New Fields in Product


Salvo

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Just a small question.

If I wanted to add 2 more fields to the product table and be able to

enter/modify/display like for example "model field".

What do I need to do?

 

is it a long and laborious hack or a strait forward one?

 

Thanks

Its straight forward if you know what your doing ;)

 

Just take the model field as an example and you will see how easy it is :)

Thanks Sparky,

 

I will try over the Week End. But to make sure can you please confirm what I will be doing and add what esle I need to to?

 

1 - using phpmyadmin I will add the field needed.

2 - in product_info.php I will add the part to retrieve like the "model"

3 - here I think its the category.php where I will need to add the part to save info into new field. can you confirm this?

 

4 - add the the language part...

 

Is anything else I need to do?

 

I would appreciate if you could direct me on this.

 

Thank you

Hi all,

 

I tied but I got lost...

 

can someone help in doing this please?

 

maybe some other users will like the idea. I have to need of this otherwise I have to enter all this info to the product description and it time consuming. pruduct location address, tel, etc etc.

 

I have a table called "location" with about 12 fields. the table doesn't have to be in all the languages, just one will do so.

 

option 1

I add the 12 fields to the product table like ad example "model"

option 2

have this table and realted to the product by ID.

 

Adding the fields to the product table is not the problem, creating the location table it is not the problem...

 

My problem is the categories.php and product_info.php :-(

 

Thanks all
