Product Extra Fields for text, pdfs and flash

[exconrider]

I restored all of my site files, except the database, to a date well before I tried installing this. Do I need to change/fix a table on the database or something?

[delia]

no, the mod adds a table and changes none so you have missed a file somewhere.

Thanks for the mod Delia... I have an issue i am hoping you can help me with.

Everything is working...

-Got fields in admin
-Even the file is uploaded
-The old files (existing) work in the catalog (new files cannot file the filename)
-No errors showing even in debug
-text is working, anchor, descriptions etc

However, it will not write the filename for the file upload to the database. I have checked the install several times and even installed it on a test site and it does not populate the database field for files... text yes, files not so much... they are in fact however being uploaded.

Zen Cart 1.5.1
PHP 5.3.21
MySQL 5.1.68-cll

any ideas?

Without working with it myself, I can't answer that for sure. But I could see that there's a php problem if the code I used wasn't allowed on your server. It would not give an error; it would just not work. But as I'm not a php guru, I really can't be more specific.

I have not tested that part on that level of php but have heard no complaints so far. There were very few changes between the 1.3.9h files and the 1.5x files themselves so I would assume it normally works.

I actually had to change the ability to include the url part in the PHP config, but got it going now

Great! I was in the area of the right answer!

[mprough]

Yes ma'am! Thanks again

Hi, I'm in the process of building a new site based on 1.5.1 and I could use more text fields but not video, links or PDF's. I'm new to ZenCart and not a coder. It's a wine site and I've set up categories for things like vintage, country, region, style, size, and a few more for search purposes. Ideally, I'd love to have the category info put into these fields. Minimally, I need all this same information to appear in the product descriptions and would like to add all your additional fields as text even if I manually or through EasyPopulate, fill out the fields. Any assistance would be appreciated.

[delia]

It's definitely possible to do that but it does require php skills. The database fields are all text fields so you just have to change the admin for input - and that's really what the mod does - so it is a fair amount of work that I suspect you aren't capable of doing.

Even writing up any instructions would be a long, drawn out thing.

Thank you for the response. I figured out how to do what I need using read-only attributes. Although I haven't tried it yet, I'm under the impression that EasyPolulate will allow the uploading of attributes.
