Cities

  1. I tried to do a search on this, but because I haven't bought it yet, it wouldn't let me read the discussion... which isn't very helpful.

    Here is what I need...

    I have a product which is city-based. Meaning, that the price and options change depending on the customers location.

    Therefore, I need to do something similar to the following:

    1) Customer chooses his state.
    2) Cities appear (not all, only medium and large markets)
    3) If his city does not appear, there is a box for other... where he enters the text and we would then consider this a "small" market and would give him the price we charge small markets.
    4) If he chooses a medium market city, we will give him 2 price choices.
    5) If he chooses a large market city, we will give him 3 price choices.

    So, a lot of cities will have to be entered. Can this be done by uploading a csv file with cities and prices, etc. or would each city have to be manually entered?

    Thanks!

  2. When adding the cities, you can copy/paste them in (if in a list it is just a quick job). You would then include an 'Other' option which, if selected, would bring up the extra box to type into.

    You would go through each city and create an if input so, for example, if you had Washington DC selected you would tell it to show the html with the three price choices, if a smaller one, then it would show the html with one or two prices shown. You would only have to create one of each html section, and call the 1, 2 or 3 option.

    This is very easy to do with GF, it is easier done than explained.

  4. The post you want me to look at isn't hyperlinked. Nothing for me to click on.

    Thanks for your response. That's great.... but I suppose if I have 500 cities, I'll have to manually go through and make a selection for each city, right? There's no shortcode that I could use (which I could copy from the csv) that would indicate which "html choices" to show?

  5. It sounds from what you have described that you may need some sort of custom solution. You could do it with Gravity Forms but managing the form would probably get very messy. I don't think any of the other form solutions out there are going to be able to do this out of the box either. What you want to do is more of a custom dynamic solution.
