Adding Attributes & Options manipulation support for product actions module

Well - thanks for that! such a beautiful feature request ;)

When you say "Now that there is an API for Attributes" - what exactly are you referring to? ;)
I remember seeing stuff about this for Commerce and D7, but nothing for D6...

In any case - I'll have a look at implementing this, as you've noticed this issue crossed my mind...
Thanks for the feedback!

I'd like to know if you made it work for attributes. I came across the same problem, and I am desperate as i have thousands of products of which i would have to change prices in the future. Any news on this feature?

+1, or rather +15,000 little moments of thinking 'THANKYOU!' every time I auto-add an attribute. Yep. 15k products. In a randomly formatted list. I'm trying to write a rule to do this atm, so that I can use CCK integer fields to control attributes / stock and SKU adjustments. When I get this working I'd like to contribute, but I need some help. I've just posted my progress (not much so far) here.

Any pointers >greatly< appreciated.

We can start with this:

@brokendesign: I think that as TR mentions on that post you link to, you should use the newly-commited API.

I just went over the code which was commited (as lindsayo noted above):

And it seems doable.. I hadn't found the time to get back to this feature request yet, but if you have any specific questions please go ahead and i'll try to help.

Looks like there is now interest in getting this going - lets give it a shot ;)

I've had a brief look, but I'm not even really sure what I'm looking at.

I ended up using MySQL queries in an action to copy attributes and options (and generate SKUs) from an existing node in an action, and also an action to delete all attributes.

I found the test file quite dense, but it's also possible that it's just me being quite dense.
That said, I really only skimmed over it. I got halfway through patching the module to add another action to let you copy attributes from an existing node. I'm now quite busy but I'll come back to it; I suppose it's just about still worth it while D7 >still< isn't mature enough to actually use for anything other than a hairdresser's photo-blog.

It will be a huge step for multilang websites !!!
Where attributes/options are not synchronized between translations...

I'm working on a site which probably requires this feature. It depends on if the client decides to use VBO to update products, or CSV import. So I may be producing a patch shortly.

UPDATE: Bulk editing/setting attributes and options is going into Ubercart core: #298395: Let admin push class attribute/option changes out to existing nodes, so this feature is probably not needed for Product Actions module.

It would be very helpful to be able to set a stock level for a specified attribute/option combination (or alternate SKU) via VBO. Exposed filter support for attributes/options is now present in uc_views, but stock support is missing from both this module and uc_rules. (Could be done via PHP, of course.)

The recent bulk attribute/option change support added to Ubercart, while welcome, doesn't really help with this.
