Flexible Attributes addon support

[gjh42]

Flexible Attributes has been submitted to Free Addons.

This mod allows control over the display of individual attributes on the product info page. Each attribute can be styled globally to affect it in all products which use it, or with a per-product stylesheet to affect its display in only one product.

All user customization is done through the stylesheet (example stylesheet included).

An optional SQL patch is included to allow longer Option Name comments if desired.

An example of this mod in use can be seen at www.nyfaeriefest.com . Click on "Artist Vendors", then "Artist Vendor Application". This is an extreme example, showing a "product" turned into an application form which collects a wide variety of types of info including images and saves it to the database.

On a more ordinary level, attributes can be organized into columns or given individual styling for whatever purposes may arise.

I thank you for this awesome mod however, is there a way to place a dropdown underneath the option text? Please see link for example.

Are you wanting to get the dropdown to be under the "Number of 2-Page Spreads" text? Add to your stylesheet

#wAttrib-2 .back {float: none;}

Thank you so much, a great contribution!!!!

However, I'm having a bit of a problem getting a TEXT attribute to sit to the right of a RADIO attribute. Should this work or does it only work with dropdowns?

/*Promo Code (radios)*/
#wAttrib-5 {float:left;; margin:0; Padding:0 5px 0 30px;}
#wAttrib-5 label {float:left; text-align:right; width:84px; margin:0; padding:0;}
#wAttrib-5 .back{float:left; margin-top:3px;}
#attrib-5-9, #attrib-5-10, #attrib-5-11, #attrib-5-12{width:30px;}
/*Promo Code URL*/
#wAttrib-6 {clear:left; float:left; margin:0; Padding:0 5px 0 0;}
#wAttrib-6 label {float: left; text-align:right; width:100px; margin:0; padding:0;}
#wAttrib-6 .back{ margin-top:3px;}

So color me tardy to the party!!! This is SO much better than the method I used to achieve an improved layout for attributes.. As usual Glenn, you rock!!!

Glad you like it :)

Glad you like it :)

I haven't used it yet, but I will.. (I can say this sight unseen since I have no doubt in my mind that anything you contribute is a top notch solution out the gate!!) I remember you talking about how this could be implemented using only CSS on that thread regarding my hack for creating a two column attribute layout..

THIS is way better than the hack I was using, and since it's using CSS to manage the layout, it's infinitely more flexible than my table solution..

I believe that this will be a part of my standard "must have" Zen Cart modules for any future Zen Cart stores I build..

To be fair, the majority of stores will do fine with the stock attribute layout controls... but this should take care of pretty much anything that needs more.
