Upload module

Wondering any one know if ZC support uploads functions?

Example. If someone upload their photo batch through my ZC shop under their account, therefore i can print and deliver to customers according their account info?

You may wish to read up on Attribute, Option Name, Option Value and uploads as this is already built into Zen Cart ...

A search on the forum, wiki and tutorials/FAQs should help you ...

So does this mean I only have to work on the Attribute option? Do I also have to work on the SQLs relationships in order to perform?

Make your Product ...

Just add an Option Name as an Option Type for File and when you add it on the Attributes Controller add it pick the Option Name you made then for the Option Value pick:
TEXT [RESERVED FOR TEXT/FILES ATTRIBUTES ONLY]

BTW, how do I force the user to use this "text" options?

I try combining those attribute flags at the bottom, specially the last value "attribute require for text" but this doesn't force the user to "select" before submit........or I have to create another attribute for forcing with the "text"?

Also does the drop box always show up the last value(bottom option in the box) as default when loaded?

If you mark a given attribute as "Default Attribute to be Marked Selected", then it will be the one auto-selected.

Consider this concept:
a. create a pulldown
b. make the "first" option (using sort order) something called "select ...".
-- i) Make it read-only (which means they can see it, but if they select it, it's not a "valid" selection).
-- ii) Make it "Default" (which means it's selected by default ... so if they don't make a different selection, they're stuck on the read-only attribute, and will get an error and be forced to choose something else)
c. add other options with sort orders higher than the "select ..." one


This way, you provide choices, but force them to choose "something" other than the informational default item named "select ..." (or whatever you call it).
