Product Attributes

[rothjoseph]

I am creating a tshirt shop and I want every single product on the site to have the same attributes. I have different colored shirts and different sizes, but every single shirt on my site will same the same choices.

 

What is the best way to go about accomplishing this? I don't want to have to go into the attributes section everytime to manually add those attributes, and I also don't want to have to waste so much database storage space storing the same attributes time and time again. And also, I plan on in the future adding different colors. I want to be able to make on addition to the colors and have it change every shirt again.

 

Thanks

Sounds for a job for the contribution Easy Populate.

I have decided that it would be easiest to make this without easy populate.

 

What I have done is created the default attributes and assigned them to product 1.

 

Then I have edited product_info.php to pull the attributes from product number 1.

 

I also had to edit shopping_cart.php to pull the description for the attributes from number 1.

 

I also had to edit catalog/includes/classes/order.php to pull the description for the attributes from number 1.

 

What I haven't figured out right now is where on the admin side it pulls that product id number to select the attributes. I looked inside of order.php inside the admin folder, but it is missing that part. Does anyone know where I would have to change it so that it shows up with the attributes on the invoice and everything else on the admin end.

Reference for other people. I found what I needed.

 

I had to change the location where it stores to the TABLE_ORDERS_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES in the product_process.php in the normal catalog.
