How to Disable Add to Cart if no Attribute is Selected?

[Ajeh]

I was noticing that little obnoxious issue myself ...

Radio buttons are smart ... but the dropdowns are not too bright ...

We will be looking into this issue ...

UPDATE: This was fixed in v1.3.7/v1.3.8

Hi Ajeh,

I have this design as shown on attachment.

As the user click Yes, the cart should prompt buyer to fill in the text fields. How do to achieve this? As for now when buyer click yes and then add cart, the system will prompt to fill in the text section.

Dependant attributes are not part of Zen Cart at this time ...

Well any idea we can work around this by not changing the codes? Maybe mark the text as a required field and the buyer can just enter a space? What do you think?

[Ajeh]

That would only work if you split the Product into 2 Products where 1 is personalized and the other is not ...

The required Text is required or it is not ... it would not know when "not" to be required ...

So are you saying a text attribute can not be set as 'required'? That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do.

[Ajeh]

When adding the Attribute ... there is a setting for:

Attribute Required
for Text:
No Yes

Maybe I'm misunderstand something. When I add the attribute (a text field) and select yes as the Attribure Flag for Attribute Required for Text: I can still add the item to the cart with the field left blank.

I want the field to be required, what am I doing wrong?

Check if this is a problem with your template by switching to Classic Template ...

I am using the Classic Template. Here's the product I'm working with, http://custom-creations-unlimited.co...el-p-1530.html
