using checkboxes in admin

[Guest]

has anybody figured out how to use checkboxes for options in the admin section instead of the "edit" button for orders and categories?

 

putting checkboxes in selection columns could drastically speed up the time spent in the admin section

Checkboxes for what exactly??

Do you mean, to select status so the products would be set to live or not.

I was just installing a contribution today that used this feature. A code like this was added to catalog/admin/categories.php and button images were added. Obviously this isnt complete and you'd need to modify it, and disclaimer I'm not a programmer. Dont make it - Just use it... I'd take a look at the admin install instructions for the contrib "Make an Offer"

 

Search For:
<td class="dataTableContent"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&pID=' . $products['products_id'] . '&action=new_product_preview&read=only') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_ICONS . 'preview.gif', ICON_PREVIEW) . '</a> ' . $products['products_name']; ?></td>
<td class="dataTableContent" align="center">


And Add Underneath:
<!-- Activate or deactivate the Make an Offer button -->
<?php
	  if ($products['products_make_an_offer'] == '1') {
	echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icon_status_green_mao.gif', IMAGE_ICON_STATUS_OFFER_DEACTIVATE, 10, 10) . '  <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'action=setflagoffer&flag=0&pID=' . $products['products_id'] . '&cPath=' . $cPath) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icon_status_red_light_mao.gif', IMAGE_ICON_STATUS_RED_LIGHT, 10, 10) . '</a>';
	  } else {
	echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'action=setflagoffer&flag=1&pID=' . $products['products_id'] . '&cPath=' . $cPath) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icon_status_green_light_mao.gif', IMAGE_ICON_STATUS_OFFER_ACTIVATE, 10, 10) . '</a>  ' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icon_status_red_mao.gif', IMAGE_ICON_STATUS_RED, 10, 10);
	  }
?></td>
<td class="dataTableContent" align="center">

Naegle, i don't follow? it just looks like it's adding images for make an offer there.

 

what i want to do is this:

move the "edit" button to where the arrow is pointing, so i don't have to click twice to get into an order.

 

use checkboxes for all selections and put a "go" button that will be activated for any order/category i have checked.

Ok, I follow now. The contibution I was installing added a button next to the "active" button to make a change to the product info. I assumed you wanted to do something similar.

 

I think you've got a great idea, but its out of my league. I'm a more of the "copy-paste-and-modify" type. You might want to ask someone else on this one. Good Luck :thumbsup:
