osC FireFox Conqueries

 

This contribution customizes your Firefox context-menu adding short-cuts for a number of frequent catalog maintenance tasks so that you can go straight into the admin for editing the items/page you are looking at from the catalog side.

 

This contribution makes use of the ConQuery Firefox extension in order to add a menu item to rightclick menu.

ConQuery allows you to take pieces from your current webpage and pass this as parameter to another website/webservice. So it has defined interfaces to query google, yahoo, ebay etc. There is an online repository with samples.

 

Known Issues

The handling of category paths is rudimentory. I hope someone better at regex can rationalize this code. (currently using similar cloned files for categories, subcategories and subSubCats ...)

 

This contribution relies on cPath and products_id variables in the url. If you use chemos SEO url's contribution, it just won't work.

This is really handy. Thank you.

 

I needed to modify the files slightly since I am using Chemo's ULTIMATE SEO contribution. If someone else needs these, here is the modification:

 

Change:

   showif="products_id=([0-9]+)"

 

To:

   showif="-p-([0-9]+)"

 

I also added this to all files:

 

<input name="mode" value="inplace">

 

This is to let admin side know that we are coming from catalog. For example on categories.php you could have redirect back to catalog side after editing category or product.

Thanks Matti.

 

Could you also post the code you used for the redirect ?

Sure. Note this is propably not compatible with normal installations as I have my shop set up very differently from the stock directory/url scheme.

 

This is on categories.php when inserting an new product, but the principle is the same for other pages/actions too.

 

First getting an hidden form field if URL variable "&mode=inplace" is set:

 

<?php if ($_GET['mode'] == 'inplace') { ?>
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="inplace" />
<?php } ?>

 

This needs to be repeated in the preview section

 

 if ($_POST['mode'] == 'inplace') {
 echo '<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="inplace" />';
}

 

Finally after everything is inserted to database, last in the case statement 'update_product':

 

Find

           tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&pID=' . $products_id));

 

Replace with:

 

if ($_POST['mode'] == 'inplace') {
          tep_redirect(HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER . 'product_info.php?products_id=' . $products_id);
} else {
          tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&pID=' . $products_id));
}
