Different product attributes for different product

[jef2003]

I have many, many products for my site. Most of the items are apparel or shoes. I am not currently using any manufacturer information, as the manufacturer isn't really relevant to what we do. Plus, we're a third party reseller of wholesale companies, and it's best for us to avoid putting the name of the original seller on the site.

 

I need to make it so that I can have different products have different attributes. Some shoes are available in sizes that other styles aren't (even from the same manufacturer). Clothing items are available in different colors, but it's not across the board. How can I set up product attributes per item instead of across the board?

 

PS. I'm pretty new to PHP, so take it easy on me when talking PHP talk :-)

Attributes are specified on a per item basis. There are no "across the board" attributes.

 

Hth,

You don't have to include the manufacturer info, and can remove that box from your site completely too. If you have a lot of products, you'll probably want to find an alternative way to input them, it gets very tedious using the admin interface. As Matt says, the attributes are associated with products one at a time as far as the program is concerned. Jeremy

Where in the admin interface do you add the attributes to a product? I have added a product, but do not see where I connect the attributes I created to a product.

 

Right now I am feeling pretty stupid.
