1.3.7 Products Options Drop Down and Radio Bug?

I have created a clean install of ZenCart. I created product options, option values, and then used the Attribute Controller to assign them. I selected one of the options as default in the Attribute Controller. If I set the "Option Type" for the "Option Name" to CHECKBOX it works fine (even checkmarks the default). But if I choose RADIO then it shows as RADIO, but all 3 options are selected (checked). If I change it to DROPDOWN, then it shows RADIO with all 3 options selected.

Changing to TEXT or READ ONLY works fine also.

Why doesn't RADIO or DROPDOWN work correctly, but CHECKMARK works correctly?

Option Name: Color
Option Type: Radio Button

Option Value:
Set its Option Name to Color and make:
Red
Yellow
Green

Now add to Product as an Attribute:

Pick Option Name: Color Option Value: Red
Pick Option Name: Color Option Value: Yellow
Pick Option Name: Color Option Value: Green

Thanks for that quick response. I see what I was doing wrong, I was adding "3" Option Names, and "3" Option Values". When doing dropdowns or radios, you do "1" Option Name, and "3" Option Values, and link accordingly.

Thanks again for clearing that up. Thanks also for not giving me a hard about my lack of understanding. I worked on it for hours (but missed the correct way to do it), and even read web pages on how to set this up (by they were unclear). But somehow I missed the correct way to do it. The attribute setup is kinda confusing (the first time).

This is a great community, and the quick help is amazing to see.

Kudos!

That is a common error when first making attributes is getting the Option Names and Option Values situated correctly ... :smile:

One thing that might help is to create a test directory with a test database and load the demo products ...

We have examples of a million and one things to help you with functionality of Zen Cart ...

This is always a good idea with each new release as we do make a lot of updates with each release that often it helps to "see" the new features/options in action ...

Good luck with your shop! :cool:
