Andge Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Hello, I need a contribution which would allow me to post say: shirts, all different sizes and prices, in one listing. The customer would use the drop down box to choose the size they want, and the price would be updated automatically, rather than me post the "same" shirt three different times. Which one would you most recommend? Thanks Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanRanch Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 (edited) Maybe I'm missing something here in your question. Can't you just add via the standard product administration area an "attribute" called size and set the price accordingly for each of the shirts?

Remember that the "shirts" cost different amounts. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanRanch Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Product - Button Down Classic Shirt (price $25.00) Product Options (add 3 via product attributes) Small +0 (product price will be 25) Medium +1.99 (product price will update and be 26.99) Large +2.99 (product price will update and be 27.99) Of course you will need to create different "sets" of attributes for other shirts unless they also have the same price differential then just reuse thos on another shirt. There are other issues regarding sorting of the attributes (there is no sort in the standard out of the box code), so the drop downs will be random unless you add a sort by name in the query. If you need this I can give it to you. Or you can install the sort contribution. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1690 HTH Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasted so much time. Once I was considering trying it but for some reason didn't think it'd work. Wow, I'll go try it, thank you. Yes if you could send the "sort by name in the query" I'd be thankful. Many thanks. Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanRanch Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 See my post#9 in the following thread. You might also want to consider installing the "Must select" contribution code referencd in this thread. It will insure that your customer selects one of the options rather than just taking the default. http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=132800&hl= HTH Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andge Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 Ok, thanks. Andrew. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, I'm installing the contribution, I put in everything that I know of but am getting this: Warning: main(includes/html_title.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/amurraye/public_html/product_info.php on line 24 Warning: main(includes/html_title.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/amurraye/public_html/product_info.php on line 24 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/html_title.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/amurraye/public_html/product_info.php on line 24 What's missing?

OceanRanch Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 What contribution are you installing. If its the "must select" contribution, then it only modifies standard oscommerce files. I'm not familar with html_title.php unless it to is from a contrib like STS or BTS. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's the one you linked me to, this one: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1690 I see that persons were having the same problem I am, but the solution hasn't worked for me.

OceanRanch Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 If I were you I'd back out the contrib, and just change the query to add the sort by name as I had indicated. Keep it simple. Unless you want to dig and try to "sort" the problem with the contrib. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I replaced the file with a standard file and the error's gone, now I gotta see the contribution's working if not I'll just do what you said. Didn't you install this contribution? Thanks Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
