coolcl Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 I need help, Is there any ways, contribution (or I am missing something) to make an ID for every item in the catalog without creating a product page for every one of them. i.e. Aromatize Vinegar, aged Balsamic flavour should have a different number that Aromatized Vinegar, Rosemary red Wine flavour. They are both under the same product name but two different flavours. Is the ID number in products_attribute can be used (be printed on packing slip and invoice). I couldn't fine any ways to use that number yet (if there is any). So please, if someone can get me out of the dark ;) . Many thanks, Carol... Quote
stevel Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 Have you considered doing this with attributes instead? So you would have a product page for Aromatized Vinegar, and an attribiute that selects the flavour. To the customer, they would see a pull-down list from which they'd select the flavour. This would show up on the order. On the other hand, you don't really "create a product page" but rather an entry in the database. You can use the "Make a copy" feature in Admin to make duplicates of products which you then edit to specify the differences. I've done it both ways. For an example of attributes, see http://www.cheshiregarden.com/product_info...?products_id=67 For an example of duplicated products, see http://www.cheshiregarden.com/product_info...?products_id=56 and http://www.cheshiregarden.com/product_info...?products_id=57 Quote Steve Contributions: Country-State Selector Login Page a la Amazon Protection of Configuration Updated spiders.txt Embed Links with SID in Description
coolcl Posted May 12, 2004 Author Posted May 12, 2004 I did exactly the same, with the product attribute, but they don't have a specific number, it is hard to track for example how many of one particular flavor you have in stock. I was wandering if the ID number that the product attribute.php page generate could be use to track every specific item? Thank you Steevel, Quote
stevel Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 Oh, I see. Yeah, attributes aren't tied into stiock level. You will have to stick with separate product IDs for that. What is your objection to separate products?
