Product options on product details page

[Anni]

hi everyone,

I've noticed that product options are displayed in a random manner on the details page, e.g. at one time the order for a color option is red-green-blue, another time it's blue-red-green. so always a different option is pre-selected when you view the product details.

is there a way to sort them or can't that be changed?

regards,

Hi,

In the current version they should be ordered by id. If you want to order them diffferently you could do this in the Action Class . They are contained in the selectedProductOptions list of the ProductMgr.

thanks for the answer

just one more question. the action class to modify would be the ShowProductDetailsAction, is that correct?

Yes, that's correct.

ok, thanks.

btw. you are correct that the options are sorted by their id but not the option values. I just printed the product options to the console  to get the ids and see the current sort order and got this:

Code: [Select]

* Run: 0 Opt id: 1 Opt name: subscrtiption Opt value: Start with next issue Opt value id: 2
* Run: 1 Opt id: 1 Opt name: subscrtiption Opt value: Start with current issue Opt value id: 1
* Run: 2 Opt id: 2 Opt name: Discount Opt value: Friend of IMMA Opt value id: 7
* Run: 3 Opt id: 2 Opt name: Discount Opt value: VAI member Opt value id: 5
* Run: 4 Opt id: 2 Opt name: Discount Opt value: Friend of RHA Opt value id: 8
* Run: 5 Opt id: 2 Opt name: Discount Opt value: Student Opt value id: 6
* Run: 6 Opt id: 2 Opt name: Discount Opt value: n/a Opt value id: 3

earlier, the option values for option 1 were just the other way round.
