adding attributes to all products or a category

I want to add the attributes small large and extra large to a whole category of products and feel its to much to go through one product at a time, Am i just missing something and there is an easy way to do this? Also when i add more products i will then have to go through this again adding the attributes one by one to one product at a time?

thanks for any advice

Attributes Controller ... Copy to Category ...

Same as Copy to Product except it copies to all Products in a Category ... :smile:

Re: adding attributes to all products or a category

In the Attributes Controller, when looking at a Product with Attributes there are two copy buttons, one to copy to a Product and one to copy to a Category of products ...

Re: adding attributes to all products or a category

BIG Thanks Linda for posting that information. It clears up a lot of questions for me.

Ah! Lets see, I better include "relevant information". :D

A stripped down version of ZC so that I can contain it in an I-Frame

Using the latest version

None, out of the Box but looking into some sort of Gallery

Well that question could fill a book. I took a generic template and stripped almost everything out to start off with just a blank page. Changed the css colors to match my regular forum site. Changed almost all the button colors to again match. It now fits in my SMF, TinyPortal site in an I-Frame. I left the SQL alone as I wanted my customers to be able to order without logging in. That way they become a member of ZC and not my regular site so that I could better track. I haven't gone live yet as I'm still setting up products.

No problems with layout as Zen is rather straight forward, very easy to install and customized in a way to suit my needs.

Only hosting issue is my Son messing with his server.

The FAQ's for ZenCart are fantastic to say the least, however I find that most of my issues are solved by doing a search of the Forum area as any issue I have has more than likely been answered in the past.

Have yet to test as I'm probably won't go live for a month or more. :clap:
