Product Attribute Grid

[domsmom]

Sounds like a great mod... if I could get it to work. (user error I'm sure)

Am trying to apply the grid to attributes already set-up. Is this possible, or do I need to delete those and start fresh?

I installed the files as directed, but I'm not seeing where in the admin panel it is.

Sorry if these are dumb questions... I'm obviously a newbie!

If someone out there would be kind enough to offer some hand holding, I would be greatly appreciative!!

Thanks!

Hi Domsmom,

You shouldn't need to delete your previous attributes. When I installed this mod to one of our sites, it seemed to work just fine with the existing set of attributes we had entered. If you are not seeing anything change on your product info pages, it is possible that one of the files you uploaded was put into the wrong folder. Check for any override folders and make sure you are placing them there; if you only upload them to the default directory and you had an override file there, it won't work.

Maybe you could give us an example url for one of the products that is still showing the old fashioned attribute layout?

Hi Jacdesigner,

Thanks for the tips, I'll look at the files and make sure they all made it to the right spot. Below is a link. If the link doesn't take you to a "Whoopie Assortment" page, would you mind navigating there? It's the attributes on those pages that I would like to organize in the grid.

The site is in Beta, so excuse the dust :)

Any additional insight you have would be great!!! Thank You!!

Thanks for the example. That actually looks correct to me. At least, that is how it displays on the sites where I have used it. I was under the impression that the layout reference of "grid" referred to how the attribute names display beside each quantity box, and offer a way to manage multiple attributes at once. If you have a nice attribute image, it will display to the left of the name. This is super handy for color choices.

Perhaps you expected to see the attributes in a 3 column grid instead?

If that is how it is supposed to work, I was not aware. Perhaps someone else can confirm with another example.

Hmmm, I guess I was expecting something different. I guess my next question, is there a way to line up the text boxes?

Thanks for looking!

I got this mod installed and it seems to be working fine, but I want to customize the look to fit my design. Which file do I need to edit to change the size and color of the borders? Also, I need to resize the table because it is stretching my template (800x600).

Oh, and how can I make this just display for certain products? I only need this for certain products that have many options.

Thanks!

Hello there,
In a previous post I noted that I made some edits to the file:
/modules/yourtemplatename/attributes.php:

This was where I located the table and made some manual adjustments to it, including placing a border=0.

I got this mod installed and it seems to be working fine, but I want to customize the look to fit my design. Which file do I need to edit to change the size and color of the borders? Also, I need to resize the table because it is stretching my template (800x600).

Very nice! I will go ahead and do that.

Completely off topic, but I just visited Austin the other month. What a cool city... especially all the stores along Guadalupe. I think I'll pass on hanging out with the dirty indie kids next time though.

Is there some sort of way for me to just define this to work with certain products? Otherwise if there are not combinations, the output is not functional and rather fugly.

Also, jacdesigner, what line(s) do I edit to get rid of those ugly table borders? I have not been able to get rid of them.
