Adding an ID to every product

[doktorwunder]

Hi,

I'd like to add a product ID field to products description but I'm don't know

how to do... I've been looking for a contribution but I'm not sure which one

would be accurate.

Anybody knows? :huh:

Thanks!!!

Try using the 'Model' field when you add items to your 'Catalog' in osC admin.

Yah, actually I already use that field for the year of products...

But I had the same idea and tried to add a product ID in the

same field. So I typed something like :

'Ref : LNGCRST001 - 1940's'

And when I checked in my catalog to see how it looked... I

was surprised to see that instead of 'Ref : LNGCRST001 - 1940's',

only 'Ref : - 1940's' was listed below the name of the product.

Weird, isn't it? Can you explain that?

That is strange.

 

How about using the "Manufacturers" field for the decade classification. Then just put a part number in the "model" field.

 

That would be the easier solution, but if you are already using the manufacturers filed then this contrib adds a field to a product:

Note also that the model field is defined in the database with a maximum length of around around 12 characters. You can increase that in your database.

Yah, that's just what I was thinking... I've just changed the max. lenght in my database

so that should be fine now.

Thanks a lot :)
