Hi all,
Instead of having ---please select-- as the default option, is there a way i can set the default selected option in open cart?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Sorry my site is down at the moment and i am unable to link it, but basically. When purchasing a product, i added options , for example
Processor 0
Processor 1 +250
Processor 2 +300
When the customer selects the product, the drop-down box shows the following
---please select----
Processor 0
Processor 1 + 250
Processor 2 + 300
Where --please select-- is the default selection. I would like to set a default selection for the product if the customer makes no action.
This can be clearly seen on open cart's demo site.
http://demo.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... duct_id=42
The page loads with no default selections on any of the options. Can i set a default?
Thank you for the help!.

Edit the file catalog/view/theme/yourtheme/template/product/product.tpl
and look into this piece of code

The line that you see highlited (<option value=""><?php echo $text_select; ?></option>) delete that and then the default option will be the first one entered in admin.<?php if ($option['type'] == 'select') { ?>
<div id="option-<?php echo $option['product_option_id']; ?>" class="option">
<?php if ($option['required']) { ?>

I want to change the select list from "Please Select" but instead of the first option I want the second option selected by default on a great many of my products. Is this possible?
I have all my options sorted by price and I would prefer to keep them that way however my cheapest option is a small sample of my product that isn't really a good example of the starting price of my products
Example list
Sample $2
Regular $10
Large $15
X Large $20
Most customers buy regular and there is no real value in defaulting to the Sample price
Of course to make it even more difficult there may be times when I don't want to do this and would prefer to default to the first option as some of my products don't have sample options
If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it

Hi, please how to solve this problem? Deleting line 86 in product.tpl: does not work in 1.5.6.1 
Code: Select all
<option value=""><?php echo $text_select; ?></option>How does it not work? Is there some error, something breaks? because since the please select option is not there anymore it cant still apear.
Thanks for the reply, it turns out the options settings extension I'm using was putting it back in via vqmod. Now sorted.
Hey guys,
I know this is an old thread, but how would I modify the coding to work on OpenCart 2.0.3? I have been trying to implement this into the product.tpl document of my OpenCart 2.0.3 installation and I just don't have the know-how to achieve this successfully. I only want this to apply to the radio options.
Assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
Even though its an old thread i tried it in ver 2.3.0.2 and nothing happens.
I removed ( <option value=""><?php echo $text_select; ?></option> ) and the "Please select" option remains.
Any ideas on how to do it??
Thank you.
