One Product, Multiple Choices from the Same Attribute Values

[sagiordano]

2 questions about this referring to the soap gift set example:

1. if you are adding all of the same option values to each option name and there are no price differences, do you really need to do that? when you go into the attributes controller to add the option name and value to a particular product, and you have the list of values, does it matter if you have option name soap 2 and choose one of the values associated with soap 1? if not, do you really need to add the values for the other option names to begin with? can you just add values to one of the option names and then use those values for all 3 option names? I know that sounds confusing so here is an example:

soap 1

• lavender [soap 1]

• rose [soap 1]

• vanilla [soap 1]

soap 2

• lavender [soap 2]

• rose [soap 2]

• vanilla [soap 2]

since lavender, rose, and vanilla are the same for soap 1 and soap 2, can i just insert those values for soap 1 and then in the attributes controller select soap 1 and soap 1 values for a product and then soap 2 and soap 1 values for that product also?

------
2. if each soap i am listing as a value is already one of my products, is there a way to get those automatically into the attributes so if i add a new soap as a product later i don't have to manually add it to this list for the gift set?

An Option Name owns its own Option Values ...

You cannot add 2 Option Names and have 1 set of Option Values or they would no longer be a distinctive pair ...

You could create 1 Option Name: Soap and all of the Option Values for it and make the Option Name a checkbox and edit this and add the comment: Pick 3 of them ...

However, at this time there is nothing designed to force a minimum or maximum number of checkboxes ...

Hello There
I have a question: in the option names there is an option type "file" I think is for the visitor to include a file to its order, I am setting up this option to upload an image file but all I get is the name of the image: Where is the actual file?
Does it get uploaded to the site server? If it does where does it go?
I would appreciate your king help
Thanks
Franco

All uploads are loaded to the /images/uploads directory ...

They are numbered to match the numbers in the Orders example:
fred.jpg

may now be called:
27.jpg

NOTE: these do NOT match the orders_id they only appear to match the orders_id ...

Thanks Linda I found them
I have another: I am letting the customer upload 2000 characters, in the emails these 2000 char form a very wide page, is there a way to correct that so it stays within the margins left and right? And why in the product page option says 200 max n. of characters allowed instead of 2000?
Thanks

Ode to the Oba-san

They're the unsung heroes of Japan, the backbone of their society. For those not in the know, an oba-san is a Japanese woman of mature years (let's say from 55 to 155 years old). They know everything about everything, and they're tough, mentally and physically. In honour of their power and towering significance, I've penned an ode to the oba-san.
