Radio Button requirement

[tpascubarat]

We have several products that come with certain configurations (4 configurations and a n/a). I don't want to have a selection default to any radio button, but I still require one button to be selected. Upon adding to cart, if there is a missing selection, the customer needs to be informed. Please refer to the link below for more detail.

You have to have a default in order to be sure of having a selection.

The thing to do is make another value for that option name called "Select" or whatever. In Attributes Controller, add "Select" and make it default and display only.

Then customers will be forced to make a conscious selection.

In your attribute controller, just select which radio button you want selected by default.

Thanks,

That did the trick. It works perfectly.

If you want to get even smoother in your display, every input button has its own id and can be addressed individually in the stylesheet.

Add this to your stylesheet to hide the top radiobuttons, keaving only the "please select" message:

input#attrib-23-105, input#attrib-24-103, input#attrib-25-101 {
    display: none;
    }

This will apply to those particular attributes on every product where they appear.
You can look up other radiobutton ids in view source or with the Firefox Web Developer "Display Element Information" tool.
