A way to handle Item variants when selecting an Item in webshop

[anandpdoshi]

• [ ] Make Item Group view as an Item
• [ ] Show variants as options to be selected while shopping
• [ ] Define "Group Select Attribute" in Item Group with Attribute (e.g. Size), Value (e.g. Large), Item Code (the item that points to this attribute)

Hi,

The requested pointer for the way Magento handles this is: http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/tutorial-creating-a-configurable-product , if you need any help or explanation please let me know. I can also set you up with our dev-store (admin pages) if you need more insight.

Please note: Item Group should be like categories and need sub categories e.g. group: workwear, sportswear .... sub group: (workwear) shoes, (workwear) trousers, (sportswear) shoes, (sportswear) shirts .... this is a basic way to filter items.

quote from earlier post:

" To give an idea we use Magento for our e-commerce site, in Magento we have a system to create a so called "Configurable Product " this is a kind of a Parent for Child products. This way Magento can show on the front side (store pages) the parent with the child items as options by selecting the option(s) the user selects the Child product in the database.

We extended this with a small script (for the admin) so we are able to enter the options we need on the Parent item and this will auto create the Child(s) item for this.

There is only one Parent that will act as a template for editing and visibility on the front-end pages."

Tom, Thanks for the link - we can use Item Group because its a tree structure. We will still need a way to define attributes so that they can be selectable in the shop pages.

Hey, @anandpdoshi, @rmehta the issue https://github.com/webnotes/erpnext/issues/852, refers too for a Item Variant manager.

Something like that would be ideal so the user could handle variations, the problem is that there is no manager, or standard variations.
