Attributes and Add to Cart/more info

I could really use some help with the product listing layout (new products and all products, as well).

I have Multiple Products Qty Box on, but any product with attributes (all of mine have at least one, all will eventually have 2). I would like for the "more info" to show only if a product has more than one attribute.

Can anyone help?

I'm guessing that the following code needs to be adjusted, but I could be wrong (I'm not great with PHP):

// more info in place of buy now

            $lc_button = '';

            if (zen_has_product_attributes($listing->fields['products_id']) or PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE_BUY_NOW == '0') {

              $lc_button = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . MORE_INFO_TEXT . '</a>';

            } else {

              if (PRODUCT_LISTING_MULTIPLE_ADD_TO_CART != 0) {

                $how_many++;

                $lc_button = TEXT_PRODUCT_LISTING_MULTIPLE_ADD_TO_CART . "<input type=\"text\" name=\"products_id[" . $listing->fields['products_id'] . "]\" value=0 size=\"4\">";

              } else {

                $lc_button = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], zen_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_BUY_NOW, BUTTON_BUY_NOW_ALT) . '</a> ';

              }

            }

            $the_button = $lc_button;

            $products_link = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . MORE_INFO_TEXT . '</a>';

            $lc_text .= '<br />' . zen_get_buy_now_button($listing->fields['products_id'], $the_button, $products_link) . '<br />' . zen_get_products_quantity_min_units_display($listing->fields['products_id']);

I would like for the "more info" to show only if a product has more than one attribute.But ... the reason the "more info" link shows ... is that the add-to-cart process requires that the attribute be drawn on-screen in order for it to be selected and included in the add-to-cart process.

Would it be possible to show both attributes on the listing page and maybe an "add to cart" button for each attribute?

Here's a url if you'd like to take a look at what I've got
http://www.omegasound.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6

The $8.00 products have 2 attributes and the $8.99 products have only 1.

It would be wonderful if I could have something like "more info" where the description would be in the listing. Is that do-able?

I'm using 1.2.6d by the way. (getting ready to start test the upgrade to 1.3.5)

I think someone has tackled something like that somewhere here on the forum. I doubt it's for v1.2.x though.

There's a reason why it's not an available option yet ... the complexities and dependencies and need to check for uniqueness and to handle every possible attribute combination for each of possibly hundreds of products on one listing page ... is a huge undertaking, not to mention bug-prone, as well as likely to slow the product-listing page to a crawl if many products have many attributes on them.

Sorry, but something like this is on the wishlist, but isn't scheduled anytime soon. As such, you may want to post a Commercial Help Wanted ad and hire someone to do it for you. It would be great if you were to also share it back with the community once completed, but that's optional and of course entirely up to you.
