having trouble adding sizes

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have lookd through the manual, but I can't figure out how to add the drop down menu to add sizes on my product listings. I know this MUST be a simple process, but just can't find any instruction on how to do it.
i've tried adding "attributes" but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it?

thanks!

	Check the section of the manual on Product Options. You need to setup an option group and the attirbutes for that option, i.e. Size. Then you need to link the Option Group to your product(s) and set any price adjustments (if needed).

	thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, that's not working for me. I've done that, but it doesn't really do anything - it just asks me to add an attribute to the option group, I add "size" and link it to my product, and then that just seems to be it...there's nowhere to actually add the sizes, no drop down window, nothing.

	Lorid, It looks like you were trying to add the option "size" to the option group "size". The option group name is what will appear to customers on your product page, in your case "Size" would appear. On the Manage Product Options page in the control panel, it should give you the option to "Manage Attributes" for the option you've created. When you click on "Manage Attributes" you can add the list of options (sizes) that customers can choose by typing the option into the "Add New Attribute" box and clicking the "Add" button. Once you've added all of the sizes then go back to the main Manage Product Options page. You should then be able to click "Assign To" for the option "Size" and specify which of your products will get this option. Let us know if you still need more help.
