Making ordering options line up properly

Postby Feydakin » Thu Mar 11, 2010 12:15 pm

I finally added a product with multiple ordering options here http://animalcharms.net/pets-on-pendants-engraved.php and I pretty much hate the way everything lines up in the add to cart bar.

Instead of the options being in table cells so that the titles line up over the top of the dropdowns they are just on separate lines and end up mashed to the left..

I took a quick look at the more-info template and found the code where they are displayed here

Code: Select all
[-- IF PRODUCT.DisplayOrderingOptions --]<br>
[-- IF PRODUCT.OptionText --]
[-- PRODUCT.OptionText --]
[-- END_IF --]


Has anyone already worked out a good way to do this automatically?? I could fake by stuffing &nbsp; in there to move things over, but that just seem less than elegant :)

Jiust use the option Option Text as a description of the options and not a heading of the option field. So something like Please select shape, chain length and engraving options.

Then for the order options themselves put
Shape;n
Round
Diamond

Chain length;n
16" Chain
18" Chain (+ 2.95) ;+2.95
20" Chain (+ 4.95) ;+4.95

Engraving;n
No text
Text on back (+9.95);+9.95

The ;n on the first item in each list tells ShopSite that that is not a valid selection so the shopper must make a selection before they can complete the checkout process.
