This is an advanced feature that appears the same as the previous dropdown list, but is generated differently.
Featuretype=SelectList
FeatureCaption should be the value to be placed above the text box (eg. Color)
Sometimes handling features using the prodfeatures table becomes too complex - this happens when a range of products has almost the same set of features, but not exactly.
For example, if you are selling shirts but the colours are unique to each shirt.
To handle this issue,make use of SelectList. SelectList is a field in the products table where you simply enter the colors (or whatever feature) into that field.
For example - grey,red,blue
If any of your features need to have a price associated with them, enter the values as shown below.
For example - grey [2.00],red,blue [3.00]
VPCART will then generate a dropdown list with grey,red and blue.
To use SelectList as a feature, you must create one feature in the ProdFeatures table and assign this feature to the product(s). The FeatureCaption field of this record will be used as the header for the dropdown list.
If you need additional fields in the products table to be used to generate SelectLsts, use the featureother field in the prodfeatures table. For example, create an additional SelectList using the pother3 field in the products table, and set the following in the prodfeatures table:
Featuretype= SelectList
Featurecaption= “Caption for this feature”
Featureother= “pother3”
VPCART will now look in the pother3field and generate dropdown lists for anything in that field. It will have the same format as described above. There are no limits to the number of select fields you can have. However, SelectList cannot have multi-selection. They generate a dropdown list only and not radio buttons.
