[Contribution] Extra Fields

[Anemic]

I tried to install Extra Fields. Everything seems fine but when I tried to add a field and press the "add field" button this comes up:

 

1054 - Unknown column 'languages_id' in 'field list'

insert into products_extra_fields (products_extra_fields_name, languages_id, products_extra_fields_order) values ('dfsdfsdf', '0', '')

[TEP STOP]

 

Seems lite a langugare error? I have Swedish and English languge, thats it.

 

THEN when I wan't to look at a produkt in the store this comes up:

 

1146 - Table 'ibanezshop_se.products_to_products_extra_fields' doesn't exist

SELECT pef.products_extra_fields_status as status, pef.products_extra_fields_name as name, ptf.products_extra_fields_value as value FROM products_extra_fields pef LEFT JOIN products_to_products_extra_fields ptf ON ptf.products_extra_fields_id=pef.products_extra_fields_id WHERE ptf.products_id=332 and ptf.products_extra_fields_value<>'' and (pef.languages_id='0' or pef.languages_id='4') ORDER BY products_extra_fields_order

[TEP STOP]

 

I tried this contrib on a fresh store but got the same table so I'm guessing I must be doing something wrong...I would really like for this to work, I would solve a handfull of problems for me so PLEASE, help me out!

[Producer32]

did you upload the sql file ?

If yes, you will need to open the file in insert the script as raw sql scripting using phpmyadmin.

 

This will still only fix the second part of your problem.

 

There is a universdal problem witht the contribution in advanced_search_result.php

[wkdwich]

I am not sure what my problem here is.. using the latest version extra_fields_v2_0i

The problem is when I view the product I can not see the extra fields..

 

 

I did a very careful install on an almost clean copy of osC.

Already installed: Bundled products

Page Editor

Unsold carts report

add multiple products per page (hummmmmm wonder if.....)

 

I did the SQL query and the DB's got updated properly

The link to control the extra fields is in the admin

I sucessfully added a field

I altered 2 items to add comment into the field

when updating the item in the admin I can see the field and the info attached to it

the lights next to the 2 extra fields are GREEN (on)

 

I went into phpMyAdmin and can see the tables and the proper info there..

Table: products_extra_fields

products_extra_fields_id products_extra_fields_name products_extra_fields_order products_extra_fields_status languages_id

1 HAZMAT 1 1 0

2 test field

 

Table: products_to_products_extra_fields

products_id products_extra_fields_id products_extra_fields_value

33 1 Flamable Item

33 2 second extra field

 

Any ideas????

I finally have this contributions working. Only when I duplicate a product in the admin, the extra fields from the original article aren't copied in the duplicated article.

 

Does anyone now how to do this?

[wkdwich]

Please, can someone help me here.. I have reworked this contribution several times now and everything is fine exceot I can not see the extra fields in the cart.. I see them in the admin, they are added to the DB properly but do not show up in the cart

Well I found something to help me here.. evidently this contrib is not compatible when you have the SE Friendly URLS set as TRUE.. so I have gotten the extra fields to show up now.... has anyone out there gotten around this?? Though I'm not sure if it will make any long term difference because the 2 product URLS are identical with it set to true or false

[umc]

I also have problems with product extra fields... The installation went fine, I got no errors, I added a test field, modified it's value for a keyboard, in the preview everything is fine. If I purchase the keyboard, in the confirmation email I see the field (I've done that optional step, to have extra fields written in emails), but I still can't see the information in the product information page... I used sts, but I temporarily uninstalled it (I had to do an upgrade anyway) because I thought there was a problem with some placeholders or smth, but even without STS, I can't see the extra fields... I've seen that at least 3 or 4 people wrote here about the same problem, but I haven't seen a solution... :(

 

If someone knows what the problem is, I'm sure a lot of user would apreaciate the solution, including me :)

 

Thanks in advanced for anyone who can provide a fix for this great contribution...

 

Best of luck

Question for folks who have this MOD runing fine: when you copy an item, dis you also noticed that the extra fields values are not duplicated to the new product? or did I miss something?

