cup of joe = cup of coffee

I'm a homeschooler and I just taught my son about idioms.

what did you just call me?!

lol. j/k.

I have made some important (but bearly any visible) changes to the mod today. Anyone willing to test it? Only usefull if feedback is going to be returned of course.

I'm actually still using the previous version of this mod and the 1.3.5 version of zencart. So I could test for 1.3.5 and then upgrade and test for 1.3.6.

Just let me know. Andrew is going to get a "cup of joe" this week. ha ha.

thanks again

Ha! I thought that might happen when I was writing it!

Hi Paul...

How about adding the ability to only show products which are activated at the moment if i go to a category it shows me all products and i would like only those which are switched on.

or maybe thats already there and ive missed the switch.

That happens to be on my own list too. Difficult to say when I will get to it. A lot depends on how fast modifications to another (external) script go, which I use in conjuction with quick_updates. It may take a day, or it may take much longer.... ;-)

For now you can edit this line (in admin/quick_upates.php):

  $where = array();

And add a line, so that it becomes:

  $where = array();
  $where[] = "p.products_status = '" . 1 . "'";

Later I will include it as a switch.

Hi, I just install this very usefull mod. I want's to add another comlumn, "p.product_price_w" for the wholesale price of the dual pricing contribution. What can I do to do this?

Thanks a lot

This is my questions, I think that not is very difficult. Can you help me, please. I have just tried.

Look for (in admin/quick_updates):

// added for products_purchase_price and margin

It shows how/where I added two extra columns, adding other colums can be done in a similar way.

Almost finished adding a quick products copier BTW :-) (but often the last parts are the hardest ;-) )

This is such a great mod. Have you ever considered doing the same thing for Attributes?

Yes, but really only *considered*, I think a quick attributes editor should be a separate module. *maybe* a future version of the quick updates copier feature will offer the ability to copy attributes from an existing product to a new product.

but often the last parts are the hardest

And also this time it appears to be true. By itself the copier works, but while testing I noticed strange behaviour concerning the categories. I am quite sure the categories edit feature of this mod does not work like it should. It lets you change "the category", but in reality each product can be linked to several categories (and has one master_categories_id, which quick_updates does not let you edit currently).

So the categories edit feature should show the user al linked categories_id's for each products_id, and (separately) show the master_categories_id for it. It also should let the user select a range of categories_id's to assign to each product one of which *must* be the master_categories_id (and/or let the user select a master_categories_id from the selected categories_id's for that product).

Anyone still reading?

To make a long story short this probably will delay the release of my quick copier addon, since I think this problem should be fixed first. Or maybe the categories edit feature should be disabled until it's fixed....

Another idea would be to drop the quick_updating of categories, and replace it by links to the Zen Cart "Multiple Categories Link Manager".

I am also looking for a way to add wholesale prices to quick updates (my favorite mod!!!). I tried doing it myself but my knowledge is very limited on this sort of thing. Having Quick Updates be able to update wholesale prices would save my life. Any help would be rewarded with my eternal love and an expensive dinner if you ever came to Texas.
