Creating customized products with Ubercart & Node Checkout
33
Sign In Join Gaslamp Media‘s Thai Yin for an introduction to using UC Node Checkout and Ubercart to sell customizable products from your Drupal site. We’ll combine these modules with Views and CCK to give you flexible control over what products can use UC Node Checkout and what additional information is collected. In this example, we’ll be demonstrating with a simple custom printed t-shirt business.
We’ll focus on the Drupal 6 versions of each module. Attendees should have a basic understanding of Ubercart, as the majority of the session will be focused on the setup and configuration of UC Node Checkout. At the end of the discussion, there will be a question and answer session, time permitting.
A demo site has been setup. You can check this out before the session to give you an idea of how it works.
