Product Attributes : Help

[pynchon]

Hi

 

I am building a shop that sells glasses (spectacles) and need a bit of help and advice in regard to the attributes.

 

All glasses sold have a few colour variations ... but I have decided to put each variation in as seperate products. The problem arises when it comes to customising the glasses:

 

1. There will be a frame size option ... ideally as radio buttons

 

2. 10 lens variations ... ideally as radio buttons

 

3. A prescription area ... these would be drop-downs giving an array of values to fill the necessary prescription.

 

 

Only the 10 lens variations would have monetary values attached and these values would be the same for all glasses. The only one of the above options that would vary from product to product would be the frame size option.

 

 

I have looked at the 'Option Type Feature' .. and this looks promising ... but I was hoping that I would be able to hard code these options into the product_info.php file so that the attributes would become available for all products.

Is that possible to do and still be able to pass all values into the shopping cart when the selections have been made.

 

Many thanks for any advice or help given ... and possibly a free pair of specs :)

what about using a contribution like this

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3610

 

that way you can easily add multiple attribute 'sets' to each product, plus the attributes that will change for each product.
