Make attributes work (linked)

Hi there

after searching all over, with my poor php skills I have come to an end of my search.

I want the list/table of product attributes that I created actually work for the visitor, i.e. clicking on them works just like clicking on categories or tags.

As you can see in this discussion
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/make-the-attributes-links?replies=7#post-7335486

I think at the end I found which file outputs the code, and I found about three tutorials that circle sloser to this problem. But none of them exactly nails it, at least I don’t know how to implement it.

Can someone help? I don’t get why this isn’t standard behavior in the first place. Many thanks!

Products > Product Attributes, edit. To enable archives.

Then you would need to customise this file to output the attribute + links, unless the plugin in the other thread works https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/master/templates/single-product/product-attributes.php

because if you enable archives, they will be crawlable for one thing.

well I would want them crawlable, or I could put these taxonomies outside the crawling range with robots.txt or something

I know I know this is the file I would have to customise, but I don’t know how the code would have to look like, my php skills are too limited.

Did you see if the other plugin does it? It lists attributes, and archives can be enabled..

I dont quite understand where to put that code though, it doesnt work putting it into the same file or anything. And I dont see that plugin outputting a html table like the default code does for that info tab in the product view

There was no code in the thread you linked to.

Take a look at:

this doesnt say where to put it, and that code certainly doesnt output any html tables….

this sounds about right but i have no clue how or where to implement this I am afraid

The 2nd one looks to be intended for https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/master/templates/single-product/product-attributes.php You can override that file via your theme http://docs.woothemes.com/document/template-structure/

Yea, any idea how the final code would look like in product-attributes.php then?

Ah! Now that works (as long as the replacing excludes the TD tags, so your code goes between those).

Many thanks, that is what I was looking for exactly.
