Is there A Product Attribute Option Type Mod for MS2-MAX?

[klyder]

Howdy!
Is there a mod available specifically for MS2-MAX 1.5 that will instruct me on how to add Product Attribute Options such as text boxes and radio buttons(instead of just having option-list selections as in the initial installation)?

I know that there is a contribution for MS2 (non-Max) that does this, but I'm a newbie to osCommerce and so, before I go hacking code, I want to be sure that there isn't already a better way to accomplish this.

Here's the name and URL of that contribution:

Product Attributes - Option Type Feature
http://www.OpenStoreSolutions.com/op...ntribution.php

Thanks in advance,
klyder

does this work with easypopulate?

red_fraggle, AFAIK easypopulate does not handle attributes at all.

The "Option Type Feature v1.6 for MS2-MAX v1.5.5" has been so useful! I did extend the function tep_draw_checkbox_field in html_output.php to handle disabled and checked checkboxes for fixed additional charges. I found that they don't post their values so I extended the function to also draw a hidden text field with the same name and value, and that does post ok.

  function tep_draw_checkbox_field($name, $value = '', $checked = false, $parameters = '', $required = false) {

   	$field = tep_draw_selection_field($name, 'checkbox', $value, $checked, $parameters, $required);

	// disabled checked checkboxes do not post values therefore need an associated hidden text field.
   	if ($checked == true && $parameters == 'disabled') {
   		$field.= tep_draw_hidden_field($name, $value);
   	}

	return $field;
  }

I don't seem to be able to get this mod to work, I've followed the instructions (twice!) and when I add anything but a select type option it always shows as a select type??

Any clues as to where to start looking for the problem please.

Thanks in advance

Ok, managed to get it working (well almost) - slight typo in the config file , now when I have two radio buttons against a product they are both selected and I can't de-select either of them??

Any clues folks
Thanks again in advance
Rob.

All working OK now, setting up the options incorrectly! AGAIN!

Thanks to all
Rob.

Help robroy, ive been having the same problem (select type always showing up) what did you do to fix??

Thanks a ton!
