patator Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Hello Here is my problem, to populate/repopulate the attributes drop down list in the product_info.php, I either use the tep_draw_pull_down_menu or a javascript function. When the attributes list are populated from the tep_draw_pull_down_menu, the attributes will show in the cart. If I populate the attributes using the javascript and add the product to the cart, the attributes won't show in the cart. Could somebody tell me how the attributes are sent from the product_info to the cart : hidden fields ? how to fill them? Options populated with tep_draw_pull_menu Options populated from js and not showing in the cart Please, give me some clue on what to work on..... Thanks for reading this post Patrice :'( PS : sorry for reposting the question, but I'm really stuck and I'm desperate for little help :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patator Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 Sorry to bump again but could somebody help me ? Is it my question too specific or not clear enough ? I just would like to know how to populate the attribute array which is sent to the cart, without using the tep_draw_pull_down_menu ?

peterr Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Hi, The product attributes aren't showing here though: http://www.clubfitting.net/snake-eyes-quick-strike-p-97.html and that is before the 'add to cart'. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patator Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Hi Peter, Yes they are showing (on my screen at list, ie6). What browser do you use ? If I select Right hand, I can access to the different lofts. When I select the loft and add the product to the cart, the cart doesn't show the selected attribute. Are you sure you can't access to the attributes after selecting either RH o LH ? (no offence.... :-" ) Thanks Pat Hi, The product attributes aren't showing here though: http://www.clubfitting.net/snake-eyes-quick-strike-p-97.html and that is before the 'add to cart'.

patator Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Should be working now my dear !

What you could do when people try and add it to the cart, is see if the second dropdown value selected is 'empty', which means they have left the first option as "--SELECT --" , and then if it is empty, don't let them add it to the cart (go back).

patator Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Peter, That will be my next issue, I think I already found a script to do that. As you understand, my BIG problem now is when I add a product to the cart, it does'nt show the attributes selected from the pulldown menu generated by the javascript. I don't knwo what to do. :'( Pat Hi,Yes, the 'id' is important, and actually a web standard, but then M$ don't follow the standards. :lol: It's working fine in Mozilla, right hand - 5 options and left hand - 3 options.

patator Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 If I take the example of an attribute wich appears in the cart (ie : shaft rigidity), I can see : <td class="productListing-data"><table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td class="productListing-data" align="center"><a href="http://www.clubfitting.net/product_info.php?products_id=81{18}16"> 18 is the option rigidity 16 is the attribute stiff Graphite shafts with attribute appearing in the cart I can't figure out how to send the attribute id to the cart (hidden fields, function..... ?), when : the option for hand selection would be : 24 the attribute for the RH/LH would be : 44/45 the option for the loft would be :6 the attribute for the loft could be 42,74,75,76,77,78.... This options are not populated in the combobox thanks to the tep_draw_pull_down_menu but from the javascript, this is why I think the attributes are not added to the cart Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The example given, you can send (field name) id[18] and a value of 16. If you need to send other values to the cart, either add more hidden fields, or do some sql in the 'add cart' to find out more information on the actual attribute options.

patator Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 You've got it Pete ! but the question is where and how, I'm not as good at php as you are... do you have a clue on how to do it ? (how are added the attribute hidden field in the product_info.php file ?) I'm sure we'll find a solution Pat If you need to send other values to the cart, either add more hidden fields, or do some sql in the 'add cart' to find out more information on the actual attribute options. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterr Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Hi, but the question is where and how, I'm not as good at php as you are... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeh, but I'm not good at anything. :lol: do you have a clue on how to do it ?(how are added the attribute hidden field in the product_info.php file ?) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, it makes a bit hard because the site must use some URL re-writing, to rewrite PHP files to 'somefilename.html' (personally, doing that is not necessary, as some would have us believe, .... anyway off-topic a bit), but I have to assume when you "add to cart" that it is like (normal) osCommerce, it submits product_info.php Now, for the fields that are passed .............. 'products_id' is evaluated like ...... $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] and you will notice in any sql queries , it is (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] so, if you have a hidden field called 'flex' , then the code in product_info.php would be: $flex = $HTTP_GET_VARS['flex']; (You will have to change your hidden field names (like id[18] ) to a common name like 'flex' or 'product_option1' or something, so that product_info.php will always be able to evaluate it.) Your product_info.php will be modified no doubt, but lines 122 to 123 are $products_attributes_query = tep_db_query("select count(*) as total from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . " popt, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . " patrib where patrib.products_id='" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "' and patrib.options_id = popt.products_options_id and popt.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'"); $products_attributes = tep_db_fetch_array($products_attributes_query); so the array '$products_attributes' would be where all the attributes are for _that_ product. Match the attribute value retrieved from the form submission, to the value found in the array (if you don't find it, something is amiss).

