Attributes + Different Part Numbers

[bottyz]

Hi all,


I'm struggling a bit with the attributes feature. I have rolls of material avialable at different set lengths.. ie 10 metres, 30 metres and 50metres. Each length however has a different part number.

So white material at 10metres is White-10 but the same material at 30metres is White-30.

Is there anyway to make the part number change accordingly depending on which length the customer chooses?


Thanks for any help in advance!

Dependant attributes are not supported by default and their is no faci;ity for adding more than one model number

It would require a good bit of custom code to implement this

Attribute Problem
I am new to the community so please excuse me if I am not exactly correct in my approach. I need assistance with Attributes in Zen Cart 1.3.8v. I have searched numerous threads but saw nothing close to my situation.
I am trying to set up comment boxes under the image of each product item on the site that would allow the customer to personalize the product after putting it in their cart. Example: if they order 6 of one product item and/or order 8 different product items, I want them to be able to personalize each item in their cart with exactly what they want to write. How exactly can I do that? Thanks so much in advance.

To be able to do this will require much custom code

if they order 6 of one product item and/or order 8 different product items,

8 different can be done as eack is a product
6 of one with each a different added text is an issue

I followed the FAQ instructions of 'How do I add attributes to my products?", and thought everything was working well until I tested the results on my site. These are error messages I received:

Is it possible for this to work by modifying the "TEXT(this does not get an option value)" under Options Name Manager?

6 of one product item ... personalize each item

What you have there is not 6 of one item, but one each of 6 differently engraved items. If the actual item has one engraving field, your product should have one text field. Each different one the customer orders will show in the cart as a distinct item with its text. If they want two of one text, they can order that by selecting qty 2 when adding to cart.

But my problem is that I get multiple error messages when I tested the attributes on my site. So it appears that none of the attributes are working correctly. I really need to get this fixed so I can open the site. Please advise if you can. Thanks!

newby1,

Provide a link to your site...

We need to see the actual display for clues, and probably have you tell us what each attribute's settings are.
