ogary Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 I'm trying to set up an online bookstore and need to have specific product attributes for each item I list. I want to be able to input: -title -contributor(s) -ISBN/UPC# -Binding -Publisher -Pub Date -Ages -Publisher Marketing I go to the Product Options page in the admin set up and input all these. I then for some like "binding" I add the three different "option name" of "paperback," "mass market," "hardcover," and so on. My problem is that nothing I do on this page shows up in the "Categories/Product" page when I click "new product to input". It takes me back to what it's always been, and does not show the inputs I need. I've been searching the forums for a while now but cannot find anything that would tell me what to do... I'd soooo appreciate any help on how I can set this up. Olgy Quote ________________________________________________________ Children Come First...because they're our greatest treasure!

OceanRanch Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Wiki documentation will help on how to establish a set of "drop down" choices (i.e. product attributes) that your CUSTOMER will choose from while in your store. http://wiki.oscommerce.com/docsAdminCatAtt However, if I understand you correctly, your not trying to set up customer choices but rather a mechanism for you to input a single value for each of the options for each of your products. This will be quite cumbersom using product attributes but should work. However, I think what your trying to do is set up a template like product description that will allow to add your products and configure the description information for each product. It might be easier for you just to set up a single product as a base and copy that product in the admin section when you set up a new product and just input the descriptive information into your template for each product. That way the product descriptions and your options would not be in a single entry drop down menu. You could set up a nice looking HTML table with nice formatting and colors/fonts that you coould use as a base for each products description. Try the WYSIWYG editor in the following contribution to really sex up your descriptive information. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1347 HTH Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogary Posted December 28, 2003 Author Share Posted December 28, 2003 This is what I'm trying to accomplish on my product pages..but do it automatically. Right now it's all html coding... http://childrencomefirst.com/shop/product_...?products_id=29 Is there a way I can make a template for product input that would have the items I have in bold there??? That's what I'm looking/hoping for. Olgy Quote ________________________________________________________ Children Come First...because they're our greatest treasure!
