Product Custom fields (Customisation)

[payless4domains]

Can anyone help me to get this code working? It should be simple. But I am missing something, appreciate your help in advance.

 

I’ll like to be able to select e.g. “motor vehicle” from the drop down menu on the products page and have some text below the drop down menu show something.

 

Then if I select the next item in the drop down e.g.“Truck” the text below the drop down menu show something else.

 

Select “Trailer” something else..etc.

 

------------------------------------------------

Field Type – Drop down

Select Options – e.g. Motor Vehicle,Truck,Trailer or caravan,Motorcycle,Boat (Comma Separated List)

------------------------------------------------

 

I have tried a couple of difference {if} statements but without success, I know I’m close, it’s frustrating…

 

-------------------------------------------------

Source code:

<tr><td class="fieldlabel">Select Options</td><td class="fieldarea"><input type="text" name="customfieldoptions[33]" value="Motor Vehicle,Truck,Trailer or caravan,Motorcycle,Boat" size="60"> For Dropdowns Only - Comma Seperated List</td></tr>

 

---------------------

 

3 attempts: configureproduct.tpl code:

{if $customfieldoptions eq "Truck"}display this{/if}

{if $customfield.id eq 33}<option value="Truck"{if $customfieldoptions eq "Truck"} selected="selected"{/if}>display this</option>{/if}

{if $customfield.id eq 33}<option name="customfieldoptions" value="Truck">display this</option>{/if}

 

Thanks again

you need to use Javascript for this purpose

Thanks Sentq,

 

Are you able to supply with an example or working Javascript that will do the job? or maybe a link or directions on what steps I need to take to complete the job. Anything will help.

Thanks Kev
