Attribute Prompt Colon

[lesliekirk]

How do I get rid of the Attribute Prompt colon? I'm thinking it's compiled into something somewhere that I can't access. Any CSS tricks to hide it?

Re: Attribute Prompt Colon

where? Everyplace I can think of its in the template. (Except emails?)

Re: Attribute Prompt Colon

I suppose it would be everywhere that an Attribute Prompt is at. But the first place I had is mind is the PATR screen > Product Attribute Template.

Re: Attribute Prompt Colon

Do you not have a Product Attribute Template on your PATR page? It should be fully editable if the site isn't way behind on updates.

Yes, the site is up to date. The colon is still seems to be compiled in the code. This is the token from the Product Attribute Template:

&mvt:attribute:prompt;

Re: Attribute Prompt Colon

...and there is no colon hiding next to that prompt? also, check to see if its in the prompt itself...seen lots of store owners do this.

Re: Attribute Prompt Colon

I've looked everywhere - there is no colon added in the attribute itself. Here's the Attribute Template Code:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<mvt:foreach iterator="attribute" array="attributes">
    <input type="hidden" name="Product_Attributes[&mvt:attribute:index;]:code" value="&mvte:attribute:code;">
    <mvt:if expr ="l.settings:attribute:template_code NE 0">
    <input type="hidden" name="Product_Attributes[&mvt:attribute:index;]:template_code" value="&mvte:attribute:template_code;">
    </mvt:if>
    <mvt:if expr = "l.settings:attribute:type EQ 'checkbox'">
     <mvt:if expr = "l.settings:attribute:code EQ 'Discount'">
      <input type="hidden" name="Product_Attributes[&mvt:attribute:index;]:value" value="Yes">
     <mvt:else>

Am I overlooking something here?

Re: Attribute Prompt Colon

I don't see it, but i'm pretty sure that the internal code for evaluating the attribute prompt does not add a colon....URL?

Re: Attribute Prompt Colon

Did you look at the actual text in the prompt field for the products?

Yes.


So no one else has encountered this issue?

Re: Attribute Prompt Colon

Is this a wombat store using attribute inventory?

If so, it MIGHT be in the attribute machine. I noticed that our radio button attributes have a colon after the attribute Prompt

I am guessing the selector / checkbox attributes would have a colon after the prompt too, but I just don't have the time to look right now.

But see if you find anything in the attribute machine.

Re: Attribute Prompt Colon

This is still an issue on more than one store. There are no colon's in the Product Attribute Template layout. No Inventory Variants, no Inventory Kit Builder in use. For S&G I removed the

<mvt:item name="attributemachine" param="head" />

and the

<mvt:item name="attributemachine" param="body" />

To see if it "removed" the colons - I didn't think it would and it didn't.

So I'm thinking this is something that has been coded into the &mvt:attribute:prompt; token - so I guess I just have to site around and hope hundreds of other users hate this too?

Oh come on, nobody is bothered by this?

Re: Attribute Prompt Colon

Okay, I know why some of you think I'm insane. I've discovered that if I'm using the Sebenza Product Page templates - I have control over the colon that appears after the attribute prompt.

But if I use the default PROD page template with the default Product Display > Product Attribute Template there is no control over the colon - as in , it's not in the Product Attribute template.

Default template uses this token:

&mvt:attribute:prompt;

Sebenza template uses this:

&mvt:attr:prompt;:

So for an example of a page that has the colon after the prompt, go here. That layout is using the token:

&mvt:attribute:prompt;

and the sites that are wanting to have control over the colon also are using the token

&mvt:attribute:prompt;

in the default layout Product Display > Product Attribute Template
