This guide explains how to create a new advanced attribute and how to enable it for a specific product within the management panel.
Part 1: Creating the Advanced Attribute (Global Configuration)
First, you need to define the attribute in the plugin configuration panel.
1. Access the Advanced Attributes plugin configuration section.
2. Click the Add Field button to create a new attribute.
3. In the newly created block, fill in the following fields:
- Field Name: Enter the name that the attribute will have (e.g., "Preferred Color").
- Field Type: Select the type of input that the user must use (e.g.,
Input,Number,Selection).
4. Depending on the selected Field Type, additional fields may appear:
- If you choose
SelectionorSelection via images, fill in the Accepted Values field by entering available options separated by a semicolon (;). - If the attribute is a text or number field, you can fill in the Placeholder (the example text that appears in the empty field).
5. (Optional) Select Make Required if the user must provide a value for this attribute.
6. (Optional) Select Apply to all products if you want this attribute to be active by default for every product.
7. Save changes to the plugin configuration.
Part 2: Enabling the Attribute on a Specific Product
After creating the attribute, you need to enable it for the desired product (unless you selected "Apply to all products" in the previous step).
1. Go to the product management section and open the product you want to modify.
2. Within the product edit screen, click on the Advanced Attributes tab (identified by the cube icon <i class="fa fa-cubes"></i>).
3. In this section, you will find a list of available advanced attributes.
4. Locate the attribute you created (identified by its Field Name) and check the box next to:
- Enable [Attribute Name]
5. Save changes to the product.
The advanced attribute will now be visible and selectable or fillable by users on the product page.
