Frustration, too much

[bstone]

Does anyone know of a contribution or something that will allow me to see more then just my products names in the admin section? I have about 5000 products and many of them with the same name but different year or manufacturer. I would love to be able to see the model and manufacturer fields as well. That way I can find individual products quickly if I need to modify it.

 

thanks

I'd use this. it will show model and Manufacturer - also sorts.

 

Works great for me.

 

I think this is the contribution. Quick Updates

 

But there are several in the contribution section and it has been a while.

 

Good luck.

I can't figure out what to do with this part (below)... I did the rest just fine, I think. The only problem is that it doesn't look like it does below?

Now, if you want configure what you will be able to modify in Quick Updates, updates your database with that :

You need to run the SQL query in PHPMyAdmin or similar to update the database, or it will never work. Ask your provider where to log in, Or have him run this statement on your database.

 

That will create the added data fields for the contribution to work.

 

Good luck
