Attribute with multiple options?

Hi there,

Iam trying to figure out whether multiple options can be given to one attribute.

Take a look at the attached file

As you can see the rows in the table, like the one i have coloured red, have multiple attributes to one attribute, for example:

Item Number, Description, Retail Price, Our Price, and then the 'Add' check box.

Is there a way to have this in Zen cart?

I'd have to play with it to be sure, but couldn't you do desc, item, price etc as text attributes all on the same item and then a select attribute with checkbox?

OK I'll try, thanks for the info, the only thing is im a bit of a newbie and what you said still sounds hard to me, as im not sure what im doing :)

I'll keep you posted on my progress, if you come up with anything else i'll be all ears!

Thanks again.

Sorry...I never know how much to say because I'm very new at zen too. Just go to the admin then catalog then option names manager. Then start entering the names of your description stuff (item #, quantity, etc) eg amount then choose text (you can change later if it doesn't look how you want it to) After you get a few of those entered go to catalog then attributes controller then choose your product. Add each of the options you just named and you can preview the item to see how it is looking.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly...

I've just tried to do what you said, but it dosent seem to have come out right, sorry if im doing it wrong. Check out the attachment to see how it is turning out.

I keep getting text boxes come up...

also i want the attributes to go along horizontly instead of going onto the next line.

Please let me know what im doing wrong.

Thanks again :)

Try setting Option Names and Option Values ...

Option Name:
Color
Type Radio or Dropdown

Option Value:
Pick Color
Red Default Sort Order 10
Yellow Default Sort Order 20
Green Default Sort Order 30

Now Add the Attributes as
Option Name: Color
Option Value: Red
Price Prefix +
Price $10.00

Option Name: Color
Option Value: Yellow
Price Prefix +
Price $15.00

Option Name: Color
Option Value: Green
Price Prefix +
Price $20.00

Update Sort Order from Defaults ...

Thats great thanks, its becoming clearer now. Thats gave me an option like colour and then a drop down menu of the various colours available.

But what i originally wanted to get was like the attached file in my first thread...

As you can see the rows in the table, like the one i have coloured red, have multiple attributes to one attribute, for example:

Item Number, Description, Retail Price, Our Price, and then the 'Add' check box.

Is there a way to have a table like this, if so please help with the code as im still learning at the moment...

Thanks
