Product Attribute "groups"

[EdEllks]

I'm looking to list albums of wedding pictures using osCommerce. Each size would be a different price, and different weddings could potentially yield different enlargement prices.

 

The only way that I can find to list multiple prices for a given item is by using the Product Attributes. However, it seems that it only works for a single item. Is there a way to create a "group" for a particular type of Product Attribute and apply it to a number of catalog items?

I'm looking to make pricing part of this Product Attribute group, so I don't have to go and enter pricing for upwards of 400 pictures.

Checking my list of things to do ... yeps ... it's on there. :D

 

However there are a few things ahead of it so I do not know when it will be done.

 

If you can provide more details of your specific needs I will try to incorporate what I can into it.

I apologize for taking so long to respond. :oops: Here are a couple of quick screens that I threw together to help solidify the request.

You might peek at the Attributes Sorter and Copier I am working on and see if this would make life easier for you when adding attributes.

I will check this out. Will it allow updating a particular price across all products? For example, I have 8 available print sizes and want to change the price for one of the sizes "across the board."

 

I see that you are also in Ohio. Out of curiosity, what part?

I am just outside of Cleveland.

 

At the moment this is an all or nothing ... unless you are creative ... 8)

 

You could make a product with just the one attribute to be updated and tell it not to delete all attributes and to then to overwrite duplicate attributes to change the attribute price in a whole category.

 

This will go either by product to product or product to category.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm also near Cleveland. In Niles, specifically.

 

I guess I just wanted this to be added to a "wish list", as I would imagine it would be very helpful to anyone selling different prices for different versions of the same basic product. Whether it be photography, a shirt or whatever.

 

Thanks again for the insight!

Well ... I just set a product to include Color Red for $19 and had it overwrite a whole category of products and all the Color Red are now $19 regardless of what they were prior to the Copy and Overwrite.

 

This seems to really speed things up as far as updating a price goes.
