isaac_cm Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hello, I have to in my site related product options size and available colors , I destined my admin panel so I can enter all attributes once ex: A) options --------- 10 - Red 10 - Blue 10 - White 12 - Red 12 - Blue 14 - White then select from previous options to assign to some product , the problem that is that way correct or I have to make the options unrelated like that B) options --------- 10 12 14 Red Blue White then when I select option I use "UNION SELECT" to combine the options together to get the result like options (B) , if I have to use this pattern I will need advice on the SQL I should use also if I virtually combine all the options how I prevent the user from deleting option "10" (B) because there is a product has this size like that "10 - Blue" assigned to it I need to make the options related so only available color appear to specific size Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67271-which-way-is-correct/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

isaac_cm Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 I mean I dont want to create table and name it "size" I want my CMS to be more flexible and accept any options (size, color, style, etc...)

isaac_cm Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 I did that , but the problem is I saw some CMS software admin panel and they handle options in a very complex way they first store every unique options and then the result options generated is a multiplication of all possible options , so do you think they are right ? but most of CMS uses the options independent of each others Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67271-which-way-is-correct/#findComment-341647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
schme16 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Altering a pre-made CMS is difficult and annoying..... Often its simply easier to switch to one that offers support for your needs, or to build one for yourself.....
