Forcing Attribute selection int Add To Cart Box

[onesickpup]

Using Zen Cart 1.3.9h
I have been searching for days, going thru code, and altering mine, with no success.
I want to force the select attribute inside of the add to cart area, as in These 2 sites.... http://www.sporthorseproducts.com/cotton-day-sheet.html and http://www.elitehorsewear.com/store/...products_id=21 .

I have tried altering public_html\includes\templates\CUSTOM\templates\tpl_product_info_display.php with no results in the display, but the code changes and appears it should work. PLEASE HELP!!!

My website, with attributes is...... http://greatlakesherbalife.com/index...products_id=66

are you talking about if I click on the add to cart I will get a warning on the page and say, You have not selected an attribute value for packaging...

Right now if you click on add to cart it chooses 90 tables by default..

I'd suggest changing to dropdown and adding Please Select as default and for display only.
Set Please Select to order 10 and the other selections to 20 and 30 respectively.
All done in the Attribute Controller and should look like the image I posted in http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99809

If you want to force a conscious choice for an attribute and not just have a default, you can add a dummy option value called "Select" or whatever, and make it "default" and "display only". This will give a warning if they attempt to add to cart without choosing some real value.

I understand I have a default value set, I searched for that too, as a temporary option, but I still want my options to be inside the add to cart box, as is shown in the other 2 websites I mentioned.

Okay, we were thinking you were after the "force attribute selection" rather than "force the attribute display to be in the add to cart box"...
The sporthorse site actually has the add to cart inside the attributes wrapper. The elitehorsewear site has what I would consider to be the normal way of doing this: a new wrapper div that encloses both the attributes and the add to cart.

Add <div id="attribAddBox"> just before <div id="productAttributes">, and just after the closing </div> of <div id="cartAdd">, add another </div> to close the new attribAddBox div.
Then style #attribAddBox {} in your stylesheet as desired.

I cannot seem to find the file I need to alter. I used the look up in all files tool, and only found one file, doesn't seem to be the one I need to edit.

\includes\templates\CUSTOM\templates\tpl_product_info_display.php

If you have the name of your custom template folder where you say CUSTOM, the changes you make should take effect. If they do not, you are not getting the edited file uploaded correctly. And tpl_product_info_display.php is the file to edit.

Glenn,

Add <div id="attribAddBox"> just before <div id="productAttributes">, and just after the closing </div> of <div id="cartAdd">, add another </div> to close the new attribAddBox div.
Then style #attribAddBox {} in your stylesheet as desired.

There is no <div id="productAttributes"> in this tpl_product_info_display.php file..
But it is found default_template/ templates/ tpl_modules_attributes.php
