Hi

Is it possible to pull attributes into templates other than the product page?

 

I'd like to display attributes on the home page in the featured products mod, not just an image, description etc.

 

I'm currently using AWP but I'm open to suggestions.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Darren.

Yes and no.

 

http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/attribute-modules/59-product-list-attributes.html allows you to display the attributes in the product list pages and in the homepage, but, it doesn't work with AWP since it changes the way combinations work, and usually means you have a lot of attributes.

 

If you only use a couple of attribute groups without many attributes, you can use the regular AW, which will also work with Product List Attributes

Ok thats great, but I think that may be more advanced that what I'm looking to do.

The attributes in question will only have 1 value. I'm not looking to allow multiple options (dropdowns and the like). I'd just like to get a single instance of the information 'on page'.

Is it possible to just query the data from the database and print it to the template?

Or is this too simplistic?

 

Thanks again.

If it helps here an early development site with the product page and its attributes;

And where I'd like to place some attributes (month, text, minutes)

Do you want to just display them, or actually allow for selection before adding to the cart?

[daztheblue]

Just display. All the configuration is pre-determined and the user will only be adding to basket from the actual product page. I've looked into running a mySQL select query on the smarty template, but that again looks a bit over the top. Surely the data exists its just a question of extracting it.

Thanks again for your time. Really appreciated

You can look in ProductController.php, the attributes get pulled there (for the product page).

You will have to do something similar in the categoryController (override file)

Great, I'll take a look. Thanks again.

I read up on Attribute Wizzard Pro and it seems good but I am now finacially strapped and cant afford it. I am trying to set up one product that my costomers all are asking me for and its the only product I would carry that I need a lot of Attributes for.

 

I have 19 different moddification about 10 of those have a choice of color to pick. Is there a way to do that with a free module? I just cant afford AWP at least not yet...

 

Help Please

Do you mean you need to have 19 different attribute groups, with 10 options in each?

 

If you do not need to have a price impact for them, and you know some Javascript, you could get the same results using http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/prestashop-modifications/16-special-instructions-textarea.html

 

If the total combination you will use is under 1,000 - 3,000 (The number of attribute in each group X the number of attribute in the next group), then you don't need AWP at all.
