Attributes HOW-TO

[Ajeh]

Do you have an URL that we can peek at, uncle13?

Thanks! :)

montano, are you set to priced by attribute?

If not, have you tried the Product Price Manager and the Quantity Discounts?

Hi, I did select price by attributes, but if I sell in groups of 12, I don't want there to be a number in the box above add to cart. Then I get an error saying I added the wrong amount and there's a minimum of 12. I guess I don't even want there to be a minimum of 1 because the selection is made in the drop down. Does that make sense. They can purchase 12-24, 24-36, 36-48 and so on. That selection is made in the first drop down box. What happens next is the following attribute (retrun address printed) is not calculated properly because it doesn't really know how many are being purchased.

I am hoping there is just something stupid I've done or an easy fix. I just am stumped and can't figure it out. Also wondering if you can make any of the attributed dependant on the one right before it. See, if they select blank invitations I don't want the text box mandatory, but if they select printed, then they must fill out the text box.

Argh, brain is swimming just thinking about it.

Not sure when I can peek but maybe someone will have some time and seeing the actual data does help vs a screen shot ... :)

Look at this product via phpMyAdmin ...

Check and see what its master_categories_id is set to and make sure it matches the categories_id that you put on sale.

All products have a master_categories_id

The master_categories_id is a field in the products table of your database.

This is managed by the Admin for you.

However, if you import products this most likely is not being done properly.

You want to look at the categories_id that the product is in.

You can check this by navigating to the product via the Catalog ... Categories/Products ...

You will see in the URL the cPath=

Now if you look at the product in the products table via phpMyAdmin ... you should see a master_categories_id

That value matches one of the categories on your site.

Looking at that value you can look at your Catalog and find the Catalog it matches to. This should be the one you put on sale in Sale Maker.

If you have the master_categories_id for the product matching the categories_id that you put on sale in Sale Maker then you should see the discount.

If you do not see the discount, either something is wrong with your template or you have a damaged relationship of the master_categories_id and categories_id or you have an old version of Zen Cart or something resulting in this problem.

As to options being related or dependant to one another that is not a feature of Zen Cart at this time.

You could add two-fold option values though.

Instead of adding Mazda 626 as your option name
and
2-door and 4-door as your option values

Add 2 option names:
Mazda 626 2-door
and
Mazda 626 4-door

Then you can add the appropriate color options to the appropriate vehicles.

Just a thought. I am complete newbie to Zen, but that seems like it should work.

Best,

Hi all
Can I do this:

Product - description - price= pack of 50 = £5.00
pack of 100 = £10.00
pack of 200 = £20.00

Is this possible to set up in attributes?
