Different attributes for attributes

[infocom]

Hi

A client has various options of Size, for example, 2, 4, 6, 8. Then different Lengths can be chosen, for example, 20mm, 24mm, 26mm.

But not all the Length options are available for the sizes. i.e. size 2 may have only length 20mm, whereas size 4 may have 24mm, 26mm. etc.

Can Zxencart support this different attributes for different attributes?

Thanks

As of today, not in the current version, no.

I already built the site when I found out they needed this

So I worked on a solution last night.

I installed the Grid View add on to display the tabular quantity boxes for each options, then I modified the db/code to "hide" the boxes that I do not have options for. I modified 2 things:-

1. Added a field in the products_attributes table called "exclude_products_attributes_id" which basically stores the ID fields of attributes I do not want to display for some other attributes. Also added a textbox for this in Attrubite Controller to add the IDs.

2. Modified the grid view add on to "hide" the quantity boxes that I have inidicated should be excluded from this attribute using the change I did in 1.

Attached a screenshot of what it looks like.

Thats it in a nutshell, and it seems to work. My coding, due to timescales, as usual, is not the best and probably quite crude, but I got it to work. I also modified the grid view to display the grid even when there is only 1 option, for display consistency.

Nice job.

I thought you were asking about something different.

There's a mod here that may do the same thing:
