    Default Product color options

    I am setting up another store and I cam across a first for me with Zen Cart... Is there a way to add a color options drop down menu for certain items?

    By this I mean item XYZ can come in Blue, Red or Black. They are all the same price.

    eg:
    XYZ (Blue) $10
    XYZ (Red) $10
    XYZ (Black) $10

    I assume if it can be done it is somewhere in the 'Catalog' tab in Admin.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    I am also assuming that it could be under 'Attributes' but I could be way off. I usually use EP for store uploads and population.

    You can set the Product Price to 10.00 and just add Attributes for:
    Option Name: Color
    Option Value: Blue
    Sort Order: 10

    Option Name: Color
    Option Value: Red
    Sort Order: 20

    Option Name: Color
    Option Value: Black
    Sort Order: 30

    and you might want to add an additional Option Value to make the customer pick the right color:
    Option Name: Color
    Option Value: Pick a valid color
    Sort Order: 0
    Display Only: YES
    Default: YES

    Or, you can use the
    Price by Attribute YES

    and set the Product Price to 0 and set the Price on the individual Attributes ...

    I do have one question. Do I have to add them each indivdually per item or can I link the attribute to items in a large group? I have about 150 items which need the same color options for each item.

    Once you make 1 Product with all of the Attributes ... you can use the Copy to Product -- or-- Copy to Category for copying to a Category of Products each of the Attributes on the 1 Product that you made ...

    You will see these Copy buttons at the top of the Attributes Controller when you look at the Product with your Attributes ...
