WooCommerce – Converting Dropdowns to Radio on Single Product

I’m having trouble converting the variation dropdowns into radio buttons a woocommerce enabled site. I’ve tried the answer found here but I can’t seem to make this solution work. I’ve also tried editing the code in the variable.php file.

So far the most success is the second approach, editing the variable.php code and changing the tags to tags. The problem is the natural jQuery event isn’t triggered when the radio buttons are clicked.

If any of you know a simpler way to convert the dropdowns to radios, or simply make the jQuery event fire, it’d be much appreciated.

Relevant code I could get my hands on:

if ( empty( $_POST ) )

            $selected_value = ( isset( $selected_attributes[ sanitize_title( $name ) ] ) ) ? $selected_attributes[ sanitize_title( $name ) ] : '';

        else

            $selected_value = isset( $_POST[ 'attribute_' . sanitize_title( $name ) ] ) ? $_POST[ 'attribute_' . sanitize_title( $name ) ] : '';

        // Get terms if this is a taxonomy - ordered

        if ( taxonomy_exists( sanitize_title( $name ) ) ) {

            $terms = get_terms( sanitize_title($name), array('menu_order' => 'ASC') );

            foreach ( $terms as $term ) {

                if ( ! in_array( $term->slug, $options ) ) continue;

                echo '<option value="' . $term->slug . '" ' . selected( $selected_value, $term->slug ) . '>' . apply_filters( 'woocommerce_variation_option_name', $term->name ) . '</option>';

            }

        } else {

            foreach ( $options as $option )

                echo '<option value="' . $option . '" ' . selected( $selected_value, $option ) . '>' . apply_filters( 'woocommerce_variation_option_name', $option ) . '</option>';

        }

    }

?>

Relevant Javascript. I change the ‘select’ elements ot ‘input:radio’ but it still doesn’t work.

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

If you need a link to the site then let me know but I have a maintenance page up until I can get this worked out.
