product attributes - "option type" dropdown missin

[Lobotaman]

This is fantastic news!

I am really happy to hear that somebody is working on it and I'm especially happy to hear that the "somebody" is you!

I can't tell you how depressed I've been since I heard "Option Type Attribute" was removed from oscMax 2.0. Especially since I have no need for QTPro (which I know is a wonderful contribution for most businesses).

I need the "Option Type Attribute" feature more than anything and I'm hating the thought of going to base osCommerce and giving up so many other "nice-to-haves" that you guys have put in oscMax.

Thanks for the update.

Can you give me an idea of how we can obtain the Max 2.0 RC2 with the results of your work?

Thanks again,

Lobo

Not available yet.... Killed much of QTPRO code (relating to differnt types of attribs). Need to do more testing/fixing. At first glance the stock part of QTPRO seams to work with the ATTRIBS of Options Type, But getting the SEQUENCED ATTRIBS needs a rewrite of both QT & OP. Also have to test the STOCK TRACKING of the ATTRIBS part more.

it says, "Set the Option Type equal to 'Text'. This is done using the option type dropdown. (If you don't see an option type dropdown, then you likely didn't install the admin files that came with this feature.)"

I don't see an option type dropdown. I'm wondering where these admin files are that came with the "Product Attributes" feature. All I did was install a normal OSCMax (RC2) install, I wan't aware of any extra admin files that needed installing in order for all of the mods to work.

Anyway, if anyone could point me to these files so that I could install them, that'd be great, thank you

Has this issue been resolved? I have the exact same problem as quoted here. Attributes work as long as you select a drop down list but there is no option for text attributes?

This is an important feature, any help would be appreciated.
