Guest Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 Hi all! Ok, i am very new to this and i have a friend that knows a bit about PHP etc.. But i think i have exhausted his knowledge already! I have a record store for DJ's that sells vinyl. What i am trying to do is have a short description truncated in the product listing as well as the new products page. In this short description i want to put a link which is for a Real Audio file so that the customer can prelisten to the vinyl before purchasing. I know i can do this already in the full product description but i want it to display in the product listing where it shows all the products instock for that particular category (lets see what we have here?) rather than the customer having to navigate forward and backwards thru each full product description. (Am i making any sense yet?) Ok, so thats part one, In each category i have two sub-categories, one called "new this week" and the other called "All-instock". Each week i want to move the products from last weeks "New this week" into "all-instock" to make room for new records i recieve that week! I am looking at using Easy populate to do this but have read in the instructions that if i make any changes to "Products_description" or other category related tables it will not work? I will be adding around 100-300 new vinyls per week and doing it all manually as well as moving stock from catagories is rather a daunting task! Will Easy populate work with having a truncated short description? Does anyone know if what i am asking is at all possible? I have tried searching the forum but have not found an answer yet! Does anyone have some sort of direction i can take to make this all work? I am using Oscomerce 2.2 Thank you to anyone who can help! Amron [email protected] Quote
Guest Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 Rather than having a separate category for new products, why not just use the 'what's new'? You could probaly modify it to work with subcategories if you especially wnted it like that. Have a look in the contributions section for different ways of handling new products. Quote
