Select product option in Product List?

Hi,

How can I set it up so that a user can select a product option (characteristic) from the product list? I would like them to be able to select the color from a dropdown, the quantity as a drop-down (already implemented), and then click "add to cart" from a list of products without having to go to the product page.

Currently, with the one product I have a characteristic setup on, in a Product Listing, the "Add to cart" button disappears (otherwise it appears to the right of the quantity drop-down), and a "Choose options" button appears to the left of the quantity drop-down.

This is as it currently appears:

Hi there,

According to what I see on your website, it think you solved your problem.
Is it so?

I was hoping there was something in the configuration to change. Instead, I wrote code and added a view. I'd rather it be a config setting if there is one.

Also, my solution isn't working correctly yet. I still have to incorporate the JavaScript to update the cart correctly, adding the characteristic name and finding the correct cart item.

This feature isn't available for the moment, but we already added it in our todo list .

Glad to hear it's on the To Do list.

For now, if I modify the Javascript called by the Add To Cart button so that if there is an Option drop-down it gets the product ID from the drop-down, and I populate the drop-down values with the product IDs of the variant products, with that work properly?

IOW, if product ID 15 has variants 16, 17, 18 for Red, Green and Blue and I pass ID 16 when the Add To Cart button is clicked instead of 15, will that add the Red version of the product to the cart?

Thanks!

Never mind. My guess was correct. I've got it working now! Thanks for the info and help!
