Just like to add, that, attribute wizard is the most bug ridden useless crappy software ive ever come accross. its full of bugs and the team that makes it refuses to give any support, if you are considering Attribute Wizard, DO NOT bother. I will probably have to refund my client because of this huge mess....

Hi Pascal, thank-you, I did something very similar, that URL your looking at is LiveCart, and old site ive migrated, heres the end result, http://cabinetmart.ibanez0r.org/cmt-router-bits/255-flush-trim-router-bits.html, i guess the attribute wizard can never really replace the original due to the way it interacts with it, but this seems to work. thanks for your help i really appreciate it.

Well, i thought you'd like to know pascal, i asked these guys what the usual method of dealing with 2 product price/qty/cart blocks and they told me the best way is to use css, and didnt elaborate, as mentioned i set display:none on the entire div and it stole the price from attrib wiz too, so this morning i had a new idea, and that was to move the default block to a new position off the screen! it appears to work, do you think this is a suitable way to deal with it pascal? or you would do something different? check this out in Australia, we call this sorta thing "Bush Mechanics" like you will see in movies such as The Gods Must be Crazy hey it seems good!!! It seems like maybe after a restyle the module it will be godo to go, i give these guys at PrestoChance +10 for the idea, and +2 for making it happen it is however a solution so thank-you again!

I know im a bit harsh im sorry, you know for 75$ i expect it to look nice lol, *sigh* have a great trip. cheers o/

Hi there Pascal, after quite a few, 20 odd emails back and forth with the developer i was able to display the problems i was having, and they discovered a few bugs which they addressed, the b4 tax as mention, hey which i think is fine, if u coult turn it on and off etc, be great but i dont think it was designed to do that so they resolved that and also some JS errors apparently where combinations where concerned bringing the module to life! I have only the remaining issue now, i mean... be default it sset to displat the (additioned) add to cart button and attribs (out of view) near the page footer, the other option is to display it under the facebook likes etc or to the right, either way theres now the small issue of having 2 add to cart blocks, their one looks like a 12 yr old designed it after school one day, and the now redundant prestashop add to cart block with the wishlist and payment logos is apparently not easily removed, im told the best way to do it is with css, luckily im a complete css [spam-filter], so .. the instinct was to just set a display:none tag on the entire div, which worked great, but it also took the price away from the attribuute wiz add to cart block, so ive asked them to explain what is the 'usual' way its done, hopefuly its not too hard, ill let you know how it goes. Thanks again for your help i really appreciate it, Cheers, Cam

we are faaaar from solved.

Pascal, i take it back, it does not.

Mine will not initialize.. [Tue Oct 21 13:49:12 2014] [error] PHP Warning: xcache_set(): XCache var cache was not initialized properly. I checked and double checked my xcache setup, its all good, and tested to be working. XCache XCache Support enabled Version 2.0.0 Modules Built cacher optimizer coverager assembler encoder decoder Readonly Protection N/A Cache Init Time 2014-10-21 06:56:25 Cache Instance Id 24112 Opcode Cache enabled, 134,217,728 bytes, 1 split(s), with 8192 slots each Variable Cache disabled Shared Memory Schemes mmap Coverage Auto Dumper disabled Unfortunatly, this created a 5gb apache log that would of max out the logs partition had it not been for quotas. I just cant get it to work!

yeh, but... the prices are wrong, and the select box is about 5mm wide with prices turned off.... so essentially i spent my last few cents on this... doesnt work... at all. You know pascal, this thing im chasing, is standard feature in EVERY other ecommerce solution available, what is goin on????

Only downside is, it removes the attributes from the Add to Cart block and displays all my prices wrong and when i tell it not to display the price inside the attribute select, the select box becomes so small you cant read the attribute... man, this is a real mess,... :/ i may as well just take 75$ and burnt it lol :/ fml http://i.imgur.com/bib9W1R.jpg http://i.imgur.com/JkDMDUd.jpg http://i.imgur.com/IGrq5X5.jpg maybe not such a great module to recommend pascal, ive emailed the author, hopefully we can fix it, as it stands i paid 75$ US for a module i just disabled cuz it doesnt work.

I've been really busy Pascal, sorry for the delay! I contacted Presto-Change directly, they assure me Attribute wizard does exactly what i need, so thank-you so much once again my friend, i really appreciate your help!

Ohh pascal, thank-you, i was how to say.... shocked when i discover it wasnt built in, my resting heart rate at that moment im sure is about 180bpm, so thankyou so much for your time to mention this it just might save my christmas. Kind Regards, Cam

Im really good with jQuery and SQL, i noticed the Referance is being updated with onselect maybe i can do the same to the sttribute select? can someone plese point me in the right direction i have no choice i have to modify this to work now or, .. my web design business is over, thats how tough it is here atm.

Hi there, i recently took on a contract to update a clients online store to something that was up to date with the times, and generally, easier to use and better to look at, i chose prestashop (without having used it before) it appears to be the best, and the prettiest! so i explained to my client the process involved and he agree'd and paid me a deposit. 600hours into migrating his catalog to prestashop ive hit a section "drill bits" , some of which (router bits) have 3 attributes, diameter, cut depth and shank size, however, as the drill bits get larger in size the attributes for diameter and cut depth slowly raise, so.. the smaller ones only fill 3 of the lets say, 10 combinations, per drill bit size. Which results in 3 attribute selection boxes on the product page, thats 27 combinations for 1 item, however only 9 of those combinations have a product associated with them, and 18 of the possible selecytions show Combination doesnt exist. Its nearly impossible to find combinations using this interface. So i went into the admin and select not to display unavailable attributes but it made no difference at all, i remade the combinations, still no change. As it stands this is not going to work, ive just spent 600 hours migrating thousands of products and now im srsly stuck and dont know what to do, how is this usually done in prestashop?

Thanks m8, ill give it a try and let you know how i go! Ive been so busy migrating products i havnt had a chance to go back and man handle this code, as i sat here, adding products it occured to me i could chop the image up so to speak using css in a similar way that sprites are handled for instance, it would be a bit of a guess as to where to start collecting the image from position wise but it could work i think, in theory too. for instance: #new-cat-image { width: 75px; height: 100px; background:url({$link->getCatImageLink($category->link_rewrite, $category->id_image, 'category_default')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}) XPOS YPOS; } I think its the only way to accomodate for terrible programming ideas like that, i mean lets face it, no matter what theme you use, this will always now present an issue. I srsly hope they change it soon. I cant remake 35,000 category images, not now not ever!
