Description
Hi Ryan et all,
I'm using this to export orders into CSV.
As far as I can see, attributes aren't exported.
I have a textfield attribute on one of my products to allow some extra deatil on that product to be added.
However, I don't see this detail on the exported report.
Am I doing something wrong?
Would it be a difficult job to add that im?
Where would I look to start?
Regards
Alan

Alan,
You are correct, the EDI module does not directly export attributes, but it does export SKUs. So if you assign a unique SKU to each attribute it may work for you, depending on the complexity of your attribute scheme.

Hi Clint,
I'll need the SKUs anyway.
I'll need to somehow get access to the attributes in the report too.
Haven't looked at it in a while.
At the very least, I'll might need to hack the code for this module to get access to that information.
Any idea where I should start :-)

The solution is to make the SKUs reflect the attributes assigned to a product. So if a book's color attribute can be black and white or full color, you could configure the SKUs to be 12345-BW and 12345-Color. I added this explanation to the product page.

If this doesn't answer your question, please feel free to re-open. It would be helpful if you provide a more detailed description of what you're trying to do and the result you're getting.

Hi Erza-g
Thanks for the response.
The issue here is that the value for the attribute is assigned by the purchaser [it is a textfield attribute].
The product allows for the customers to put some custom text in.
So it is not possible to rely on the SKUs, as they must be input in advance.
AFAIK, I can't dynamically assign a SKU based on some customer input.
Thanks for the help anyway.
I honestly can't remember how I got around this problem, but that project is well completed and somehow I did, probably with a custom SQL query.
Kind regards, and thanks again for the help,
Alan
