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...

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

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,
