Base Price + Attribute is Displayed on Prod Info Page

It has been discussed but here it goes again. For products priced with attributes, have the displayed price on the product info page automatically display the total price based on the attributes selected.

Just of my own info, why has this functionality not been added? Is there something in the code that prevents it without great difficulty?

I plan on paying somewhere in the near future to code this for me, and I was wondering if he will run into any problems or difficulties.

'cause we on the Zen Cart Team are mean and nasty and want to tortue all the Zen Cart members ... :eek:

Actually, it's 'cause it's complicated to do ... and has not yet been addressed until we complete some major changes to Zen Cart first ... and there are a lot more little nuances that need to be included along the same line ... :smartass:

So basically this means:

I have a gift basket with 6 items.

Total gift basket price is $9.99
up to 6 scents in basket
min 1 max 6

I want the Price to display as $9.99 total and the customer to pick up to 6 scents (I have them as a drop down by attribute) without the total adding up to 59.94; just one time price of 9.99.

Help!

I think you are set up incorrectly ...

Have you an URL to this Product ...

This is what I am back to now, attempt 478 lol

Here's the sumamry log from start til finish:

1. added mucho attributes (the scent choices mentioned)

2. couldn't load page - not a host issue

3. fall back, re-visit setup, go with smaller scent choices in the form of 'flavor' collections.

4. set up floral collection

5. tried min/max, price by attribute, price net, with ONE drop down for all three scent choices... that direction always displayed a price of 1.66 instead of the 9.99 I needed. Plus, each scent selection added an additional 9.99 to the cart...

I forgot... my current url
http://chandlerlane.com/Shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=389&number_of_uploads=0

6. Took a cry break

7. fall back, revisit setup, stay with 'flavor' collection but use dropdown for each scent choice...

Summary!

This Product costs $9.99 correct?

You pick 1 to 3 scents, correct?

That is correct...

Why don't you just set the Product up as:
Product Price: $9.99
Price by Attribute: NO

Option Name: Scent
Option Type: Checkbox

Option Values:
Option Name: Scent
Option Value: (one by one all scents)
Default Sort Order: (however you want to display it)

Attributes Controller:
Add all scents as attributes ...
Option Name: Scent
Option Value: (pick one by one or use the handy dandy fast adder after the first scent is added)

Click the Update Sort Order ...

Now you have all the scents listed once as checkboxes ...

Customer checks the 1 to 3 they want ...

Again, only draw back is customer has to count from 1 to 3 ...

Geez oh peeeeets! My brain must be fried. That'll do it. I know I can search for hours, but really quick, how do I get my checkbox list to display horizontal and wrap? I have 71 scents...

Thank you!!!!! As soon as I am live again come sign up for your free candle!

Peek in the Options Names Manager ... click on Edit for the Option Name like Scents ... you have settings there for this, try:

Attribute Images per Row: 3
Attribute Style for Radio Buttons/Checkbox: 5

Thank you. My mistake was apparently changing the row number instead of the correct options on the same line below.

I assume I need to edit my css to add padding between images...

Last but not least,

1. I am now researching how to put a mouseover description on the attribute pic so customer can get a scent description...

2. If I want the attribute image much much smaller I am assuming I need to take all of my pics, resize and save, correct?

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

1 haven't a clue I am but a humble coder ... :smartalec:

2 attribute images are the size you make them ... too big? shrink 'em down ... :cool:

I will prevail lol. Traditionally it is just something captain obvious overlooked. Might post somewhere...

Have a great day!
