PropertyAdd: Attributes missing for 'selection' products

createanet · Post by **createanet** » 21 Sep 2021, 13:13

Hello,

I know this plugin ships with the core and it has had some iterations.

Im finding that product attributes that belong to a selection product are not being attached to the orders product attributes.

Is this intentional?

Thanks

Attributes and properties are two different things.
An attribute for a selection article could be "color" and this would be attached to the ordered product. Product properties are not attached to ordered products but you can add the one you need using the PropertyAdd plugin.

Sorry, it's probably my wording...

The PropertyAdd add plugin is working correctly for single articles and I understand the differences and how it works.

It fails when I need to use the properties from a variant on a selection product.

I have weights stored on the variants that I need to calculate shipping on an order.

Thanks,

...Just to clarify. I have the plugin setup to store the following properties for a ordered product.

Code: Select all

propertyadd.types = ["package-weight","package-net-weight"]

These are being stored successfully for product types matching "article", but are missing for orders made for products with a type of "selection" - as they don't exist on the selection product, but on the chosen variant.

Im thinking I may be need follow the advice previously given on this thread here, and to query the product again.

But now I notice the order fails to contain any reference to the original variant and only the selection product. So it would seem I also need to look into storing this ID along with the order?

Variants of selection products are not handled by the PropertyAdd plugin yet. If you create a pull request that adds the product code of the variant articles here, we are happy to merge it:

Thanks for the update on this. I've been on a little break and have just got around to looking at it today.

I have created a pull request with the suggested updates.

For me, as I am still using 2020.10, I have created a new plugin which implements these changes.
