    Default Add New Product Attributes/Fields

    Our product is Book. we need to store more attributes for a BOOK than what currently exists in Product Editor page in Aspdotnetstorefront Admin section, such as :

    Author
    Height
    Series
    Number of Pages
    ISBN
    Publication Date

    We then need to be IMPORT Books from data files and store book information (eg: name, category, ...) and populate not only the existing fields/attribute for BOOK entity but also for the newly added fields that we are hoping to ADD to the Product editor page.

    Would you please provide me with instructions on how we can add additional fields to product details page.

    Thank you,
    Ladan

    This might do the trick

    Instead of using .html for file extension use .htm.

    No. this is not what I am looking for. I would like to add an actual field and then import data to that field.

    Default Other fields

    Other fields require programming. Not hardfor those who know.
    Alternative is using XML in the extension data field.

    Yep. If you aren't opposed to working with XML, using XML in extension data is the way to go, as it will prevent you from having to do all kinds of core modifications to admin pages, import routines, etc. which would have to be migrated on every upgrade.
