Attribute Help Please

I thought I understood the attributes and how to set them up but I was seriously wrong. This is what I am trying to.

Red Product

Option1: Mega Set, Digital Download, $8.00
Option2: Mini Set, Digital Download, $4.00

I was doing ok til I got to the price part. Heck I might not even have my attributes set up right. Going back to reading but I hope someone can help me. Thanks!

I really wish this had a edit. After some more thinking I got the attributes set up correctly, but for some reason they are both selected. I need the buyer to be able to choose. Going back to research some more.

Ok, I think I got this all set up right. I hope someone comes and tells me if I did this right or wrong, or if there is a better way.

I started the price at zero. Switched the radion button to check and now it lets you select either the mega set or the mini set. Is this right. This is the product I set it up on http://www.alloccasionwraps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_4&products_id=233&number_of_uploads=0

Switched the radion button to check and now it lets you select either the mega set or the mini set.
:no:
Visited product quoted.. add to cart.. BOTH download options are added
into cart not either.. total cost $12

Yeah I don't have it right. I messed with it til 4am will have to look at it again. The other way I had it wasn't right either. I need to do this http://www.giftwrapuk.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=270 but with a download too.

So it would be:

Red Product

Option1: Mega Set, Digital Download, $8.00
Option2: Mini Set, Digital Download, $4.00

Example there is also incorrect
i.e. add that item at giftwrapuk to your cart..
cart then shows ordered 1.. total price=0

Another attribute option needs to be configured
i.e
option name: Select...
with setting of...
Used for display purposes only..YES..
Default attribute to be marked selected...YES...

Then change your existing 2 download files options to
Used for display purposes only..NO..
Default attribute to be marked selected...NO...
HTH

It helps I figured I needed to add a third and there's where I got lost. For 5 months now I have done these items separately (don't know if you looked at the rest of the site) because I didn't have time to sit down and actually figure out how you get these things to play nicely on one page. But now my partner and I are tired of doing everything double.

All our products are the same minus the design, but other then that they are all a virtual download. With each set you have a choice of a mega set download $8.00 or a mini set download $4.00.

So you say that I need to make a third option that is display only, as stated earlier this is exactly where I get lost. What should that be. I think I'm to the point where I need really good directions :(

You need 1 Option Name:
Set size (you can call this "which one" or what ever you like)
Option Type: Dropdown or Radiobutton

Then add 3 Option Values
Option Name: Set size
Option Value: Select your favorite (or whatever)
Default Sort Order: 0

Option Name: Set size
Option Value: Mini set
Default Sort Order: 10

Option Name: Set size
Option Value: Mega set
Default Sort Order: 20

Then go to Attributes Controller:
Option Name: Set Size
Option Value: Select your favorite
Display Only: YES
Default: YES
Click insert

Option Name: Set Size
Option Value: Mini Set
Price: 4.00
Add download details
Click Insert

Option Name: Set Size
Option Value: Mega Set
Price: 8.00
Add download details
Click insert

Once these are set you can hit Update Sort Order

Voila ... individually sellectable choices that force the customer to pick a real choice and not accidentally order the wrong thing ... :smile:

oh my that totally lost me. But I have dedicated this week to working on this site because I am determined to have what I always wanted. I'll give you a update later, thanks again so much always there to rescue to me.

Ok before I go getting excited lol is this correct?

Ok so I tested this by adding it to my cart checking out etc and all of that went fine. But when I tried to download the product it downloaded fine but it said the file was invalid or corrupted, on both of them. But I checked them and they are fine. Any thoughts?

Just tried a different zip same problem. Now on my other products they are all fine. It's just this one product that I was trying to setup this new way.

If the goal is that the customer must make a proper selection ...

and the customer may only pick one choice at a time ...

and the customer may decide to order both by returning to the product and selecting the other choice ...

then this appears to be perfect ... :smile:

What size are the files?

windows or unix server?

Is /pub set to 777

If you make a small tiny zip and add it as a download does this work?

:clap: well now I feel bad. My host and I were looking through my cpanel files last week and deleted the pub file because we couldn't figure out what it went to. Well I reuploaded and changed the permissions and everything works fine now.

I can not thank you enough for giving me the step by step instructions for doing this. I have wanted to do this for almost 6 months now. I could just cry. I have a lot of work to do now but I am just so happy! :clap:

You are most welcome ... glad that this helped you out ... :smile:

Remember us when you are rich and famous!! :cool:
