Developers: Do not try to form your own attribute output

Liam Dilley Nov 4, 2014 3:20 PM

This is for partners and developers.
This is just a post to save you some time.

A product output on the large layout will include attributes, but you can not form your own loop through on them. IT is an odd format and a few tricky things to get them to output but it is possible but for radio and checkboxes they need the attribute group ID, this is not exposed at this time so they will never be added into the product as part of the product.

I have passed info on to the BC engineers, but until it is changed, do not waste time trying it

Just a friendly post to save you some hassles trying when it wont work just yet.

So does this mean the Attributes+ App will be dead in the new Beta?

What do you mean?
This is just front end with liquid.
If you try and render your own liquid layout, you will have to overcome a few things, but in the end, because you can not obtain an attribute group ID it does not work.

The json attributes tag is in the perfect structure, BC just needs to use that when it exposes attributes on the product object.
