Hi.

Please help.
I will like to remove the product attribute drop-down box if there is only one attribute.
When only one attribute is listed, the attribute, will be shown as normal text.!

[spooks]

Use tep_db_num_rows & dont use drop if = 1

[JNKeil]

Hi Sam.

Will you please tell me where and what to change in this line.
<?php echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?>

I believe that this is here I have to change something... :-)

[spooks]

yes, loop around with

if (tep_db_num_rows ($products_options_query) != 1)

Not sure if you found the answer yet, but if you didn't, I think I can help.

I'm assuming if there is only one attribute, you want to display it, just not in a drop-down box.

This is what I did (although it might not be the best way, it works):

Go to catalog > includes > functions > html_output.php

Paste this function at the bottom of the page, right before the ?>

function tep_draw_not_pull_down_menu($name, $values, $default = '', $parameters = '', $required = false) {
global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS;

if (tep_not_null($parameters)) $field .= ' ' . $parameters;

if (empty($default) && ( (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name]) && is_string($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name])) || (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name]) && is_string($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name])) ) ) {
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name]) && is_string($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name])) {
$default = stripslashes($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name]);
} elseif (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name]) && is_string($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name])) {
$default = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name]);
}
}

for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($values); $i<$n; $i++) {
$field .= tep_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '&quot;', '\'' => ''', '<' => '&lt;', '>' => '&gt;'));
}

if ($required == true) $field .= TEXT_FIELD_REQUIRED;

return $field;
}

Now go to product_info.php

Find:

<td class="main"><?php echo $products_options_name['products_options_name'] . ':'; ?></td>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?></td>

Replace with:

<td class="main"><?php echo $products_options_name['products_options_name'] . ':'; ?></td>
<?php if (tep_db_num_rows ($products_options_query) != 1) { ?>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?></td>
<?php } else { ?>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_not_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?></td>
<?php } ?>


Now, if there is only 1 option associated with an attribute, it won't display the drop-down, but if there is more than one, it will.

Hope this helps.

Hi David,

I tried adding the code but it generates an SQL from this piece of code. I think this line is the problem.

$field .= tep_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '&quot;', '\'' => ''', '<' => '&lt;', '>' => '&gt;'));

Can you have a look and see if it's as you have it in your site?

cheers,

ruan

Can you copy and paste the error your getting for me? I don't get an error on my site. Thanks.

hey, thanks for the reply

when i look at the code in dreamweaver I can see that all of this :

'));
}

if ($required == true) $field .= TEXT_FIELD_REQUIRED;

return $field;
}

?>

is in red, not black and blue with a bit of red.

henc my comment about this line maybe having an error:

{
$field .= tep_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '&quot;', '\'' => ''', '<' => '&lt;', '>' => '&gt;'));
}

Also, the actual error points to the line above.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in Shop\includes\functions\html_output.php on line 347

I see what the problem is. The post isn't displaying the html correctly. Not sure how to fix that.

The correct line is this:

for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($values); $i<$n; $i++) {
$field .= tep_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '&quot;', '\'' => '&_#_0_3_9;', '<' => '&lt;', '>' => '&gt;'));
}

Remove the underscores from &_#_0_3_9; and you should be good to go.

If anyone can tell me the proper way to display code without the browser trying to interpret it, I would be most appreciative.

[apephoto222]

Im trying to do the same thing. Have you found anything out about how to do it?

[vmjarala]

I know this is pretty old, but I wonder if anyone still following this topic has found a solution. I have tried everything recommended and it did not work. I have v2.3.1 and found the code does not look exactly as stated above, but I made all the necessary adjustments (I think.) Let me know if anyone has found a solution! Thanks!

[foxp2]

another way to do it (no need to create a function)
change (in product_info.php) :

	  <?php echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?>

with :

	  <?php echo (sizeof($products_options_array) == 1 ) ? tep_draw_radio_field('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array[0]['id'], true) . $products_options_array[0]['text'] :  tep_draw_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?>

[vmjarala]

That's great! Merci, Laurent!

However, if I can do without the radio button, that would be even better. I made a little tweak to your code and erased the 'text' (' '), so all I have is a radio button... so much better than before.

Any other thoughts?

Merci beaucoup!

yes, it's possible. tep_draw_hidden_field is the key :

	  <?php echo (sizeof($products_options_array) == 1 ) ? tep_draw_hidden_field('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array[0]['id']) . $products_options_array[0]['text'] :  tep_draw_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_name['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute); ?>

[vmjarala]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
Yikes, I can't believe it was that easy...

[patrickluursema]

Works like a charm!

[MishaB]

Help! I need a charm, too ...

I have a similar wish, but the solution above doesn't work for me.

I have 6 attributes in the drop-down field, but don't want to show them to customers.
What do I need to do that always the first attribut is selected and no drop-down menu is shown?

I would be thankful for any help or ideas!

[DunWeb]

@MishaB,

Your scenario is a bit confusing. Why do you have 6 attributes but the customer is only allowed to choose 1 ? If there is only 1 to be selected, then remove the other 5 !

[MishaB]

@DunWeb:
I didn't wanted to write a novel (which I usually do when I want to explain something) ... :)

The customer always receive 6 different download links at the end of the purchase. I wanted to give them a lot of options and they can choose by themselfes in the end what works best for them. I didn't wanted to put every file in a zip-folder, so I created 6 different options which are all available at the checkout_success.php.

Now, I just don't want to confuse the customer before buying (because you see - there is no need for it!)

I want to make everything as customer friendly as possible ... :)
