Question:
I'm using an e-commerce system which allows you to have several variations for each product - (for instance: large, medium, small t-shirts). However, we are having complaints from customers who add a t-shirt and ignore the variation. As a result, a lot of big people are getting small t-shirts (the default). To solve this, I'd like to force the user to choose a radio button (instead of a drop-down select list), and only then will the add to cart button become available. Here is the current php which displays the select drop-down;
<?php while (have_variation_groups()) : the_variation_group(); ?> <?php /** variation HTML and loop */?> <select class='select_variation' name="variation[<?php echo variation_id(); ?>]" id="<?php echo variation_group_form_id(); ?>"> <?php while (have_variations()) : the_variation(); ?> <option value="<?php echo the_variation_id(); ?>"><?php echo the_variation_name(); ?></option> <?php endwhile; ?> </select> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php echo add_to_cart_button(the_product_id()); ?> Which spits out this sort of html...
<select class='select_variation' name="variation[1]" id="variation_select_22_1"> <option value="1">Small</option> <option value="2">Big</option> </select> <input type='submit' id='product_22_submit_button' class='buy_button' name='Buy' value="Add To Cart" /> How would you suggest I convert the drop-down to radio button, and make sure the add-to-cart button is not clickable until they have chosen a variation? Thanks
Solution:1
I'm not a PHP developer, so sorry in advance if I butcher the language...
This should get you the list of radio buttons:
<?php while (have_variation_groups()) : the_variation_group(); ?> <?php /** variation HTML and loop */?> <ul class='select_variation' name="variation[<?php echo variation_id(); ?>]" id="<?php echo variation_group_form_id(); ?>"> <?php while (have_variations()) : the_variation(); ?> <li><input type="radio" name="variation[<?php echo variation_id(); ?>]" value="<?php echo the_variation_id(); ?>"/><?php echo the_variation_name(); ?></li> <?php endwhile; ?> </ul> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php echo add_to_cart_button(the_product_id()); ?> Which will hopefully give you something like this:
<ul class='select_variation' name="variation[1]" id="variation_select_22_1"> <li><input type="radio" name="variation[1]" value="1" />Small</li> <li><input type="radio" name="variation[1]" value="2" />Big</li> </ul> <input type='submit' id='product_22_submit_button' class='buy_button' name='Buy' value="Add To Cart" /> Then you can use some jQuery to enable the button when one of the options is clicked:
$(function() { $('.buy_button').attr('disabled', 'true'); $('ul li input').click(function() { $('.buy_button').removeAttr('disabled'); }); }); You might also consider just adding a dummy 'Please select' item to the existing drop down and making it the default.
Solution:2
Why not add a default option with a value of 0 and text "Please Choose Size"?
