Extending Product Attribute (not the terms)

    Hello,

    When I try to extend the existings, in the list of available items, I see the attributes that we have, and I can extend them. But the issue is, it will extend the terms of that attribute, not the attribute itself.

    In our case, we want to extend the Attribute itself (not it’s terms) and add a Full Description field to it (which later we add a popup on click for the attribute title, on the product page. the popup will show the attribute description)

    But I can’t seem to find a way to extend the attribute itself by PODS. Am I missing something here?

    Even better, if we be able to extend the “Add new attribute” form. In that case, any new attribute we make, will have the Full Description field as well, and all previously created attributes will also get a Full Description field as well. Which saves a lot of time.

    Thanks

    This plugin may be of interest: https://github.com/crowdfavorite/wp-taxonomy-landing

    It allows overriding the default taxonomy archive pages with custom pages, e.g., for adding a full description on the page.

    Thanks Paul for the link, but I’m afraid that plugin is not related to what I’m going to do. (at least as I’ve checked it)

    Probably I couldn’t clearly explain what I want to do.

    But I feel like if PODS one day make it possible to extend the Attributes themeselves (and not their terms), it will open many doors for us to create our ideas.

    Do you think there is any plan for that @pdclark ?

    Thanks

    Hi @dadparvar

    An Attribute and a Term is basically the same thing in WordPress. In fact, an attribute is a term.
    However, I assume you are talking about WooCommerce product attributes.
    WooCommerce basically adds taxonomies dynamically which are in fact the Attributes.
    However, the attributes themselves are not taxonomies or post types. For this reason these objects cannot be extended by Pods.

    You could create a feature request on GitHub for this but at the moment I’m not even sure WooCommerce would support extending these objects at all.

    Cheers, Jory
