Product attributes layout

[spottedhaggis]

Hi all.

I wuld like to know how easy it would be (and if anyone knows how to do it) to have something like the following.

Example - 5 attributes setup for a product, attributes are 1 = £5.00 2 = £8.00 and so on, price reduces for number purchased.

Rather than have them lok like the default, each attribute as below

Attribute 1 - Price - add to cart
Attribute 2 - Price - Add to cart

I would like to have them like this.

Attribute 1 Attribute 2 attribute 3
Price Price Price
Add to cart Add to cart Add to cart

Anyone know how to do this.

Are you trying to offer a quantity discount using the Attribute?

Have you looked at the Products Price Manager and the Product Quantity Discounts available?

I am used to using OSC but its attributes ae really painful to use and limited in display options, Zen cart seems to have a far better way to do this, only the layout is not so good.

From what I can see, if I have 5 attributes n an item, and set them to check boxes, they list one under the other, like so

1 attribute
2 attribute
3 attribute
4 attribute
5 attribute

I would like to list them like this (inside a table if possible)

1 attribute 2 attribute 3 attribute 4 attribute 5 attribute

And allow the user to check multiple boxes, or simpy one from the above attributes.

Did you peek at what's under the Option Names Manager ... Option Name ... Edit button?

lol. did I peek, lmao, I will peek in a second. Just installed Zen cart, now going t add a couple products and see how it all goes.

I am extremely greatful (even thugh spelling is not my best attribute!) for your swift response, its great.

ok, ta, I peeked and I see it now, works well. How about this then

Is it possible to encase each attibute inside its own little box, so that all attributes appear inside a table, colours in the backgrounds of the boxes can enhance and draw attention to the fact that the more you buy the cheaper it will be.

This is the whole marketing poy behind it.

Thanks again

Well ... the Product Discount Qty does that automatically for you ...

The Attributes Quantity Discounts produces a link that reads: Quantity Discounts Available

and takes you to a popup with a table of the discount prices ...

Regular attribute build in a group but there isn't a built in grouping for color like that unless Kim got really creative on the template code ...

I am but a humble coder without a clue on template design unless you hold a gun to my head ... I just write the code to make the templates work happily with one another and in theory allow the designers to do their design thing ...

I noticed that, when you click qty discounts it pops up with a table. That table is what I want but not in the popup, I want that table to hold the different attribute options under the main product, a customer can simply select from the table using checkbox or alternative options. I culd probably figure out how to colour them, but I can figure ut how to encase each attribute shown inside a table, or at least its own box.

If you set the Option Name type to Checkbox, and the "Attribute Style for Radio Buttons/Checkbox" to 3 (other settings may work albeit with varying results), and then add this to your stylesheet, you should at least end up with a border around each name+image+checkbox:

.attribImg { border: 1px solid black; }

Thanks, worked a treat, and have added to the CSS to give me the coloured background I wanted.
