Best Attribute Mod?

Hello,

I was looking for a bit of advice.

I am wanting to have 1 specific product have the ability of choosing 2 attributes associated with that product (size and colour).

I have other products that use 1 attribute, however I only have the 1 product that requires 2.

I see there are a few attribute mods, and was just wondering if someone could comment as to which one would be the best for my situation (or even just which one they prefer).

I see there is;

Product Attribute Grid
Improved Attributes Controller

Anyone who could comment on these would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Anthony

Re: Best Attribute Mod?

Improved Attributes Controller is an admin mod to make it quicker to set up attributes for products. It might be worthwhile to have if you do a lot of attribute work.

You don't need any mods to use multiple attributes, unless you need to keep track of inventory for attributes or attribute combinations. Then you can look at Stock by Attributes or Product Attribute Grid to see which fits your needs better.

Re: Best Attribute Mod?

Hello gjh42,

Thanks for the reply - I didn't realise you could do that with the standard install.

Can I ask another question?

How do I get the 2 attributes for the 1 product to display close to each other, unlike what is now currently showing:

here

Either as 1 above the other, or both of the same line.

Thanks for any help,

Kind regards,
Anthony

Hello gjh42,

All sorted now.

I added:

#productAttributes .clearBoth {clear:left;}
to the css.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,
Anthony

Re: Best Attribute Mod?

In the Attributes Controller ... you will see that there is a Copy button to Copy all Attributes from 1 Product to 1 Product ... as well as from 1 Product to a Category of Products ...