 

Thanks for you feedback

I noticed that the search is not working after I installed the product extra fields contribution. I get the following error in advanced_search_result.php:

1066 - Not unique table/alias: 'pd'

select count(distinct p.products_id) as total from (products p left join products_to_products_extra_fields p2pef on p.products_id=p2pef.products_id) left join manufacturers m on m.manufacturers_id=p.manufacturers_id, products_description pd left join specials s on p.products_id = s.products_id, categories c, products_to_categories p2c, products_description pd, categories c, products_to_categories p2c where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '1' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id and ((pd.products_name like '%test%' or p.products_model like '%test%' or m.manufacturers_name like '%test%' or p2pef.products_extra_fields_value like '%test%' or pd.products_description like '%test%') )

My line goes something like:

$from_str = "from (" . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_PRODUCTS_EXTRA_FIELDS . " p2pef on p.products_id=p2pef.products_id) left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m on m.manufacturers_id=p.manufacturers_id, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c";

instead of the old line

$from_str = "from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m using(manufacturers_id) left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id";

 

I know it's somewhere arround line 215, where the $from_str is build, but I can't figure out where I screw up... :(. If you have the search running fine, could you please show me the lines from the file ?

 

And the product extra fields still don't show up in the product_info page... No clues to that either ? I removed STS and HTC (for other purposes) and tested without them, and I still don't see the extra fields... :(

 

Thanks.

I've got mod installed and seems to be working fine. I've also got the Master/Slave mod set up.

 

My question is how do I keep a field from showing up in a table if it is empty?

 

An example can be seen at http://cbhotsy.com/code_devsoft/catalog/pr...&products_id=35

 

You'll see that I've got a column labeled Fuel. However, for this product I don't want it to show. But in other products I do want it to show up.

 

Thanks

[umc]

I must have been blind for not seing frost77's post earlier about the wrong querry... Now the search works fine... but I still can't see the extra fields in the product_info page... Nobody found an answer ? I can't disable SE Friendly URLS as wkdwich said, because I use Advanced SEO URLs and it won't work if I disable SE Friendly URLS. Since lot's of people are having the same problem I don't think there's something wrong with my store... (I hope ^_^).

 

Any tips or bits advice will be most welcome...

 

Best of luck.

I would like to know how to get this to work as well :D

Well I don't have it running perfect but I have changed it to add the extra fields when you dupe a product.

 

In admin/categories.php find**:

} elseif ($HTTP_POST_VARS['copy_as'] == 'duplicate') {
		$product_query = tep_db_query("select products_quantity, products_model, products_image, products_subimage1, products_subimage2, products_subimage3, products_subimage4, products_subimage5, products_subimage6, products_price, products_date_available, products_weight, products_tax_class_id, manufacturers_id from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " where products_id = '" . (int)$products_id . "'");
		$product = tep_db_fetch_array($product_query);

 

**Your $product_query may be different - I have extra images installed. You will be adding the following code beneath this $product = tep... line so first find the elseif then the $product = below the database query.

 

Add below:

// BOF: Extra fields to database on duplicate
		$xf_query = tep_db_query("select  products_id, products_extra_fields_id, products_extra_fields_value  from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_PRODUCTS_EXTRA_FIELDS . " where products_id = '" . (int)$products_id . "'");

		$xfield = tep_db_fetch_array($xf_query);
// EOF: Extra fields to database on duplicate

 

Next find:

$dup_products_id = tep_db_insert_id();

 

Add below:

		   tep_db_query("INSERT INTO " . products_to_products_extra_fields . " (products_id, products_extra_fields_id, products_extra_fields_value) VALUES ('" . (int)$dup_products_id . "', '" . tep_db_input($xfield['products_extra_fields_id']) . "', '" . tep_db_input($xfield['products_extra_fields_value']) . "')");
// EOF: Extra fields to database on duplicate

 

Now you should be able to duplicate a product with extra fields included. Works on my test site. What doesn't work has to do with searches. If I search alphabetical keywords the results are accurate for the text in extra fields but if I search using numbers and/or symbols such as 10 x 14 I get no results even though I have an extra field with that value. Would appreciate anyone's help with that!

