More Ep File Layout Editing....

[Guest]

Alright, so I got my custom form almost created through EP. I have about 12 columns that I need up there. But I also have WAYYYY too many colums devoted simply to Attributes, which as of yet, I don't even use. I have been going through the code and I know where the attributes section is, but I don't know what to do with it.

 

1. I would like to cut out the attributes entirely at the moment. I really don't need to send a file with hundreds of cells of empty space!

 

or (and posisbly the better idea)

 

2. Cut down the amount of attributes used to maybe one or two in case I decide to use them later. This would be nice, since that way I could make it work myself when I needed more attributes. The only thing that I can't figure out about this all though, is why am I getting so many attribute colums? I can't seem to find where exactly it gets the number of attributes from and I am pretty sure I never told it to have any.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Here is the area that deals with adding the attributes to the custom layout. if I need to work elsewhere in the code, tell me. The file is easypopulate.php found in the latest version of EP.

 

// VJ product attributes begin
case 'attrib':
	$iii = 0;
	$filelayout = array(
		'v_products_model'		=> $iii++
		);

   $header_array = array();

	$languages = tep_get_languages();

   global $attribute_options_array;

   $attribute_options_count = 1;
   foreach ($attribute_options_array as $attribute_options_values) {
		$key1 = 'v_attribute_options_id_' . $attribute_options_count;
		$header_array[$key1] = $iii++;

		for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($languages); $i<$n; $i++) {
			$l_id = $languages[$i]['id'];

			$key2 = 'v_attribute_options_name_' . $attribute_options_count . '_' . $l_id;
			$header_array[$key2] = $iii++;
		}

		$attribute_values_query = "select products_options_values_id  from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_VALUES_TO_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . " where products_options_id = '" . (int)$attribute_options_values['products_options_id'] . "' order by products_options_values_id";

		$attribute_values_values = tep_db_query($attribute_values_query);

		$attribute_values_count = 1;
		while ($attribute_values = tep_db_fetch_array($attribute_values_values)) {
			$key3 = 'v_attribute_values_id_' . $attribute_options_count . '_' . $attribute_values_count;
			$header_array[$key3] = $iii++;

			$key4 = 'v_attribute_values_price_' . $attribute_options_count . '_' . $attribute_values_count;
			$header_array[$key4] = $iii++;

			for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($languages); $i<$n; $i++) {
				$l_id = $languages[$i]['id'];

				$key5 = 'v_attribute_values_name_' . $attribute_options_count . '_' . $attribute_values_count . '_' . $l_id;
				$header_array[$key5] = $iii++;
			}

			$attribute_values_count++;
		}

		$attribute_options_count++;
   }

   $filelayout = array_merge($filelayout, $header_array);

	$filelayout_sql = "SELECT
		p.products_id as v_products_id,
		p.products_model as v_products_model
		FROM
		".TABLE_PRODUCTS." as p
		";

	break;
// VJ product attributes end
}
$filelayout_count = count($filelayout);
