Parameters
The first thing you have to do before using the component is to visit the parameters page pressing
the icon found at the right top of the attributes view.

There are some important parameters.

Quality (%) used when processing images
Is the quality of the created images once they will be uploaded.This setting will affect the size (MB) of the new images and the quality of them.

Attribute Thumb Image Height (In px) ,Attribute Medium Image Height (In px) ,Attribute Full  
Image Width (In px) .

3 different images are being created after every successful upload. The 3 images have different sizes
The thumb image is used as the attribute's thumbnail image. The other 2 (Medium, Full) could be used to display the thumbnail in full preview.
Which of the 2 images (Medium or Full) will be used is decided by the module param named :Use as full image.

Managing Attributes

The attributes management could be done from the sophisticated GUI that AM offers.



From there you can edit,add and delete attributes and their properties.
You can also upload images for every property.

If you upload a lot of images or big images maybe the update process won't be completed because of server's restrictions to the uploaded files size or the processing time.

You have to press the refresh button to be able to view the changes you have made.

Bulk Attributes

The Bulk Attributes functionality can be used to create identical attributes for multiple products.
First you have to create your Bulk Attributes and then you have to assign them to specific products.

To Assign created bulk attributes to products, select some of them and press the assign button.

Then you have to select to which products the attributes will be assigned and select the assignment way.
There are 2 assignment ways.
1.Overwrite : This way the current bulk attributes will overwrite any other existing attribute of the selected products.
2.Append : This way the bulk attributes will be appended to any existing attribute of the selected products.

The module is used to change the way that attributes are being displayed in the flypage of your theme.

To use it:

Go to modules find the Attr manager VM module (type:mod_attribmanager_vm ) and edit it.
Set Show Title  to No
Enabled  to Yes
In the Position field write am_flypage

There you will find some more parameters which mainly concern the display of the attributes in the flypage.

Then go to plugins and enable the plugin named:Content - Load Module (file:loadmodule ,  type:content)

To display the attribute manager module in the flypage do the following:
1. Open the file:
components\com_virtuemart\themes\YOUR_THEME\templates\product_details\include\addtocart_advanced_attribute.tpl.php

2. Delete everything and paste the following code:

<?php if( !defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) && !defined( '_JEXEC' ) ) die( 'Direct Access to '.basename(__FILE__).' is not allowed.' );
jimport('joomla.application.module.helper');
// this is where you want to load your module position
$modules = JModuleHelper::getModules('am_flypage');
foreach($modules as $module)
{ echo JmoduleHelper::renderModule($module); }
?>

Save and that's it!

The changes to the code are being done to the Virtuemart theme and not to the Virtuemart core files.
