Product Attribute Count is empty

[lesliekirk]

I'm trying to figure out why this token from the Product Attribute Template layout is rendering "empty".

<input type="hidden" name="Product_Attribute_Count" value="&mvte:global:Product_Attribute_Count;">

it displays on the product page as

<input type="hidden" name="Product_Attribute_Count" value=" ">

which of course causes adding the product to the basket impossible - sends you to the PATR screen and keeps looping from there.

I even tried copying the code for the field from another store thinking it may have been missing something. Everything seems to be okay until that hidden field.

Re: Product Attribute Count is empty

The g.Product_Attribute_Count variable was removed in PR7. The software now does a count of the g.Product_Attributes variable itself instead of relying on that field being submitted.

If you still need to access the product attribute count, you could use the new store morph features with the following line within the Product Attribute template (engine version 5.19 and newer):

<mvt:eval expr="miva_array_elements( l.settings:attributes )" />

or

<mvt:assign name="g.Product_Attribute_Count" value="miva_array_elements( l.settings:attributes )" />

Hi Leslie: We use the toolkit attr function to determine if there are product attributes.
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="attr|attr_count|l.all_settings:product:id" />
