product variants

Posted on 04/09/2008 10:07:34

Hi! We have a customer that wants to have the product variants placed in a drop-down menu

I have managed to put all the variants in a drop-down-menu, but how do I pass the variant on to the cart? In the example templates the 'buy' links are renered inside the VariantCombinations-loop,

these tags dont seem to render outside this loop

any Ideas/tips?

You just need to supply variant combination to the querystring, e.g. default.aspx?id=1&productid=PM19&cartcmd=add&variantid=VO1.VO10.

To get the value from the drop down, if it's not embedded in the form, use Javascript:

variantid = document.getElementById("DropDownID")[document.getElementById("DropDownID").selectedIndex].value;

I have done this little funktion:

function addToBasket()
{
variantID = document.getElementById("selectColor")[document.getElementById("selectColor").selectedIndex].value;
var url = "/default.aspx?id=&productid=&variantid="+variantID+"&cartcmd=add";
window.location.href = url;
}

I get stuck at the frontpage, but the variant is put into the basket. Is there any better way to do this?

What do you mean with "get stuck at the frontpage"?

You can link to any page you like, as long as the product ID, the variant ID and the cartcmd are in the query string.

Hope this helps,
