Guest Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Patrick, There is a contribution called "Option Type feature" (I think). It is available in the contributions section. I have it installed on MS1 and it works well. It is an easy install however. :?

Guest Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 Ah Patrick......It should be your catalog/includes/configure.php and all you need to add is this part: // CLR 020605 defines needed for Product Option Type feature. define('PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT', 0); //TO DO: move to configuration table in db. define('PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_TEXT', 1); //TO DO: move to configuration table in db. define('TEXT_PREFIX', 'txt_'); //TO DO: move to configuration table in db. define('PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_VALUE_TEXT_ID', 0); //Must match id for user defined "TEXT" value in db table TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_VALUES
TaP Posted June 17, 2003 Author Posted June 17, 2003 the top section is the table from mYSQL and the second part is the config file http://www.fastshafts.com

TaP Posted June 17, 2003 Author Posted June 17, 2003 yes...i have all of that done...and i appreciate your help so much...but its still a dropdown...? http://www.fastshafts.com
Guest Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 Okay.....I'm now stumped......Did you chose TEXT from the Options Values section AFTER you clicked the insert in the Products Options section?
TaP Posted June 17, 2003 Author Posted June 17, 2003 ok im going to delete all attributes and then add them again...how do i readd the TEXT option? http://www.fastshafts.com
Guest Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 I don't understand? What the customer puts in the box will come out on the order.
TaP Posted June 17, 2003 Author Posted June 17, 2003 the box is just a dropdown for some reason...i want it to be a text input....so they actually type what they want.... http://www.fastshafts.com
TaP Posted June 17, 2003 Author Posted June 17, 2003 no one has any idea what my problem might be? http://www.fastshafts.com
