Just a quick question: how do I create an additional action for Variations, e.g., increasing the shipping weight for a product. As it stands you can affect the price, the rating, etc., but I can't seem to find a list of allowable Characteristic fields to modify.

Hi Graeme,

I asked Sascha about your question, since he developed the module.

He was not quite sure at the moment if it's not already possible. But even if not, it should be done with a few lines of code. Because of a deadline we could not look into it further.

Tomorrow the chances are better to find a few minutes to write a quick rundown.

Maybe we'll even extend the module to accomplish this, since we all agreed that this makes sense ;-)

Cheers

Hi Graeme,

sorry for the long reply time, lots of project work here :)

In the current version of the variant module it's not possible to add or remove fieldmodifier fields comfortably; there is a dirty way though.

The method "blackListFields()" in "silvercart_product_variants/code/base/SilvercartProductVariantFieldModifier.php" returns all blacklisted SilvercartProduct fields. The last entry of the returned array should be "Weight" - just remove that line and you'll be able to modify the weight with variants.

We'll add a better solution in the next version of the variants module (preferrably something static you can call via your project's _config.php).

All the best,
Sascha

Hi Sascha,

Thanks for that, I will give it a try.
