Quick Updates plugin [support]

[pstarling]

I have installed version Quick Update 2.05 and can see the 'Quick Updates' in configuration but can not see where to actually launch the software. There is no menu option in either 'Tools' or 'Extras'.

The installation process was error free.

Please could some one enlighten me as to where the mod is run from?

Thanks

Paul

As you can see below I don't have an entry in the catalog area!

Anyone got any ideas?

Then you need to reinstall because not all of the files transferred.

great program - installed just fine. Doesn't want to do a site wide update of prices - about 1000 products. I made sure all were checked - it only updated the first 8 items. Another site that I have with 200 products worked Ok. What am I missing. Thanks - I am using ver 2.05

I am trying to add a new column to the quick update UI and I am having a tough time understanding a few aspects of the file. When I view the live site I have name, description, price, price inc, all the fields but when i run it locally I only see the two fields name and price. All the other fields are not visible. Upon further review of the quick_updates.php I noticed some if statements that wrapped most of the fields in the view. For example::

if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_NEW_COLUMN_1 == 'true')
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('p.' . QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_NEW_COLUMN_1, TABLE_HEADING_NEW_COLUMN_1);
if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_NAME == true)
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('pd.products_name', TABLE_HEADING_PRODUCTS);
if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_DESCRIPTION == 'true')
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('pd.products_description', TABLE_HEADING_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION);
if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_MANUFACTURER == 'true')
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('m.manufacturers_name', TABLE_HEADING_MANUFACTURERS);
if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_STATUS == 'true')
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('p.products_status', TABLE_HEADING_STATUS);
if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_SORT_ORDER == 'true')
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('p.products_sort_order', TABLE_HEADING_SORT_ORDER);
if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_QUANTITY == 'true')
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('p.products_quantity', TABLE_HEADING_QUANTITY);


The problems is that most of those constants are not defined anywhere in the application. So of course they are always going to execute to false. My question is whether anyone has any knowledge of why these if statements are there and do they serve some purpose.

Looks like the sql file is not loaded. By loading the sql file the settings (constants) are added to the database, so that you can configure the setting in your Zen Cart admin panel.

Help! What have I done? (not actually expecting an answer to that one LOL)

I had this installed, worked perfect, beautifully in fact. I love everything about it. Then I had to uninstall another mod (FedEx) and this stops working. I have re-uploaded the files from version 2.03 -2.05 and restored the good backup copy of my database, ran the sql each time and the only thing i ever get is redirected to www.mysite.com/admin/index.php. No updates, no blank page, just kicks me back to start.

The one thing I didn't do was to delete this mod completely and then start over, but why should i? I did check that the files were overwriting. They are.
I have tried running the sql through phpMyadmin and the install sql patches area in the store admin. Nothing. I'm getting very frustrated. Hope someone can help me.
The only thing I can think of is maybe the "good" copy isn't so good? But why would it matter if the sql uninstalls itself before it installs again? Or does it?

I can see it all. I can play with it, pull down the boxes, write in the spaces, select the radio buttons, but when I click "Update", it doesn't.

Okay, I just found out that the copy feature does work. It will copy a product, but then you can't update it unless you go to the normal edit product page to do it.

I also found out there is a security vulnerability in the mod according to Web Developer Toolbar for FF.

[enchantedneedle]

I found the answer finally. I had to do with an incomplete security update. I had overwritten the html_output.php file with the non-security updated one, when un-installing one of the mods. I appreciate all the help and quick responses with my problem. Someone could have at least told me to look elsewhere if you didn't know the answer.
