Quick Updates plugin [support]

[DivaVocals]

"Activate/Deactivate Commercial Margin" sounds like some long dead contribution... time for the weed whacker! I had a lot of that when I was cleaning up EasyPopulate ... what a tangled mess!

That was what I was starting to suspect, much like the "order edit" features that USED to be part of Super Orders.. Okay weed whacking it is then!! Do you have any updates in your version that are not captured in my Github repo??

Hi Diva,
Yes, but I'd have to look at the code again. I did add quantity min, quantity units, and then some custom custom fields (UOM, UPC).
Not sure now if Status and Sort Order were already in there now, but I see you have those too. I could have sworn that getting Status to work was a challenge, but you having it working smoothly.

Your description edit feature (no popup) is pretty nice. Much simpler. Did you remove the ability to browse for an image? I didn't seen that.

I thought about adding a delete check box, but then what do you do about linked products? Hmm... so I left well enough along

Oh, just fyi. It seems the "Uninstall" button doesn't work... ??

I think custom fields should NOT be included in the base core code. That said a readme instruction for adding them could be included. Not everyone will have/need these custom product fields..

All that popup editing crap was just plan old over engineered crap which was more about flash and less about real needed functionality IMHO.. I don't remember any ability to browse for images..

I imagine that the functionality would be the same thing you do about linked products when deleting them from the admin product listings..

Right and this is a minor thing to address in the scheme of things since pricing is incorrectly adjusted using this module for products priced by attributes. I think this is a BIGGER priority to add to the module versus fixing the uninstaller.

Upgraded from 2.06 to 2.07 today on a 1.5.3 site. Only problem I had was 2.06 related: the GD uninstall button would not work so had to manually remove old configuration keys using phpMyAdmin.

Subsequently 2.07 installed just fine and works a treat.

Thanks Diva

Goodie goodie - just pulled it

Compared 2.08 to 2.07 and noted that the files

admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/quick_updates_functions.php
admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/reg_quick_updates.php

have been made obsolete.

If I understand it right the update procedure (2.07 > 2.08) is meant to be

1. Uninstall 2.07 using the 'Uninstall' button in admin (ofc backup first....)
2. delete the 2 files mentioned above
3. upload the 2.08 file set (ofc rename the admin folder first....)
4. log into admin again etc etc

And, if needed, use the included uninstall.sql to remove 2.08 ??

Sorry to be a PITN (medically defined as the milder form of PITA ) but couldn't find that info in the readme's.

Sounds right, but honestly I haven't test what the actual upgrade steps are and I have not upgraded the readme yet.... The site I was using this on was a test site.. So I wiped out everything and started over..

Thanks a zillion, will try this on a local install sometime later tonite (weather is too nice now, need to take my dog for a run on the beach...)

cool.. let me know how you make out..

Thumbs up on all counts!

On a local 1.5.3 clone I did an upgrade 2.06 > 2.08 as per the (old) instructions plus deleting the 2 files mentioned in my earlier post, namely

admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/quick_updates_functions.php
admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/reg_quick_updates.php

If they are not deleted then you get 2 entries of 'Quick Updates' in Admin > Catalog

Just a minor bit: noted that in the file

admin/includes/languages/english/quick_updates.php

line 24 still shows version 2.07

Did a test run with products priced by attributes (quantity discounts) and all prices update as expected!

Great job Diva!
