configurable-productmagento-1.9product-attribute
I get the following error when trying to make a configurable product on Magento 1.9
Only attributes with scope "Global", input type "Dropdown" and Use To Create Configurable Product "Yes" are available.
I've tried this already, but it isn't working :S
According to Magento, if you want to create a configurable product then you need first create an attribute:
Scope: should GlobalType: DropdownUse To Create Configurable make it yes.Then you need assign this attribute to attribute set
try it
//this $data - array
$sku_config = $data['sku']."_config";
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);
$website_ids = array(1);
$array_category_id = Mage::helper('parser/categorylist')->getCategoryArray();
$configProduct = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
try {
$configProduct
->setStoreId(self::STORE_ID)//you can set data in store scope
->setWebsiteIds($website_ids)//website ID the product is assigned to, as an array
->setAttributeSetId(self::ATTRIBUTE_SET)//ID of a attribute set named 'default'
->setTypeId(self::PRODUCT_TYPE_CONFIGURABLE)//product type
->setCreatedAt(strtotime(self::PRODUCT_TIME_CREATED))//product creation time
->setSku($sku_config)//SKU
->setName($data['name'])//product name
->setWeight($data['characteristic']['weight'])
->setStatus(self::PRODUCT_STATUS_ENABLED)//product status (1 - enabled, 2 - disabled)
->setTaxClassId(self::PRODUCT_TAXT_CLASS_NONE)//tax class (0 - none, 1 - default, 2 - taxable, 4 - shipping)
->setVisibility(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Visibility::VISIBILITY_BOTH)//catalog and search visibility
->setManufacturer($this->hasAttribute('manufacturer', $data['brand'])) //manufacturer id
->setPrice($data['price'])//price in form 11.22
->setCost($data['price'])//price in form 11.22
->setDescription($data['description'])
->setShortDescription($this->getShortDescriptions($data['description']))
->setCategoryIds(array($array_category_id[$name_cat]))
->setStockData(array(
'use_config_manage_stock' => 0, //'Use config settings' checkbox
'manage_stock' => 1, //manage stock
'is_in_stock' => 1 //Stock Availability
)
);
if(isset($data['spec_price']) && !empty($data['spec_price'])){
$configProduct->setSpecialPrice($data['spec_price']);
}

}
also need attribute properties seting "Use To Create Configurable Product" - YES
Best Answer
It looks like you are creating your attribute correctly, add some options to it. Once your attribute is complete, you need to add it to the attribute set by going here: Catalog > Attributes > Manage attribute sets. Once there add your attribute to the attribute set:
Once you do that, you may need to re-index. Now you can create a configurable product, go to Catalog > Manage Products then select "Add a Product" on the New Product screen select your attribute set, and select "Configurable Product" front the Product Type drop down list. When you click continue you should see your attribute as a checkbox:
Select your attribute and proceed to create your product like any other product. Hope this helps.
