problem with Products Attributes Sort Order v1.2

[lindy]

I used the Products Attributes Sort Order v1.2 to add a line into the products attributes section where sort orders could be defined for each attribute. I think I followed the instructions that came with it. As instructed, I added the new sort field into the sql; updated bits of the product_info and includes/functions/general.php files; and replaced my existing admin/products_attributes.php with the one included in the contribution.

 

Things went well with all attributes that were already entered on the site before I started. The change put the new fields in and added a 0 to the sort order for each attribute. I then updated the 0 to the values I wanted. Worked a charm. The values on the product pages were listed exactly in the order I had assigned.

 

Then I tried to add attributes to other products. I went through the same process as yesterday for adding attributes, and all seemed to be going as planned. However, when I checked the product pages, none of the new attributes were listed. When I looked back at the attributes page, all of the new attribute ID numbers were listed, but there was either no data in the other fields or there was a choice I knew I did not choose.

 

Any ideas as to why new data is not being stored correctly? Obviously something went wrong with the installation, but which part? Should I just undo everything I did, or is there a good place to start to try to fix it?

 

I'm so in over my head with this.

 

Could someone give me some guidance?

 

Thank you,

Linda
