Here's a very quick guide...
We will set up an attribute called: Price Plans
In your website ADMIN PANEL
Step One
admin>>>catalog>>>option name manager
In the first input field - where you see en:
... type in Price Plans
Go to next input field where it says order:
... type in 10
Next field... choose dropdown
Click INSERT button
**
Step Two**
At top left of screen, just under the menu strip, two buttons:
Attribute Controller | Option Values
Click Option Values
(screen will refresh on a different editing panel)
Here, you will see a little dropdown window and in it you will see the option name you just created - Price Plans (you may need to scroll if there are other values there).
Make sure you select Price Plans in this window.
Go to next input field where it says en:
... type in Please select a Price Plan
Fo to next input field where it says order
... type in 1
Click INSERT button
GO BACK to first input field
Select Price Plans again
Go to next input field where it says en:
... type in Purchase Phone Only
Fo to next input field where it says order
... type in 2
Click INSERT button
GO BACK to first input field
Select Price Plans again
Go to next input field where it says en:
... type in Purchase 2-year Contract
Fo to next input field where it says order
... type in 3
Click INSERT button
You now have an attribute for Price Plans
This attribute has the option Name Price Plans
and
THREE Option values:
- Please select a Price Plan
- Purchase Phone Only
- Purchase 2-year Contract
We now need to ASSOCIATE this attribute with your phone product.
Step Three
At top of screen, now click **Attributes Controller **button
Page will refresh, showing a new editing panel.
The first task is to NAVIGATE (using the dropdowns) to your product. First by its category, THEN by its product name.id.
When you have the correct product highlighted in the dropdown list, click DISPLAY button.
Screen will refresh, showing a large GREY BOX with the title:
ADDING NEW ATTRIBUTES
You will see TWO dropdown lists:
In the FIRST list, select Price Plans
In the SECOND list, select **Please select a Price Plan
**
Click INSERT Button
REPEAT the above two steps for
- Purchase Phone Only
- Purchase 2-year Contract
You have now ASSOCIATED the option values to your product.
Now, we need to add in the PRICE DIFFERENCE between the
- Purchase Phone Only
and
- Purchase 2-year Contract
Step Four
( I am assuming the 2-year contract will be MORE EXPENSIVE that the Phone Only)
Next to the Option Value for: Purchase 2-year Contract - Click the EDIT button.
Scroll down through the large grey box until you see:
Prices and Weights
You should have + sign in the first field.
In the next field, type in the PRICE value of the 2-year contract, over and above the phone price (so if the phone costs $100 and the contract and phone is $275, then you type in 175.0000 into this field, because it will ADD the 175 and 100 together).
Click INSERT (See my NEXT POST...)
Step Five
We now need to maker the "Please select...." value "read only"
In the column called "Legend", you will see a row of coloured buttons - some with just X in them.
In the row of buttons for Please select a price plan , Click the FIRST of these buttons (with an X) so it turns YELLOW.
Step Six
Now we need to revert to Default Sort Order.
Scroll up until you see a button set. One will say:
UPDATE SORT
Click it.
Go look at your product in the webshop. Add it to the cart.
