demogoria Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Hey hey everybody. This seems like a simple task, but not sure how to accomplish it. I am not completely sure how this works, but I am selling shirts, hoodies, long sleeves, hats, etc. If there is a product available in multiple sizes, I would like to display a drop-down list of the sizes in the product listing before they hit ADD TO CART so they can choose the size they want. I understand that I can modify the products "attributes" to get the list, but that only displays in the product_info.php which I will NOT be needing. I want the drop-down list that appears THERE to be listed on the listing page. Furthermore, lets say I want to keep up with how many S, M, L and XL shirts I have of each product. Does it handle that? Are there any contributions out there? It's hard to weed through all of those. We have so many talanted people out there! Anyway, thanks a bunch for any help.

Nacer Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I did that for a customer and the idea is as follow: Start by doing it the usual way from admin, this way osc generate the code and the sql tables necessary, your role will be to copy that code wherever you want it appear.

demogoria Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 That was my problem actually. That wouldn't be a problem but the attributes are not listed in the product listing admin section. I only have image, manufacturer, model, name, price quantity, weight, buy now column, display cat filter, and location of prev next bar. Has there been a more recent version that lists more?

demogoria Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 *bump*? This is a major problem for me. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy at oddly enough Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 What Nacer was suggesting was that you find the relevant bit of code in product_info.php, and copy and paste it into the file where you want the drop downs displayed (somewhere in index.php, if you can get it to work). Also there is a contrib that adds inventory management to attributes, might be qtpro if I remember correctly. Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy I was looking into this as well and I could not find anything, but I did copy my products and made use EP to make it easier to upload a lot of products. I also found later on that it worked better to have it loaded as different items so that I can keep track of my stock easier.

demogoria Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 Thanks a bunch for the help so far from all of you. First off, I went ahead and installed QT Pro since I will be needing it anyway. Also, I did consider, Pixy, using seperate items for sizes, but REALLY don't want to go that route. I think my users might end up just being confused. I have looked at the product_info.php and found out where it has the drop down list, but I don't know how to get it to the product_listing.php in includes/modules/. There really has to be an easier way of doing this. It seems like this would have been a common "problem" for OS Commerce users. It's quite simple really (for someone, not I, who knows PHP well, haha.) I just want this drop down list to be on the product-listing.php page. Surely some guru knows. :) Hellllp! Thanks again!

Kathryn Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hi Demogoria, I'm loking to achieve the same thing (ish) and there is a contrib that fits the bill. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...master+products V2 is in beta but will be a full release in the next week or two. I'll be waiting for the release. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demogoria Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 I could hug ya Kathryn! Thanks a bunch! I think that is going to be exactly what I needed. Have you used the original release at all? Or any of the updates? I just want to see how it is/works, etc. I think I will wait for the release as well. Where'd you hear two weeks? Is there a forum out there about this? Thanks soooo much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demogoria Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 Ok well maybe I was wrong. It would have worked, but it still doesn't display the info on the products_listing.php like I wanted. Since I am going to completly cut out the "details" section, I can't have the info there. Oh well! Thanks though. I think this will come in handy, no doubt. Any other suggestions out there?

Hey Demogoria, My original thread for this is http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=188597&hl= I haven't installed it yet personally - I'm still waiting on the new release. I'm sorry to hear it's not working how you'd like it to be. It's been about 5 days already so it shouldn't be too long before the new one is on the contribs list. I hope the new version will be able to accomplish what we're both looking for! Let me know if you get in before I do :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