 

Thanks,

Maureen

[Maureen]

Update on the search problem -- it is not what is typed as a keyword it is where the product item is located. If it is in top category it is not found; if I put it into a category it works. But... that seems to be the way my entire search is working not necessarily effects of this contribution.

[jay jay]

One other thing I noticed and was wondering if someone could help me out. When I do a search for an item in the extra fields it is fine.. but if i search for a model number it shows the same items 3 times??

[Clau123]

The code of Maureen was't working for me. It only copied one extra field, instead of the four I have.

 

I changed the code a little bit to:

 

// BOF: Extra fields to database on duplicate

$xf_query = tep_db_query("select products_id, products_extra_fields_id, products_extra_fields_value from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_PRODUCTS_EXTRA_FIELDS . " where products_id = '" . (int)$products_id . "'");

while($xfield = tep_db_fetch_array($xf_query)) {

 

tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_PRODUCTS_EXTRA_FIELDS . " (products_id, products_extra_fields_id, products_extra_fields_value) values ('" . (int)$dup_products_id . "', '" . tep_db_input($xfield['products_extra_fields_id']) . "', '" . tep_db_input($xfield['products_extra_fields_value']) . "')");

}

// EOF: Extra fields to database on duplicate

 

 

and added it all together after:

$dup_products_id = tep_db_insert_id();

 

Now all my extra fields are copied when I dupe them.

[Maureen]

Excellent pick-up and correction! Thanks... :)

hello,

 

i'm using my localhost ( using wamp )

HTTP Server: Apache/2.0.55 (Win32) PHP/5.1.2

PHP Version: 5.1.2 (Zend: 2.1.0)

Database: MySQL 5.0.18-nt

 

i just installed the extra_fields_v2_0i, and i found that the code <? echo .. must replace to <?php echo .. in admin/product_extra_fields.php. i'm a newbie- i found that problem, but dont know the reason why (some body explain to me ? )

 

the next problem that i can't solve when i add new field e.g : years :

it didn't showed in that page (admin/product_extra_fields.php) , but it was saved at database and show at product_info.php

everything work normally except it didn't show any field name at admin/product_extra_fields.php.

so it is not possible for me to update / delete the old field name that i have added.

 

i wish somebody can help me to solve this problem

thx, for reply

but i dont turn on the SE friendly URLs in my control panel, it's still false.

 

i'm confuse, may it be the problem about my apache,mysql, php setting ?

 

also if i click at the green icon ( normally at red icon ). it will show :

 

1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

Hi!

 

I just installed the PEF contrib on a fresh install of OSCMS2, Imported the SQL file and copied all the PEF files, but when I try to add a new Product Field this comes up:

 

 

1054 - Unknown column 'languages_id' in 'field list'

 

insert into products_extra_fields (products_extra_fields_name, languages_id, products_extra_fields_order) values ('dfsdfsdf', '0', '')

 

[TEP STOP]

 

 

Seems like there is some part of the SQL file that's missing and since I can't program I really don't know how to fix it. Is there anything else I need to do to make it work?

 

Please help me out! I really need this contrib to work...

[JoxWayne]

Hi,

I installed this contrib and it works fine. But there?s one thing I?m missing.

Is it possible to display the extra fileds when listing all articles of an categorie? I guess there must be a modification of the index.php, isn?t it?

 

can anybody help me with it?

double check that you have successfuly created the 2 follwing tables in your database by going to your phpMyAdmin:

 

the structure of your "products_extra_fields" table contains the fields:

 

products_extra_fields_id

products_extra_fields_name

languages_id

products_extra_fields_order

products_extra_fields_status

 

the structure of your "products_to_products_extra_fields" table contains the fields:

 

products_id

products_extra_fields_id

products_extra_fields_value

 

You must have done sonething wrong when injection teh SQL query when installing

 

hope this helps

Does anyone know how to get the extra fields as a drop-down on the search page? Say I have a extra field named size and on the search page I wanted a drop-down to be

 

select size

|- small

|- medium

|- large
