Extra product field contribution

[Nathali]

Hi,

 

Could I use extra product field and hide "the extra product field" from the public side of oscommerce? I need to use it only in the admin side of OSC.

 

What parts of the installation I will have to skip over?

 

Thanks for the attention,

I guess, everything that "dispays" this field on product info, product listing etc on the catalog side.

 

You also don't need all the query modifications that are getting the extra field info into those pages

 

So in real I would install just the admin side.

Hello george,

 

Thank you very much for your reply..

If I understand good, that means:

 

modification only to: XXXX/admin/xxxxx files..

 

for example, NOT TO catalog/includes/functions/general.php

BUT YES TO catalog/admin/includes/functions/general.php

 

and so on...

 

Sorry for my silly illustration. :)

 

Thanks a lot George for your kind help !

 

Best Regards,

Nathali

Well, I'm not sure, I think so. I would do the admin part first and check then. For sure you don't need to add anything to product_info.php etc

 

If you need just some extra editable product fields in admin, then maybe this addon is a too much. Why don't you take a look at something like this. This addon creates field for vendors (phone fax etc) just on the admin side, but you can rename and adjust everything to your needs

 

Just an idea
