Dropdown Box

Hi

Is their any way to install a dropdown box where the customer can select multiple items from, for example on my site i sell polythene tunnels and sometimes i would like to offer so many packets of seeds for free with the tunnel, but what i am looking for is a dropdown box with all the seed varities listed where the buyer can select what packets they would like i.e

 

DROPDOWN BOX

seed 1

seed 2

seed 3

seed 4

seed 5

 

For example customer would then select a packet of seed 1 and seed 2 from the same dropdown box in one go, which would then show up on the order email, hope this all makes sense, i have tried in product attributes but it only allows 1 item each time per dropdown box

Thanks in advance for any help

Philip,

 

You can use attributes to offer the selections.

 

Set up would be

 

Your first selection:

 

seed 1

seed 2

seed 3

 

Your Second Selection:

 

seed 1

seed 2

seed 3

Hi Chris i see what you mean like that but that way only allows me one packet of seed per dropdown, so in effect i am doing each packet of seed in attributes twice once for no and once for yes this then gives a dropdown down box for one seed with yes or no

Where as i would prefer to have all seeds listed in the one dropdown and the customer can select from this one dropdown, any ideas but your one is possible its just more work to set up

Thanks

I think I can actually help!

 

I was looking for exactly the same thing, and I figured it out.

 

Go to your "admin".

Click on "catalog", then "products attributes".

It is intimidating at first, but don't panic.

It will probably still be set up for the default (color, size, model, etc)

In "Product Options", edit "color" and change it to "your first selection". Or use step 7 to insert a new one.

In "Option values", in step 17 use the pulldown to find "your first selection" from above. Insert "seed1". Again for "seed2". Etc.

In "Products Attributes", find your product (polythene tunnels?), then "your first selection", then "seed1", and set it to "yes".

...then "no"...

...then "seed2" and "yes"...

"seed2" and "no"...

etc...

 

I think you can figure it out from there. I'm still a little fuzzy, but I'm experimenting with it.

 

Example: http://<yourURL>/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2 shows their default drop-downs!

 

Good luck. I hope this helps.

As far as My knowledge goes such a module does not exist for oscommerce.

 

If you modify code this is possible.

 

I recommend use of checkbox rather then drop downs in this case.

Hi Thanks for all replies to date i have figured out how to get all seed items into one dropdown box, which is great, the customer can select only one item, is their anyway that the customer can select multiple items like you see on some dropdown boxes by pressing ctrl etc

sfrasher you have the idea on your link for the seeds where the customer can select packets

Satish can you explain more on a checkbox and how to accomplish and place on item page

 

take a look at the page to date http://gardenplantsbypost.com/oscom/product_info.php/cPath/39/products_id/108 the dropdown is at the bottom of the page
