How do I create a product attribute out of my custom module in Magento?
I'm working on a "record store" in magento and I've created an "artists module" to store artist information. Now I want to have an "Artist" dropdown attribute for the catalog items that is fed from this module.
I understand how to create custom attributes in the magento admin, but i'm looking for insight, tutorials, advice on how to use the custom table from my 'Artists' module to feed the attribute, very similar to relating products to brands.
after more searching i've found this...but i'm still pretty clueless. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1526791/magento-how-to-prefill-values-of-a-products-dropdown-attribute
