Re: product attributes and futures

["Robert G." <ga...@mercon24.de>]

Thanks for your replies.

@Ankit:
I dont mean that the attribute values are the same for all products within
this category, just the attribute-names. As example:

/*Product 1*
Attribute1: luminance
Attribute1-Value: 2000

Attribute2: Contrast
Attribute2-Value: 1000:1

*Product 2*
Attribute1: luminance
Attribute1-Value: 1500

Attribute2: Contrast
Attribute2-Value: 3000:1
/

Do you know what I mean? Im looking for a possibility to set the Attribute
(or feature, if its better) for the whole category, that i.ex. an employee
who add a new product to a category sees on product site which values he has
to insert to specify i.ex. the technical data of the product.

So The Attributes / Features are not selectable by the customer - these are
fixed product features / attributes.

I know that features are also possible for user selection (variant
products..) and attributes are like fixed details of a product.

If this is not possible I think I can do it this way:
orientating on category attributes. When a new category attribute (like
"contrast") is added, as service will be called to add this attribute to the
products as well. Or when I add a product in a category a service checks the
attributes of the category before to be available than.

But I dont wanna do sth which is maybe ootb in ofbiz,  so I need to know the
exact differences between features and attributes.

I would appreciate any help.

thank you.
