Forcing Attributes

May 31, 2004

I am selling clothing on my oscommerce website and have setup attributes (sizes) in all products.

The first one says "size" and the others are ranges from S - XXXL.

For the customers that dont see the attribute down the buttom, how do i make it so that it pops up an error saying that they didnt pick a size?

Im getting fedup emailing customers back asking wat size they require..

Thanks

This is what I have done just to put a bandaid on it until I can figure out how to run an if statement against the attributes dropdowns.

In your products_info.php on or around line 37 in your <head> tag section

place this code:

//message to alert customer to attributes
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function popupWindow(url) {
 window.open(url,'popupWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,res
izable=no,copyhistory=no,width=100,height=100,screenX=150,screenY=200,top=150,lef
t=150')
}

function MM_popupMsg(msg) { //v1.0
 alert(msg);
}
//-->
</script>

Your code didnt seem to make any difference. Or did I place it in the wrong location?

You have this:

function popupWindow(url) {

window.open(url,'popupWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,res

izable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=100,height=100,screenX=150,scre

enY=150,top=150,left=150')

}

//--></script>

and below again you have this:

//message to alert customer to attributes

<!--

function popupWindow(url) {

window.open(url,'popupWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,res

izable=no,copyhistory=no,width=100,height=100,screenX=150,screenY

=200,top=150,left=150')

}

function MM_popupMsg(msg) { //v1.0

alert(msg);

}

//-->

</script>

It appears you have pasted it twice.

See below for instructions.

****Find the below block of code:

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

:::::::::::::::::::::::

//right after the above section in your catalog/product_info.php page place this script:

//Pop window to alert customers to attributes selections

<!--

function popupWindow(url) {

window.open(url,'popupWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,res

izable=no,copyhistory=no,width=100,height=100,screenX=150,screenY=150,top=250,lef

t=150')

}

function MM_popupMsg(msg) { //v1.0

alert(msg);

}

//-->

</script>

//So it should look like this:

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

//Message alert to warn customer of necessary attribute selections

<!--

function popupWindow(url) {

window.open(url,'popupWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,res

izable=no,copyhistory=no,width=100,height=100,screenX=150,screenY=150,top=250,lef

t=150')

}

function MM_popupMsg(msg) { //v1.0

alert(msg);

}

//-->

</script>
