Remove the product attribute drop-down box if only one attribute

[JNKeil]

Hi.

 

Please help.

I will like to remove the product attribute drop-down box if there is only one attribute.

When only one attribute is listed, the attribute, will be shown as normal text.!

[spooks]

Use tep_db_num_rows & dont use drop if = 1

Hi Sam.

 

Will you please tell me where and what to change in this line.

<?php echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?>

 

I believe that this is here I have to change something... :-)

 

 

Use tep_db_num_rows & dont use drop if = 1

[spooks]

yes, loop around with

if (tep_db_num_rows ($products_options_query) != 1)

[johny_boy]

yes, loop around with

if (tep_db_num_rows ($products_options_query) != 1)

Not sure if you found the answer yet, but if you didn't, I think I can help.

 

I'm assuming if there is only one attribute, you want to display it, just not in a drop-down box.

 

This is what I did (although it might not be the best way, it works):

 

Go to catalog > includes > functions > html_output.php

 

Paste this function at the bottom of the page, right before the ?>

 

function tep_draw_not_pull_down_menu($name, $values, $default = '', $parameters = '', $required = false) {

global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS;

 

if (tep_not_null($parameters)) $field .= ' ' . $parameters;

 

if (empty($default) && ( (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name]) && is_string($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name])) || (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name]) && is_string($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name])) ) ) {

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name]) && is_string($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name])) {

$default = stripslashes($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name]);

} elseif (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name]) && is_string($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name])) {

$default = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name]);

}

}

 

for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($values); $i<$n; $i++) {

$field .= tep_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '"', '\'' => ''', '<' => '<', '>' => '>'));

}

 

if ($required == true) $field .= TEXT_FIELD_REQUIRED;

 

return $field;

}

 

Now go to product_info.php

 

Find:

 

<td class="main"><?php echo $products_options_name['products_options_name'] . ':'; ?></td>

<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?></td>

 

Replace with:

 

<td class="main"><?php echo $products_options_name['products_options_name'] . ':'; ?></td>

<?php if (tep_db_num_rows ($products_options_query) != 1) { ?>

<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?></td>

<?php } else { ?>

<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_not_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?></td>

<?php } ?>

 

 

Now, if there is only 1 option associated with an attribute, it won't display the drop-down, but if there is more than one, it will.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi David,

 

I tried adding the code but it generates an SQL from this piece of code. I think this line is the problem.

 

$field .= tep_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '"', '\'' => ''', '<' => '<', '>' => '>'));

 

Can you have a look and see if it's as you have it in your site?

 

cheers,

Can you copy and paste the error your getting for me? I don't get an error on my site. Thanks.

hey, thanks for the reply :)

 

when i look at the code in dreamweaver I can see that all of this :

 

'));

}

 

if ($required == true) $field .= TEXT_FIELD_REQUIRED;

 

return $field;

}

 

?>

 

is in red, not black and blue with a bit of red.

 

henc my comment about this line maybe having an error:

 

{

$field .= tep_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '"', '\'' => ''', '<' => '<', '>' => '>'));

}

 

Also, the actual error points to the line above.

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in Shop\includes\functions\html_output.php on line 347

I see what the problem is. The post isn't displaying the html correctly. Not sure how to fix that.

 

The correct line is this:

 

for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($values); $i<$n; $i++) {

$field .= tep_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '"', '\'' => '&_#_0_3_9;', '<' => '<', '>' => '>'));

}

 

Remove the underscores from &_#_0_3_9; and you should be good to go.

 

If anyone can tell me the proper way to display code without the browser trying to interpret it, I would be most appreciative.

[apephoto222]

Im trying to do the same thing. Have you found anything out about how to do it?

[Guest]

I know this is pretty old, but I wonder if anyone still following this topic has found a solution. I have tried everything recommended and it did not work. I have v2.3.1 and found the code does not look exactly as stated above, but I made all the necessary adjustments (I think.) Let me know if anyone has found a solution! Thanks!

[foxp2]

another way to do it (no need to create a function)

change (in product_info.php) :

  <?php echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?>

with :

  <?php echo (sizeof($products_options_array) == 1 ) ? tep_draw_radio_field('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array[0]['id'], true) . $products_options_array[0]['text'] :  tep_draw_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?>

^_^

[Guest]

That's great! Merci, Laurent!

 

However, if I can do without the radio button, that would be even better. I made a little tweak to your code and erased the 'text' (' '), so all I have is a radio button... so much better than before.

 

Any other thoughts?

 

Merci beaucoup!

[foxp2]

However, if I can do without the radio button, that would be even better.

 

yes, it's possible. tep_draw_hidden_field is the key :

 

  <?php echo (sizeof($products_options_array) == 1 ) ? tep_draw_hidden_field('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array[0]['id']) . $products_options_array[0]['text'] :  tep_draw_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?>

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Yikes, I can't believe it was that easy...

[patrickluursema]

Works like a charm!

[MishaB]

Help! I need a charm, too ... :rolleyes:

 

I have a similar wish, but the solution above doesn't work for me.

 

I have 6 attributes in the drop-down field, but don't want to show them to customers.

What do I need to do that always the first attribut is selected and no drop-down menu is shown?

 

I would be thankful for any help or ideas!

[Guest]

@@MishaB,

 

Your scenario is a bit confusing. Why do you have 6 attributes but the customer is only allowed to choose 1 ? If there is only 1 to be selected, then remove the other 5 !

@@DunWeb:

I didn't wanted to write a novel (which I usually do when I want to explain something) ... :)

 

The customer always receive 6 different download links at the end of the purchase. I wanted to give them a lot of options and they can choose by themselfes in the end what works best for them. I didn't wanted to put every file in a zip-folder, so I created 6 different options which are all available at the checkout_success.php.

 

Now, I just don't want to confuse the customer before buying (because you see - there is no need for it!)

 

I want to make everything as customer friendly as possible ... :)

[roneada]

i have the remove dropdown menu with radio buttons, but your solutions not work, how to have for remove the dropdown? thanks!

[♥14steve14]

To get radio buttons working you need to add to your includes/functions/general.php

 

////
// Output a form radio menu for product info page maniac101
 function tep_draw_radio_menu($name, $values, $default = '', $parameters = '', $required = false) {
$field ='<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td class="main">';  
if (empty($default) && isset($GLOBALS[$name])) $default = stripslashes($GLOBALS[$name]);
   for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($values); $i<$n; $i++) {
  $value = tep_output_string($values[$i]['id']);
  $field .= '<input type="radio" name="' . $name . '" value="' . $value . '"';
    if ($i == 0) $field .= ' checked';
  $field .= '>' . tep_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '"', '\'' => ''', '<' => '<', '>' => '>')) . '<br />';
   }
   $field .= '</td></tr></table>';
   if ($required == true) $field .= TEXT_FIELD_REQUIRED;
   return $field;
 }

 

Then in your products_info.php change

 

tep_draw_pull_down_menu

 

to

 

tep_draw_radio_menu
