gevork Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hi Everyone, I've had a real look around now to see If I can add product options (set by attributes in the back end) to appear in the product category by each individual product. I've got the product listing in a grid style at the moment but was wondering If there would be a line of code or option to make the drop down with options appear along with the buy now. Many thanks in advance!! :lol: G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks in advance!! :lol: G I dont understand what you are getting at. You want product attributes in the product category, or are you wanting aquick way to add you attributes to similar products that are in the same category? I dont know of one where you can click in admin and say assign all the products in this category with this attributes/options. although it could be very useful for some. but you could use easy populate with attributes and upload them all, this would probably be quickest way I can think of. or you can install attributes manager I think its called where you can create a group of attributes in a template and then manually select the same template for each product.(time consuming if you have a lot of products). Getting better with mods but no programmer am I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooks Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I think what you mean is you want product options to be included in the product listing. Thats a complex task, but its done in Product Listing Enhancements, Thumbnails & Manufacturer Headings http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6051 so it'll be easy for you!!

gevork Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks so much for your quick replies! :thumbsup: Sorry I didnt make it clear. I was looking to add the option drop down box Where the "buy now" buttons or "more info" buttons are displayedm by each product when a category is clicked. Basically I was wanting the product options dropdown to appear by each product in the category page. I have already assigned product options and variables to my products, and the dropdown appears above the buy now when you click on the actual product page... What I would like to do is have the dropdown option available for every product displayed in the category page so a customer can choose an option to add to cart from there without clicking into the product page. I took a look at the contribution that you posted a link to spooks, i am a bit worried that the contribution i installed to control the product view will mean that another contribution will not install easily over the top of it. Would it be a case of a simple line of code at a certain point in the category page? Thanks in advance, G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are talking of product listing!! product listing has nothing to do with product info (product view ) Would it be a case of a simple line of code at a certain point in the category page? I said Thats a complex task that hasn't changed since!!! Sam Remember, What you think I ment may not be what I thought I ment when I said it.

gevork Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi Sam, Other than your contribution are there any others out there that would perform this task that you know of? I have very little programming knowledge, I only know how to copy and paste chunks! If it is complex I guess I will need a programmer to perform this task for me. Thanks, G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, G very few & i believe none others with options plus multibuy. Install the contrib & try it, most part is replacing files, its easy ish. U can always revert to your backup.

Hi Sam, I have installed your contribution! thanks it seemed not to gruelling compared to many others and the quick install worked a dream. I have played around with the product listing options but cant seem to get the buy now button to appear next to the product options so the customer can choose the product on the product listing page and add it to cart without going into the product page. the site is; my website i will start again fresh, otherwise is there a combination of settings in the back end. Display buy now is set to ON and buy now and details button is ON plus all other settings have been tried ON and OFF but the buy now button never appears! all else seems to work.

spooks Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Did'nt read the docs & it wont work by guessing!!

I have played around with the product listing options but cant seem to get the buy now button to appear next to the product options so the customer can choose the product on the product listing page and add it to cart without going into the product page. First all display field position values must have values, not 'on' ie Display Buy Now column = 6 thats standard osc (read the osc docs) 2nd with that set correct set Product Listing Buy Now / Details Button to the type you want, ie Buy Now 3rd if the product fails to have required params (ie no stock or zero price) a details button is displayed, again read the contrib docs. If you you dont read/research you'll be messing around forever!! PS the contrib has a support thread, I usually ignore any queries asked elsewhere.

Dear Sam, The products must not be appearing because my products are all $0.00 with product options that add the true value of the product (i sell different cuts of fabric and no size has a base price). Is there a way of turning off the feature that wont display the buy now if price is set to $0.00? I will post this in the support section also, thanks again your contribution has already improved the looks of my website! G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
