Drop Down Boxes?

[Guest]

Hello everyone, I am trying to figure out everything about OSCommerce as I develop my online store. I have a questions about options in a drop down box.

 

When someone clicks on a item, and that item is available for 3 different models, how do I get a drop down box for them to select their model specific item, instead of making 3 different seperate items?

 

Thank you for your help.

You could use attributes to do that.

 

Go to your admin panel>>catalog>>products attributes.

 

You set up the attributes in the top section, then assign them to the product in the bottom section.

 

Then a dropdown box will appear on the product page, where the customer can select the (model) attribute they need.

Ok, I figured out the drop boxes, but now I am stuck becaquse the options aren't sorted in the drop box, numerically, I shows 7in, 7.5in, 8in, 8.5in, 9.5in, 9in. How od I get the 9.5 and 9 to swap?

 

Thanks
