Hello, I'm just upgrading to VM 2.0 and have nearly figured out Custom Fields and Cart Variants. The thing I can't find, which existed in VM 1 is the "Please select product variant to add this product to your cart" message. I need to make sure that people enter required info before being allowed to add products to the cart - does this function still exist?
Thanks,
James
Looking for the same thing.. A bit concerning that noone answered this yet.
If this "feature" was present in v.1.xxx it should also be there in v.2.xxx, at least I would think so.
I cannot imagine any reason why they would exclude a basic feature like this..
Devs, please answer this one
I am looking for the same thing, too...
It would be a very important feature.
We are just working on this stuff.
Thank you for your reply Milbo.
Can you give us a date, when it should be ready?
Thanks to some very thorough investigation and searching on this forum I finally managed to hack my way to success.
I now have my products with a custom field child variant drop down, where the first choise is "please choose" and if the customer tries to add to the cart a modal popup warns the customer that he/she has to make a variant choise.. And the product is not added to the cart:)
I also made some other tweaks like showing the internal note text of the product variants as description in the drop-down menu, and changing the "Continue shopping" link to href="javascript:history.go(0)"

I`ve got the please choose pop-up working - but I can`t find where the instructions for changing the "Continue shopping" link to href="javascript:history.go(0)" are - could you please point the way?
lol - please ignore previous post - that was stoopid easy - just change the href="' . $continue_link . '" to href="javascript:history.go(0)"
Does anybody know if this works with attributes only?
I do not use child variants on my shop, but i require them to choose between the different attributes...
I am also looking for a solution for an attribute only (not child product variant) solution. I am willing to pay to have this done now rather than wait for it to be solved in a later version.
Can anyone help?
