INSERT INTO product_types  (type_name, type_handler, type_master_type, allow_add_to_cart) VALUES
("Product - Mobile Phone", "product_mobile", 1, "y");

INSERT INTO `product_type_layout` (`configuration_title`, `configuration_key`, `configuration_value`, `configuration_description`, `product_type_id`, `set_function`) VALUES
('Show Model Number', 'SHOW_PRODUCT_MOBILE_INFO_MODEL', '1', 'Display Model Number on Product Info 0= off 1= on', 6, 'zen_cfg_select_drop_down(array(array(''id''=>''1'', ''text''=>''True''), array(''id''=>''0'', ''text''=>''False'')), ');

Did you make a file:
/admin/product_mobile.php

each Product Type has its own main file ...

@Ajeh
thank you man u the king

[davico]

all almost done but i have few problems in catalog side its not showing the information
in file \includes\templates\template_default\templates\tpl_product_mobile_info_display

the information will show only if i change this:

$flag_show_product_mobile_info_network == 1
to
$flag_show_product_mobile_info_network = 1

in table product_type_layout

i have the key:

('Show Mobile Network', 'SHOW_PRODUCT_MOBILE_INFO_NETWORK', '1', 'Display Mobile Network on Product Info 0= off 1= on', 6, 6, NULL, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_drop_down(array(array(''id''=>''1'',''text''=>''True''),array('' id''=>''0'',''text''=>''False''))')

my guess the problem is in file:
includes\modules\pages\product_mobile_info\main_template_vars

$$flag_show_product_mobile_info_network = zen_get_show_product_switch($_GET['products_id'], 'mobile_network');

where the mobile_network is it should be same as one of the define files or some other file or var or something?


can someone help me figure it up?

[davico]

ok i answer myself

i got one extra $ in
$$flag_show_product_mobile_info_network

and yes the mobile_network is the var from :

main_template_vars_product_type
