Attributes - forcing a customer to choose an attribute

[johngroves]

Hi,

 

Has anyone come across a simple way of forcing a customer to choose a specific attribute from the drop down list in the product description in order to reduce incorrect orders?

 

Regards,

 

John

I'm bumping this topic... it's a great question and one I just came to the Forum looking for this exact answer !!

 

Anyone have any suggestions?

 

I'm looking for a way to force a customer to pick a color on a product.

 

Tx for your help.

Just installed Dynamic force attribute selection (http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5208) on our website at www.custompowertools.co.uk and it is just what we needed!

Makes no change to products that don't have attributes but adds a "select option" entry for all attributes and if the buyer does not change the option when they click on buy now, they get a warning. Even tells them which needs updating. Perfect - Thanks Mika Alhainen, Lildog and wilderfalk!
