\ when I enter information in product update if I

[casperess52]

ok, I have contribution, Extra Fields, and when I enter a number with an inches sign (") it comes up \". I have also tried the html code for " and it still does it. What page do I need to look at to fix this, and/or what is it. Any help appreciated

Give us a link to the contribution...looks like a simple strip_slashes() will do the trick here.

[casperess52]

what php page you want? categories.php?

 

It is product extra fields contribution......It is when I enter " in the new fields......

[Guest]

A link to where you downloaded the contribution please...so I can download and look through it. I'm not familiar with the contribution but can probably pinpoint the problem within a few minutes of opening the archive.

product extra fields

[Guest]

Try this -> in catalog/product_info.php find this code:

  while ($extra_fields = tep_db_fetch_array($extra_fields_query)) {
       echo '<b>'.$extra_fields['name'].': </b>';
       echo $extra_fields['value'].'<BR>'; 
 }

And change it to this:

  while ($extra_fields = tep_db_fetch_array($extra_fields_query)) {
       echo '<b>'.stripslashes($extra_fields['name']).': </b>';
       echo $extra_fields['value'].'<BR>'; 
 }

Tell me how it works. BTW, I assumed you were talking about the customer presentation and not something on the admin side...

I get this parse error

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/vintagec/public_html/ecommerce/os/catalog/product_info.php on line 187

 

 

When I enter the info in admin side and hit preview it shows in preview, so prob in admin side right?

[Guest]

Admin side is a minor bug...customer presentation is more important.

 

That should not be throwing a parse error...hhmmm

 

Try this:

while ($extra_fields = tep_db_fetch_array($extra_fields_query)) {
$extra_fields['name'] = stripslashes($extra_fields['name']);       
echo '<b>'.$extra_fields['name'].': </b>';
echo $extra_fields['value'].'<BR>';
}

[casperess52]

nope, still doing it,

 

here is my page I only put in one on the top line of measurements

 

My Webpage

 

I agree with admin being a bug, I can handle that, but I want my presentation nice!

 

Thanks

Looks like you have a NULL data value at the bottom...there's your parse error. Remove the NULL data pair and try the code again. Use this code:

while ($extra_fields = tep_db_fetch_array($extra_fields_query)) {
      echo '<b>'.stripslashes($extra_fields['name']).': </b>';
      echo stripslashes($extra_fields['value']).'<BR>';
}

[Guest]

Here's what I mean by NULL value:

Chest/Bust: 38\" <-- Needs to be stripped of the slash
Waist: 48
Hips: 54
Overall Length: 39
Designer: Pandora Lingerie
Approx. Size: S-M
Fabric Content: Nylon/Chiffon
Condition: Excellent
: <== Here is your NULL value pair

Find the entry that is blank and delete it or populate it with data.

[Guest]

Also, it should be noted that if you use that code you will ALWAYS have to use a forward slash in your data pair. If you use a backward slash it will remove it automatically...

[casperess52]

I got it!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This is what I did.............

 

 

while ($extra_fields = tep_db_fetch_array($extra_fields_query)) {
$extra_fields['name'] = stripslashes($extra_fields['name']);       
echo '<b>'.$extra_fields['name'].': </b>';
echo stripslashes($extra_fields['value']).'<BR>';
}

 

 

 

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for getting me to the right area!

 

I appreciate the help!

BTW, did you happen to notice that both your TOP and CATALOG on the breadcrumb trail are pointing to osCommerce.com?

[casperess52]

No I hadn't noticed! Thanks for letting me know!

[Guest]

The settings are in your includes/configure.php file...

[casperess52]

got it fixed! do you think the site looks ok? still have a little tweaking to do, but for the most part I am done then I have to test it all out.

[Guest]

Just a few more tweaks and you'll be where you want to be...site has a nice, clean layout.

 

Good luck in making lots of money! :)
