Adding new categories for a product

[yespee]

Hello,

 

Please let me know how to add the additional fields for the products ( like Size, Display Size, etc.,).

Whether may I have to edit it via script (or) is there any option to do it via OSCommerce admin panel??

 

 

Thanks...

I am new to this myself....but !!!

 

As far as im concerned you should login to www.your_Site/admin

 

Then click catalog

 

Then you should see product attributes

 

Then you can add size....colour etc.............................Just have a play around !!!!

 

 

Goodluck

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply..

 

I've already saw and work with product attributes, but I didn't need like that one...

 

For example :

 

Am going to design a OSCommerce site for my mobile store..

 

I've to enter and display the below details for each mobile

 

Size: 110 x 49 x 19 mm

Weight: 116 g

Display Size: 240 x 320 pixels

etc.,

 

Since it wouldn't be changed for mobiles, it's constant for that particular model. But I can add the "color" field in product attributes..

 

So I want to know the fields for product can be created via OSCommerce admin panel (or) changes in script made in PHP files...

the only thing you can do via the current admin panel is set up product attributes - as already discussed. but if you want to know whether or not the new data fields can be added for your product - sure they can. but this is not a simple change. there may be more involved, but you can start with this:

 

first, you'd need to change your database to add the additional data fields. then, modify the code that adds/edits products to allow for entry of the new data fields. you'll probably want to include some data validation in this as well to ensure that your database will be consistent. finally, change all the product display code to include the new columns in the select statements and display the data. oh yes, you might want to add this to the invoice and packing slip code as well, so you know what to send to the customer. the account history page too, so the customer can see all of what they ordered. all this, and handling multiple languages. then do lots of testing.
