Product Options in More Info Page?

[Wezza007]

I'd like to create a page which lists a few of my products and then when the customer clicks on their desired product it brings up a page with more information where they can purchase. I can see I can do this two ways:

1. Create a page for my WIDGIT and link it to my product listing page, then create the product WIDGIT and link it to the WIDGIT page.

2. Create a product WIDGIT and link it to the product listing page, and use the MORE INFO page to give the full details of the product.

I'd prefer option two, however I'm not sure how it seems the MORE INFO page is less functional than the actual product page. I'd like to be able to offer product options on the MORE INFO page, however I'm not sure if it's possible. I've added the field [-- ORDER_OPTION_MENU LINE --] but any selections the customer makes are ignored once it's in the cart and the selections need to be made again (in the cart).

Can anyone suggest how to create these product options, and if the only way is to go with selection 1 above?

Did you put the [-- ORDER_OPTION_MENU LINE --] and your add to cart code all into a form? If your add to cart is still an a href nothing will be included when you add the item to the cart, but if everything is in a form and submitted to the cart then the options will be carried to the cart.

See the help page

and look at the section [-- PRODUCT.OptionsBox --] for an example.
