Add Collection And Product To Collection??

I've found a work around for ordering class prints that can't be downloaded. I have made a collection with no products in it and added a text option so they can type what class they want printed.

I'd like to add this 'collection' to other collections containing prints. I only seem to be able to add collections OR prints, not one of each?

What you will have to do is create a collection selecting the "Including other collections" option then add both collections to that.

Thanks Tim, when I do that I only have the option of adding collections, individual products aren’t available to add as well.

A work around I've found is create a collection for each individual product I want to add to the group. I then add the collections to the main collection. This is a bit messy though and when adding photos to each collection it says "your collection is complete -view cart" even though there are still prints with no photo selected. The " Require all products to have photo selected." is checked.

It would be much simpler to allow combining collections and individual products into a collection. OR allow individual products to be ordered with NO image selected.

(This is all caused by the problem of needing to restrict downloads of the group photos but allowing prints orders.)

I need to do collections like this:
buy all digital downloads, 8x12 print, class print-print only, no download)

My class photo is in a passcode gallery with a seperate price list that has no items. To order the class print, they choose the class print collection and type the name of their class.

Open to ideas!!
