Does anyone know how to show the product options drop-down in the category page?

I've tried including the template file but it doesn't display anything. I suspect there are some smarty variables available on the product display page that don't exist in the category page.

Thanks in advance.





Using X-cart 4.4.0

If 4.4.x is like previous versions - it is not a trivial change. Because of the way XCART handles options & variants, to get all that information for each product on the products page could potentially significantly increase the load time for that page, depending on how many products are being displayed.

If you want to see what it took on previous versions - you can start with this thread.

There are also mods available that help if you want customers to be able to order from a single page - like QuickOrder - but you will need to look into compatibility with your version.

Damn, I was hoping that wasn't the case.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.
