Hello,

Is it possible to have something like configurable product? What I want to do is

Sell a product "Shoe" and let the customer define his size / color / ...

Am I looking over this function?

Hi,

It seems to be variants. I'm waiting for a drop down list to present each variant dimension instead of the variants listing.

Normally it should have been in the stable release but it doesn't work.

We did give the the drop down list a try and we also make a test on other solution. But we found that it is very easy for users to miss variant option value. And then we have the difficult to display the variants in the store front.

For example, a user choose a variant combination Size:S and Color:Black for a T-Shirt; and Size:S for the second without the variant Color. Then we have the difficulty in the store front to display the variants, since they have different variant group.

At that moments we are really under pressure to make the stable release, therefore we give it up and we will see if there is a better solution.

In Prestashop, we can set a default variant which will be showed on the frontend by default (at the first product showing). Then, each dimension drop list is filled with the dimension variant value (no null or empty value) and the customer is then forced to select a complete variant (no missing dimension).

The only problem for this, I think, is the case of one or more variants resulting of the variant values combinations don't exist. For example, I sell a clothe in 3 colors (black, white, blue) and 3 sizes (S, M, L) but the blue one exists only in L. So, selecting blue/S and blue/M must return a message telling that it doesn't exist (for example).

I use a lot this variant representation on my website (www.delphine-lingerie.fr).

Hi.

Are the variants dropdown menus still considered?

Because they would we very useful for configurable products.

For instance, I sell computer that can be configured on the website. But if I want to give them, let's say 3 categories of option (CPU, RAM, HDD) with within those categories 3 different options, I have a list of 9 "products" on my main product page. It's not very user friendly.

An excellent feature would be to have options with a price (for exemple I want 4Gb of RAM, its +100€ on my product price) and in dropdown menus. Like it is on OScommerce 2.2.

Is this possible?

Hi,

We are working on that now. We have change the variant admin panel to make it more user friendly. In addiont, we also enable user to upload file for each vairant. Below is the screenshot:
