Question of product attributes -> types? specific use case
Posted: 22 Jul 2016, 01:27
first of all, i am happy i found this. This shop looks awesome. I worked with woocommerce before and even had a go at magento. Nightmare!
2 questions, note i am a developer.
1.) first what are the other attribute list types apart from default?
i was looking here https://aimeos.org/docs/User_Manual/Adm ... ct_details but couldn't find details to the attributes
2.)
EDIT: i guess for this use case I use "property" i guess that is the word for configuration i was looking for in the import and could not find?
here is my a bit special use case. A client is selling colors, he has around 1100 colors. These colors are unique to most products, but not all. That is, each product has a color. So we store a rgb value per product and as well a unique name. Now i could create 1100 attributes for all colors... but is that really the idea?
another thing, there is a SKU code for each item, where we use the product code field for... but there is as well a second unique product code per item that is not the SKU code that we use internally. Are we supposed to store them as attribute as well?
wouldnt it be better adding some new columns or maybe even new table?
I have seen that there exists "product configuration", maybe that is the thing I want to use?
but how can I import them via csv?
configuration does not seem to exist in the mapping

thanks so much
