Product Options help needed

I'm hoping there is a contribution for what I want to do, but I can't find one. Maybe you can show me what I could use. Here's the situation:

I've got osCommerce 2.2-MS2

I'm starting to enter some some products but don't like the default layout - especially because I can't show mutliple product sizes (oz, gal, 5 gal) and prices for a single type of product.

 

See this page for how it looks today:

http://brewandgrow.com/index.php?cPath=1_17

 

This product comes in various sizes and I would like each to be shown, something more like this,

http://brewandgrow.com/gardening/additives/additives_1.html

where you can see the price for each size and put it in the cart. Qty thing is not as much an issue for me - the customer can do that later.

 

If anyone knows of a contribution that will help me get a look more like my static page, I'd really appreciate it. If someone can point me to an example of a site that has been modified to look something like what I'm shooting for, I'd appreciate that too.

 

Thanks

You might be able to use product attributes in the 'Catalog' section of admin to get the dropdown list. I've heard people complain that using attributes doesn't let them maintain stock quantities though, so I'm not sure if it's a viable option or not...

Hi Grantc

 

To get the look you want requires a fair amount of recoding of the catalog/includes/product_listing.php. It is more than possible to do it. My latest project shows that this can be done.

 

I was not able to find any contributions that would do this, so had to custom code it.

 

The product attribute listings I pulled from catalog/product_info.php and customised it.

Here's an example of a page with two attributes, the quantity affects the price, new price is shown beside the attribute in the dropdown menu. This was done with just two code modifications to stock osc to gain control of the ordering of attributes displayed, and showing the final price, as opposed to the price modifier in the attribute box.
