This mod allows control over the display of individual attributes. Each attribute can be styled globally to affect it in all products which use it, or with a per-product stylesheet to affect its display in only one product.
Modified files included:
After unzipping the files on your computer, follow the folder tree to /includes/modules/your_template/, and to /includes/templates/your_template/. Rename the /your_template/ folders in each case to the folder name of the custom template you are using.
After making any necessary file edits, ftp the /includes/ folder to the root of your store on the server. The files will automatically be placed in the correct locations.
If you have any existing modifications to the files listed above, you will have to merge them with the version here.
If you want to increase the length of Option Name comments allowed from the standard 64 characters, you will need to modify a database setting.
In your admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches, you may copy and paste this code and send (only do this if you need to):
For up to 255 characters:
ALTER TABLE products_options MODIFY products_options_comment VARCHAR(255) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NULL DEFAULT NULL;
ALTER TABLE products_options MODIFY products_options_comment TEXT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NULL DEFAULT NULL;
The attributes will be given unique ids which can be addressed in your stylesheet, like #wAttrib-11. The number is the Option Name id.
stylesheet_flexible_attributes.css includes examples of some of the kinds of styling you may want to apply to various attributes. Copy and modify as desired. Adjust the #wAttrib- numbers to apply to your specific attributes.
