Adding new Qualifiers to

[Buymorecards]

If you visit www.Buymorecards.net and click a set -- you will see all the cards listed in that set. Pretty simple.

How does one add more "qualifiers" to the list of cards? We would like to add "RARITY" and "CONDITION" between where it says "ITEM NAME" and quantity. We already have it set up on the item page (if you click on a card) but not in each set.

Also, in relation to that...how would we set it up so that on our packing slip/order/shopping cart, we would know which condition a card was when sold?
We ran into an order where we weren't sure which card was which.

Btw, we don't use the product attributes page, we use a database to hold all that info.

thank you!

When you call them "Qualifiers" ... are these choices the customer can make and select from?

Or are these descriptions that you are telling the customer and that this is not a choice?

If this is a choice that the customer makes, you are wanting to use Attributes ... these allow the customer to select what they want, and, in turn, you can alter the price if need be based on that selection ...

IF this is not a choice that the customer makes ... why would you need the Product to list it on the order ... wouldn't the Product itself be the "qualifier" for the order?

Hi,

Not to sound condensending, but if you woudl look at our site, you'd see what we mean.

Some cards are "poor", "mint", etc. Some cards are foils, some are not. Some cards are rares and uncommons, some are not. Etc. So we wanted to put that beside each and every card. No choices to be made, just so the customer can see what is being offered.

As I haven't a clue how you have configured your Products ...

What is it that is reading on products_id 183:

Aladdin's Lamp
$1.50 Condition - Near Mint

[Buymorecards]

What do you mean by "what is reading?"

In one table we have image, quantity and ID, in another we have all the other things, cast_cost, foil, artist, set, rarity and all those other things.

I guess all we want to know is, how do we add more things to the category? (well, all of them). Its hard to ask a question when I'm not sure what to call it.

The page of a category that lists all the items in it. We want to show more things about each one than what is already there. What template would that be under to modify? We have all that data, I just would like to be able to show it on taht page. (see above). Thank you.

I am asking you ... what database and field contains that information:

Condition - Near Mint

[Buymorecards]

The database and field are :

Database: buymorecards_net_-_mycards -

Table: products_Description

how would this help?? thanks!

I am trying to determin if you already have the information you want to display in the database in a manner that can be displayed in the Admin easily ...

From what you are saying ... the condition of the card is not in a useful field perse but rather in an ambiguous field of the products_description ...

One thing I am not understanding is how if the products_id is defined that the customer ordered, you do not know what this product is without its description ...

You could add a new field and have this information defined so that it can be displayed in the Catalog and the Admin easily ...

But you would need to do some customization to add the new field ...

This would probably be the best way to manage this ...

The way we know which cards have been purchased is two-fold.

One, certain cards are only in certain sets. Two - the item ID's come up so if there are duplicates in sets, we know the spcific cards purchased.

The attributes to the cards (rarity, etc) are all in the database fields...so they are all there...I guess its just a matter of acquiring them to show up. How do we add a new field so they show up like you mentioned??
