Product options radio buttons instead of dropdown list

Post by mouse_8b » Thu Oct 28, 2010 10:09 am

Hello,
Our store sells pet food, and there are generally 2-3 sizes of bag per item. I have each of the sizes set up as a different variant. I think it would be easier on the customer if, for the variants, they saw radio buttons instead of the dropdown list. I looked through the code, but it looks like everything is put together in BuyProductDialog.ascx.cs in one fell swoop:

Code: Select all

//BUILD PRODUCT CHOICES
ProductHelper.BuildProductChoices(_Product, phOptions);
Is it possible to create a radio button list, or are the means to do that locked away in ProductHelper.BuildProductChoices?

Running 7.0.2

It would be in the ProductHelper.cs and you have access to that in the App_Code folder.

Thank you! I'm a bit new to AC, so I'm still figuring out where everthing is.

Hello,
I am experiencing the same issue on my website and I was wondering if you could post a link to your website so I can see how you managed to pull it off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I actually didn't get around to implementing this. I learned to deal with the drop down. Since you brought my attention back to this, I may implement it. If I do, I'll post a link.

Can someone please explain how to create radio buttons for Options and Variants instead of the drop downs.

i'd like to see a way to have the flexibility of choice-type like the kit products. using radio buttons for variant products would be advantageous.
