Givver Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 I would like to use the product_id field to store the upc codes for my products. But when I am entering or updateing the item it dosen't allow me to enter the products_id. Does anyone know how to edit categories.php in the admin to allow me to do this. I have tried changeing it myself but I can't figure out. Right now I have to enter a product and go to phpmyadmin to edit the products_id in three places. It is a pain that way.

Ajeh Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 The products_id code is a unique field for internal database association between the various tables. You do not want to use this for other things. Add a new field to be safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugitty Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Any reason you couldn't use the products_model field for your UPC? ... if you want to REALLY see something that doesn't set up right out of the box without some tweaking, try being a Foster Parent!

Givver Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 That is a very good idea. I will give it a try. Right now my database was imported from another program and all my products_id fields are my sku numbers. Is there an easy way to copy the contents of products_id to products_model?
