You can specify a Text or Textarea option as required in 2.0.7. Unfortunately, it is not possible to require user selection for Selectbox, Radiogroup or checkbox option types. I was hoping that a Selectbox, for instance, would display “Select color” and then require the customer to make a selection. It is still too easy for the customer to place the order without actually choosing their options.

I want a custom product tab under creating products.

That’s not hard to do but the problem is if the user disable JS and they can still checkout without choosing any option.
I saw one website with all your desired functions, however, it’s only a client side validation, far from enough to use.

Jobosales I agree with you 150%!
I also was hoping that this upgrade would make it “Required” for customers to choose an option from a Selectbox!
They did make some improvement in this direction as you can no longer add a product which has options directly to the cart from the category view, instead of an Add to Cart button it is replaced by “Select Options” which takes them to the product detail page, which is good! Hopefully the CS-Cart developers will take this to the next level.
Stuck:

How is this set up. In the demo, the products with options, show the options in the category page. How do you not show the options, but show “Select Options” instead.
Thanks,
Bob

Hello Bob,
I have our category pages setup to display the products as a “Grid” style, try this and see if the Buy Now buttons are then gone…(only on the products which do have options included)

Thanks for your information but this will have a big chance to lose customers. It’s just quite risky for our business.

The sollution is very simple.
Add somewhere on your page:
Redirecting the customers to an other page is not a good idea.
Something similar is used on our webshop, disable javascript and see the results
