Magento – How to set default Product In Websites attribute for all new products

attributesdefault

When adding new products you have to set Product In Websites attribute in Websites tab. Is there a way to set a default website automatically? I only have one website, so I think it is an unnecessary step to check the main website checkbox for every product. Am I wrong?

Best Answer

~~Did you try? If you only have one website you don't need - afaik - to add the product to the website. it is enough when you enable the product.~~

Good way

Not so easy way? Write a module, add a layout.xml file and change the template of the tab_websites block in app/design/adminhtml/default/default/layout/catalog.xml:261 and then copy the template and change it.

Easy and hacked way

Change app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/catalog/product/edit/action/websites.phtml

Magento – Configurable Products – attribute label, “use default” issue

If you want to do it for all attributes of all configurable products, then:

UPDATE catalog_product_super_attribute_label SET use_default = 1

If you want to do it for particular product or particular attribute you have to JOIN with catalog_product_super_attribute table using product_super_attribute_id field of both tabels.

Magento – Changing the Attribute Set for a Simple Product

The attribute set reference is a column in the catalog_product_entity table. Changing that should change the attribute set.
So if you want to do it by code:

$product->setAttributeSetId(12)->save();

If you want to do it from an admin interface you can give this extension a try. Even if it says it's compatible with CE 1.6.1, I used it with success on EE 1.12 (that is equivalent to CE 1.7).
