Attributes HOW-TO

More or less what has been done is turn off the setting for display cart after adding a product.

This keeps you on the same page you are on.

Thanks Ajeh for the quick reply; however, it does not address my question. Yes, the display cart feature is turned off in the example -- that's a simple admin setting.

What I'm interested in is the click-on-attribute-to-add-to-card function that is implemented on the example page.

See: http://www.psteas.com/product_info.php?products_id=68

If you click on the attribute (2oz., 4oz., etc.) it adds the product of that weight/size to the cart. The product attribute selection and "Add to Cart" button functionality are merged.

Thanks

You would probably need to convert the add-on from osC for that.

Do you know which one it was?

26 pages of reading, and I have learned a bunch. I think I'm going to get a lot out of Zen Cart.
I'm not quite certain whether my question has been covered. I didn't see anyone ask it explicitly, although one post seemed to tell me that the answer is already "no". However, let me put out my situation just to be certain:
I'm working on a ite for a client who makes stained glass items. There are 3 types of glass she uses, Cathedral, Opalescent, and Iridized. There are 22 colors to choose from as well. Now certain colors (like, say "Cloud White") can only be used with certain types of glass (Opalescent and Iridized, in this case). I created an attribute for the glass type, and one for glass color. Is there a way to limit the available colors based on the glass type that is selected?

No the attributes are not related to one another.

You would be better off making a Product for each glass type and then add the appropriate colors to it.

Hi,

Anybody know how the following work in Attributes Controller?

1. Price Factor & Offset:
2. One Time Factor & Offset:
3. Attributes Qty Price Discount:
4. Onetime Attributes Qty Price Discount:

Thank you!

If you do a search on:

factor or price factor or attribute discounts ... I just wrote on this not to long ago and if you search further back there should be a lot more as well.

can you add a diffrent model number and number of units in stock for each attirbute?

Sorry, not at this time.

Ok, going to try and be as clear as possible:

I have an item that comes in 4 sizes, each priced accoring to size.
So far so good, I've no problem in setting that attribute up.

But now, as for color options. I'd like to be able to set, say Chrome & Mirror Gold at +50% over the price of the regular colors.

So that if a customer wants a 12 inch decal in chrome the color attribute will reflect a 50% increase over the price set by the size attribute.

So far I've been able to pull off %50 (setting the Price Factor to 1.5) but it's calculating the new price based on the lowest size price (priced by attribute) and not the selected larger decal... I hope this was in any way clear.

Question: Is it possible to do this. I've read this entire thread (have it printed out in fact) but I haven't been able to solve this one.

Anyone willing to help a poor right-brainer here? :blink:

The Price Factor is based on products_price

If you have an optional attribute based on the products_price you need to set up an Option Value with no price such as:

Select from Below
Additional Options
etc.

This way it is not included in the pricing.

I'm sorry but this time, I didn't understand a word.

Could you walk me through it? Are you needing more information about what I'd need to do?

Your Chrome and Mirror Gold are optional attributes

They have a value but only if selected

Somewhere you need a price to base the 50% on

Either the price is based off the Products Price or the Price of the Selected Attributes.

So in order to do this kind of pricing, something has to make up a price to take 50% of.

Let's say the prices are as follows:

Size
Small prefix blank price 10.00 set as default
Medium prefix blank 20.00

Color
Red no pricing set as default
Green no pricing
Chrome prefix + price factor .5
Mirror prefix + price factor 2

So this would read as:

Starting at: $10.00

Size: Small $10.00
Medium $20.00

Color: Red
Green
Chrome +$5.00 (which is $10 * .5)
Mirror +$20.00 (which is $10 * 2.0)

Sorry to ask a rather inane question, but I have just run through all the pages of this loooonnng thread and can't see what I'm looking for.

I've been working in Zen so much lately and it's great cuz I'm getting so familiar with everything, but tonight I have a schitoma and just can't see what I know is there:

I want my price to say "Starting at" $XX.00 because it is priced by Attributes, and somewhere awhile back I remember turning that off but I feel that I have looked an re-looked in every menu tonight and can't find the bloody thing! Would one of you kind gurus please tell me where I can find it?

Thanks so much!!

When you add or edit a product you can set the product to be Priced by Attributes.

Thanks Ajeh, but that's not what I'm asking. Somewhere I removed the text "Starting At" before the price, but the price still appears as the starting price. Does that make sense?

sorry can't find what I'm looking for. this topic has too many pages... there should be a search function for the topics like this.

anyway how can I set the quantities of the different sizes.. lets say I have a tshirt and I have 10 S, 15 M, 15 L and 5 XL sizes. How do I get the quantities right.

Quantity (inventory) tracking by size (attribute) is not available at this time.

The define for the Starting At is located in:

/includes/languages/english.php

define('TEXT_BASE_PRICE','Starting at: ');

There is also a switch for this ...
it is located per Product Type under the Catalog ... Product Types ... Edit Layout

Show Starting At text on Price

Thanks Ajeh! You are a rock star! I KNEW I had turned it off but couldn't find it again for the life of me. Thanks again!
