Auction Site Attributes - released

[numinix]

This thread will be used to announce the releases of updates to Auction Site Attributes.

Auction Site Attributes is an add-on to my product listing exporters that allows additional product attributes to be stored in the database for export into various feed files. A complete description of the add-on and the attributes that it supports can be found in the readme.txt file.

v1.03 AUCTION SITE ATTRIBUTES

1. Added additional attributes: condition, general category, keywords, phrases, dimensions, and weight;
2. Fully integrated UPC/ISBN module;
3. Support music and free shipping product types;

Thank you so much for this release. I just want to clarify that although readme said 2 core files are affected, the following five files are actually affected:

\admin\includes\modules\update_product.php
\admin\includes\modules\product\collect_info.php
\admin\includes\modules\product_free_shipping\collect_info.php
\admin\includes\modules\product_music\collect_info.php
\admin\includes\modules\product_music\update_product.php

Also, is there any of your mod that still uses the updated file from upc/isbn

\admin\includes\languages\english\products.php

Does epier still uses the above file or can that file be replaced with the standard zen cart file?

How does all these changes affect Quick Updates?

Thanks!

Quick Updates doesn't use any of these files. It simply access the same database fields. Thank you for listing the core files that are modified by this module. I will correct this for future releases.

I believe you can overwrite that file as none of my mod's use it. I may have accidentally included it with a release as I originally assumed it was part of updating products.

Is there away to set default value for
Weight Unit
Dimension Unit
Dimension length, height, width

It would be a lot easier than having to click radio button for 25,000+ products to indicate weight unit = lbs or dimension = in etc.

Also since installing this mod the product edit page is all messed up. I suspect it has something to do with the width of the "Product Phrases" field. The screen is too wide. If I remove this mod, everything works fine again as far as the screen layout.

Thanks!

I am not even sure if this is reasonable or not but it would be nice to be able to assign a category id to a zen cart category and have that copied to all product instead of entering the same category id for each product.

For example music - rock category will have 1,000s of product under it that will have the same category id and store id on eBay.

Music-gospel will have 1,000s of product under it that will have same category id and store id on eBay.

It would be nice to do two entries to enter the category rather than 1,000s of entry for duplicate information.

Thanks!

The problem with the screen being over-extended is related to this code:

<tr bgcolor="#DDEACC">
            <td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_PRODUCTS_PHRASES; ?></td>
            <td class="main" colspan="2"><?php echo zen_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '24', '15') . '&nbsp;' . zen_draw_input_field('products_phrases', $pInfo->products_phrases, 'size="500"'); ?></td>
          </tr>

I adjusted this to 125 and that works for me.

Once I update Quick Updates, you'll be able to add the category id's to each product very quickly.
