Hmmm..... that expensive dinner sounds nice :-D

For now i am still working on the formentioned categories bug though, I really need to have this fixed (for my own usage).

So when using the current (or older) version: please be carefull with editting multi linked products! (linked to multiple categories) And better do not use it to edit the categories. I think I have solved this problem today/night, but I need to clean up, add some texts and do some more testing before I can upload it).

my eternal love meanes nothing to you? i guess it's true... the way to a mans heart is through his stomach!

Well...get workin'! Come on! We need you! (j.k. - your work is GREATLY appreciated by the masses here)

One more thing though (as if you didn't have enough on your plate already) is that I can't get the page to move to the next page when using the drop-down menu on the bottom. A previous closed thread mentioned turning register globals on, which they are, so any thoughts?

Okay, I figured out how to edit the wholesale prices in phpMyAdmin to hold me over until this is a part of Quick Updates. It's not as fast as Quick Updates would handle it, but faster then editing each product separately.

This is my first time touching the database like this. Scary and exhilarating all at once! I deserve a slice of pie now! :cool:

Better turn register globals off again, unless you have to have to on for other reasons. Off is better for security! (if the code is free of errors/flaws it should not make any difference, but .......)

I tried, and noticed the problem (caused by me I suppose, oops ), an easy fix is to change this (assuming you're using the latest version posted in this thread):

Code:

---

if(isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] != '')
  $page = (int)$_GET['page'];

---

To:

Code:

---

if(isset($_REQUEST['page']) && $_REQUEST['page'] != '')
  $page = (int)$_REQUEST['page'];

---

(that way both the page links, as the $_POST page switch are supported)


:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: on the love/stomach talk.

I can't promise anything about the feature requests, I would love (love again? :-) ) to do it all, but time is limited and I *really* need to get some other things done first. (and I am afraid I am a slow coder ;-) )

I can't remember exactly why, but it was turned on for a reason when I first started tweaking my cart. Too many instances of editing files and now I can't remember why.

It's okay, I fixed all 1150 of my products through phpMyAdmin. I got lucky because I've never been in there before and I found out where to edit. I probably couldn't find it again, it was pure luck! It took a few hours and my hand is killing me, but it would've taken FOREVER to edit in the admin. I knew you were busy and I really needed to have all of my products have wholesale prices (i just landed a wholesale customer :smile: ) right away. If only I had known these things from the beginning of my Zen adventure.

paulm + espresso = faster coding! that's why it's 3 a.m. and I'm still awake. :shocking:

:-) That's quite normal for me, still being awake at times like that.

Actually I am not sure what wholesale prices are :blush: I have added purchase prices (=the prices I have to pay to my wholesaler (?)) to my shop and the quick updates module. But I think your are talking about you being a wholesaler yourself, and you offer different prices for your resellers?

I reconsidered, and decided to add the wholesale price after all. It costed only very little extra time since I was updating anyway. It's *totally* untested though!!!

Now I only need someone that wants to test my new version *extensively*. Do lots of updates, and copying products and such. Using a test database of course! ;-)

Anyone?

Attached new version to this post. It includes the wholesales price column (as said untested!), and default it's switched off. To enable it edit admin\includes\extra_configures\quick_updates.php and change:

Code:

---

define('QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_WHOLESALE_PRICE', 'false');

---

to

Code:

---

define('QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_WHOLESALE_PRICE', 'true');

---

Don't forget to backup your database, and try this version on a testshop first. Feedback welcome!!

Advised browser: Firefox (IE will work, but has some issues with css :hover features)
