Cloning Variants and Templates for a large list of products

[pongguru]

I have a category and the products under that category has the same product variants and product templates. Now I have created just one product, how can I clone the same variant and template for some 25 products? I don't want to go through the pain of creating the variant and template for all the new 24 other products.

You may write a custom script to get this functionality like this

Code: Select all

 
    List<Product> products = ProductDataSource.NarrowSearch(string.Empty, Category_id, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, string.Empty);
        foreach (Product product in products)
        {
            Option option = new Option();
            option.ProductOptions.Add(new ProductOption(product.ProductId, 0));
            option.Name = "Option_Name";
            option.Save();
            OptionChoice optChoice = new OptionChoice();
            optChoice.Name = "Variant_Name";
            optChoice.OptionId = option.OptionId;
            optChoice.Save();
        }

If you haven't entered the new products, you could copy the first one, then change name, price, sku, etc.
