Creating a configurable Magento attribute from scratch

Question

I need to extend Magento to allow changing the price of a product based on an attribute, such as size or color. I can't use any in-built facilities Magento might have for this - I need to write the code myself. I'm a beginning Magento developer. Can anybody help? Maybe point me to a guide or walk-through for this on the internet? Thanks!

Answer 1

You may wish to read some of the basic guides on Magento to answer a question like this. This is entirely the point of configurable products and of custom product options.

Hope that helps

Thanks, Joe
