Hello Branko,
Nice posting there but I want to do something different in the Magento. I want to add a different entity attribute sets for administrator users in magento database. i.e. I am creating different user groups for administrators say seller. Seller are required to register through the front end and then are able to add their own products but are restricted to create categories. i.e. they are given access to backend after registration for adding products and other limited access privilege. And they are allowed to setup their own profile page like http://domainName.com/newSeller. So I want to be able to add different entity sets for administrator users. Any idea will be greatly appreciated. Looking forward for your response. Thanks.

Sorry to re-post. I found why the new property didn't appear. It was a syntax problem. Please, forget my previous post.

So, my problem is, now, that I can add a property to an order but I can't add one to shipment. The install (mysql) file doesn't add the line in the database concerning the shipment, even if shipment is part of eav_entity_type ans has a code.

I changed it directly in the database but do you know why it doesn't create a new property for shipment ? In order to do it cleaner...

Thanks

Hi,
Your explanation on how to add properties to magento entities was very useful, for me. I found my new properties in the database, including the _catalog_product one.
Unfortunately, I was hoping the new property would appear in the Order object when I use the api, with sales_order.info service. But it doesn't.
What can I do to get it in my Order object retrieved from the API ?

Thanks in advance,

Good Job. I have a quick question. I'm trying to extend Virtual Product type. What would be the best approach for this? I want a lightweight version of catalog_product without all the unnecessary attributes. I basically just want a name,sku, and price to be able to add it to the shopping cart.
