wouldn't it be great to be able to set up subproduct attributes as filters, and expose them on views so that an end user can filter a taxonomy/term page for products in their size. Is this already possible?

I have the same problem, I would like to show the subproduct attribute as field in my view... and it's impossible.

I don't know how to do that

please, help !!

try looking up about exposing fields and filters to views, once you understand that it's relatively easy, although perhaps time consuming. You'll need SQL and PHP knowledge, and some understanding of MySQL databases.

hi,

can you be more explicit bevan ?

Because I don't see the link between the fact to show subproduct attribute and filters which is used to restrict listing...

thanks

Filters in views is what allows one to filter a list of nodes. My initial feature request wasn't very clear, so I suspect we're not having the same feature in mind.

hi
not sure if this will help but you can .....
>use cck to create a custom contnet type, for example 'jumpers', add what ever fields you wish and make sure it is a product node [product type drop down list].
>then use taxonamy to make a few categories and vocabularies, so something like 'colour' then 'red', 'green' etc
>and assign them to them to the new product type 'jumpers'
>you can also use views and create some filters or exposed filters to sort through these categories

Alexandre, Bevan and anon,

well, the new Subproduct module for Ecommerce 4 will have a better interaction with Views. This feature will be not available to Ecommerce 3. There is a module, called EC Live Subproducts that uses Taxonomy to coordinate the variations, so its a partial fix. EC Live Subproducts will be merged to original subproducts, so you will get full support here.

regards,

massa
