Gestionar Características del Producto
Esta página le permite definir las características intrínsecas de un producto: que serán las mismas en todas las variaciones (o "combinaciones") del producto.
Debe pensar en las características de la misma forma en como piensa de los atributos del producto (véase el capítulo anterior), con la notable diferencia de que no puede crear variaciones de un producto basadas en las características.
La diferencia entre un atributo y una característica depende del propio producto. Algunos productos pueden compartir la misma propiedad, el primero es utilizado para la construcción de variantes de productos, el otro es simplemente una característica invariable.
Por ejemplo, un cliente puede comprar una variación del iPod basada en los atributos (color, capacidad del disco), pero no en las características (peso, tamaño).
Del mismo modo, otra tienda podría vender variaciones de camisetas basadas en los atributos (color, tamaño, género), pero no en las características (peso).
Features are configured on a per-product basis, from the "Product" page under the "Catalog" menu, but they must first be registered on your shop using the tool on the "Features" page under the "Catalog" menu.
You can set the features' order using the arrows in the "Position" column.
The "Actions" column gives an Edit action, a Delete action and a View action which you can click to display the available values for this feature. From there, you can sort, edit and delete values if you need to.
Adding a feature
Click on "Add new feature". A very simple form appears. This is where you name the feature itself: for example, the types of headphones provided with a music player.
Give a name to this new feature, and save your new feature to return to the attributes list.
Three more options are available when you enable the Layered Navigation Block module. They are not strictly tied to the layered navigation: they provide a direct URL to each of a product's variations. This way, not only is the customer able to send a correct link to a friend, but this also helps enhance your search engine placement.
- URL. The word to use in the URL. By default, PrestaShop uses the attribute's public name.
- Meta title. The word to use in the page's title. By default, PrestaShop uses the attribute's public name.
- Indexable. Whether search engines should index this attribute or not.
The customer can get the URL simply by clicking on an attribute from the product sheet: the URL will change to add a final detail, for instance #/color-metal or #/disk_space-16gb/color-green.
The layered navigation generator does make use of these too, hence the description text "Specific URL format in block layered generation" and "Use this attribute in URL generated by the layered navigation module".
Adding a value to a feature
Click on "Add new feature value". Another form appears.
Fill out the form:
- Feature. From the dropdown list, select one of the available features.
- Value. Give a value to the attribute: "5 lbs", "27 cm", etc.
...and save your feature value. You can add more values for the same feature type by saving your changes with the "Save and add another value" button.
