Attribute Selection Query

[lemongrass]

Hi!

I have a few products that are identical except they come in either two flavours or come as either powder or tablets. I was thinking of making them as one product and making an attribute that the customer has to select.

Is there a way to force the customer to make a selection as I'm sure many will leave the default and then perhaps complain when they didn't get the flavour etc they wanted.

Like:

Please Select
Flavour 1
Flavour 2

With Please Select as the default and somehow set that it must be changed from Please Select to be accepted, if that makes sense?

Can this be done!

Thanks
Ernie

I need this as well. Can anyone write this? I'm willing to pay.

You can add a javascript code that will check if any of the attributes were changed from their original value, if they were not, you can display an alert to the user.
If that works for you I can help with the code.

Hi tomerg3

javascript would be fine. Just let me know how much you want for the work.

Thanks

I wrote a "How To" for making those changes.

I wanted to place it here, but I couldn't highlight text inside a CODE tag.

I have added it to my site at http://www.presto-changeo.com/content/7-default-attribute-alert

You can see it working at http://www.presto-changeo.com/125/product.php?id_product=2

Feel free to donate what you see fit, there's a paypal donate button in my site.

Let me know if you have any trouble with it.
