New to magento & coding request help...
Am creating a new fabric store where I am wanting customers to use the navigation bar and filter to the products based on attributes e.g.
Filter 1 - type of cloth
Filter 2 - Color
Filter 3 - Usage
Filetr 4 - Pattern
However In the type of cloth when I upload products I have a custom attributes called "Product_type" , "Product_Color", "Product_Usage", "Product_Pattern" etc and each time a new set of products get uploaded new attributes can be added - e.g first set of products has only silk and then the next set has cotton etc.
How do I create a navigation bar where these attribute names are accounted for automatically without my having to go to the admin panel and set the attributes to a certain value i.e after a few months I could have a new color coming in, how do I code so that it appears on the navigation bar automatically as a choice if that is available as a product.
Again the next question is how do I make the fabric as a basic choice to begin with and then this gets to be stiched into a shirt etc - my end objective to to get the person to begin with a fabric with a end usage that is very different e.g. shirt or pant or suit - cloth requirement is very different so that I can calculate pricing at the end only.
Thanks
