I have 8 different product options, I want to set them in different places. How to do, please?

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you saying you want your product options displayed somewhere other than where they normally are displayed, or are you asking how to get those same product options for different products?

[Eyeglasses Expert]

both, please.

To display your product options somewhere other than normal, look in product_details.tpl for whatever skin you are using, specifically find where it says
{if $active_modules.Product_Options ne ""}.

Product options are set individually for each product.

Would you please give some examples?

for example, i have set up 2 options, color and size:

Color
red=+1
green=+2

Size
big
small=+7

What do you mean by "+1", "+2", and "+7"?

Price Modifier
red=+1, means if choose red, add $1
green=+2, means if choose green, add $2.

Ok, the best solution there would probably be to make them product variants.
You can set the price individually and it will change when the customer chooses it. The only drawback, if you count it as one, is that the SKU will change for each variant (but you can make them whatever you want as long as they are not duplicated).

You can also eliminate unavailable combinations when there is more than one option per product... for instance, what if the customer orders "green" and "small" and you don't have that available to sell, ever.

Hi JWait,

I tried to add the following to skin1/customer/main/featured.tpl, however product variant doesn't appears next to concerned products in homepage/featured products :

{if $active_modules.Product_Options ne ""}
      {include file="modules/Product_Options/customer_options.tpl"}
    {/if}

I tried both before and after the existing {/if} statement without success.

Can you help me more ?
Thanks.
