This module creates a new hidden attribute type for Zen Cart. It is intended as an alternative for the 'Read-Only' type, for situations such as downloadable products where you don't really need the customer to select the option, as it is already selected by default and there is no other choice for the customer to make.
Installation is very simple - you just upload a single file into an override folder, and run the included sql patch to create the 'hidden' option type.
When adding the option to the product via the Attributes Controller, you MUST ensure that you set the option to be selected by default.
You are currently seeing this module in operation - an attribute is set for all modules on this site that provides the downloadable file option. Without this module, this page would include a 'Please Choose' heading, and an option name of Download File with the 'Zip File' radio button selected. The customer can't change the selected option - so why display it and cause possible confusion and perhaps even an abandoned cart?
Compatible with PHP 5.3, Zen Cart versions 1.3.8 and 1.3.9
