Default settings for Attribute buttons

[virtualandy]

Hi all

Is there a simple way to have attribute buttons default to "Drop Dow List" instead of "Radio Buttons"?
I rarely use RBs and am getting sick of having to manually change each one!

Hi there,

There is not a default way of setting the attribute properties to be a set value, however, I am currently checking if this can be done manually by altering a value within the database.

Hi there,

Please open up the ActinicCatalog.mdb file to alter the settings for the attributes. This can be found in Actinic Ecommerce V6 | Sites | Site1 (via windows explorer).

In the database there is a table called 'ProductProperties' this table has all the values from attribute, components, choices etc.

Within this table you will find a column with the heading 'nType', below is the indication of the type of the property:


1 - searchable item
2 - additional prompt (not implemented)
3 - HTML Variable
4 - Price schedule
5 - Component
6 - Attribute
7 - Choice
8 - Permutation
9 - Section Classification

The column 'nValue2' table value corresponds to the widget type as below;

0 Undefined
1 Drop Down List
2 Radio Button
3 Check Box
4 Button

Note: The nValue2' only applies to 'Property type 6'.

I have added this to our wish list, to be contemplated for future release.

Hope this helps
