Text Attribute not working

[Taz78857]

HI there, I have just set up a new site and am trying to add text attributes. I can set up dropdowns, radio buttons and checkboxes ok.
I have no Option Names or Option Values set up. When I set up the Option Name as text I am unable to go to Product Attributes and I get the error message "Warning: No Option Values have been defined". If I set up a dummy option value I can then go to Attributes but the "Text only........." is not shown in the Option Value dropdown. Any clues? Using latest version of ZenCart
Thanks

The text attribute needs no value set just the name as text
Then you can in the option name manager find it and select "edit" and set the variables

Thanks Kobra.

I just found another (same) solution which has fixed the problem


Re: TEXT field attribute not showing
Can you look at the database table products_options_values and brows to see if you have a products_options_values_id for 0 ...

This is needed for TEXT attributes to work as this is their products_options_values_id ...

If you do not have an products_options_values_id of 0 that is set for TEXT, you need to add that back in with:
Code:

INSERT INTO products_options_values (products_options_values_id, language_id, products_options_values_name) VALUES (0, 1, 'TEXT');
