Jigoshop Product Addons Extension -vs- Native Jigoshop Product Variables / Attributes

images

Instead of using the native Jigoshop attribute functionality that's built into Jigoshop (that sometimes gives customers problems until they understand it's functionality), I've been using an alternative extension as an add-on to Jigoshop called Product Addons. The Product Add-Ons extension allows you to add additional data fields to your individual product pages. That means you can add any field with a custom text title, and then allow customers … [Read more...]

I'm pretty stoked, the documentary about one of my all-time favorite performers (and homeboy from Turkey Scratch, Arkansas), Levon Helm, is set to be released real soon. I've seen a lot of good reviews of the film already. In case you haven't seen the preview trailers, see below... John W.
