This at least gets the exisitng product title and description into a book type format.

Will it work with Google base feeder? Easy populate?

Since I already have books loaded as product - general, Do I have to go back and change to book type?

I don't know, as I haven't tried it with these mods yet. Perhaps someone else who has been using it a while can advise how they set up their store with this mod.

You will have to insert products as product-book if you want the additional book related fields to show up. As far as I know, there is no easy way of mass migrating existing general products to the book type other than what I mentioned in the earlier post i.e. via the database.

You cannot easily change the product type via the Admin interface.

IF you can upload products via easy populate then this may be simpler, but I don't know if it is possible using easy populate.

Hi again,

I'm trying to develop a multilingual book site. I hope you don't mind a multilanguage question?

I need to get the mutlibox search working in various languages. I posted this question and still no help.

Can you you let me know which files need to be modded in subsequent languages? (FR, ES, Pt, NL and some day Korean:unsure: )

Many thanks,

Rbryn

I just tried installing the Book Product Type to two systems, one local system using MAMP and it works just fine. The other was set up on a server and doesn't show anything, blank screen when I attempt to go to the admin to run the sql patch. Has anyone seen this happen before and know what I need to do to get it working.

I'm runing Zen-Cart 1.3.7 and I'm using bookshop template.

Solved ... thanks to hareslade.

I'm putting together a template for other language translators for the five or so files that need to be developed to support the products type books in other languages.

Any volunteers? French, Portuguese, Dutch, ?

:oops:
I found out what was happing, I was attempting to use the latest Book Product Type instead of an earlier version for Zen-Cart 1.3.7. When I used ZC1_3_7_EXTENDED_MOKU_BOOK_TYPE_JPH_V_2 everything work, so far.
:clap:

I'm using the version of Book Product Type for ZC 1.3.7 and I have noticed that in the All Products screen(?) the Publisher & ISBN text have not replaced Manufacture and Model. I'm sure that this has been fixed but I've not been able to find it in my searches. I'm very much a newbie to ZC so can someone please point me to where the fix is found.
