Guest Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I need to know how to "order" the display of product options. Specifically, I need the drop-down box to display the "no extra charge" option FIRST, then the extra charge options AFTER that. Is it an issue of the order in which I ADD the options??? Site is www.talmadge.net/gallery. If you click on the product "A Good Day", you should be able to see what I mean. I'm getting what I want in the Gallery Wrap and Remarque options, but I need the Size option to show the 24" default size FIRST... Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

TerryK Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 If memory serves me correctly, I think the attributes are listed in alphabetic order, so I got around it by creatively naming my attributes. :) I think there's a contribution for ordering attributes. Check the contrib's section via the link at the top of the forum pages. HTH, Terry Terry Kluytmans Contribs Installed: Purchase Without Account (PWA); Big Images, Product Availability, Description in Product Listing, Graphical Infobox, Header Tags Controller, Login Box, Option Type Feature, plus many layout changes & other mods of my own, like: Add order total to checkout_shipment Add order total to checkout_payment Add radio buttons at checkout_shipping (for backorder options, etc.) Duplicate Table Rate Shipping Module Better Product Review Flow * If at first you don't succeed, find out if there's a prize for the loser. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy at oddly enough Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Hi this is actually a pretty simple bit of code to gain control of how the options are listed. You can make them order by attribute ids, and then enter them in the order that you want them to display in. If you entered them already, you'll be ok as long as you followed a logical order putting them in. If not you can still do this, but youll need to edit the database to get the attribute ids changed into a workable order. Look at this thread : http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...ndpost&p=279105 My post shown and the post right above it have the needed code change. Hope this helps, Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy at oddly enough Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Yes, my attributes table is closing in on 900 entries, so when they were displaying in seemingly random order it was driving me nuts! I'm glad it was such a simple fix! Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 This post definitely fixes it showtopic=71148&st=0&view=findpost&p=279105. Would be interested to know if anyone is working on a Mod or maybe I am not looking hard enough In the contributions? Is there one out there? Like maybe something that has a parameter for order of the options similar to the way categories do? Seems odd that having an "option" that is added to a product by default is a bit strange. They are callled OPTIONS for a reason :P I'm a new user for osC but am getting ready to turn someone loose managing the products once I have it set up. I can see the puzzled look on their face when I mention that they have to set up an option that won't charge the customer FIRST, and then add the "options" that do cost money ;) Thanks for all the help in this board. With all the features that osC has, I surely don't want to seem ungrateful for one little oddity that is overshadowed by so many good things.....
