Force customers to choose from the "Available Options"

[raindays]

I have customers passing right by the options of the products and going directly to the payment area I recieve payment without knowing what they ordered.

 

How do I stop this from happening?

 

I would appreciate any help, thanks.

If you want to force your customers to select an option from your product options menu, you could use a contribution I uploaded today(Enforce Attribute Select) - you can find it at http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3891

 

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much.

I will do my best to install it.

 

I'll be back :)

Well due to my vast experience with this cart (<-- insert sarcasm here) The product_info.php page is now coming up blank/empty.

Is this a permissions problem or something else?

[Wizard]

No, you don't need to change any permissions. Can you paste your product_info.php page here so I will see how you edited the code?

I'm all ready checking a script to make sure something else was checked before adding to the cart

 

I've got the check_conditions and now the validate script.

 

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
 function check_conditions() {
if( document.forms["cart_quantity"].products_accept &&
	document.forms["cart_quantity"].products_accept.checked == false ) {
	alert("You must agree to the terms and conditions to add this product to your cart");
	return false;
}
return true;
 }
//--></script>

 

<script language="javascript"><!--
// az - Start Enforce Attribute Select
function validate() {
if (cart_quantity.elements['id[1]'].value == 5) {
alert('Please select an option for the menu.');
cart_quantity.elements['id[1]'].focus();
return false;
}
}
// az - End Enforce Attribute Select
//--></script>

 

is there a way to make both scripts work together?

 

<?php echo tep_draw_form('cart_quantity', tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=add_product'), 'post', 'onSubmit="return check_conditions();"'); ?>

 

<?php echo tep_draw_form('cart_quantity', tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=add_product'), 'post', 'onSubmit="return validate(this);"'); ?>

.

Since you can call only one function in the onSubmit you will need to join both functions into one. You could try doing the following for example:

 

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
 function check_conditions() {
if( document.forms["cart_quantity"].products_accept &&
	document.forms["cart_quantity"].products_accept.checked == false ) {
	alert("You must agree to the terms and conditions to add this product to your cart");
	return false;
}

			else if (cart_quantity.elements['id[1]'].value == 5) {
			alert('Please select an option for the menu.');
			cart_quantity.elements['id[1]'].focus();
			return false;
			}

return true;
 }
//--></script>

 

and have the body of the file have the following code

<?php echo tep_draw_form('cart_quantity', tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=add_product'), 'post', 'onSubmit="return check_conditions(this);"'); ?>

 

I haven't tested the above code so I'm not sure if it needs any additional tweaking to make it work, but at least you'll have a direction as to how to modify the script.

That worked great. Thank you very much!

 

Now one more quick question.

 

In some case I have more then one option for them to choose.

 

Would I just add a new check like this?

 

 

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
 function check_conditions() {
if( document.forms["cart_quantity"].products_accept &&
	document.forms["cart_quantity"].products_accept.checked == false ) {
	alert("You must agree to the terms and conditions to add this product to your cart");
	return false;
}

			else if (cart_quantity.elements['id[1]'].value == 5) {
			alert('Please select an option for the menu.');
			cart_quantity.elements['id[1]'].focus();
			return false;
			}
			else if (cart_quantity.elements['id[2]'].value == 6) {
			alert('Please select an option for the menu.');
			cart_quantity.elements['id[2]'].focus();
			return false;
			}
return true;
 }
//--></script>

Well I went ahead and tried it and it worked!

 

 

Thanks again for your help!
