How to remove initial empty value for a dropdown attribute in Magento? - magento

I'm using Magento version 1.5.1.0. I added an attribute with the following options selected in the Properties tab:
Catalog input type for store owner: dropdown
Unique value: no
Values required: no
I then went to the Manage Label/Options tab and added 3 different options, selecting the first option as a default. I added it to an attribute set, and when I go to enter a product, I see the dropdown, but with an empty option value prepended to it:
<select>
<option selected="selected"></option>
<option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
<option>Option 3</option>
</select>
When I save the product, the empty option still remains selected. How do I remove that empty option and make Option 1 the default for all of my existing products without resorting to using JS or editing any files whatsoever?

I think this can help.
When you call getAllOptions you need to pass false.
->getAllOptions(false)
Magento attribute dropdown with first empty value

<select name="history[status]" class="select" id="history_status">
<option value="pending" selected="selected">Pending</option>
<option value="canceled">Canceled</option>
<option value="processing">Processing</option>
</select>
Try using the SELECT tag rather than option for this block. Here above I have an example taken from a Magento store. Your:
<option selected="selected></option>
Is exactly that. An option, rather than defining a select box.

Find an option tag with 'selected' attribute with robot framework

The application under text includes these option tags:
<option value="0" selected>Page 1</option>
<option value="1">Page 2</option>
<option value="2">Page 3</option>
etc.
Using Robot Framework, I would like to create a locator to find the option tag that contains or ends with "selected"
So far I've not been able to get one to work.
XPath for the selected option above is:
//*[#id="sfpagingation-dropdown"]/option[1]
CSS for same selcted option is:
#sfpagingation-dropdown > option:nth-child(1)
Maybe it's not possible?
Thanks for any assistance.
Figured it out, or at least, I have something that seems to be working:
${SELECTED}= xpath=//option[#selected=""]
"Wait until page contains element" is also necessary

how to implement multi checkbox dropdown without any third party libraries

How to implement multi checkbox drop down without any third party libraries.
We want a dropdown having checkboxes not in jquery and javascript. we want pure server side control
.
Pure server side control means you will only rely on the HTML standards.
The HTML Select element has a multiple attribute which lets the user choose multiple values.
The HTML specification doesn't require a specific rendering layout which lets the browser free from any constraints. Most of the time, selected options are simply hightlighted, plus the multiple attribute makes the select element to loose its dropdown looking style (you can reduce its height using the size attribute).
<!-- The second value will be selected initially -->
<p>Maintain <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> key down to select multiple elements</p>
<select name="multi" multiple size="2">
<option value="value1">Value 1</option>
<option value="value2" selected>Value 2</option>
<option value="value3">Value 3</option>
<option value="value4">Value 4</option>
<option value="value5">Value 5</option>
<option value="value6">Value 6</option>
<option value="value7">Value 7</option>
<option value="value8">Value 8</option>
<option value="value9">Value 9</option>
<option value="value10">Value 10</option>
</select>
If you change your mind about using Javascript, you could implement what this well detailed answer suggests as it requires just very few additional Javascript and css and but no library.

How can i write condition for executing shell command in lua when an option selected from dropdown

I am new to openWrt. I have a selectbox with two options. How can I write condition in Lua to execute some commands when selecting these options.
<select id="AP_mode" name="AP_mode" class="AP_mode">
<option value="" disabled selected>Ap Mode</option>
<option value="0">Access Point1</option>
<option value="1">Access Point2</option>
</select>
You can use depends() function.
Suppose you want to display some text box or value if the option is 0. then you can give.
p:depends("AP_node","0")
p:value(variable,translate(value))

How to add a new dropdown-value to a Magento SEO-list?

I am using Magento 1.7.0.2 and I want to set a different value for the meta-robots-tag for several products. Therefore I go to Catalog > Article > Meta Information > And select a value from the dropdown "Robots Meta Tag"
Now comes the problem. I just have 4 selectable values in this dropdown, like this:
<select id="seo_meta_robots" name="product[seo_meta_robots]" class=" select">
<option value="0">Don't change</option>
<option value="1">NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW</option>
<option value="2">NOINDEX, FOLLOW</option>
<option value="3" selected="selected">INDEX, NOFOLLOW</option>
</select>
And I'd need a 5th one, labeled "index,follow" - how/where would I need to add that?
Thanks
The easier way would be to copy this file app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Model/System/Config/Source/Design/Robots.php into app/code/local/Mage/Adminhtml/Model/System/Config/Source/Design/Robots.php and add the option there:
public function toOptionArray()
{
return array(
array('value'=>'INDEX,FOLLOW', 'label'=>'INDEX, FOLLOW'),
array('value'=>'NOINDEX,FOLLOW', 'label'=>'NOINDEX, FOLLOW'),
array('value'=>'INDEX,NOFOLLOW', 'label'=>'INDEX, NOFOLLOW'),
array('value'=>'NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW', 'label'=>'NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW'),
array('value'=>'INDEX,FOLLOW', 'label'=>'INDEX, FOLLOW'),
);
}
However, the best practise would be creating a Magento Extension and overriding this model to add the option. Since it's a one line code change it probably doesn't worth the effort though, but bear in mind that you might need to maintain changes on this file if you ever upgrade Magento (it's unlikely that this file will be changed).
I hope it helps!

Check product has more than one option in dropdown Magento

HI i need something unusual , i want like
if my product has more than one option value
than it should show in dropdown
otherwise if it has only one option value
than i need to show without dropdown or as a text only.
Please suggest me how can i do this.
like like if
<select name="select_box" id="select_box">
<option value="one">1</option>
<option value="tow">2</option>
<option value="three">3</option>
<option value="three">4</option>
<option value="three">5</option>
<option value="three">6</option>
</select>
the dropdown has more than one opton than i need to show the above dropdown and if the
<select name="select_box" id="select_box">
<option value="one">optionname only</option>
</select>
dropdown has one option than i need to show optionname only as a text.This will not be a require field.
3-4 files are included in this process.
You can see that by enabling "Template path hints" from admin->settings->advanced->developer.
anyway check these files
if its a dropdown the you can change in this file (Remember do changes in your theme not in base)
frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/view/options/type/select.phtml
Another files in this process(check xml)
frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/view/options/wrapper.phtml
frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/view/options/js.phtml
frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/view/options.phtml
Another way:
Goto
App/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/View/Options/Type/Select.php
here find getValuesHtml() and check the code and edit as per your need
(DO NOT EDIT CORE FILES ALWAYS OVERRIDE FOR EDITING PURPOSE)
