How To Add New Product Fields?

[autoace]

it won't break it, it simply ignores any fields that are not defined in the easypopulate.php file located under admin/includes.
to define these additional/custom fields, you could simply do a search for a similar type field in the aforementioned file, and then add the extra code (where relevant) after you've added your database fields of course. you need to ue a bit of common sense, but it worked for me making all the changes required (to easypopulate) in under 10min.

Thanks. Good to know that it is possible to do that. Working on a different project right now, however, have to put this on the side for now. Will post results here, thanks again

Can someone answer these questions for me?


After creating the new database, is it necessary to populate it with all of the product ids. It seems to me that the code will not work if the ids are not in the new table.

What is the easiest way to insert all of the ids into the new table. I have about 1200 products already in my database.

thanks

Hi lndlyb4,

Good question. You are correct that if you are not working on a fresh install and so already have products created then you will need to create a record in your new table for each product and also insert whatever default value you wish to use for your additional field. Otherwise when you try to edit a product, your changes to the new field will not be saved as the record does not exist to edit!

This is very easy to do assuming you have some basic knowledge of and access to phpmyadmin.


1. Firstly open phpmyadmin and select your zen database.

2. Then select the SQL tab from the top of the screen to display a box to enter the following sql (note the database and field names are based on my original example):

INSERT products_extra_stuff (products_id, products_colour)
SELECT products_id, 'YOUR_DEFAULT_VALUE_HERE' FROM products

3. Note also that you can just leave the default value as '' rather than enter something if you prefer.


Let me know if that works for you.

I change all, included deleted,
in my case, the products has a "real code" ( as I know, the code of the producto is not defined in a regular fields......is it correct ?).

Anyway, my products has code, the name of the field is product_code...

I need to show this code in all the process

When the user see in a list, and when click in one of them.

Hola buitrago,

Yo puedo hablar un poco de español si ayuda.

Ya hay un 'field' (campo?) para "products model" en la parte inferior de la página para agregar / editar los productos. ¿Puedes usar esto?

[buitrago]

No, webeo, thaks for u'r spanish.
Model es MODELO, caracteristica qeu provee el fabricante.
Codigo es el ID por el cual las tiendas clasifican su producto.

Ya logre incluirlo, ahora necesito visualizarlo. En la Admin, sale, lo edito, pero no lo logro visualizar.
Tal vez si alguien me especifica donde encontrar los archivos donde se visualiza.
---------------------------------------------------------------
No
"model field" is a self field of product, provided by the "marc". For example
PC : HP.
Model: XP-001

In this case, the "CODE" is a ID using only in a store.

Regards and gracias por tu español.
