    Default Download and attributes?

    I am in the education field for this little exercise in frustration. We sell a download of homework questions/answers. Obviously we cover more than one grade.

    Is there a way to have the customer select 4th grade from an attribute drop down and zencart sell him the correct homework file?

    Assuming there are files titled:
    3rd-grade-hw.zip
    4th-grade-hw.zip
    5th-grade-hw.zip
    6th-grade-hw.zip

    If it is possible, how do I associate the drop down selection with the correct down load file?

    If this cannot be done, how can I list all the grades on one summary page, so the customer can click add to cart for this one and that other one?

    Thanks
    Jim

    You could best do this with the Attributes using an Option Name such as:
    Grade Level

    Option Values:
    3rd Grade
    Default Sort Order 30

    4th Grade
    Default Sort Order 40

    5th Grade
    Default Sort Order 50

    6th Grade
    Default Sort Order 60

    Select Your Grade Level
    Default Sort Order 0


    The go to the Attributes Controller and add each Grade Level with its download filename ...

    Add the Option Value for:
    Select Your Grade Level
    Display Only YES
    Default YES

    What this will do is force the customer to pick a correct solution and not accidentally pick one of the other grades just because it comes up first ...

    You can read more on Attributes in the Tutorials/FAQ on a search for:
