f9Pete Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hi there, I have added the option type v1.71 contribution and have nearly cracked it bar on thing. I want to add a message/text box so that the customer can add a message for a card that they order. In the admin panel I have created a Product Option called Message with a text area Option Type and added it to the desired product in Product Attributes. When I view the product in my store the 'Message' attribute displays as a drop down box with no values. I have tried changing the Product Option to Text but with the same result. Any ideas ? Many thanks, Pete :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f9Pete Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 HELP ! Since I posted my original request I am still having real problems getting the text textarea mods to work. The text and textarea attributes are available to me within my product attributes admin panel but when I add them to a product they still display as a drop down menu but with no values !? I have run out of ideas :( Can anyone point me in the right direction as this is proving to be a show stopper. Any help is greatly appreciated, Pete :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fribhey Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 did you create this Option Value: ID = 0 (or 1 but i think it has to be the first option value ID #) Option Name = (leave blank) Option Value = TEXT then at the bottom under "Products Attributes" select the product, select the option name and select TEXT as the option value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f9Pete Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 At last a reply ! Thanks so much. So far I have spent two days trying to rectify this without success :( I have tried to create the option value below but do not have TEXT available as a value ? What order 'exactly' is an attribute set up ? 1. Create a product option? 2. Create option value? 3. Select product and assign attribute ? I have Text, Text Area etc available as an option type in Product Options, so the admin pack is definately installed. As I said before my text and textarea's are displaying as a drop down box with no values ?!? This is really getting me down now :( Any help is VERY appreciated, Pete did you create this Option Value: ID = 0 (or 1 but i think it has to be the first option value ID #) Option Name = (leave blank) Option Value = TEXT then at the bottom under "Products Attributes" select the product, select the option name and select TEXT as the option value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmstudio Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Question about updating.. we have a store that is working well, currently using option type feature 1.5. We now need the text input fields to be 48 characters instead of 32. Is the best option to update to v1.71? Will this introduce other problems.? Is it compatible with new attribute manager v4b, and attribute sorter copier v5 or will we have to change those too? Is there a simpler solution? Help!
