Trying to configure multiple product attributes in a complex situation

I need advise for how to configure product attribute in following scenario:

  1. My product has 3 different colors - Black, Blue, Red
  2. Black one has 3 different sizes - Small, Medium, Large. Blue one has 2 different sizes - Small, Medium. and Red one has 2 different sizes - Medium, Large.
  3. I have to charge $2.00 more for size Large.

I have set up two option names

  1. Colors - Black, Blue, Red
  2. Sizes - Small, Medium, Large

What is the best way to setup product attribute to prevent customer select Blue color with Large size and Red color with Small size?. Option for the color of my product will increase quickly in the future; some of them many come in limited size options. So I am looking for a way to configure product attribute without listing all the option values in a dropdown list or radio button.

Re: Trying to configure multiple product attributes in a complex situation

You are wanting dependent attributes and that is not available in Zen Cart, at this time ...

You could make an Option Name for these of:
Color/Size

and put the combinations in there as:
Black - Small
Black - Medium
Black - Large +2.00
Blue - Small
Blue - Medium
Red - Medium
Red - Large +2.00

And either arrange them by Color or by Size in the Option Values ...

I would also add an additional Option Value as:
Select your Size and Color ...
Display Only YES
Default YES
Sort Order 0

So that the customer must make a precise choice of what they really want ...
