I'm having the same problem, might be due to one of the add-ins. What is the file name where I can go see if I over wrote something?

Thanks,

What do you mean a file to look and tell if you have overwritten something? The only things that come to my mind is to go into the control panel of the host and review the restoration area to see what file(s) are/were new(er) and possibly restore those files. Otherwise download the whole program and use winmerge with my local copy to see what is different.otherwise, what has been changed, has been changed. :/

I don't want to have to compare EVERY SINGLE FILE to see what is different from the OOB version. I want to know the file name so I can just compare that file, and I prefer Beyond Compare to Winmerge.

That's fine not to want to have to compare all of the files, but there are 2000+ files associated with ZC, when you ask which file to compare, we need to know more about what problem it is that you are trying to get resolved to be able to identify a file. The problem/solution addressed above has nothing to do with a file problem but a database setup issue when looking/considering attributes. The answer provided addresses making selections to force a visitor to pick something other than the default. There is no "file" involved. So please explain further what it is you are trying to resolve that might be file related.

As I've 'played' with this further, it works as expected when using a drop down box but NOT when using radio buttons.


mc12345678, go to the link I provided and add it to a cart. There is no warning that I have not selected a scent. This is what I believe is not working as expected. I believe that all the database settings are correct but that maybe there is something not being checked when the system queries the input data, therefore it is not finding fault with the fact there is no scent selected. I thought that maybe one of the files that is running the SQL statement may have been changed by one of the add-ins I installed. I'm just looking for the file that is doing that checking, and believe one of the mods will have a pretty good idea what that file is so I can check it. And if the file has not been changed, I'd like to know what to change so that I get what I'm looking for.

Bottom Line: I want to require my customers to select a scent. I don't want a default as this is just a bad as choosing nothing if it's not what they want.

Thank you for that, it makes a lot of sense. So, to "reproduce" what you have, if you do not select the "first" attribute as a default, then yes the customer will be able to add the product without actually making a selection. The default option is the third from the left option in the attributes controller. I see that it is set as read only; however, it does not appear to be set as the default. By having both checked, they will not be able to add the item to the cart until one of the other "active" options is chosen.
