How to assign a simple product to an existing configurable product?
Hello Sagar,
The above code is only for creating a new configurable product.
Thank You.
Hi Sanjay, do you have any example of php code, where we can assign multiple attributes such as color / size and then assign simple products to configurable product via code? Please help if possible.
Hello Prashant,
You’ll have to create the size and color attribute.
For example:
$attr = $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('color');$avid = $attr->getSource()->getOptionId('Blue');
$_product->setData('color', $avid);
Thank you.
