Hi Gilles,
It’s funny. I have my own problems with this non-native language ;-)

Gilles, thank you for your effort and the explanation. I see it now. In general, if your solution allows using of tokens then it is fine.

Maybe I should explain that I do not follow every code change in every pre-release version of Store module. I plan to analyze the next release and contribute my findings on this code base. My mod’s numbering system ends with number 90. Maybe you remember, that I tried to discuss about product attributes implementation somewhere on this forum. I implemented everything I wrote about this topic and as you can understand it was not a small task. This is main reason why am I waiting for next official release. If you would like to see how your module work with product attributes then look here. It is a small web site I am working on currently. It is not done but something can be seen on pages “Produkty” (Products) and “Online obchod” (Online store). Note that the table with product’s properties on product detail page is result of rendering of [ATTRIBUTES] token.

Best wishes …

Hi Jan,

Your site look nice!  Your implementation is good, but I think that's not enough for those who need product attributes. I suppose you have added  a grid on the Product Edit form using two columns (label and content). This is perfect for user defined fields/values, but what we need for the Store module is to allow product attributes like color or size using dropdown list. Moreover, each combination of several attributes could change the product price. Of course, product attributes should not be limited to dropdown list but to any kind of data type (textbox, radio butons, ...).

Best whishes! ;-)

Ask yourself what your reaction would be, if you were approached by me (a total stranger) on the street to ask you something without saying "Hello" nor "Thank you"? After several years of services dedicated to the community, I begin to be tired to read requests without any form of politeness.

There is more under the hood Gilles; it’s not the demo portal and the site does not need every possible feature :-)

First, implementation allows rendering of attributes as single value text or multi value comma separated text, multiline text (one attribute value per row) etc. and yes, as combo box too. Every attribute value can have assigned its own price increment (surcharge) and the total price is computed on the page dynamically. It accepts even every currently implemented token as value, e.g. [DIMENSIONS], [WEIGHT] etc.

Second, the rendering possibilities are easily expandable.

Finally, everything you are writing about in your previous post is with this implementation possible. For example usual T-shirts with different colors, sizes and of course with different prices.

Gilles, you are wrong with your idea of modified Product Edit form. This implementation uses its own admin page (plugged admin tab) where one can define his own attribute names and attribute values pairs. That name/value pairs can be freely assigned to one or many existing products. This is completely independent from the existing official store product implementation. No new fields in Products table etc. It uses its own table set. Generally speaking the features of official Store module are left intact.

Hi Jan,

I do not want to add a grid to the ProductEdit form, I said "I suppose" because the provided sample site do not show a dropdown list for the product attributes. I do not have a crystal ball! ;-)

If you have a demo web site with products using size or color at different price, I would be interested to see how you have made your interface. My idea is to create an admin tab to manage attributes, then to add a new tab to the product edit form to assign attributes and price combinations to the product.

Don’t speak you don’t have the crystal ball, Gilles. You look on the page with rendered table and you see a grid on the other page. Say me, how is this possible without a crystal ball? :-))

Sorry, I have no demo site at this time. I will try to invent some way how to show you what you want to see but sometime later. We have one day before holidays. Have you all presents in place already?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
