Title: Generic Child Variants as radio buttons instead of dropdown?
Post by: Apple7 on May 09, 2016, 16:30:10 PM
Hi there!

In VM 3.0.12 I use product Generic Child Variants and they are shown as a dropdown list.

How do I make it show up as a radio button set?

I think is not possible with child products, you will have to use string custom field or ask this guy maybe is possible with his plugin https://breakdesigns.net/extensions/customfields-for-all or maybe Patrick's module is capable http://shop.st42.fr/en/products/product-child-variants.htm

Not by default, but if you buy it, i can add the layout to have radio button quickly.
My plugin is to display anything from child eg. image, sku, short desc... and can display add to cart to if you don't set it in cart position. But can display all other fields  on adding this in the layout : width,height,stock manufacturer name ... I use this too for customer using a javascript and displaying a slide bar.

Thanks very much, lindapowers

This plugin (together with another free one "Stockable_Custom_Fields") works in Joomla 3.4 great
But since I use Joomla 2.5.28, it doesn't work that smoothly for me.

Studio 42, thanks for your offer!
If I can't make it work, I'll probably have to ask you for that.
