    Default Product Attributes

    Product Attributes

    I find that the product attributes are more of an interactive kind of attribute. I was thinking of static attributes e.g. let's say I have a product "ABC", the product has a description "Description for ABC", the product has a list features "feature 1 , feature 2" etc, the product has multiple certification "Cert A, Cert B".

    I am not very happy about dumping all this imformation in the description field of the product and that's mainly because If tomorrow I decide that the Feature heading needs to bold or one font size bigger with the features appearing in bullet list format then I do not need to change the description of each and every product, I can just modify the code and achieve it.

    Is there a feature of Zen Cart I am missing ?

    Regards

    Default Re: Product Attributes

    I guess what I mean is if a product has a description and a few other details along with it which needs to be displayed on the product details page is the Product Description Text Box the only place where I can add such details ?

    E.g.

    Product Heading ABC

    Description - blah blah blah

    Features -
    • Feature 1
    • Feature 2
    • Feature 3



    how would I handle the feature list of the product ? Should I add them in the product description as formatted text ? it does not sound right.
