Can a simple product be associated with multiple Grouped products ?

Hi,

I have clothing products that each product will have 1 pant and 1 shirt (same style)  which has its own price.

product 1:   pant a (price $10), shirt a(price $19)
product 2:   pant a (price $10), shirt b(price $44)

How can Nop help in this situation ?

I try to use group template but the problem is the same pant may be used in other products, and Nop only allows 1-1 relationship between simple and grouped product.

Is there anything else I'm missing that can work for my case ?

Thanks.

May be product attribute or specification attribute can help you.

What I'm asking has nothing to do with product attributes or specs attrs, I need the way to show the result like grouped product http://demo.nopcommerce.com/nikon-d5500-dslr but each variant there could be reused in many other group products.

Right now, you cannot use Nikon D5500 DSLR - Black in 2 or more different grouped Products.

Currently, I'm making some changes on the database structure.

Product

  

 ParentGroupedProductId int =>  varchar (200)

then I switch from saving 1 productId to Json

IList<int> (productIds)

Good you have done a wonderful job. Will remember my suggestion when you will upgrade the nop commerce version.

yes that will work and i think better way is to create new mapping table for product and ParentGroupProduct mapping and add new tab on product/edit to map it.

i have done like this for one of my clients as per my thoughts its good approach.

can you please list steps what you have done to allow multiple products?

3.90... I want to do that too.. but I dont like changing my code from stock. Is it available in 3.90 now?

I have hundreds of products that use the same optional addons. I want to add the optional addons as a simple product in each set of grouped products that offer those same addons.

When doing it with product attributes, I have to add the attribute set to each simple product in a group of products sometimes 20 simple products long.

Much better if I can add the optional addons as a simple product on the top of the list of simple products that go with that one grouped product.

This seems to be a generic requirement. We can plan a plugin for this and help nopCommerce community but the requirements have to be more specific to frame it as a plugin..

Thank you,
