Remove the middle step

[cregy]

Hi

1. I want to remove the middle step when selecting a product. e.g. Category is Boots. We click on boots and that shows a list of boots! I don't want this list. I would like it to go straight to the first product and show the arrows to move to the next in the list.

How do I do this please? I am not afraid to hack templates!

2. Can I do the above just for certain products please?
And reverse the process for other products. In other words only show a product list and don't create the click on to see individual list of products please?

Thanks

Follow the logic in the tpl_module_product_listing.php, there exists a conditional that does exactly this if there is only one product - - -

Much easier if for full categories but you can add as many conditionals as you want

Before doing this - how many pairs of boots do you have and why would you want to force your customer to have to click through all of them to get to the pair they want? That isn't very user friendly.

Hi Kim

Ok take a look at:
<http://cornishtartancentre.com/>

That is the start of the site. We were using a different cart:
<http://cornishtartancentre.com/old_index.php?page_id=4&wpshop_category=2>

You can see there are actually only six products and they rely on different sizes anyway! I am hoping to programme the size choice as part of the order.

I am trying to create a letter box style site that emphasises the product rather than the cart or the site - if you get me - what do you think please?

Any wisdom?

Looking this is and what is looks to be is a pair of products in different sizes:

This is a place for "attributes" to be used, one listing for each product with several sizes and priced by attributes probably

Men's Moorland
.|_Full Size Medium Weight Seat <46"
.|_Full Size Medium Weight Seat 46>"
.|_Full Size Medium Weight Seat 56"-60"


Men's Traditional
.|_Full Size Medium Weight Seat <46"
.|_Full Size Medium Weight Seat 46>"
.|_Full Size Medium Weight Seat 56"-60"

Hi

I am having problems adding attributes. I keep getting this error message:

Attribute Option and Option Value Do NOT Match - Attribute was not added - Size : TEXT

1. Added an option name - size
2. Added option values - < 46", 46" > and 56" - 60"
3. Now I try to add the values to the product. However, whilst the value 56" - 60" remains as input the two other values now read like this:
<"value="1">46" <
"value="2">46" >
and when I try to select either of those two values I get the above error message. I can add the other value with no problems. Is it something to do with the > or < signs please? And if so is there a workaround?

Many thanks.

Hi Kobra

Thanks for the reply. Now you can see the site, I would like to try to skip the middle step various products but would like to try it out on the mens kilts product. In your first reply as quoted above, you said that it does this exactly if only one product. as you can see I am looking at two products. Does this make a difference please?

Thanks.

I ws referencing this for you to look at the logic that forces the transition to the product pages when there is only one product so that you might apply it in some fashion to those with more than one.
