Create Drop Down Menu for Multiple items

Postby sdps » Thu Aug 24, 2006 8:42 am

I want to create a drop down menu that contains all of our products in one drop down menu sorted by SKU and then description. The customer can choose the item they want and then input the quantity in a text box.

I will create 5-10 of these drop down menus that each contain all of the products and these menus will be on one page.

After they have chosen what they want and quantity, I would like there to be just one add to cart button that will add all of the items they ordered.

Can anyone provide help on this? Or refer me to an example ot this in use? This page does not have to be pretty just functional.

Thank you!

Order Anywhere Format

I should also say that I need this to be in an order anywhere format as we do not use product pages at all.

Here's an example of how to set this up. It is not possible with straight HTML to have a quantity box. ShopSite doesn't allow that with a drop down menu. You can have a quantity box if you list each item individually but not in a drop down menu format.

The option value number that you see is a number assigned by ShopSite that you would not know about because you do not use those numbers. It is not the item code or the SKU. You can View ShopSite Solution S04174 to learn how to obtain those numbers.


<form action="http://www.yourdomain.com/sc/order.cgi" method="post">
<div align="center">
<input type=hidden name="storeid" value="*yourstoreid">
<input type=hidden name="dbname" value="products">
<input type=hidden name="function" value="add">
<SELECT name="itemnum">
<option value="" selected>Select Product
<option value="794"> 1304: Worlds Fastest Opening Knife </option>
<option value="795"> 1705RB: Black Hardwood Tonfa - Pair </option>
<option value="1156"> 3101: Ninja Kubotan Keychain </option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="Add to Cart" value="Add to Cart" border="0">
<input type="submit" name="checkout" value="View Cart" border="0">
</div>
</form>

Just thought I'd share what I learned in case someone else wanted to do this.
