Setting up custom options?

Hi,

I am using Zencart in a site that sells shoes online. I need to have an option on the product page that allows you to select what size of shoe you wish to purchase.

The admin would need to be able to dictate what sizes are available on a product by product basis as well.

Is there a way that is already built into Zencart that would allow something like this? Or will I have to "hack" the code to add this option in myself?

Any help is appreciated!

Stock by Attribute is not available yet with Zen Cart ...

This should be out in v1.4 ...

Ajeh's comment that Stock (quantities on hand) by Attribute is not available yet is correct; but if you meant your question a different way, there is a built-in system for setting the sizes (colors,etc.) a product comes in and allowing the customer to choose. The admin can set the choices by product or en masse.

In admin > Catalog > Option Names, make an option Size and choose the type (dropdown, radiobutton, etc.)
In Option Values, create all the values Size might have.
In Attributes Controller, pick a typical product and add attributes to it. In the "ADDING NEW ATTRIBUTES" section, pick the option name and first value and click to add; repeat for all the values you want.

You can then copy this set of attributes to other products easily. There are many subtleties to the attribute creation process depending on what you want to do.

Thanks.. that is what I was looking for.

Just an addendum to adding things like size, color, height, weight.....etc.

Set your first item as Please Select a Size and make it Display only and the default.

Otherwise the customer can order without ever really selecting those 14 D loafers they were after.

Just another tip I got from Ajeh!

I want to done some calculation on price, on product info display page, that give me a new price for product, now I want that zencart will accept my this new calculated price and passed to add to cart, but it not working as it every time accept there previous price, so my question is that, did any one give me an idea, that what variable is used for price, that I will assigned my calculated value.

or any other idea, you people have that i will assigne my this procduct price into the zencart cart , that it will tranction will be donw on my new value.

}
?>
<br /><br />

<?php if($finalbox<1) { echo 1; echo " "."sq.ft"; } else { $sqft=($finalbox*$products_colour); echo $sqft; echo " "."sq.ft"; } ?>

<br /><br />

<?php //echo $pri; $price= $finalbox*$pri; echo " "."$".$price; //$_SESSION['myprice']=$price; //echo $_SESSION['myprice']; ?> </td> <tr><td height="25" colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Calculate" /> </td></tr> </tr> </table> </form>

my last calculated price value is "."$".$price;, file name is product_info_display.php :flex:

now i want that i will add my calculated price as zencart calculated price also.
