attribute radio boxes set is stuck all selected on

[hareslade]

Hi, I have created a set of attribute radio boxes for a product, intending a simple one colour selection from a list.

only one colour is set as 'selected', in the attributes manager itself.

BUT.. they are all 'on' selected on the product display, and I can see the reason is ..the code name of each button is different,
.
What did I do wrong?
The zencart code is adding the 'id' **number** of each option name shown in the attributes, e,g name="id[2]"
where the id of the attribute name is 2.

but i can't create a set of attribute names with the same name id number [obviously?]

so is this a bug, or am I not creating a set of radio buttons properly in the attributes names / values?

code on the product page is.. [note i don't display the attribute name text]

<div class="wrapperAttribsOptions">
<!-- h4 class="optionName back" --><!-- /h4 -->
<div class="back"><input type="radio" name="id[2]" value="2" checked="checked" id="attrib-2-2" /><label class="attribsRadioButton zero" for="attrib-2-2">Blue</label><br />

</div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
<!-- br class="clearBoth" / -->

<div class="wrapperAttribsOptions">
<!-- h4 class="optionName back" --><!-- /h4 -->
<div class="back"><input type="radio" name="id[8]" value="8" checked="checked" id="attrib-8-8" /><label class="attribsRadioButton zero" for="attrib-8-8">Green</label><br />

</div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
<!-- br class="clearBoth" / -->

<div class="wrapperAttribsOptions">
<!-- h4 class="optionName back" --><!-- /h4 -->
<div class="back"><input type="radio" name="id[6]" value="4" checked="checked" id="attrib-6-4" /><label class="attribsRadioButton zero" for="attrib-6-4">Brown</label><br />

</div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
.

Sounds like you have 1 Option Name with 1 Option Value rather than 1 Option Name with multiple Option Values ...

Example. you should have something like the Option Name:
Color

and for that 1 Option Name of Color, you should have multiple Option Values so you would be using:
Option Name: Color (option_id 2)
Option Value Name: Red (option_value_id 10)

Option Name: Color (option_id 2)
Option Value Name: Yellow (option_value_id 20)

Option Name: Color (option_id 2)
Option Value Name: Green (option_value_id 30)

Thanks ajeh

but I still can't see how to 'force' the same option name to have multiple values,

I have this 'Colour 1' for option name, I thought it would work but it doesn't combine the radio boxes..

1 Colour 1 Black 0 Update Delete
2 Colour 1 Blue 0 Update Delete
4 Colour 1 Brown 0 Update Delete
8 Colour 1 Green 0 Update Delete
7 Colour 1 Navy 0 Update Delete
6 Colour 1 Red 0 Update Delete
5 Colour 1 White (normal) 0 Update Delete
3 Colour 1 Yellow

Could you go to phpMyAdmin for your database on this site and look in your database for the table:
products_options

and sort on the field for:
products_options_name

are you able to do a screen shot of what you see and post it here?

hi..also I notice in the actual product's attributes page, the Colour 1 's are listed but I only can select one item from the list at a time to add/insert, I don't get multiple selection.

will do as you suggest.

as requested, image of products_options table attached i hope,
all the rows have identical Colour 1 name, sorry its hard to read

I does look like you have made multiple Option Names for Colour 1 ...

Unless you are trying to have multiple Option Names for Colour 1 ... you should just have the 1 Option Name ...

Currently, how many Products have the Attributes setup to use Color 1?
