WANTED! Guinea Pigs for Attribute Testing.
I am looking for several zencart veterans that are avid Attribute users for some pre-release testing. You should be confident on how to install mods, have a backup of your site for testing purposes and also be using the MySQL Backup mod so you can easily backup/restore your store's databases. Multiple language users a plus.
Please DO NOT use on a LIVE site.
This is what I've accomplished to date:
Basic Attribute export: Single Line for each products_model. Will create
options_name and options_values_name dynamically and assign that set to
given products_model. Multi-language enabled!
This export is now 'round robin' ... meaning that the export file layout now matches the import file layout.
Once carefully tested, I will add select additional columns based on feedback from KNOWLEDGEABLE attribute users (of which BTW, I'm NOT one. LOL!).
Detailed Attribute export: This is the "whole shabang" ... giving you all
the info in the PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES table. This sheet has an entry for
each products_model + options_name + options_values_name. With this table
you can set all the specifics for each option. This sheet is ONE-TO-ONE and only used
to UPDATE existing PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES table entries, i.e. no deleting/adding options_names or options_values_names.
Current state is working. However, I don't have a great deal of error
trapping. I also don't have a functionality that will "replace" an
existing attribute set. This would need to be done within the admin, but
you can add to existing options/values.
This testing is not for noobies, so please be confident in your skills.
Leave me a PM if you qualify and want to do some pre-release testing.
Thanks,
chadd
