required function not working!!!

[Dashizna]

not sure what has changed but it doesn't work now

[kuroi]

Could you be a little more specific?

[Dashizna]

ok on some of my products i sell there is color options to fill out and there required to be filled out before there added to the cart and there all set but its letting the item be added without filling out the form and it just changed and isn't working

Not very good at being specific.....so I went to the site and checked it out. I see exactly what you are referring to. I'm not sure how to fix that as I would have made all of the colors attributes and used a drop down. It is also an interesting technique to take a single type of glove and make a new product for every color and size, sure fills up the category, pain in the ######## to shop this way though.

I am working on makeing them all drop downs... i never knew how to make a drop down untill yesterday so i am going to change everything...

[Dashizna]

I still need this required Attribute to work so if anyone knows how to fix this please help me out

Why are you not using Zen's attributes functions ? I haven't looked at the site, but I do see it previously mentioned that you are using one page per color - not a very efficient way of doing things.

Simply one product, with attributes, and make the attributes default to one color / size and be required. Piece of cake....

I wish it was that easy nothing i put the required function on is working people are buying items that i need to know what color they want and it is letting them add it to the cart without them....

You need one more attribute
example:
name = color
value = please choose a color
set as display only and as the default attribute. Also set its sort order to be at the top of the list.

If the customer does not choose a color the add to cart will fail and they will be directed to select the attribute (ie. color, size, width,......)

In your mechanix gloves page I think it should be set up as 1 product with 2 sets of attributes. 1 set for size and 1 set for color. If you go to my site in my sig and go to any of the fabric products you can see what I mean by 2 sets of attributes.
