Display Read Only attribute in cart

[pjb923]

I have a site where certain items need to have a note saying "Final Sale. This item cannot be returned."

This text needs to be visible not only on the product info page, but in the shopping cart and on the invoice. I thought the easiest way to handle this would be to create a "final sale" attribute.

Using the read only attribute, the text appears in the product info, but not in the attributes list when the item is added to the cart.

Does anyone know if it's possible to display it here?

Make it normal - required - selected

Make it normal - required - selected

I tried that and it displays on the product info page, but I am still not seeing this attribute in the shopping cart.

I think it has something to do with the commented out code on the attributes module. Line 495 of attributes.php.

// Read Only - just for display purposes
                      if ($products_options_names->fields['products_options_type'] == PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_READONLY) {
                        //            $tmp_html .= '<input type="hidden" name ="id[' . $products_options_names->fields['products_options_id'] . ']"' . '" value="' . stripslashes($products_options->fields['products_options_values_name']) . ' SELECTED' . '" />  ' . $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'];
                        $tmp_html .= $products_options_details . '<br />';
                      } else {
                        $zv_display_select_option ++;
                      } 

I tried playing around with this a little, but didn't get anywhere. Anything I touch on this line seems to cause problems with the display of the remaining attributes in the shopping cart, and causes the product image to disappear.

Do you have any other suggestions?

File path & file name?

File path & file name?

includes/modules/attributes.php

It's actually line 486 in the default file. My attributes module did have other modifications, but reverting back to the default did not solve my problem.

If you make it a radiobutton type, default selected, it can't be unselected and will display in the cart. It would be possible to hide the select circle with CSS so that it would appear as straight text in the info page.

I'm re-opening this thread because I'm still curious about this issue...so do the read-only attributes not show up in the cart?

Make it normal - required - selected

^What does this mean? Make normal - required- is that still valid?
