Re: Mandatory Product Options Selection

easy, fill in the validation box for the option. So for a given option named "OPTION", first item "SELECT ONE":

Code:

if (product_option('OPTION').selectedIndex == 0){

 alert('Please select product option.'); 

 return false;} 

else{ return true; }

So if the user doesnt change the option from "SELECT ONE" it will alert them and not allow adding to cart.

Re: Mandatory Product Options Selection

I have been using this code for a couple of years and it works great, except I discovered a problem. If I enable the Buy Now feature, the customer is not prompted to make any choices - the product gets added to the cart and they can checkout, bypassing the necessary choice. Any suggestions?

I've disabled the buy it now button. It doesnt make much sense as most of my products have options/colors/sizes so.....

Re: Mandatory Product Options Selection

I figured out my problem: In the Product Options Options, I needed to check the "A customer using the "Buy now" button to order a product with product options must be redirected to the product details:" box in addition to the Appearance Options having the "Enable "Buy Now" button in the products list:" box checked.

Re: Mandatory Product Options Selection

Question - I have entered the code in the validation box for One of my Options. I have serveral Options that I need to use this code on (for one item). What changes do I need to make to the code so that it will work with multiple Options?
