Attributes HOW-TO

**joe7175** · 16 Sep 2005, 04:38 PM

I have posted a solution to the individual quantities per attribute problem, which may be useful for those not wanting to wait for Zen to release the update with this feature available.

It is here: http://www.zen-cart.com/modules/ipb/index....showtopic=31412

I have a problem with the attributes

I made every attribute dropdown, and added to a product 4 attributes, but on the product info page, it still shows the redio buttons

(ALL radio buttons are checked)

Anyone a idea how to solve this problem?

I got it :) Pretty confusing with naming the values to a option name. But works perfect when you know how to do it :)

Note: dropdowns with auto convert to selected radio buttons when there is only 1 Option Value ... once there are 2+ Option Values then the dropdown will auto convert to a dropdown ...

I hope this one is on next release,
possibility to have more than one article numbers and
article number is not the same as model in this case.

One product, one model but different colors,
and every color with this product have there own
article number.

or

One product, one model but different size,
and every size with this product have there own
article number.

Thanks for all of the above info has been really helpful to me in setting up my attributes.

However I am still having a little problem.

I have managed to put my attributes on a product, but I have now entered a new product and want to put some of the attributes I have created, plus a few new ones, on this product. but it's not working for me the same way as putting them on the original product.

It won't bring me up the attributes and the product anywhere on the same page so that I can link them?

I hope I have explained this properly?

tks

You should have available to you the same things you did for the first Product via the Catalog ... Attributes Controller ...

I know thats what I thought ! but it's not giving me the options, I'll give it another go and see if I can give you the exact details of what I do and what happens

When you go to the Attributes Controller directly ... you need to select your Category ... then your Product before there is anything to see ...

If you are on the Product Listing ... you will see the A on the right side which will take you to the Attributes Controller and should have you set to start adding available Attributes to your Product ...

See if you are leaving out a step there ... :)

Ok I have read about 25 pages and have a firm grasp of atributes now and it works great for my purpose. But and there is always a but how would I be able to add more descriptions with each atribute value?

We sell contract options with our products so the attributes works great for this however the options needs some further explaning to provide the customer with what exactly they get with each contract. There are around 10-15 contract options to choose from. At the moment I just cant see how to provide a descriptions for each option value?

Thanks for your help and great software by the way. Its great to see founders with such passion.
