Improved Attributes Controller (now built-in to v1.3.9)

[bunyip]

Mike,
first of all, I made an error in stating which file the function zen_hide_session_id() is in: it's in admin/functions/html_output.php, not general.php.
Anyway, I also did some checking: that function was introduced in v1.2.6, so you should be fine (I noted the error when running this new attributes controller on a 1.2.4 store).

For people still using v1.2.5 or earlier that want to use this improved attributes controller, you'll need to copy that function zen_hide_session_id() from a v1.2.6 or later copy of admin/includes/functions/html_output.php (it's the last function in the file) and paste it into your own admin/includes/functions/html_output.php

Yeaaah!

Working like a charm, now Thanks a lot for your help, its gonna save us a lot of time.

(I hope some day we could see something like that in the attributes in the catalog side.)

Cheers my friend,
Mike

So, now you've made us all extremely happy with this...how's the Reward Scheme coming along?

I take it you have nothing better to do than cater to our whims!

Doh! I spent last night upgrading to 1.3 purely for this mod. Mind you, I would have had to, at some point. Gonna be another long night tonight, too!

Now, you seem to know what you're doing. 48% of my gripe with Zen Cart was the attributes controller. You fixed that. Another 48% is having to move one product at a time. Is there any mod you could turn your skills to that would replace the "m" symbol with tickboxes, so I could tick 20 products and move them at once?

I really can't recommend this mod enough - this has turned Zen around for me.
I'm going to update my sig to reflect this!

Tell me about it - this extension has totally turned Zen around for me and made it viable once more. This isn't an add-in, this is a must-have!
