Flexible Attributes addon support

[southshorepizza]

I tried putting it everywhere else but on a seperate line.

Thank you,

I have another question then I think I will understand this enough to finish it.

Attribute#14 has 3-5 option values that are currently in a line. to make these display horizontally I need to put what into the file?

Thanks again for your help!

That's not enough information for me to answer. What product has attribute 14? I don't see it in the page you have been working on.

[southshorepizza]

No it's on specialty pizzas.

I just wanted to come back and say thank you very much to GJH42 for this module and the support you have given! My site looks much better and is much friendlier and pages are loading faster now that they are shorter.

Thank you!

I've been looking for a couple days now and can't seem to find the answer, apologies if I've overlooked it:

I'd very much like to group attributes together by the html fieldset with a legend.

We're booking activities so there's a bit of information we collect from people, which I'm doing through product attributes, and I'd just like to group things logically (like name, contact information, etc.).

An example of what we currently do can be found here at the bottom of the page: http://www.shakatourshonolulu.com/ec...norkeling.html

I just for the life of me can't figure out how to make that work...is it even possible?

Using actual <fieldset> elements would require a substantial amount of customized PHP coding to activate exactly at the right places.
Mimicking that effect is doable with stylesheet rules for the particular items in Flexible Attributes. I could give specific examples if I can see your Zen Cart site live. Essentially, you would give the left item in a group a comment in admin for the "fieldset" name, then position it with styling and give the item borders on top, bottom and left. The second item would get borders on top, right and bottom. Both would have to be given explicit heights and probably widths to ensure that their borders align. There may be a more elegant way of doing it using padding on the left item and absolute positioning on the right item.

Oh boy, sounds like I'd really be forcing it.

I appreciate your input and quick response. I'm new to this whole Zen Cart thing (and site-building in general) and wanted to recreate my site exactly as it looks now because I thought I nailed it. I see now I better adapt to the zen cart instead of fighting it. I suppose there's probably a way to get a lot of the relevant information we need by asking for it during another part of the checkout procedure.

Let me ask you this, instead of binding things together in a box is there a way to separate attributes with headings of some sort? Like having the legend without the fieldset?

[gjh42]

You can add a "comment" which will be output as a heading above any attribute, in stock Zen Cart (Option Name Manager, "edit" the option name after creating it). Flexible Attributes will let you style and group the attributes as you want. If you are not fixed on the precise "fieldset" appearance, grouping attributes under a heading is not that tricky. The second method I mentioned would be distinctly simpler and more robust than the first, and would be the way I would go. Let me see your ZC site and I will give you an example to apply.

that's where I'm at. I'll be trying out the comment thing today. Thanks for your help.
