In prestashop 1.6 you have just 2 option for display the combinations to select. Radio button or drop down list. I have 2 attribute, width and lenght. The values from 50 to 300 steb by 1 cm. It's too huge to display in drop down list. I really need a souliton to change the drop down list to input text field.
The piece of code from product.tpl( this display on front end on product page):
<!-- attributes -->
<div id="attributes">
{foreach from=$groups key=id_attribute_group item=group}
{if $group.attributes|@count}
<fieldset class="attribute_fieldset form-group">
<label class="attribute_label" for="group_{$id_attribute_group|intval}"> {$group.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'} : </label>
{assign var="groupName" value="group_$id_attribute_group"}
<div class="attribute_list">
{if ($group.group_type == 'select')}
<select name="{$groupName}" id="group_{$id_attribute_group|intval}" class="attribute_select form-control" onchange="findCombination();getProductAttribute();">
{foreach from=$group.attributes key=id_attribute item=group_attribute}
<option value="{$id_attribute|intval}"{if (isset($smarty.get.$groupName) && $smarty.get.$groupName|intval == $id_attribute) || $group.default == $id_attribute} selected="selected"{/if} title="{$group_attribute|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{$group_attribute|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</option>
{/foreach}
</select>
May have to do some changes in js too.
