Hi Claus

Take a look at this page:

http://ecommerce.dynamicweb.dk/Default.aspx?ID=48&ProductID=PROD24

Is it something like this you need ?

There are 2 possible ways of displaying variants in ecommerce.

1. Like the link above where it lists all SELECTED combinations

2. Or all POSSIBLE combinations.

I don't have an example for number 2 since it more or less useless.

What would happen when you run out of the 'blue' variable ?

But I can pretty fast make an example if that is the case.

Thanks, Sebastian

Yes, a combined picklist like this would do the job.

And yes, only valid combinations are relevant (i.e. those combinations selected among all possible combinatins under the "Variants" tab in the product data).

I am aware that there is no stock control without the extended variant functionality.

Is this template available somewhere?

One problem though: It doesn't seem to work 100%. I was unable to purchase one bike of each color. After selection, the variant picklist defaults to "nothing selected".

Sebastian - is this termplate available anywhere, in working condition?

Yes Sebatsian- it is the same link as in your first reply, but it is not an example to follow. I've been there, done that and burst into tears once more.

It doesn't work for me.

Once you select blue, the picklist defaults back to "nothing selected".
It is not possible for me to put a blue bike into the basket.
 

Neither a red one.

So, the presentation is fine, but the functionality is not.

Help?

Hi Claus

Yes I'm posting the same link again because it actually works.

If you look at the product name you will see that it changes from blue to red when you select another variant.

And yes the selctbox does not show what you selected, since I haven't done the JavaScript for that yet.  But you can see that in the product name.

When you get to the basket, all you need to do is inserting the

@LoopStart(VariantCombinations) and @LoopEnd(VariantCombinations)

Then your variants will be shown there as well.

Ach so... Yes.

I didn't see it. Most users won't, since their attention is focused on the variant, not exting as expected. But you're working on it :o)

This is for Variants extended.

Hope it will work better in a standard setup...
