Add to Cart w/ Attributes selection on category listing

[kennyhoward]

I have searched the forum with no solution to be seen.

What I am wanting is a way to replace the "...more info" link with the drop down of product options in the category listing page.

If this is not already built in to zen-cart, and is not available in a module, could someone please point me to the file that would need to be edited in order to customize the cart to get this working. And, of course, the place in the products info page to copy that code that makes the drop down work.

Thanks in advance.

It's not already built-in.

You'll have to alter code in a number of places to deal with that, including things like the following (which I'm just guessing at off the top of my head ... I'm sure the list is way longer):
/includes/modules/product_listing.php
/includes/index_filters/*.php
/includes/main_cart_actions.php
/includes/classes/shopping_cart.php
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/ -- several files related to product listings and search results and maybe categories
and lots more, including adding logic to distinguish one product's attributes from those of another product, etc

It's not that difficult. I did it. I created a file (tpl_pid_attributes.php) based on the tpl_modules_attributes.php and included it (as an include) in "/includes/modules/product_listing.php and returned the attributes as a string to var $lc_text. $lc_text .= get_attribs($products_id);.

Since there is a products_listing quick add already in Zen Cart it just required some programming, granted there is a heavier load on MySQL seeks. The pay off is great

Would you mind providing the file and the location of the edits?
