[ic] Asking for more information if buying a certain product

[Russ Mann]

Sure.  Make a database field in the products DB that you can set to 1 or 0.
Then in the cart items loop, set a scratch variable based on any carted
product having a 1 in this field.  Then on the profile, and checkout page,
base the requirement for this field on the existance of the scratch
variable.

May I also suggest encrypting the SSN.

Subject: [ic] Asking for more information if buying a certain product



I have a project that I am working on in which I would like to be able to
ask the customer for more information if they buy a certain product.

*** ***

For example:

If John buys a cellular phone, when John checks out he will be prompted for
his SIN/SSI, Driver's License Number and Date of Birth.

Sandy buys something, but it isn't a phone.  When she checks out, only the
default information is asked for.

*** ***

Has anybody done anything like this?  Could somebody give me some guidance
as to where to start, and whether this is even a reasonable undertaking?

THANKS!!!
