## Description

Products in the same category usually need the **same attributes** – only the values
differ. Every shoe needs brand, material, size and colour, every laptop needs processor,
RAM and storage.

**Auto Attribute Assigner** lets you define these attributes once per product category,
optionally with a default value. When you create a product in that category, the
attributes are added automatically. You only fill in the values – no more searching
and adding the same attributes by hand, and no forgotten attributes that break your
shop filters.

**Example**

Rule for « Shoes » (incl. sub-categories): Brand, Material (default: Leather), Size,
Colour.
 You create a product in « Shoes > Women » and save it – the four attributes
are already there, material is set to « Leather ». You only enter brand, size and
colour.

**Features**

 * Unlimited category rules, each with as many attributes as you need.
 * Optional default value per attribute.
 * Rules can apply to all sub-categories – one rule for a whole category branch.
 * Attributes are assigned automatically when a product is first created.
 * Attributes are **not** re-added on later updates, so attributes you removed stay
   removed.
 * Manual « Assign » button in the product’s attribute section.
 * « Assign presets to all products » button for your existing catalogue.
 * Category selection with the full hierarchy and slugs.
 * Role based permissions: decide per user role who may see the plugin, edit or 
   delete rules and run assignments.
 * Available in English and German.

This plugin is **completely free** with **no feature limits**. If it saves you time,
you can support its development with a small donation using the « Support / Donate»
button – thank you!

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it directly from
    the WordPress plugin directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the « Plugins » menu in WordPress.
 3. Make sure WooCommerce is installed and activated.
 4. Create your product categories and attributes in WooCommerce (Products > Categories/
    Attributes).
 5. Go to **Auto Attribute Assigner** in the admin menu and create your category rules.

## FAQ

### How do I assign attributes to a category?

Open **Auto Attribute Assigner**, select a product category, check the attributes
you want (optionally with a default value) and save the rule. New products in that
category receive the attributes automatically.

### Does a rule also apply to sub-categories?

Only if you check « Also apply to sub-categories » in the rule. Then a rule for «
Shoes » also applies to « Shoes > Women », « Shoes > Men » and all deeper levels.
If a sub-category has its own rule, both are combined; for an attribute set in both,
the rule of the closer category wins.

### Why don’t my existing products get the attributes automatically?

Attributes are assigned automatically only when a product is first created, so the
plugin never changes existing products on its own. Use the « Assign presets to all
products » button or the « Assign » button on a single product.

### Are existing attribute values overwritten?

No. Neither the automatic assignment nor the « Assign » buttons overwrite attribute
values that are already set.

### Does the plugin remove attributes?

No. Deleting a rule never removes attributes that were already written to your products.

### Does it create variations?

No. The plugin adds attributes to products. Values used for variations (e.g. the
sizes and colours of a variable product) are still set up by hand.

### Who can use the plugin?

By default administrators and shop managers. Administrators can change this per 
user role at the bottom of the settings page.

## Journal des modifications

#### 3.1

 * New: « Also apply to sub-categories » per rule – one rule for a whole category
   branch. Rules with this option are marked in the list of saved rules.
 * New: If several rules set the same attribute, the rule of the closest category
   wins.
 * Improved: « How to use » page with an explanation of what the plugin is for and
   a practical example.
 * Improved: Assigned attributes are now linked to their attribute ID, exactly like
   attributes added by hand.
 * Fix: The plugin menu is only registered for roles with the « See plugin » right,
   and the plugin is hidden in the plugins list for all other roles.
 * Fix: Translations are loaded from the plugin’s languages folder.
 * Fix: Uninstall also removes the permission settings.
 * Fix: Roles with the « manage_options » or « delete_users » capability no longer
   bypass the permission matrix. Only the administrator role (or a Super Admin on
   multisite) always has full access.
 * Fix: Saving a rule right after deleting another one on the same page no longer
   deletes the new rule again.
 * Removed: Unused code and styles from the former free/pro version.

#### 3.0

 * New: Role based permission matrix – decide per user role who may see the plugin,
   create or edit rules, delete rules, use the « Assign » button on a product and
   run the bulk assignment.
 * New: Roles without the « See plugin » right get no menu entry and no entry in
   the plugins list – for them the plugin looks as if it were not installed.
 * Security: Only real administrators (manage_options + administrator role, or Super
   Admin) can change the permissions. A shop role with manage_options can no longer
   grant itself more rights.
 * Security: Every action is checked again on the server side (saving, deleting,
   bulk assign, AJAX assign), not only hidden in the interface.
 * New: Filters for developers – autoatas_user_can, autoatas_permissions_capability,
   autoatas_permissions_require_administrator_role and autoatas_user_can_manage_permissions.
 * Improved: The capability setting of 2.2 is migrated into the new matrix automatically.
 * Improved: « How to use » page extended and all output escaped.
 * Improved: German and English translations updated.
 * Removed: Unused stylesheet style/banner.css.

#### 2.2

 * Improved: Attribute selection uses a grid layout with white cards and highlighted
   active attributes.
 * New: Column switcher (Auto / 1 / 2 / 3), remembered per browser.
 * New: The « Assign presets to all products » button can be restricted to a capability(
   default: install_plugins).

#### 2.1

 * Improved: The category select shows the full category hierarchy – sub-categories
   are indented below their parent category.
 * Improved: Each category name is followed by its slug in brackets, so categories
   with the same name can be told apart.
 * Improved: The full path is shown on hover and below the select after selection(
   e.g. « Shoes > Women »).
 * Improved: The saved rules table shows the full category path; categories that
   no longer exist are marked.

#### 2.0

 * The plugin is now completely free with no feature limits.
 * Attributes are assigned automatically only when a product is first created, so
   removed attributes no longer reappear.
 * Existing products are no longer modified automatically; use the manual or bulk
   assign buttons.
 * New: Manual « Assign » button in the product’s attribute section.
 * New: « Assign presets to all products » button.
 * New: English and German language packs.
 * New: « Support / Donate » button.
 * Security: Deleting a rule is protected with a nonce.
 * Now maintained by Norix IT Support & Webdesign e.U.
