I've just worked with QT about this, and they've updated the manual with this fix:
http://help.qtmsoft.com/index.php?title=X-Cart:Product_Options#How_to_prohibit_customers_fro m_adding_a_p...select ion.3F

I've implemented it for 4.4.1 and it's working great!

Hey guys, I have been reading this thread and I was wondering if it would also work to give all my products the option of download or ship hard copy?

Any help would be appreciated.

I dont want to have to put two identical product in the store just to achieve a simple selection of , e-goods or ship a hard copy product.

Thanks!

I don't suppose they mentioned how to avoid having to enter a "Quantity in Stock" for the non selectable variants did they?

[Mr. G]

What do you mean by non selectable variants? Give an example.

Like you have:

Shirt Color: Select Color
Shirt Size: Select Size

The JS gives an error on those if selected. But, you still have to assign a "Quantity in stock" to those two variants. So, that quantity never changes because they can't be selected. But every variant under those that CAN be selected changes the quantity.

Basically, if you put in 10 for the above fields, and you actually only have 2 items in stock it looks pretty messed up.

That make any sense? Kinda of confusing to explain.

If you use that workaround, it wrecks your low stock notification.

I see what you mean. You have to add a Quantity to your "select" variants even though they can't be purchased, otherwise if you have "disable products that are out of stock" checked it won't show up. Then, if all of your "colors" and "sizes" are "out of stock" (quantity = 0) your product still shows up because you still have some "Select Colors" and "Select Sizes" left in stock ( quantity ne 0) even though the customer can't purchase any of this product. You're right, pretty messed up.

Yeah, it's a drag cause it renders inventory tracking completely useless.

I added this and it works great except Item1 is the default in the drop down box not the Please Select Color.How can I change this?

p.s. They are ordered corectly also

Please Select Color
Item1
Item2
Item3

In your "variants" for the product you need to make "Please Select Color" as the default (DEF checkbox on the right).
