Can I control the quantities of Ordering Options?

Sample, in this page: http://www.sportsxgear.com/fox-racing/p ... losion.htm I have Ordering Options inside the dropdown box. However, I wanted to control the quantities of each line. How will I do it?

you cannot control the quantity of ordering options. You could make each of the options a separate product and assign them to a parent product and then you can keep track of the quantity of each. Doing this you can have the same look as ordering options by displaying the subproducts in a dropdown list like the ordering options are displayed. There have been several topic in this forum that demonstrate how this is done. Here is a link to one topic:

Thanks Jim, actually I tried that procedure but Im having problems when I assign 5 or more subproducts to my main product thats why I switch back to having Ordering Options instead. But I will again do that procedure and if I encounter the same error, I will inform you. Again, thanks.

Hey Jim, Thanks. My product page is working properly now. Im not sure what happened before. I wanna ask what is the purpose of cross_sell: checked in the sbdata.aa file? There is no difference if the have it "checked" or none.

By the way, I found an issue here. When I have this page "send to a friend", I noticed that the name of the link that will reflect in email is the name of the first sub product. It should be the name of the Parent Product right? How will I do this?

And also, when I search the item, the search page will list all the subproducts. Can I turn off listing of subproducts in search pages?

[gene]

Tell a friend issue is already ok.. Now its only the Search page the will list the subproducts names.

[Jim]

Go to Preferences > Search Settings > Search indexing and check the box Ignore Subproducts during indexing.

Please search Fox Racing. I will still have the subproducts. I already "checked" Ignore Subproducts during indexing.

what does your search product template (sportsxgear-search-template) contain for the [-- DEFINE Product --] section? Does it include a [-- LOOP subproducts--]? if so that is the reason they are displaying. just remove that section and it should work.

[-- LOOP SEARCH 8 --]
[-- IF SEARCHLINK --]
<!--
[-- END_IF --]

<td valign="top">[-- SEARCHRESULT --]</td>

[-- IF SEARCHLINK --]
-->
[-- END_IF --]
[-- VAR.pa_search_result "true" --]
[-- END_LOOP SEARCH--]

but in the Link Template Override, I used "search_link" and Product Template Override, I used CurvedSearchProductTemplate.sst.

[Jim]

Make a copy of the CurvedSearchProductTemplate.sst and use it for your search product template override.
Then try deleting this section or comment it out with a # as the very first character of the line

Code: Select all

      [-- LOOP SUBPRODUCTS --]
          </td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
          <td>[-- SUBPRODUCTS --]
     [-- END_LOOP SUBPRODUCTS --]

Hey Jim, Thanks. Actually I used my own template as override and Im confident its better.
