Product Attributes

[Guest]

I am trying to set product attributes for my product,

When I have a list of them, it defaults to the highest price first.

How do I get it to default to the -select- or standard $0. choice.

 

When it defaults to the highest one, ppl dont always read,, to see whats goin on,, they just see the price in cart is higher than what the catalog had shown. and they stop the order process.

 

Anyone have any ideals?

There is no sort in the standard oscommerce of the attributes. You are at the mercy of mysql and that is random at best.

 

Try a contribution like attributes sort.... or check with the contributribution section for others that might be better suited for you.

Hey Tom,

Tom here again.

 

Actually,, I have two attribute mods installed .

 

New Att. Manager

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1119

 

and

 

Prod. Att. - Option type manager.

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,160

 

and under either, i cant find a sort order.

 

not sure if i am missing something, or just still not what i wanted,, lol

Thanks for the reply

Try the contrib listed in my sig or take a look for Kikoleppards Attribute Suite to get the sort functionalitly.

Hey Iggy,

 

thanks for the reply.

 

Looking at that option, Attributes Manager.

it has three columns.

 

the first, is a checkbox to select the option itslef.

the second is the value price of it.

and the third is the prefix, - +

 

no option there for sort order.

 

or maybe there has been an update,, i'll check that.

 

Thanks for the input.

Nope. Attribute Manager doesn't have a sort option but this contrib works nicely with it.
