Need User text input based on Attribute selected

[heinz]

I'm still in early building and experimenting but am determined to continue with zen cart as it's been relatively easy to get this far (in a short time).

One snag I'm encountering is to force a user to add some text based on an option attribute selection made.

We sell software licenses by platform and I want to ask the user for input when he/she selects "Other". I'm using Radio buttons as that displays the attribute pricing nicely. Example at:

The D96TEST Option Name is only there to see if user input is even possible, and it is and shows up at checkout. What I would like is that if "Other" is selected that a text box is displayed or that the text box in d96test option can be priced.

TIA for any suggestions or even confirmation that it "can" be done without direct coding. I'm trying to keep the initial phase of my building within the confines of setup via admin. After I have it on-line I'll enter the tweak-by code phase, not that I'm an expert php coder

Having options changed based on a previous selection is not yet available but several are working on such. A mod may appear soon or it may be incorporated in an upcoming release.

Meanwhile, you could make the "Other" a dropdown with options that would require the customer to make a selection. Or, have a descripton of the options with a dropdown listing standard as the default ant the others as choices with the + or - dollar amounts listed with each selection.

Thanks dbltoe.

I'll figure out some work-around. Nice to know that it'll possibly only be a temporary one (work-around).

Just didn't want to have missed it if already there.

Guess I should have looked before leaping

Thanks. I saw that but it seemed much more than I needed and a little above my head for the moment. All I really need is a text-box associated with an option, rather than a secondary selection.

I might still give it a try though as a temporary.
