Attributes question

[Beth-katherine]

I am a bit confused as to if Zen-Cart can do what I want for my site.

I have one image for 3 sizes of silk ribbon (4mm - 7mm & 13mm) and would like for the customer to be able to add multiple quantities for each size and would like to avoid creating a separate page for each size ribbon. The way I have it on my old site shows the image of ribbon with 3 quantity boxes of each size ribbon. Is this possible with Zen-Cart?

Here's a link to my old site to show what I am talking about

Thanks,

Kinda ... but different ...

In Zen Cart you would make an
Option Name: Size
Option Type: Radio or Dropdown

Option Value:
select Option Name Size and then create:
Option Value name: Small
Sort Order 10
Option Value name: Medium
Sort Order 20
Option Value name: Large
Sort Order 30

Now go to the Attributes Controller and find your Product ...

Next, add your Attributes by selecting the Option Name and matching Option Value ... you can also set separate prices and weights here if you need to ...

HINT: install a test directory such as:
/zencart_v137

Make a test database and username ...

Install Zen Cart v1.3.7 and include the demo products in this play area ...

Now you can see examples of how many of the 1000s of features of Zen Cart work ...

Thanks Linda I will work on your suggestions, however I am having trouble I think with Safari not showing the products to choose from and when I switched to IE Safair started acting weird. Time I think to pour over the manual as I can't see where to add in the names of the options.

Under Catalog ... there is the Options Name Manager and the Options Values Manager ... these are for adding/editing the Option Names and Option Values ...

There is also a handy Option Name Sorter and the Option Value Sorter to help with arranging the display order of these Option Names and Option Values ...

Then you add them to the Product in the Attributes Controller ...

Ok I think I've got it. Now I need to organize the ribbons better on the main page as IMO they look horrible.
Any suggestions on how to put a box around each image or at least spacing between them?
