[checks]

How can I get my products to have these menu functions in simple terms?  Ive read most of the forums on this topic but is it confusing for beginners to joomla. Just a step by step tutorial for this exact layout.

what you mean?>

and how are you doing your "bulk" pricing option?

[checks]

I followed your instructions making both dropdowns , I set the price in the custom field but you see in picture where the price say plus tax or without tax is way higher than actual price

[PRO]

when you select an option, the price changes

you do not do equal=$100

you put the plus   $30

[checks]

ok I changed from equal to plus, now it says free. And im still confused a little on how to do the bulk order for each different color. Here is what i have so far...

and you do not PUT the + sign.

Just put the difference

and if you want to put a plus sign.
You can change the field in your default.php

change this
<?php echo $field->display ?>

To this
<?php $field->display = str_replace( '$', '+$', $field->display ); ?><?php echo $field->display ?>

It is in the

The product details template has been broken down into smaller pieces now

BanquetTables.pro, thanks for the graphical help on this one...not very intuitive, but with your walkthough, I got it done.

One question: For those who use a 'please select...' field option, can we enter some php somewhere to manage these fields and fire a validation to ensure it's not equal to 'please select' onsubmit?
