Quick Updates plugin [support]

[BlessIsaacola]

Can some one point me to the download link for Quick Updates 1.3? I can't find it.

Thanks!

Here is the link to the download: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=101

Please make sure you read the other thread about this contribution before installing it. This contribution acts possessed at times.

Ah, thanks. People were talking about a download named Quick_updates_v.1.3, the one in the download section is 1.1. Assumed there was a more recent one...

Perhaps there is a v1.3 but I am not sure where it is...if you find it and it's more stable please post a link here as I having being holding off due to all the issues with the current one. I thought that V1.3 was to imply compatibility with ZC 1.3. On the surface the mod installs find and everything looks good until you try to use it and it start messing up columns, descriptions and things like that.

That's what I thought at first too, but then I saw this post:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...50&postcount=4

Where she specifically spells out the 1.3 filename. I've posted in that thread to see if anyone has it for download. She mentioned zenportali which seems to be down.

Jettrue, you won't believe this, there is actually a v1.3 out there because I have a copy I downloaded to my computer. It still has problem but if you want it I'd be glad to email it to you if you want to send me a PM with your email address.

Isaacola -- what issues are you having with this?

I updated the sql file, which fixes the problem the original poster and others are having. Here is the coorect SQL file.

INSERT INTO configuration_group (`configuration_group_id`, `configuration_group_title`, `configuration_group_description`, `sort_order`, `visible`) VALUES ('300', 'Quick Updates', 'Here you can configure what you will be able to modify in Quick Updates.', '300', '1');

With these fixes, it now seems to work, unless people are noticing other issues?

Jettrue, thanks for posting the update. I have not try it with the new SQL you provide so I will report back when I try it. Prior to your fix, the biggest problem I was experiencing is that it was truncating the product description and it's not because I set any limit for the maximum description to display. It was messing up the descriptions for the products.

I will apply your fix and give it a go again.

Thanks!

The problem with that is that the description field was using a textbox instead of a textarea. I guess perhaps with zen there is a limit of 1024 characters for a text box? Anyway, you have to go to admin/quick_updates and change this:

if(QUICKUPDATES_DISPLAY_DESCRIPTION == 'true')if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_DESCRIPTION == 'true')echo "<td class=\"smallText\" align=\"center\"><input type=\"textbox\" size=\"45\" name=\"product_new_description[".$products['products_id']."]\" value=\"".str_replace("\"","&quot;",$products['products_description'])."\"></td>\n";//else echo "<td class=\"smallText\" align=\"left\">".$products['products_name']."</td>\n";}else{ echo "<td class=\"smallText\" align=\"left\">";}

to this:

if(QUICKUPDATES_DISPLAY_DESCRIPTION == 'true')if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_DESCRIPTION == 'true')echo "<td class=\"smallText\" align=\"center\"><textarea wrap=\"soft\" cols=\"35%\" rows=\"5\" name=\"product_new_description[".$products['products_id']."]\" >" .str_replace("\"","&quot;",$products['products_description'])."</textarea></td>\n";//else echo "<td class=\"smallText\" align=\"left\">".$products['products_name']."</td>\n";}else{ echo "<td class=\"smallText\" align=\"left\">"

Thank you so much Jettrue!

Moving to this Thread.

Well, there is this contribution, but as you can see, there are problems with it.
Plus the fact that you can't filter by category.

The problem for Zen Cart is that the customer side is fine (checkout excepted) but the admin side is hell if you have over a few products. I need to be able to delete or add or move or update more than one product at a time. Easypopulate is OK for half of this, but as for moving products, it takes TOO many clicks!

Very dirty coded module. It is a lot of errors and discrepancies, bad html-code, problems with security.
I did not rewrite it. Simply cleaned.

Download and test.
