What I mean, is I have a small, medium, and a large of a certain product. How do I put the option for the customer to select one of those to order??

....... Attributes, Force to Select

Right now I can add to the cart and not select a Size.. BAD. I am automatically linked to the shopping cart with the default color Small, but really I wanted Large..

The beauty of this procedure: Is a warning box appears at the top of the page stating they have not selected a attribute size you offer to the customer.

You need to add one extra value To Size:

1. In the Option Value Manager for Size
2. Add the following: Please Select Size
3. Sort Order 0

Example of what it should look like in the Option Value Manager:

Color Please Select Size 0
Color Small 10
Color Medium 20
Color Large 30

Now in Attribute Controller for each product you will add this new Option Value below:

1. Under Adding New Attribute
2. Option Name: Select Size
3. Option Value: Select Please Select Size
4. Under Prices and Weights
5. Order: Select 0
6. Attribute Flags: the colored boxes
7. Used for Display purpose only (Yellow box) Click Yes
8. Default Attribute to be marked selected (Tan box): Click Yes
9. Save

Ok. So where do I start off at?

There is a great tutorial for this at:

I have just used it myself and have set up sizes for my products. My next question is how do I enable customers to only buy one of each size.
For example if I have 5 products all the same but one of each size I want to be able to sell one of each without having to continually update the sizes.

So do I have to make a size for each of my products? Like if I have 5 products, I have to put 5 large, 5 mediums, and 5 smalls?

Before you apply attributes to products, you must have all your attributes defined.

So, ignore your products for the moment, and consider what sizes you want as attributes.

Let's say that you have the following sizes, that apply to a wide range of products:-

Small
Medium
Large
X-Large

You create an attribute name (Option Name) called "Size"

Then you apply values to that name (Option Values).

When you have applied all four (small, med, lrg, x-lrg) to that option name (size), you then ASSOCIATE these attributes with applicable products.

I put these images up on another post, showing how to create option NAMES and then giving it various values:-

ADMIN PANEL>>>CATALOG>>>OPTION NAMES









When you have set up your attributes, you APPLY them to products using the attributes controller.

Ok, I have been able to put the sizes up. But, when they come up on the drop down box, they come in alphabetical order. Why? Needs to be Small, Medium, Large, XLarge. Of course. How do I get that?

[fairestcape]

First, go to the OPTION VALUES manager, and make sure that you have given a SORT ORDER to your sizes, for example:

Small = Sort Order : 10

Medium = Sort Order : 20

Large = Sort Order : 30

X-Large = Sort Order : 40

Then, go to your ATTRIBUTES CONTROLLER for the product in question...
