Create Radio Button for Product Options

I have a client that purchased this theme to sell gift baskets. She wants customers to be able to select multiple items that will go into the basket. Such as different types of candy bars. This would work best as a product list with multi-select radio buttons. How can I add this to the Market Product Details so she can easily add multiple options.

You'd have to modify the code in the "single.php" file so that it writes out the options in radio button format, rather than the existing dropdown box format.

When you said multiple items, did you mean more than one item at a time or one choice with multiple options to choose from?

Technically, radio buttons would only allow you to select one item at a time. The best thing to do is to add checkboxes, wherein it enables the customer to choose multiple items at a time. 

Here's an example:
<input type="checkbox" name="item" value="item1" /> Item 1
<input type="checkbox" name="item" value="item2" /> Item 2
<input type="checkbox" name="item" value="item3" /> Item 3

They should have input type of checkbox. All checkboxes should have the same name, but different values.

Yes, mkusumi is correct.

Radio buttons are exclusive (clicking one removes another), which checkboxes are inclusive (allows you to select multiple at once).

yes exactly …. if you wana allow the customer to select only one item at a time, then you have to use radio buttons.http://imagicon.info/cat/5-11/1.gif

Several options
Guest

I see that this would benifit everyone! Please add a mod that will allow multiple options and the option to name these options. Size and color just does not cut it. Examaple:

 

Defalult:

Color

Size 

Extended options

Custom name options

I mean not everyone sells clothes you know.

It's really not a store without these options. At lease if you don't want to put forth the effort to add this could you please give us a step by step tutorial showing us how we can update this ourselves?

Here's a post that explains how to do additional option boxes:

You can change any website text (ie. "color", "size", etc.) through the language file "English.php".
