Re: required function not 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 butt to shop this way though. :wink2:

Re: required function not working!!!

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....

Re: required function not working!!!

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,......)

Re: required function not working!!!

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.

Re: required function not working!!!

Ok I see what you changed for the gloves. Now to clean it up a little. If you are scrolling down that page, once the add to cart box appears, if you stop then you don't see the attributes......hmmm. try the following code in your stylesheet, should move the attribute over to the right under the add to cart box.

#productAttributes {float: right;}

Now enough of the gloves...which category are the mats in so I can see what we are talking about.

Re: required function not working!!!

ok i like that it is moved under the add to cart button but is it possible to put a Box (outline) around the attributes?? Like the Add to cart button has... Also is it possible to maybe move the attributes right above the Add to cart button??
