nickelmedia Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Say I have a catalog with 2 categories each holding 200 products. If I were to add a new product attribute, for instance, a new color, is there a way to apply it to every product in a particular category at one time without editing each product manually? If not by category, is it possible to add the option to the entire catalog? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyjgarcia Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I made a Contribution that I haven't made submitted yet because I too hate the product attibutes interface. Currently I have osc forum members beta testing it before I submit it, but I haven't heard from them in a couple of weeks adn I am considering just submitting it. Let me know if you want to beta test it too. If I can just get a couple of people to give me feedback on the results of the installation and the installation instructions and it all checks out then I'll submit it. Here is how mine works. 1) I made an interface for creating an Attribute Set. Pick how many attributes this set will have, then you select which attributes you want in this set. Keep making as many sets as you need until you've made all the possible sets your site uses. For example, I sell shirts so I need set that for sizes such as Size: S-XL,Size: S-2XL, Size: S-3XL, etc... 2) When I add a product I have a new drop-down list where I select which attribute this product needs. For example I am select Size: 2-4XL. That would be it for me, my product would be displayed with a Size drop down list for sizes Small thru XXXXL. I enhanced it for others who may need more option drop down boxes. My enhancement is when you edit a product it will show that Attribute Set that you have originally added to this product plus one more Attribute Set in case you wanted to add another one, or if you wanted to remove all attributes from this product then you just set the drop down list to "-- none --". I agree that the Product Attributes utility is poorly designed, it just takes way too much time! Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelmedia Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 This sounds perfect! Have you tested it yourself with no problems? I'd definiely be willing to beta test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyjgarcia Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Yes, I have a test environment at home where I developed it and then I set it up on my live site where I caught a couple of things I forget to add to my installations instructions (an image and a define), but those were quickly fixed. I have been using it for about 3 weeks now without an error. If I were to get an error I would make it a priority to get it fixed. I can send you a PM if you want to download it and test it out? Do you have a development environment? As far as modfications go, if is relatively safe because I don't really change existing functions, I use my own that I've created and added to the functions PHP file. The database tables are new, so I don't modify the original osC's db structure either. Just let me know. Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥bruyndoncx Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Hi Joey Another interested party here - localization to dutch on offer :) Carine KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON I do not use the responsive bootstrap version since i coded my responsive version earlier, but i have bought every 28d of code package to support burts effort and keep this forum alive (albeit more like on life support). So if you are still here ? What are you waiting for ?! Find the most frequent unique errors to fix: grep "PHP" php_error_log.txt | sed "s/^.* PHP/PHP/g" |grep "line" |sort | uniq -c | sort -r > counterrors.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
