in the product page i have option to select color of product with image custom
the default option is the first item
i want to remove the option and set this to required field

Hi,

Selecting the 1st option by default after the page gets loaded; is something we have implemented by SportMart.

In the ordinary Virtuemart, the image type custom field was not "required". We thought that, some people might add the product to cart without even selecting any option, which is why we implemented this "automatically selecting the 1st option"

I can help you here to remove that automatic selection. It is a 1-2 lines of javascript code in our template's file and when you remove those lines the automatic selection will be gone. But i can't help you here to implement the "required field" feature. Because it is little complex to implement and it is considered as a "custom modification". Unfortunately we don't provide free support or step-by-step instructions for custom coding-modifications.

You may purchase premium support:

and let us take care this modification for you directly on your website though.

Regards.

can you help me here to remove the automatic selection ?

Sure,

Open this PHP file:
ROOT//templates/flexible_sportmart/tpls/blocks/head.php

find this line:
and replace it to this:
and that's it. The automatic selection of the 1st option feature will be gone.

Regards.
