I’m on the hunt for a straightforward e-commerce platform that employs an entity-attribute-value (EAV) architecture, reminiscent of Magento but much simpler. The system can be developed in any language such as PHP, Java, or .NET. My critical requirement is the ability to flexibly assign specific attributes to groups of items—for example, a drill bushing might need both inner and outer diameters, while a drill bit may only require one measurement. I would appreciate any recommendations or insights!
hey, u might try syliuz. its not pure eav but it’s flex with custom attr groups and works decently. might need some tweaking though, but worth a look if u dont mind config fiddling a bit.
Based on personal experience with similar systems, it’s worth considering an alternative approach by looking into projects like Prestashop customized for EAV functionalities. I adapted an out-of-the-box solution to manage varying tool attributes efficiently using a custom extension. Though it required additional coding to segregate attribute groups for specific item types, the end result was flexible and met niche requirements well. The key is to start with a stable base and then tailor the attribute handling logic to suit the specific measurement needs of different tools.
