<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

My solution to this whole Contribution was to remove it completely and install a different on called: Product Attributes - Option Type Feature This is the contrib.
This is the discussion thread Thread

After some fiddling as per usual, I got this working well and it also gives a number of additional benifits like text fields, check boxes as well as standard input fields and if client want to enter multiple item with different names or something like that it will list them individually, BIG plus.

Sorry to the other contributors of this contribution but I think this one is a bit of a dud.

There was a chap who posted somewhere in this thread that they were going to rewrite this solution to accomodate such functionality, perhaps sending him a PM may get yous ome answers.

Actually 'gob' was the chap and he has just posted his recommendation above.

Great contrib you posted! Any chance I can see this in action on your site?

Here is a link that shows a couple of the available fields types in action.

There may be a bit of a problem with radio buttons but I have not realy worked with them as much as I could because what I have got is fine for me at the moment.

when you add the template system contrib (STS) the text options won't show up .
any ideas how to solve this.

[pixelhub]

is it posible to add somthing like this

<input type="text" name="custom" OnKeyUp="quantity.value = this.value.length"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="price"  value=".60">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" SIZE="2" NAME="quantity" VALUE=""> @ 0.60

i would like to count the letters that are typed and give each letter a value

for example:

0.60 per letter

so if a five letter word was typed in it would add 3.00 to the basket.

Hi. The contribution works well for me.

I have one issue though.

If enter a value into the text field for example 'My Text 1' and add the product to the cart. Then continue shopping or return to the same product and enter 'My Text 2' into the text field and add this same product to the cart. I end up with 1 order with 'My Text 2' in the text field and quantity 2.

What I need is to be able to have multiple text's against an order that may have multiple quantites of the same item.

I'd be quite happy to do the work but my knowledge of PHP is not great. Anyone have any ideas?

I modified (well rewrote it!) this solution to do exactly what you asked but I have not had time to turn it into a useful package for others to download. I am so busy getting a clients store online I just don't have the time. SORRY!

You mat wish to consider this : Product Attributes - Option Type Feature

I can't get this to show up when using Simple Template System (STS). Does anyone have a fix for this?

I'm also looking for something like pixelhub was looking for.... We charge $0.20 per letter for engraving and we'd like to be able to count the letters and apply the charge.

Thanks.

I am having the same problem, did you find a solution. I am using the oscmax version.

My dropdown box appears but if I select to use a textbox, radio, or checkbox it will not work.

ANy help would be appreciated.

[breamillman]

A few questions:


1) Anyone know how to get the TEXT ATTRIBUTES (or any attributes) to SHOW IN the EMAIL ORDER copy??? It seems to only show in admin- but not in any of the emails.

2) This 1 i'm sure is easy- but I can't seem to find the right area of code.. Where do I change the SIZE OF THE TEXT BOX? It seems rather small (although I know text keeps typing past the end of the box) but the box itself gets lost in the product page and customers need huge neon lights that say type here!! So I just want the box bigger but can't find the code!

3) Anyone figure out how to allow the SAME PRODUCT to be ADDED more than once to the cart without losing product a's text info?? and I've tried the other contrib - option text type or whatever it's called and it sucks (installed 3 times and never got it working) -- so this is the contrib for me.

Many Thanks in advance!!

Some way for the store admin to specify whther the number of text attributes is related to the quantity ordered. For example if 3 of the same item are ordered then 3 text attributes can be specified.

The attribute may not necessarily be text input, could it be easily modifiable so that a 'option' box could be used.

Ok, Here is the sequence of events:

As you can see i get check boxes when setting up a product.

In the catalog when one selected is just shown as text and not a text box!
Any ideas?
Thanks

i would like to know if anyone can let me know. how should the code be if I would like to have the shopping_cart.php to allow key the extra field instead of inside the product_info.php page.

I am also having no problems with the contrib as it stands except when the customer orders more than one of the item, which have different imprints. We only get the details for last item ordered. Has this mystery been solved?

[Squintz]

I had to add this line to /admin/includes

Quote

define('FILENAME_TEXT_ATTRIBUTES', 'text_attributes.php');

Also, when i first installed I got an error that i needed to turn register_globals on. This is a security risk so i didnt do it. Instead I put the my old application_top.php which was fixed from register globals mod and then manually added your code sections from that file.

Lastly as you see in the image above there is that ugly Constant value showing up in the text attributes admin page. And it says TEXT_DISPLAY_NUMBER_OF_TEXT_ATTRIBUTES. I am trying to track down the source of this now so if anyone already has a fix for it please let me know what it is.

[Gisele]

I've got this installed and it seems to be displayed in admin no problem. I can assign an attribute to a product - ok so far.
Customer goes in, picks product, types in text for custom name. Proceeds to checkout.
text attribute shows up in "What's in My Cart", but does not showup in Checkout Confirmation. I compared the code and it's the same. So even proceeding, I checked out to see what would happen.

The order gets added.
Go into admin to view orders, the text attributes do not display for that order. I went direct into the database, and nothing is in the text attributes table for that order.

I sent back to the contribution and made sure I got everything. I'm at a loss :(

Any ideas?

[Squintz]

I think this contribution is a dud right now. I just tried to install the other day and had similar issues. Others have had many problems also if you read back through a few post. As suggested in another post in this thread I went ahead and uninstalled this mod and installed a much better one from http://forums.oscommerce.com/index.php?showtopic=57259&st=0

That mod is not perfect either but it atleast works. Search for its discussion thread and you will see the last two post are mine and what little issues I had with it. Once I get a solid store setup I will probably go back and contribute to that mod. There needs to be a way to add some better logic to it.

I would like to see a way to group attributes together. For example.... I am selling furniture and there are differnt colors available for differnt materials. So I would like a way to link a set of radio buttons(materials) and based apon the selected radio button would determine what items to place in the list boxes.

Also I would like to see the attibutes page become a little better organized and not have to fill out three forms just to setup one item. You should be able to great attribute Groups and then assign those groups to the item. That way similar items can easily be setup with the attributes.
