HI

I have a product which is a package. A client when selecting the package must select 3 to 5 colours so we know what colours they want. The colours are part of the package and essentially have a zero value.

If I use Characteristics and list them I have a wonderful list of colours but when adding colours to the cart it adds multiples of the package to the cart. Is there a way to assign a nil value here?

If I have a product, the colour red and have it as an option in a package product. I cannot have the colour display and this is necessary to see so the characteristic is a better way to display.

i would appreciate a way to do this?

Hi,

I would recommend to not use characteristics for your color selector. It will solve both your problems and allow to have products with images selectors and it will work fine with the options.
You want to create 5 custom fields of the table "item" and of the type "radio" via the menu Display>Custom fields. Then, for their values, you want to have translation keys like that:
IMAGE1
IMAGE2
etc
Then, in your HikaShop configuration, add translation keys like that under the languages tab:

Hi Nicholas.

Nearly there. On the product I am now getting options which is great. But the colour is not showing. I get words

Colours image_red image_orange.

used checkbox rather than radio as many colours can be selected

Not sure where my error is?

Hi,

The problem is with your override. It's wrong.
Please do it like I explained:
Simple quotes for the attributes values and double quotes around the whole HTML.
