Drop Down Menus in Flexible Product Listing

[niccol]

I love the flexible_product_listing mod. What i wanted to do is have the attributes listed with the price and 'buy now' button on the product listing page.

The advantage is that a customer can complete the purchase without having to go to the product_info page. Just one less click in the process. There is an extra 'more info' button in the product description to make sure people know that more information is available.

At the moment (June 7, 2009 ) you can have a look at what I have got at: http://www.starlessriver.com/shop/in...=index&cPath=1. But the site is still in development so it may well change. Certainly some of the layout needs attention at the moment.

It requires that flexible product listing is installed first and much of the code is based on Options on Product Listing v2.0. So, a big thanks to all the people who have worked hard on those mods. Just doing this little hack taught me how much work goes in. Thanks guys.

It has to be said that this is very much work in progress at the moment so it will change. Anyone who wants to try it please go ahead, but please, please, make sure you are backed up. The files are all overrides so no huge damage can be done. Also, a lot of the work happens in product_listing.php so if you have other mods that have already changed that, other than flexible_product_listing, proceed with care.

It works for the admin settings I have chosen and my whims but I am sure there are lots of circumstances and other admin settings that may break it. Let me know and I will try to fix it.


There is a read-me in the zip file that will guide you though installation.

Have fun
