Wrap DIV around attributes

[Nick1973]

Hi there, I'm looking for a way to wrap a DIV around several attributes as I want to create a button that will open and close a div with extra options inside it on my product page. Normally the DIV would be hidden until someone clicks a button. There will be attributes outside the closed DIV and also inside the closed DIV.

So you would have something like this:

Print Options (FIRST SET OF ATTRIBUTE OPTIONS):
Full Colour Single Sided
Full colour black & white reverse
Full colour both sides

<a href="OPENDIVBUTTON">Open</a>
<div id="MYHIDDENATTRIBUTESDIV">Finishing Options: Option 1, Option 2, Option 3</div>

Upload (LAST ATTRIBUTE OPTION)

I came across some code which says it targets an attribute name but I am unsure how to use it. This would enable me to start a div before an attribute name and end it where I wanted.

This is the code:

<?php if (stristr($attributes_values->fields['products_options_name'],'MYFIRSTATTRIBUTENAME')) { ?><div id="MYHIDDENATTRIBUTESDIV"><?php } ?>

<?php if (stristr($attributes_values->fields['products_options_name'],'MYLASTATTRIBUTENAME')) { ?></div><?php } ?>

Slightly a different tact to this, but there is already a way to reference attributes without wrapping them in an additional div tag. It would require a sort of "consistency" to be considered across the implementation, but...

So let's assume that an attribute to be controlled is designated as option name 1, option value 127, then the following css would hide the button and the label associated with it. If this could be worked into your javascript, you would simply need to identify for the button to do the toggling, what attribute options to control at the specific detail necessary to get the end result. This seems like the "same" level of work that would be necessary to wrap the attributes to begin with. Add to that, if the desire is to hide all values of option name 1, I would think there is a way to consider all items matching the criteria of #attrib-1-

#attrib-1-127, #attrib-1-127+label { display: none; }

To address the break after the attribute, would add another item in the comma separated list with +br at the end (I think.

But, now that I have reread your code snippet, I think that would go into your attributes.php file that would get inur override directory such as includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/ folder.

The right side of the strstr statement that is in all caps, would be the text that indicates the last option and would be placed after the last option is displayed for the last option line, and before the first option is displayed for the first line.

Do have to realize, that if you use the method you have described that the sequence of adding attributes to a product is crucial as if the last one is displayed first and the first displayed last, then the sequence will be out of order and the "feature" may not work as desired. :/

Yeah I tried that but nothing happened...however I could have been doing it wrong which is why I am seeking help.

So, looking at an attributes.php file that was included with a different module (and I believe it is 1.5.1), towards the end of the file, almost like 5 lines from the end, you should see something like:

                // attributes images table
                $options_attributes_image[] = trim($tmp_attributes_image) . "\n";
                $products_options_names->MoveNext();
              }

I would consider adding the custom code as such to just before the $options_attributes_image[] line:

if (stristr($attributes_values->fields['products_options_name'],'MYFIRSTATTRIBUTENAME')) {
end($options_name);
$last_id=key($options_name);
$options_name[$last_id] = '<div id="MYHIDDENATTRIBUTESDIV">' . $options_name[$last_id];
} elseif (stristr($attributes_values->fields['products_options_name'],'MYLASTATTRIBUTENAME')) {
end($options_name);
$last_id=key($options_name);
$options_name[$last_id] = $options_name[$last_id] . '</div>';
}

This may work...

On second thought, I might change the previous a little... Notice the change of the second if...

$options_name[$last_id] = $options_name[$last_id] . '</div>';
}

This may work... Also, the change was made, in the event for some reason the first attribute is the last attribute. Otherwise, the div would never be closed when it had the elseif statement... (Sorry)

Ok will try this and see if this solves my issue. I will get back to you.
