Dea Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 I am new to the site and having some trouble figuring out the Product Options, Values and Attributes section. What I am wanting to do is add a product such as a shirt for example. This shirt is available in 3 different colours and sizes from small to X-Large. When a customer chooses this shirt the 3 different colours appear with the sizes under each one, but the sizes are not in any kind of order. For ex. Red may show as Medium first then small, large, XL and Blue may show as Small, Medium, XL, large, etc. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I have tried to figure out how the associations are between Product Options, Values and Attributes but can't tell how the values are assigned. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
matrix2223 Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 To get what you are looking for you have to add the product attributes On the upper left coner is the option name like color; on the right of that is the name and value such as color red(to put a value for color click on the drop down box, select color, then type in red in the text box to the right); the bottom section is for the actual product it self(go to the drop down boxes; left one is the product (select ur product), middle is the option name (select the name such as color), the right one is the value (such as red); after this there will be a drop down menu create for that product with the color option of red. Repeat for other option such as size and so on You may want to check for a contrib to help ease the pain of multiple products and attributes such as this contrib http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri.../download,11162 Hope this helps
Dea Posted March 23, 2006 Author Posted March 23, 2006 This is what I have done, but I am wondering if I am assigning the wrong sizes to the wrong colours. Because each of the 3 colours (that I have listed under Product Options) have 4 sizes I had to make an entry for each under Option Values. Then I went into Products Attributes and chose my item/Product Name and then the Colour and the size. I did this for 3 colours with each sizes small to XL, so there are 12 entries. Now when I go in to view my Online Catalog it shows the 3 colours and then don't all list the sizes in order from small to XL in the drop down. I'm not sure if there is a way to make this work or if I just have to live with it the way it is.
