Change display options on multiple products

Question

I've been doing a lot of digging around to see if I could do this without using an extension without any luck.

Almost all of my products that have a product option live inside of 'container2' which is "Block after info column" but I want them to be in 'container1' which is "Product info column".

How do I change all of the products to be in "Product info column" without going through every single product or using an extension?

Answer 1

Create yourself a set-up script that builds a collection of all the products you want to change.

Then loop through these products and set options_container to the value container1.

foreach($productCollection as $product) {
     $product->setOptionsContainer('container1');
     $product->getResource->saveAttribute($product, 'options_container');
}

This should then save the value on all products in your collection.
