Simple feature request to have the Alternate SKU's appended to the select list / dropdown of an add to cart form. Maybe just a simple checkbox enable / disable on the attribute settings page in the store admin.

Reason: I have a bunch of attributes that are "generic" to the store like sizes (1" 1.5" 2" 2.5" etc.) and my sales guy has a hard time keeping up with which attribute is what for a product when people call in for an order. My two alternatives are to create a bunch of "specific" attributes for each and every use case product, or just create a field to house that information and have a tacky show of it on the page. (leaning toward the latter). However, it would be nice to just append the alternate sku that way the sales guy can ask the customer to hit the drop down and read off the SKU.

It seems like a pretty painless addition but I'll probably end up having someone code it for me if this thread doesn't go anywhere.

"Update product display based on customer selections" added in #1380772: Ajax-ify attribute option price selection should update the SKU as the attributes are changed, not sure if this actually works though.

#1872794: Pass $product to theme_uc_attribute_option() so price can be formatted on a per-product basis would also help you achieve this from a custom theme.

Note that the original request of appending the SKU to the option only makes sense if there is a single attribute on the product.

Is there any "easy" way to template.php theme this? I'm limited on what I can do in that area and looking at the API, the only theming options that can used are "option" and "price". I tried to do "adjustments" and "model" but never got it to work :-/

I hadn't thought about the multiple attributes. I can see where that might be a pain...
