Product Attributes

[Fatlad]

Hi,

 

Don't know if this is possible...I can't find any posts regarding what I want to do, but I'm not sure I'm searching the right thing. Here goes...

 

I set up a store using all the default settings, and it works great, but my ultimate goal is to set up a store selling music; LPs, CDs, Singles etc.

Now in the example database, the closest thing would be the DVDs I guess, where all the information regarding each DVD is stored in the Description field as one long text string including HTML tags.

 

What I would like to do is split each item of information (or attribute of the DVD) into it's own field, so, to take the DVD example, it has attributes such as Region Code, Languages, Subtitles, Audio and so on, which I would like to each have their own field. Is this possible? If it is, how would I go about it or where could I look for a tutorial on doing this?

 

I've just started looking at osCommerce this weekend, so sorry if this has been asked before.

 

TIA

 

Russ.

There are a couple contributions that will do this.

Thanks Jeff....do you happen to know what they're called?

The contributions referred to above, are they about adding fixed fields to the products (or products_description) table, or is it about a more flexible way of adding attributes similar to options ?

I'm personally interested in the flexible approach as all my products don't have the same set of attributes.

I was looking to extend the option types functionality, to tweak this and add a readonly flag or so, to simulate a readonly attribute.
