When I add the javascript validation, it disables the OUT OF STOCK javascript standard warning, and when a customer chooses a variant that is not in stock, and clicks the Add to cart button, it redirects to the cart (instead of the javascript alert that says OUT OF STOCK).

[TL408]

Have you had a chance to try this mod with the ver 4.1.9 release? I tried applying your modifications as shown below and added the validation codes below into the "Validation Script (Javascript)" section of the product options.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------if (document.getElementById('po3').selectedIndex == 0)
{ alert('Please select a size for your item.'); return false;
}
if (document.getElementById('po4').selectedIndex == 0)
{ alert('Please select a color for your item.'); return false;
}
else return true;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It doesn't work as expected. Am I missing something? When the customer click "Add to Cart", IE throw up the "error on page" message.

Thanks

Here are the changes I made to my customer_options.tpl, as a reference (version 4.1.8 )

FIND:

{foreach from=$v.options item=o}
    <option value="{$o.optionid}"{if $o.selected eq 'Y'} selected="selected"{/if}>{$o.option_name}{if $v.is_modifier eq 'Y' && $o.price_modifier ne 0} ({if $o.modifier_type ne '%'}{include file="currency.tpl" value=$o.price_modifier display_sign=1 plain_text_message=1}{else}{$o.price_modifier}%{/if}){/if}</option>
{/foreach}

REPLACE WITH:

{* I have 2 products that have a single-color option -- they will someday have more than one so I need to exclude these 2 products from this mod...
if you don't need to exclude any products, make the next line go away *}
{if $product.productid ne '9' && $product.productid ne '3' }
{* BEGIN "PLEASE SELECT" MOD *}
<option>Please Select Your {$v.classtext|default:$v.class}...{if $o.selected eq 'Y'} selected="selected"{/if}</option> {/if}
{foreach from=$v.options item=o}
    <option value="{$o.optionid}">{$o.option_name}{if $v.is_modifier eq 'Y' && $o.price_modifier ne 0} ({if $o.modifier_type ne '%'}{include file="currency.tpl" value=$o.price_modifier display_sign=1 plain_text_message=1}{else}{$o.price_modifier}%{/if}){/if}</option>
{/foreach}

Mike -- this a GREAT addition. Thank you!

And this is how my "skin1\modules\Product_Options\customer_options.tp l" file looks.

Is there an easier way to do this in 4.1.9? You would think x-cart would already have it so that a customer would have to choose a product option rather than it selecting a default one.

[carpeperdiem]

read post #12 and #18

[brandfly]

Ya, post #12 and #18 work fine, I was just hoping that x-cart would make this an easier fix in future versions. It seems like a simple feature, but oh well, a boy can dream.

[jcorneli]

I am getting the warning line "Please select your size" as the second line on my drop down and "select size" on my first line. The warning works on line 1 but just returns me when I select line 2. Where did I go wrong?

[sparker2]

I have version 4.16 and cannot get this to work. when I click on an option nothing happens. It will not add it to the cart.

[Doctored Locks]

First let me say, Thank You!!! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Everything is working but the validation script, and like everyone else I recieve an error when I add it. So for now I am leaving it out.

I'm using Version 4.1.11 and I was wondering if anyone has found a fix for the validation script yet.

Thanks,

Ryan

thanks a bunch carpeperdiem, worked like a charm.

EDIT:

all of the current store items have multiple size options with each size option having its own unique item number.

with this mod in place, the 'item no.' in the details area of an item is defaulting to the the lowest item number.

we would like to have this not be the case UNTIL a size is chosen. any way of having a unique item number along with this mod? or perhaps have the item no. not show until a size is selected? or simply have that field be blank?

i am attaching a pic to hopefully show what i am speaking of.

thanks in advance for any help.
