DamanC Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Is there a way/Contribution? I did have a search but not found anything. I am after a way to group/organise product options. At the moment, available options are listed alphabetically, I would like to change the order they are listed. Just to make it clear, I am taking about the options and not the attributes :) Perhaps in-between each set of options there could be a heading? Cheers
DamanC Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 Update with Option Name order I have been playing with this over the weekend. I have managed to get my Product options name to order by ID. The only other way I could see was to title each option name with a number prefix such as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.1 etc etc but It makes everything look a bit untidy. There is very little documentation about this on the forum, surprising really as it has been asked rather a few times but without answer. My code it probably different from everyone else's but to order by ID you have to edit product_info.php Look for $products_options_name_query At the end of this line is: "' order by popt.products_options_name " Change to: "' order by popt.products_options_id" my inspiration came from a thread way back in 2002: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...l=option++order The heading issue Im still looking for a way to break up the options. 50 options in one big clump maybe heavy on a customers eyes. Product options name accepts HTML which is nice as it allows me to add <p> and <br> which in turn shows a break in the product options. However if you had a break at the end of a product name you end up with a colon (:) in the break line, which looks naff. Ideally It would be nice to remove the colon display all together? If you add a break before the product name, it throws the cart, and everything that occurs after (invoice etc), out slightly in the fact that it puts the hyphen (-) on the break line. Anythoughts guys?
DamanC Posted June 4, 2009 Author Posted June 4, 2009 I still cant work out a 'decent' way of doing this. Another pair of eyes needed to take a loiok at it from outside the box :)
