Quick Updates

Could it be that the sql file is attempting to put a configuration_group_id at a high count when the id is actually auto-generated.

Looks to me like the sql wants to install "300" when the next id is 28.

[Merlinpa1969]

the configuration number doesn't matter as long as 300 isnt being used by anything else.

as for Globals yes this module requires globals ON,
however if you do a little research the globals on isnt the massive evil that some try to make it out to be.

Of course, you are correct. I have gone through the loading of this module twice and cannot get a single product to appear.

Had no problem either time loading files or sql

system shows cat photo but no products

Hi Everyone

After reading the forum on Quick Update, I installed on the local cart v1.3.01. Everything seemed to be fine. After trying a few items, then I found all the product description were trimed off when the first line ended with </ul> or a break. Can't understand why. A sample of the description as below for ref.

Before install Quick update
" <ul><b><font color=blue>Free batteries and soft pouch.</font></b></ul>
Precision machined from Aluminium alloy and anodised, this torch gives a robust and long lasting shiny finish. The press button on the body provides a firm control.<br /> "

After quick update
<ul><b><font color=blue>Free batteries and soft pouch.</font></b></ul>
The rest was deleted.

Wonder if anyone had similar problem and any if any idea to help?
It will make the mod perfect.

Cheers

How can I add an additional small row to mass update "featured products" as radio button to select YES/NO ? (like active YES/NO status)

Adding one by one takes to much time..

Hallo,

i was just testing the quick updates and discovered some serious problems.

quick updates might use wrong number format when writing to the database. This occurs when you use a different/additional(?) currency-format.

i better give an example:
If you have a price of "1.20" and you want to add +1 you might get something like "2,20" (note: "." changed to ",").

As you can see, that seems to be a quick method to screw up your whole database with one click

After a first quick look at the code i noticed some more issues like the numbers are not quoted in sql-statements and the contrib doesn't use the zen db-layer (i don't know why).

Well, great idea for a contrib but still too dangerous for (productive) use.

The above affects "Quick Updates v1.3"

ciao

Has anyone gotten this to work without experiencing the issues described in the above posts? I also experiences issues with descriptions been cut off.

Hi again:
Could it be that the file within the zipped mod includes/extra_datafiles/qucik_updates_filenames.php should be
quick_updates_filenames.php?

And a question I did above:
How can I add an additional small row to mass update "featured products" as radio button to select YES/NO ? (like active YES/NO status)

I would appriciate your help

Hi again:

quick_updates_filenames.php?

whoa. I don't even have that folder in the zipped mod. Under New Install I have admin and that's it. No Includes folder outside of admin. I just download the mod from zenportali. Do I have the wrong stuff again???

[ladysaat]

Well I fixed the name of that file under admin-includes-extra_datafiles.


Still though cannot get the SQL patch to go through successfully either with the tool or by C&Ping it. This is the second cart I've had that problem with. The first cart, Portali helped me install it, but I have no idea what he did. I thought maybe with a clean install of the newest zencart I could get it to go but nope
