Quick Updates plugin [support]

[matty104]

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.

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.

I have a proberlm lol
Ok I installed it no worries there all seems to be working
BUT yes there is always a ######## lol
When I go to Catalog
Then
Quick Updates
All cool there
Then I
Select category
But no products show up
What am I doing wrong please
Its frustrating me like hell lol

[enchantedneedle]

I'm really not trying to sound condescending, but are you certain that the category you are selecting is associated with products?
Are any of the products showing up if you don't select a category? They should be. All of the products should be showing if you are in the top category. If not then you are not getting communication with the db. Which means you probably haven't installed the sql file correctly.
