color and size variants

Post by robaorl » Wed Jul 28, 2010 11:07 am

I have products in grids
a product (slipper) has multiple colors
and standard sizes for them
The variants are refreshed with inventory every minute
the goal is to show what sizes are available for a color selected
if a size is not available it should either be grayed out (ideal) or not shown
The problem I have is taht the sizes don't show until the color is selected.
I understand this for slecting other colors, but
the initial product page should come up with all colors and sizes
Now, it shows colows but you have to click on a color to get the sizes.
I have a simple produuct with just one color and two size options
The sizes won't appear until the only color is selected
Customers don'y get it
They think the site is broken.
How do I get the default sizes to appear when the item page loads, then when the customer oicks a color they get the realtime size view?

I don't think that link applies to what I'm trying to do.
I'd like the sizes to appear when the item page is generated (it could use the first color variant for sizes).
Right now, the sizes do not appear until the customer clicks on a color, even if there is only 1 color.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated

What if you use Product With Option Grid as product details page instead of normal product details page. This will list all available variants with add to cart button.
