Hello! If I remember correctly, all you need to do once you have Quick Updates installed, is open admin\includes\extra_configures\quick_updates.php and change

@define('QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_WHOLESALE_PRICE', 'false');

to

@define('QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_WHOLESALE_PRICE', 'true');

Thanks for help.I will try to mod this file.

Well I didn't see this in the thread so I apologize if it has already been addressed...

I got QU 1.3 to work on an old Zen Cart 1.3.0.2 installation. I put in a $5 increase on an entire category and click preview and the thing works like magic.

On another site I build I installed QU 1.3 with Zen Cart 1.3.6 and enter a $5 increase on a category and click preview and the values don't change. Anybody have a clue for me?

Thanks. This is a stellar contribution!

This has been fixed in the latest version.

I renamed it to 2.0 (since there have been so many changes recently) and uploaded it to: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=101
Note that lots of credits should also go to Andrew (a_berezin) for the 1.1+ versions (a part of the latest upload description that said so is missing).

I am currently working on a version that features product searches, single product selection,vertical tabbing (very handy when updating lots of values of the same type) and margin calculations using a margin table (i.e.: low prices => high % margins and high prices => lower % margins) and auto rounding of prices. And some new features I mentioned before.

Is anyone having any problems with Quick Copy not copying the product attributes? I never noticed this before. It may just be me and this could be why...

I have the Dual Prices mod installed. There was a fix to that mod that had to do with the attributes. Without the fix, when you try to copy a product, you would get an error. The fix to this was here:

In admin/includes/functions/general.php, find the following line:
'" . $products_copy_from->fields['options_values_price'] . "',

Right under it, add this line:
'" . $products_copy_from->fields['options_values_price_w'] . "',

Now in the same file, just a little further down, find this line:
options_values_price='" . $products_copy_from->fields['options_values_price'] . "',

Add this line right underneath:
options_values_price_w='" . $products_copy_from->fields['options_values_price_w'] . "',

I don't know if this would affect anything on Quick Updates, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. Any ideas Paul?

Is anyone having any problems with Quick Copy not copying the product attributes?

I am not having any problems with it But it's correct that the copier does not copy the attributes.

The copier uses a modified piece of core code which has the option to copy attributes, but since I was in a hurry to implement the copier and didn't have the need to copy attributes (and also didn't have any products with attributes to test it) I did not make it an option for the quick updates copier.

I think it's very easy to enable though, and I will post the piece of related code.

[paulm]

The quick_copy_product function resides in admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/quick_copy.php

And the piece of (currently disabled) code is

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Copy attributes to duplicate product

  $products_id_to= $dup_products_id;
  $products_id = $dup_products_id;
/*
if ( $_POST['copy_attributes']=='copy_attributes_yes' and $_POST['copy_as'] == 'duplicate' ) {
  // $products_id_to= $copy_to_products_id;
//            $copy_attributes_delete_first='1';
//            $copy_attributes_duplicates_skipped='1';
//            $copy_attributes_duplicates_overwrite='0';

            if (DOWNLOAD_ENABLED == 'true') {
              $copy_attributes_include_downloads='1';
              $copy_attributes_include_filename='1';
            } else {
              $copy_attributes_include_downloads='0';
              $copy_attributes_include_filename='0';
            }

            zen_copy_products_attributes($products_id_from, $products_id_to);
}
*/
// EOF: Attributes Copy on non-linked
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

To make it *always* copy the attributes you can try to change it to:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Copy attributes to duplicate product

  $products_id_to= $dup_products_id;
  $products_id = $dup_products_id;

//if ( $_POST['copy_attributes']=='copy_attributes_yes' and $_POST['copy_as'] == 'duplicate' ) {
  // $products_id_to= $copy_to_products_id;
//            $copy_attributes_delete_first='1';
//            $copy_attributes_duplicates_skipped='1';
//            $copy_attributes_duplicates_overwrite='0';

            if (DOWNLOAD_ENABLED == 'true') {
              $copy_attributes_include_downloads='1';
              $copy_attributes_include_filename='1';
            } else {
              $copy_attributes_include_downloads='0';
              $copy_attributes_include_filename='0';
            }

            zen_copy_products_attributes($products_id_from, $products_id_to);
//}

// EOF: Attributes Copy on non-linked
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

If you try it out, and it works well, I might add it as an option to the quick updates copier.

(I have no ideas about the Dual Prices mod and the fix for it, but it seems unrelated to me)

It works! Thanks (again and again and again)! You have saved me from wasting hours and hours of precious Zen Cart time.
