Attribute sorter help


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi,

First, if I've posted this in the wrong forum or it has been answered before, apologies.

 

Just added the attribute sorter/copier to my cart. No error messages reported at all, but, theres always a but. I can find no change at all. So how do you use this addition.

 

Have checked all the areas in the admin bit and checked the 'Product Attributes' section, but nothing seems to be different.

 

Please Help, I really need the add-on to work, I have loads of attributes to attach.

 

On another topic, can I congratulatate everyone involved in creating Oscommerce, it has to be the best cart system I've tried. Its so easy to manouver around both catalog & admin sections. Also I would like to thank everyone that supplies help to the forums, without knowing it you have cured all my problems so far without me posting once, but can't find a solution to this one.

 

With any answers, please keep in mind that I am a beginner with sql, php and cart philosophies.

 

Many thanks in advance

Did you upload the files to your site? :shock:

 

You should see a lot of changes to the Categories/Products page.

 

If you edit an attribute on the products_attributes_.php page you should see a grey box.

 

Umm ... what version did you install?

 

And what snapshot are you running?

Thanks for replying

 

The version i used was the one in the contributions 'download' section

 

the version of oscommerce is 'tep_snapshot-20030115'

 

What I'm finding now is , if I delete an existing attribute (existed before the modification) I get :-

 

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/ideasun/public_html/admin/includes/languages/english.php:281) in /home/ideasun/public_html/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 18

 

I also get this error When I log on as a customer, there is no real panic on this as my little shop is not 'live' as yet

 

 

All files were uploaded as instructed, and database modifies as well

 

Regards

Hi,

 

Just had a look, both the 'catalog' and 'admin' files had blank lines at the bottom, which I just removed, no change though :(

 

One thing, in the text file it states:-

 

Add to the very bottom of:

 

Filename: /catalog/includes/languages/english.php

 

// WebMakers.com Added: Attributes Sorter

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . 'attributes_sorter.php');

 

For both catalog & admin

 

Which on my 1st attempt I did, below the ?>, errors were reported, so I moved them to above the ?>

 

Did I do wrong?

Hmmmm,

 

:oops: Know what the problem is/was , new all along it was me.

 

I, me, on my own with no help, FAILED to copy these over:-

 

/catalog/product_info.php

 

/admin/categories.php

/admin/products_attributes.php

/admin/includes/header.php

 

Please forgive my stupidity (breaking in a new brain for the village idiot, think I'll keep it, better than the one I'm using now).

 

Apologies for wasting your time. Your mod will speed things up so much

 

Regards

 

Len (the plank)

In the Attributes Sorter and Copier v5.1 with Weight there is a setting that sets the order of the attributes by name or price.

 

What this does is set the order to sort_order, products_name or sort_order_products_price

 

This allows you to use the sorter, the name only or the price only, or a combination of these together.

 

Example: set 3 attributes to sort order 10, 4 to sort order 20 and 2 to sort oder 30 and have the sort order by name

 

Now the 3 sets of sort orders are 10, 20, 30 and within them they are sorted alpha

Not a problem ... usually I try to remember to say at the very bottom just before the last ?>

 

Guess I goofed ... :shock:

 

Glad it's working for you now.

 

Hi Linda.

 

The error is still in your readme file. Just thought you would like to know so you can correct it.

 

Keep up the great work. Thanks for everything!

Just installed Linda's Attributesorter and am now getting the following:

1054 - Unknown column 'products_options_sort_order' in 'field list'

 

update products_attributes set products_id = '68', options_id = '1', options_values_id = '18', options_values_price = '10.0000', price_prefix = '+', products_options_sort_order = '2' where products_attributes_id = '157'

 

[TEP STOP]

 

Anyone?