patator Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 Hello I'm must be stupid. Despite your big support Peter, I can't make it work.....I tried different things but no chance.

This options are not populated in the combobox thanks to the tep_draw_pull_down_menu but from the javascript, this is why I think the attributes are not added to the cart Pat <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You need to pass the option ids (i.e. 24 for hand selection and 44 for right-handed) from the javascript into your form fields. To start, where you have name="SelHand" in your form, that's where it needs to be ID[24]. Then, when you pass the loft degrees, you also need the option attribute for them, from the js array. I didn't disect all the js there, there's a lot of it, but that's where I would start looking, try to pass the right info from the js into the form. My working example without js for 2 options looks like this in html: <td class="main" colspan="2">Available Options:</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="main">First Color:</td> <td class="main"><select name="id[1]"><option value="15">Ice Blue</option><option value="14">Peacock Blue</option><option value="16">Orchid</option></select></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="main">Second Color:</td> <td class="main"><select name="id[6]"><option value="20">--none--</option><option value="16">Orchid</option><option value="15">Ice Blue</option><option value="14">Peacock Blue</option></select></td> Where 1 is the attribute for the option "first color" and 6 for "second color", and the colors attributes are 15,16, and 17. Hope that points you in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greykher Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Ok, I think I got the js sorted out here: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- hide from older browsers function FaceAngle(RH,LH,Angle) {this.RH = RH; this.LH = LH; this.Angle = Angle; this.Attribute = Attribute; } var FaceAngleList = new Array(); FaceAngleList[0] = new FaceAngle ('44','45','14?','42') FaceAngleList[1] = new FaceAngle ('44','45','18?','74') FaceAngleList[2] = new FaceAngle ('44','45','22?','75') FaceAngleList[3] = new FaceAngle ('44','NO_LEFT','26?','76') FaceAngleList[4] = new FaceAngle ('44','NO_LEFT','30?','77') function showInfo(x) { document.getElementById('id6').value=x; } function getHands(frm) { frm.id24.options[frm.id24.options.length] = new Option('--SELECT--', 'Selection'); frm.id24.options[frm.id24.options.length] = new Option('RIGHT HAND', '44'); frm.id24.options[frm.id24.options.length] = new Option('LEFT HAND', '45'); } function getFaceAngleList(Hand) { document.getElementById('id24').value=Hand; var current = (frm.id6.value) ? FaceAngleList[frm.id6.value].name : ''; for(i = frm.id6.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { frm.id6.options[i] = null; } for(i = 0; i < FaceAngleList.length; i++) { var Face = FaceAngleList[i]; if(Face.RH == Hand || Face.LH == Hand) { frm.id6.options[frm.id6.options.length] = new Option(Face.Angle, Face.Attribute, (Face.Angle==current), (Face.Angle==current)); } } } var frm = null; function init() { frm = document.getElementById('cart_quantity'); getHands(frm); getFaceAngleList(frm.id24.value); } // --> </script> There are a lot of changes; just watch that the option and attribute id's are correct for your product database. The select statements will look like: <select id="id24" name="id[24]" onChange="getFaceAngleList(this.value)"></select> and <select id="id6" name="id[6]" onChange="showInfo(this.value)"></select> This worked in my testing, and is much cleaner, I think, than trying to pass hidden fields (not to mention easier to adapt to new products!).

greykher Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Opps, missed a change: function FaceAngle(RH,LH,Angle) {this.RH = RH; this.LH = LH; this.Angle = Angle; this.Attribute = Attribute; } should actually be: function FaceAngle(RH,LH,Angle,Attribute) {this.RH = RH; this.LH = LH; this.Angle = Angle; this.Attribute = Attribute; } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
