add item options size/color?

say I had a tee-shirt to sell and it came in blue, red and white, small, medium and large.. how can I add these as options when purchasing the tee-shirt?

OK read that, got it.. but I’m still not getting the options showing in the cart

Stiletto Nail Tips pack of 10 assorted<br>USD $10.00<br>
<input type='hidden' name='on0' value='Size'>Size:
<select name="os0">
<option value="Select a Size">Select
<option value="Small">Small
<option value="Medium">Medium
<option value="Large">Large
</select>
<input type='hidden' name='on1' value='Color'>Color:
<select name="os1">
<option value="Select a Color">Select
<option value="Red">Red
<option value="Blue">Blue
<option value="White">White
</select>

oh but the editor keeps changing the single to double quote marks ;(

OH OH OH… I see where I’m having an issue here.. You have it adding the option code to the “store” template I was adding it to the item description.. Now, having moved the option code to the store template it not only adds the options when “adding to cart” it displays much nicer too..

But now the issue is not every item in the cart will have these exact option choices.. how to handle that?

Better not great yet..

I think I am over analyzing this 🙂

Here’s what I did.. Copied the STORE template to a new template:
store_size_only
and removed the code for the color option

that gives me the code:
[catablog template=”store_size_only”]
but that produces 22 lines with the size dropdowns and add to cart button ONLY– no image, title or description..

changing the code to:
[catablog_gallery id=”69″ template=”store_size_only”]
produces the exact same result, 22 lines with the size dropdowns and add to cart button ONLY– no image, title or description..

changing the code to:
[catablog_gallery id=”69″ template=”store_size_only” category=”size_only”]
(2 items have been assigned to size-only category, 1 item has been assigned to size-color category)
produces the exact same result, 22 lines with the size dropdowns and add to cart button ONLY no image, title or description..

changing it to:
[catablog template=”store_size_only” category=”size_only”]
has no change either..

changing to:
[catablog category=”size_only”]
does give me ONLY the 2 items in the size_only category with the size dropdowns and add to cart button ONLY– no image, title or description..

now changing to:
[catablog template=”store_size_only” category=”size_only”]
does give me ONLY the 2 items in the size_only category with the size dropdowns and add to cart button ONLY no image, title or description. The links are correct so if I choose a size and add to cart it does this correctly..

Using
[catablog category=”size_color”]
gives me everything.. image 2 dropdowns, add to cart

Right now it is set at:
[catablog category=”size_only” template=”store_size_only”]
[catablog category=”size_color”]

OK I got it now.. I did have to take the default and merge it with the store to create:

<div class='catablog-row %CATEGORY-SLUGS%'>
	<div class="catablog-images-column">
		%MAIN-IMAGE%
		%SUB-IMAGES%
	</div>

	<h3 class='catablog-title'>%TITLE-LINK%</h3>

	<div class="catablog-description">
		<p>%DESCRIPTION%</p>
<form method='post' action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr' target='paypal'>
	<input type='hidden' name='cmd' value='_cart'>
	<input type='hidden' name='business' value='wkdwich@gmail.com'>
	<input type='hidden' name='item_name' value='%TITLE-TEXT%'>
	<input type='hidden' name='item_number' value='%PRODUCT-CODE%'>
	<input type='hidden' name='amount' value='%PRICE%'>

<input name='on0' type='hidden' value='Size' />Size:
<select name="os0">
<option value="Select a Size">Select</option>
<option value="Small">Small</option>
<option value="Medium">Medium</option>
<option value="Large">Large</option>
</select>

	<input type='hidden' name='shipping' value='3.00'>
	<input type='hidden' name='shipping2' value='0.50'>
	<input type='hidden' name='currency_code' value='USD'>
	<input type='hidden' name='return' value='http://www.nailtech.com/NTmain'>
	<input type='hidden' name='quantity' value='1'>
	<input type='hidden' name='add' value='1'>
	<input type='image' src='http://images.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but22.gif' border='0' name='submit' width='87' height='23' alt='Add to Cart'>
</form>
</div>

</div>

and that did the trick using:
[catablog category="size_only" template="store_size_only"]

IMHO though this is really backwards.. I feel the options should be attached to the items/images.. thats where my first stab at this was headed.. this item needs options color R,B&G, that one needs G, W&Blk, the other item needs both a color and size choice, but not all sizes are available. the last item has all sizes available but no color choices.. see where I’m trying to head with this? <G> the categories still are very useful in grouping and sorting.
