Help with Attributes

Post by lecarlb »

Hello,

If I'm selling rings and each size of the ring has a separate model, is it possible to set up attributes in Phoenix so each size can be assigned to a parent and also have a unique model number? Phoenix version 1.0.8.20

For example:

ABCDE is parent model number

Then each child...
ABCDE-4 is size 4
ABCDE-5 is size 5
ABCDE-6 is size 6
and so on...

I have not seen anything like that as far as I know. It would be a great feature to have though.

I was just thinking maybe Gary have created something like this. I'm searching now.

Isn't QT Pro doing that ?
I do recall making something along with Matt (Sweetness and Light), it's here;
https://www.clubosc.com/stocktake-by-at ... nised.html

However, I have not looked at this addon for a very long time (probably since more than 5 years) so it definitely would not work with Phoenix and I don't even know if I could find the original addon code (being as I got locked out of my old oscshops gmail account, which is where I stored almost all of my backups) :¬/

I do remember the addon being a bit clunky for setting up , but it did a job for a few shopowners.

No QT Pro doesn't do that unfortunately.

I wish you had access to that code. It would be a gem. All I needed was to have a parent model number then group the variants under that model number and they have their distinct stock levels. Sort of like a master/slave system. That code seems to be what I was looking for.

@burt let me know if you remember the logic. I'm interested.

I have been toying a bit with something similar; a pseudo-product, which will not show in listings, but have its own product_info page.
It should be able to have separate information in every field (except products_status), but automatically draw the info from the main product, when specified to do so. There are a couple of things I still need to figure out, but the main outlines are there.
Sorry for nothing to look at, just wanted to mention that I might have something cooking

Hi,
I think it could be done with QTPro but that depends on what you'd like to achieve.

In my thinking all the needed data is there. You have product_id's, Model Numbers, Names and Id's for attributes and their stock. All that can be pulled and combined from DB.

Is it only a question about how they should be shown to the customer?

So for which purpose? Should they have to be listed as single products in listings? Or is it just about the presentation inside the product info? Is it about importing/exporting stock data?

For both last ones there can be things done with QTP for the first I do not know.

Once there was a master/slave mod but that was not usable to me.

Kind regards

Christoph

I'm hoping to list the main model/sku number, then list the model numbers of the attributes. Also, I want it displayed to the customers so they will know the quantities. So I want to be able to import/export model numbers and quantities of the attributes. I hope that make sense.

I have QT Pro. I love the layout but I don't see where I can use the model numbers of the attributes.

Thanks

Maybe that PI QT Pro Stock Table Module could be adapted to your needs regarding showing stock to your customers?

And sorry, another question: What do you mean by attribute model numbers? There are products_options_values_id's which have to be unique and their names for the languages in use. The later could be called or used as attribute model if I look at your first post.

For exporting/importing using QTPro you'd need to use the product_id's, the options_id's and the products_options_values_id's as they are all unique product_model, names are not.

I'm just searching in my older files AFAIR I did some heavy adaption of Google Base Data Feeder to get both stock for products with attributes using QTPro and those without into a csv.

Which version of phoenix do you use and have your products only sizes or combinations like colors and sizes?

Kind regards

Christoph
