, 2014 at 5:50 pm #3857the steak think you can do
the add potato thing you can do
adding another ingredient (i.e butter, sour cream etc) to an ingredient (in this case the potato) sounds difficult to say the least . at the end of the day you are trying to add a meal to a meal as an ingredeint and then add another conditionally . it really isn’t really built for that (but if you can figure something out I would be happy to hear it though)
this is kind of where cross/upsells would come in I guess . ass in add one menu item to another menu item both of which could be configured to have their own ingredients …
6 March, 2014 at 5:52 pm #3865same thing really
6 March, 2014 at 5:54 pm #3858or, to put it in other words one could/would put this kind of thing into a coupon kind of plugin
as in “buy one get one (other item) free” and configure that other item too etc etc
there are however a million ways and possibilities one will have to think of – and would still not be able to think of all of it…
6 March, 2014 at 6:13 pm #3859RyanWell that’s certainly one way to look at it, but for simplicity’s sake, couldn’t it be the same basic code nested within the ingredients addon, just the way it currently is? The menu update is there, the expansion/popup, and the list of additional options…
6 March, 2014 at 6:47 pm #3860trust me, there’s nothing remotely simple about this. menu items are a completely different kettle of fish (programatically) to ingredients. So you cannot just pretend – again programatically speaking – that an ingredient is a menu item and then add another ingredient
i really wished it were that simple
(not having a go at you, just saying)
6 March, 2014 at 6:52 pm #3861moreover – ignoring the fact that it would need a complete re-write and just thinking out loud for a bit – you would probably have to treat the ingredients as custom post types , just like the menu items. which would also make database queries a LOT heavier (read slower)
right now, there are a maximum of 3 queries (or thereabouts if i remember correctly) to pull it all out and do its thing (the rest is all just calculations)
I’m sure there would be other implications along those lines too…
6 March, 2014 at 7:36 pm #3862PS: Don’t get me wrong, i totally understand the need that one/some might have for creating this kind of chaining of menu items, but – unless you keep it really simple – the add ingredients thing I don’t think will really ever be as flexible as you (and you are not alone) would like it to be as it was never really conceived to be used for this (always surprises me though – in a good way – as to how people are able to use things whether or not they were built for that ).
Furthermore – just my 2 cents – , even if one were to somehow be able to make this scenario part of it, I would think it would end up being utterly incomprehensible to most people (as in admins) as to what to do (it’s complicated enough as it is)
Nevertheless, I do plan to tackle this as well as coupons etc – as it kind of falls in the same category – in the not too distant future (as there certainly is demand for it) but until I actually get stuck into it I have absolutely no ETA as to when this might be released.
(then again, maybe there’s someone else out there that wants to have a go….who knows)
Either way, it will probably something like : do the main 3 or 4 requested scenarios to start off with , release it so people have something, and then build on that one…
again, just thinking out loud for a bit really…
6 March, 2014 at 7:41 pm #3863RyanNo worries mate, and no offense taken. I had imagined it to be much simpler, didn’t quite understand the difficulty until you put it in perspective. I’ve been using your software for a few months now, and plan to dissect it a bit to make a few tweaks as my business is rather unusual, and I’m one of those users using it in ways you probably hadn’t planned on.
