Hi,
that with the Attributes might be a good Idea. I went another way, as I
wanted to have and define my new Product-Attributes totally
independently from the Django-Core. (This allows for custom
model-methods, adding all you need for the attributes (description,
pictures, etc.) and so on without troubling my mind with overriding any
other models. If you don't need any of that, it might be a good idea to
use the attributes. Still, I think you're seeing some things a little
bit more complicated than they actually are:

Actually, something like that is what I was thinking last night while
fliping through the pages of my Django Book.
I was thinking about using the Attributes model that Satchmo allready
has, just to make it easier for future updates and so.
With my approach you shouldn't touch the core-code at all, so updates
wouldn't be an issue. You should create all these new Model-Classes on a
local-app in your project, something like:
satchmoproject/store/localsite/prodattributes/models.py
There you create a Model for each Group: Color, Material, etc. As I
already posted.
and on: satchmoproject/localsite/prodattributes/admin.py ... you add
the part for the inlines. And if you want to, you can also add each
model too, to batch edit attributes, etc.
Then creating the values throught the python shell or raw SQL
statements, so I would have Attribute.Name=Color,
Attrubte.Values=[white,black,golden, [etc...]]
Then creating custom validations for this attributes which will not
let the staff user to add more values than the values that allready
exists in the DB. This way the staff user could only choose between
the values that I allready populated (or any other admin user that
know what he/she is doing).
About the user-restriction to change/delete/create attributes, well you
probably can adjust permissions for a group of users (the normal users)
to not to be able to change, add, delete anything in the
prodattributes-app. And the admins can still use the admin for managing
these. I'm not 100% sure if this users would still be able to select the
inline attributes on the product-pages or not, but if that's no problem,
then this would be the easiest way of achieving this.
This way I'm only going to have to create some views in order to
retrieve this Attrbutes to display them the way I want. Something like
doing a search of the attributes giving an array with the slugs and
sorting them by Value, grouping the same value, and then by Attribute
Name. This way I can create a list like this:
{% retrieve_special_atts "[custom slug a rray]" as Attributes %}
<ul>
<li>
{% for atname in Attributes %}
{{ Attributes.Name }}
<ul>
{% for value in Attributes.values %}
<li> {{value.name}} </li>
{%endfor%}
</ul>
{%endfor%}
</li>
</ul
This is not finished, because I will also need this not to be a list
but a form. So every Attribute Value would be a checkbox, and whenever
a user ticks any of the attribute values would call a filtering
function wich would read the category that the user allready is in and
the get data which will have the attribute filter values and fitler
the products accordingly.
yes, that's something similar to what I did. I implemented a box on the
right side-bar to filter products based on the selected checkboxes
(without Ajax though... on my version the user needs to press an "apply"
button). You can use context-processors to set the filter-settings
"globally" and adjust your views/templates for the category listings and
search to use this filter-settings in case they are set.

Andrea

Hi,
I wouldn't do it with tags.
The first reason: they use generic relations so it can be
sometimes more complex to make things work the same as with
"normal" relations. But the main reason for me to avoid using tags
in your case would be, that it would be very difficult to group
your attributes, like Material: gold, silver, .... Colors: red,
green, ... , etc. And lets say use something like a filter-box or
something based on this goups.
I think a more flexible and still very easy approach would be to
use a model for each attribute-group, like:
class Color(models.Model):
product = models.ManyToManyField(Product, blank=True, null=True)
name = models.CharField(_("Name"), max_length=30)
slug = models.SlugField(...)
So this way you can filter your products on a selected color like:
Product.objects.filter(color__slug==myslug)
You can integrate this Attributes on the admin Product-page adding
an inline to the object
For integrating this new attributes on the admin's product page,
look at my answer (username = andzep) on stackoverflow:

Hi, I'm building a webstore. I am going to sell Jewelry here,
so the thing
is that I have my main categories like "earrings, necklaces"
and so on. But
I need some attributes like "Material, color, stone, size".
But these can't
be Options because not every product is available in all
colors or all
sizes and I don't fell comfortable with attributes because I
need a way to
list all this attributes and be able to filter the result as
per attribute
selected.
So I was thinking about installing Django-tagging, it seemes
this is more
or less what I need. The only problem is if I am going to be
able to have a
tree like distribution for my tagging? and do I have to
modify the product
models in order to implement the tagging?
Thank you in advance.
