How about deleting some of the super attributes?

This seems even be impossible in the admin after setting it once for the configurable product.

Well, thank you for the post regarding Eclipse. It gave me the courage to try to figure that out again and it is just what I needed! I’ve figured out how to do the configurable product price updates. In case anyone else is looking for a way to do that:

$productid = ’2937′ ;
$product = Mage::getSingleton(‘catalog/Product’)->load($productid);

$configurableAttributeData = $product->getTypeInstance()->getConfigurableAttributesAsArray($product) ;

foreach($configurableAttributeData as $attributeData){

// Update super attributes as required

$id = isset($attributeData['id']) ? $attributeData['id'] : null;
Mage::getModel(‘catalog/product_type_configurable_attribute’)
->setData($attributeData)
->setId($id)
->setStoreId($product->getStoreId())
->setProductId($productid)
->save();
}

That would go a *long* way to get me out of this problem. Thank you for taking the time to give this a look. dave

Ooops, I guess I was slamming my head first… ;O)

Right now, I’m trying to automate some pricing updates from an external inventory system. When I update simple products that are associated with configurable products I need to also update the super attribute’s price. I have tried this: (ProductID 2937 is definitely configurable.)

$thisCfgableProd = Mage::getSingleton(‘catalog/Product’)->load(2937) ;
$cfgOptions = $thisCfgableProd->getTypeInstance(true) ;
$cfgOptionsAttr = $cfgOptions->getConfigurableAttributesAsArray($thisCfgableProd) ;
foreach ($cfgOptionsAttr as $attribute) {
if(attribIwant) $attribute['values'][x]['pricing_value'] = 150 ;
Mage::getResourceModel(‘catalog/Product_Type_Configurable_Attribute’)->savePrices($attribute) ;
}

savePrices dies right away doing
Call to a member function getValues() on a non-object in
…. Eav/Mysql4/Product/Type/Configurable/Attribute.php

I’ve been grinding at this for a couple of days now. I’m just about to update the database directly, but I would like to avoid that if I can.

Any suggestions would be *most* appreciated.

All you have to do is drill down into the core classes from above and you will get all the functions you want Also you will have to work for a while in Magento and “slam” you head into your desk time and again for getting the answer you want!

Hi, I’m doing my best to customize a magento site and I am *very* interested in finding out how to locate class methods, etc. How do you find out all of the wonderful method calls that you use? Where do you look?
