There??™s quite a bit to go through but not much more than what you had to endure in the
previous chapter. Feel free to look ahead at the figures to see the visual appearance of the new
features. Let??™s start!
Administering Product Attributes
The first feature we??™ll create in this chapter is the product attributes management page. This
page is accessible through a new link in the administration menu that reads ???PRODUCT
ATTRIBUTES ADMIN.??? Clicking that link takes you to the page shown in Figure 11-1.

Figure 11-1. Editing product attributes
As you know from Chapter 6, where we added support for product attributes, each attribute
can have a number of possible attribute values. For example, for the Color attribute, possible
values can include Green, Pink, Black, and so on. When a product supports an attribute, we must
also specify the possible attribute values that the customer must choose when making a purchase.
