Custom Product Listing?

[ElBasha]

Hello there,
I have been trying to figure this out for ages now. I need to have other bulletin in the item page other than the Manufacture, weight, model, etc. I need to have other ones that would say, Condition, and some other things. How would I do that? I need it so that this physical condition would show with the picture as the people are searching through my site.

Thanks.

Sounds like you need to make a custom product type .... check out this threads:

Well, that is talking about adding more product sections. I need it where as I list a new product, I would be asked more questions such as..

Physical Condition: and there is a box I enter what I want.

Warranty: same.

LIke there are others such as

Model:

Weight:

In order to have more product sections, you need a custom product type.

Thanks, I was in the 2nd link you gave me before But I cant figure out what do they mean with Step 2:

db manipulation
open the table "products" in your zencart-database and insert new rows at the end of the table called "products_guarantee" and "products_color"
ALTER TABLE `zencart_products` ADD `products_guarantee` INT NOT NULL , ADD `products_color` VARCHAR( 32 ) NOT NULL;


It doesn't say anything that I understand. I did the rest of the steps and ignored this one but then I started getting errors.

Yeah, you can't skip any steps... and you really need to do them in order.

That's SQL talk there. How do you access your database? Do you have phpmyadmin installed on your server?

well, I could go to mysql.mysite.com. and do everything from there.

Ok, good.

Let's take it one step at a time.

open the table "products" in your zencart-database and insert new rows at the end of the table called "products_guarantee" and "products_color"

Open your database. Open the table called "products". Insert two new rows. Call them 'products_guarantee' and 'products_color' (or whatever it is you are needing to add as extra fields).

Got that?

When I do that, I get that menu that asks me what to put, like the ALTER TABLE `zencart_products` ADD `products_guarantee` INT NOT NULL , ADD `products_color` VARCHAR( 32 ) NOT NULL;

I need to fill them in those blank bar. But I don't understand it.

[brandtim]

List the fields you have to fill in that bar and I'll tell you what to put in each of them.
