  1. In the TypoScript for the template you enter a plugin.tt_products.useArticles = 1 If you use columns for the list view of the products then you also need plugin.tt_products.conf.tt_products.LIST.displayColumns = 1

    All this tells the shop that the date are read from the article table and that a select box is shown if variants are used.

  2. Choose the father product. This is the first information which is shown in the front end list and in the single views, e.g. in the description and about images. Create a new entry in the backend list module. Choose the product ..
You have to fill in the following fields.
  • Title
  • in Stock (must be at least 1 to be shown in the front end)
  • category (if needed)
  • Price (this should be the lowest price for the cheapes size - this corresponds to the cheapest article, which will be entered next.
  • Sieze (the same is valid for colour/description/grading if needed) Is is by all means necessary to have the possibility to select a product variant in the front end. where all size variants are entered in a list separeted by a semicolon, e.g.: S;M;X;XL . These articles we want to enter next.

#. Adaptions in the HTML Template

You need to insert new fields into the ###ITEM_LIST_TEMPLATE### and ###ITEM_SINGLE_DISPLAY### subpart areas.

  • The following HTML code must be inserted for the display of the selector box of the variants namely between the form tags. Moreover each information between ###display_variant1### or ###display_variant2### comments is not shown if this variant is not used. This is very useful if the word 'From' is inserted before the ###PRICE_TAX### value inside of the ###display_variant2### comments. So e.g. 'From $200' if the cheapest size shall cost €200 (therefore the lowest price is entered in the father product. - by default the price of the father product is shown in the list and single view. The price of the variant is only visible in the basket if a determined size (or colour etc.) has been selected. If no variants are seletable then the word 'from' is not shown.

    Example:

    HTML template example for product variants 
    <!-- ###display_variant1### -->
Color:><select name="###FIELD_COLOR_NAME###" rows="1">###PRODUCT_COLOR###</select>
<!-- ###display_variant1### --><!-- ###display_variant2### -->
Size:>< select name="###FIELD_SIZE_NAME###" rows="1">###PRODUCT_SIZE###</select>
<!-- ###display_variant2### -->
