Options and non-Option items?

Options and non-Option items?

I have a page that lists items with Options. The user selects a drop-down addition That works.

However, on the same page, items with no options might appear and I'm having a hard time thinking of a creative way to have both.

What's the best way to handle this?

if it is a dynamic page, you will need a nested recordset to look up the options for the product and use the recordset to populate the options list.

use a show if to only show the select list if the recordset is not empty.

Conditional Caluculation?

In order to make my life more difficult, I don't have a field for price "incrementation." I have skus that contain full price with options. So, when I calculate the price in the cart I do this:

([Price] + ([Option1Inc] - [Price])) * [Quantity]

This correctly increments the options price into the cart but when the item does not have an option, it predictably zero's out the price and only adds the qty into the cart.

My question now is how to do a calculation for those items that don't have options?

([Price] + (abs([Option1Inc] > [Price])?[Option1Inc] - [Price]:0)) * [Quantity]

Perfect! I was just discovering the possibility of that solution so you saved me having to work too hard for it...

Of course I may still be back but thanks much!

([Price] + (abs([Option1] >+ 1)?[Option1Inc] - [Price]:0)) * [Quantity]

This variation is what ended up working...

The last problem is hiding the dropdown if no options exist... If I do the Hide if recordset option1 is empty, the page fails when I add an item with no options.

Notice: Undefined index: eCart2
$ATC_itemPrice = floatval("".$row_rsProduct['sku_price'] ."");// column binding

you used the cart is not empty around the options select list:


<?php
//WA eCart Show If Start
if (!$eCart2->IsEmpty()) {
?>
<select name="eCart2_1_Option1_Add">

<?php
do {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_rsOption['sku_price']?>"><?php echo $row_rsOption['option_name']?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_rsOption = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsOption));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($rsOption);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($rsOption, 0);
$row_rsOption = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsOption);
}
?>
</select>
<?php
//WA eCart Show If Middle
}
else {
?>



it should be the recordset is not empty instead.

also, create a hidden element of the same name as the select list, and use the Display if recordset is empty option.

That way, if the recordset is empty, it passes the hidden element, if not it passes the select list.

Once again, GREAT support.

I ended up setting the hidden field to a blank value and it didn't seem to mind:

<input name="eCart2_1_Option1_Add" type="hidden" id="hiddenField" value="">

Does it actually need a value?
