Here’s my issue.

1 pie is $30
2 of any pie is $45
How can I make it so that the person can order 1 apple and one cherry and have it come out to $45?
If anyone has an easy solution you get 2 free pies of your choice!
I ain’t kidding either!

You don’t say what cart you are using but the simplest and least elegant is
to make a product of each combination, which is priced as its own unit.
This as I say is making rather a large spread of pie options.
And you already have a large spread of shipping options spread out.
You may be able to set up shipping options that cover your bases inside Mals
rather than on the page.
And then you may be able to set up a quantity based pricing in Mals.
faced with the options I see on your page I would think through the
alternatives that I could imagine working as a user interface as well as
having a sense that they could be effected.
The Mals actions that are commercial but not dear can work with multi choice
checkboxes and menus and forms - I don’t know about the built in actions as
I have always used Tim’s.

Anybody got any thoughts on which is the best payment processor ie
balance of efficiency against cost, out of PayPal, Nochex, Verisign
or WorldPay when using the Mal’s system?
The pies look very nice…

My only thought so far is that you make a multi choice section at the bottom of the page where they just order two or more pies based on your variable shipping costs - since the pies are all similar in price the client just buys x number of pies
Then > you have to create an info box on the Mal’s page where they can input the flavours required > it should then appear in the section just before they add their credit card details - this info is then sent to you along with the order - 
log into your account at Mal’s and go to the cart set up section > go to the collect additional customer info > there you can add ( in the free version ) two additional fields to collect extra info > I think it can be a drop down list of up to ten items each ( not actually had need to try it myself ) but i think it might just do the trick
Just a thought

Forgot to mention do not tick the “Make required customer input” as whatever you put into the list will send you a flavour anyway

Hi Tony,
Mmmmm, pie!
What you want is a hidden field in your form called discountpr (see
http://www.mals-e.com/help28.php).
You set the break points for the prices and the prices themselves so
that 1 is $30.00, 2 are $45.00, etc and the Mals cart does the rest.
Sounds easy doesn’t it?
Well the bad news is that neither the Softpress actions or my Mals
Suite support discountpr as they stand although adding the field in
manually should be as easy as… well, pie! (I’ll get my coat).
All the best,
Tim.

Re: my previous idea - having had a good nights sleep I think the better option would be to put a blank text box into which they specify the flavours required - this appears in the shopping cart before they proceed to checkout.
I realised that whatever extra input boxes you add in the Mal’s cart setup will appear everytime someone uses any part of your shop and the drop down option could get confusing
I use the blank option on a clients shopping cart where they can specify colours of fabric
seems to work fine http://www.westcroftdesign.co.uk/shop/online.html click on furniture > select an item and add it to the shopping cart and you will see the box they have to fill in > you could add a header of >please enter the flavours you require in the box below > or similar
just an alternative solution

Hi Duotone,
nearly a year since I set that one up so I had to go back and check - bit rusty
in the actions palette > E-buy button dialogue box > set the Target: to _self
and just check you have set the correct return address in the Mals set up cart page at Mals website
should work fine after that
any problems let me know and I’ll do my best to help
Cheers

Hi Gary,
I’ve tried to put my Mal’s cart in an iFrame in my site - it displays the cart contents correctly BUT my E-buy button (on a different page) still sends me to a new browser window when I add items to the cart instead of to my page with the iFrame.
I tried changing the target for the E-buy button to _self and to the name of the iFrame but neither seems to work.
I saw your post and thought maybe I need to adjust the return link in Mal’s?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Jon,
I think that if the buy now buttons are on a different page to the iframe the default is to open a new page - ie _blank - I basically found it easier to keep everything to do with the shop inside the iframe - just use links to select the product and then load product and buy now buttons on a separate page in the iframe - hope I explained that ok !
do you have a link to anything I could look at ?

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the reply.
Here’s a link to a website that I’m trying to emulate: www.cecemarie.com
The shopping cart is embedded in the website in an iFrame rather than an external or blank webpage.
And here’s a link to the code he used : http://www.realmacsoftware.com/support/viewtopic.php?pid=198497
He used RapidWeaver and inserted one line of code into his BuyButton that points to his iFrame - looks simple enough, I just can’t quite get it to go.
Hope that clarifies what I’m trying to do.
Thanks again,
Jon
** I emailed Tim at www.freewayactions.com about this and this was his reply:
Hi Jon,
Thanks for the e-mail. Assuming you’ve created your iframe (either using markup or the iframe action at http://www.softpress.com/kb/ article.php?id=196) you can simply change the target setting in the Mals Buy Form Setup action to target the iframe with the Mals cart. When your user submits the item to Mals the cart will show up in the iframe.
Regards,
Tim.
I think I tried this first using only the name of my iFrame “mybag” then tried the full url to get to my iFrame and both still produced the cart in a new window.

Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
Hi Jon,
Now I’ve seen that example I can see what is going on. The Mals cart now supports the hidden field ‘nocart’ which, as the name implies, adds the item to the cart but instantly redirects the user back to the ‘return’ page. I’ve done this in the past with an action I wrote for a Mals user that pretty much hacked the cart to do the same thing but now it seems Mal has added this as a feature. So here is what is happening;
Unfortunately my Mals actions don’t support the nocart option at present and until I can get to add and test this you may want to add it in manually with the Source Code Snooper action (http://www.freewayactions.com/product.php?id=015). Simply attach it to your form item, add the hidden field, and publish. The iframe action, as previously mentioned, can be found here;http://www.softpress.com/kb/ article.php?id=196
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Tim.
Hi Tim,
That did the trick perfectly! Very simple add-in of
<input type="hidden" name="nocart" />
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="www.yourdomain.com/Cart.html" />
Thank you very much! I tried this with the Freeway HTML Markup action with no success (probably user error) but editing the E-buy Button text with the Source Code Snooper worked flawlessly.
Cheers.
