Attributes Controller: [text] Option Name doesn't work

Hi everyone,

I'm not able to insert attributes to text Option Names. I choose the product then Option Name and skip the Option Value. After I push Insert the message is "No Attributes Defined for Product ID#...". Radio option names works fine.
I need the customer/donor to type in additional information about the product.
I'm not sure if this is relevant: I use the quantity box as price box because the customer/donor can type in any price for the product.

Thanks in advance,
Barry

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a way for a customer to type in additional information about a product while adding to the cart.

I'm able to use a radio button for restricted options but not a text field.

Thanks in advance,

Hi everyone,

I'd like to report a bug in Attributes Controller. [text] option names are not accepted. After pressing Insert the system doesn't save the changes neither output errors.

Thanks in advance,
Barry

In the Catalog ... Option Name ... you should create an Option name and select TEXT from the dropdown ...

Then, go to the Product in the Attributes Controller and select the Option Name that you created and select for the Option Value TEXT/UPLOAD FILE [#0] ... complete any details on the Attribute and click INSERT ...

Thank you for the prompt response.

The Option Value TEXT/UPLOAD FILE [#0] doesn't appear. I tried on IE and Firefox. I have no issues with Radio Option Name.

Could you go to phpMyAdmin and browse your table:
products_options_values

and see if you have a RECORD for the:
products_options_values_name

called:
TEXT

If not, you need to fix that with:

INSERT INTO products_options_values (products_options_values_id, language_id, products_options_values_name) VALUES (0, 1, 'TEXT');

That fixed the bug.

Thanks!

Just to clarify: That's a bug caused by altering the database data after installation. It's not a bug in the core code.
