Hi all.

I have serious doubt with the entire attributes system.

 

in my shop, each product has about 25 attributes. Some of them have up to 30 options (i am not creazy, i am selling prescription lenses!)

 

Now, because the system the way it is now make me save EACH option for EACH attributes for EACH product, my attributes table has about 260 options for each product. is already about to blow.

 

according to my understanding of the problem, i should build a template of attributues(and related options) then apply it to the selected articles.

so i shouldnt have a product_to_attributesOptions any more, but a product_to_template only.

 

when i display product_info.php i should load all the information related to the product + all the attributes in the linked template. thats it.

 

I am wrong? am i missing any important information in my logic?

 

please advice on this. Please let me know if any one has worked on this before.

thanks

well you definitely need some sort of attribute manager. You could check the attributes sets and perhaps the easy populate. But on the catalog end you should need to do anything other than normal page formating. I mean the code already parses all attributes associated with a product and builds the drop-down lists.

 

You could get one of these attribute modules and customize it further to accelerate the product to attributes relationships. Perhaps via a table or something so instead of setting up one product at a time to setup multiple products that share the same attribute sets.
