Allow quantity input for attributes

[jonathan_pohl]

I was wondering if there was any way to set up the attributes display on the product info page so that attributes displayed with a checkbox followed by an input field for the quantity desired. I know that this probably goes a lot deeper than just changing the layout of tpl_modules_attributes. For a better idea of what I'm looking for, check out this site:

I have someone else currently looking looking for this exact same thing. I'm looking at it this week, and I'll let you know if I make any progress with it.

I posted earlier about creating an attribute listing like the one seen on this page:

but I didn't receive any responses. Since all of my products will have the same attributes, and I am new to php, I figured it might be easier to just add the attribute grid into tpl_product_info_display.php. I was wondering if anyone else has done the same or has some knowledge as to how product attributes are processed from the product display to the cart. I've looked at the form fields within the product display page, but didn't see how the cart was using these fields.

Thanks,
Jonathan

At the moment, I have coded in an attribute quantity, so that the store admin can set product 1 has 4 x Attrib A, and 2 x Attrib B

I need to look at this a little further to get the user to select the amount, which is a little harder.

One way you could do it, would be to have the sizes as the products, under a final category which was the image name. Then you would need to alter the category display page, so that if it was a final level category, then it displayed the image, and the proudcts beneath. That way, if your customer chose 1 image, in 10 formats, they would infact add 10 items to a cart, rather than 1item, with 10 attributes.

How would I go about checking if a category is a final level category?

Sorry for the delay in response.

Final level categories in Zen 1.3 or above have the products in. I think they have removed the ability to place products and sub cats in the same category. Even so, just check ofr the presence of a product, and if it is there, then just show the 1 image, and the 6 separate products underneath.

Finally got that done, now all that's left is changing the add to cart functionality, so that it doesn't "add" things to the cart, rather it sets the quantity in the cart equal to the quantity in the input boxes, but that's for another thread.

Thanks for the help Absolute
