Hi all,
I’m wondering if someone can help me come up with a solution to a problem i’m struggling with. On a site I’m building there are tours. Each tour has a pricing structure. Some of the structures are the same (1 week - $100, 2 weeks - $200 etc) and some are completely different.
What I feel like I need is a sort of multiple input custom field set up. So there would be a header of “Pricing”, and then a Key input and a Value input. So I could put in “1 week - $100, 2 weeks - $200”. This would also need to dynamically increase and decrease, as some only have one price, some have 6 prices and they want 3 different currencies!!
What would be the best way to do this? I’m finding custom fields a little bit limited for this and I’m stuck for ideas of how to proceed!
As far as my knowledge of WP goes, you can either use Custom Fields or Custom Taxonomies to achieve this. I agree that if there are more values, managing it might be an issue, so for adding content, I would suggest use some form plugin which allows dynamic row / column addition. You would need a 2 column dynamic field update which could then store the values to a single custom field and the same could be retrieved as per your requirement. With regards currencies I would suggest use some automated currency converter or you would need 3 column dynamic field (with one column storing the ISO values of currency codes) like USD etc.
Thanks for the advice. I ended up using advanced custom fields plugin and then wrote some logic to strip the pricing based on comma or hyphen delimiters. Was difficult to implement but works great now!
