Conditional Attributes Are possible

[accurax]

Ive managed to get conditional attributes working, with a few caveats.

If anyones interested i'll write it up into a tutorial and post it for general consumption. Let me know if you want me to :)

Yes, please, I think you'll find one or two people who would really like this :)

Okidokie.... ill put together a small tutorial for getting it going.

As I said there are some caveats, this is mainly because ive only set things up to work for my specific requirements at the moment. If i get chance ill work something out to get around them, it shouldnt be too hard. but, if i dont get chance ill post the guid to acheive the same as I have, and then im sure others will take it to the next step.

Hopefully get something up in the next week, or when i stop my clients from ringing me with goddamn brief changes all the time grrrr

Creating conditional attributes has always been possible. The challenge has been finding a generic way of doing that which wasn't so complex as to be incomprehensible to anyone other than the author. I too will be interested to see the approach that you've used.

[travellers]

Well, yeah, but from what I read elsewhere on this board its probably not a good idea to sink loads of effort into creating something now anyway, given that v2.0 is just around the metaphorical corner.

[kuroi]

That's probably true, but since accurax has already done this, seeing the approach would be useful and may inspire ideas for carrying it forward that would be useful in both the current and future versions of Zen Cart.

Accurax, did you put together the tutorial on conditional attributes? I searched under Tutorial but didn't find it. I think it might help me if by "conditional attribute" you mean an attribute that can be chosen only if a particular (previous) attribute was chosen. Is that what you mean?
