Adding New Product_types

[DanTheMan]

If you insert PHP code in the Product Description field, it is ignored. Is there any way to include it?

This would offer many advantages - for example you could use language defines to insert frequently used text in the product description.

If you wanted to include a disclaimer on the bottom of your product description, you could simply add it to the language file:

define('DISCLAIMER', 'Please note that we don't guarantee hardware or software compatibility!');

then just insert it in the product description

<?php DISCLAIMER ?>;

That would make it very easy to edit if your disclaimer were to change, instead of editing x number of products. Also, it would reduce database size tremendously.

This is only one application, there are thousands more...

Any ideas?

I second that, I had to edit 100+ of products once because I wanted to add like 1 line of text... it would be great if we could execute php codes within the product descriptions :)

Ok, I realize this thread is old, but I'm curious -
does the product type add-on 'books' work with the latest release?
If not, is there hope of another product type addition?

Thanks!

Are you able to use that contrib to add a product type other than books?

Sorry for a second back to back post.

Are the instructions back in 2004 still valid for adding a new product type? If not is there an update I missed someplace that is compatible with v1.37?

thank you,

We added a new product type, however the items listed using that type do not show up in the products list when trying to add featured products.

How do I get them to show up in the products available to be featured products?

thank you,

betty

here I am replying to myself again!

Did I perhaps ask the above questions about products not showing up in the items available for featured listings on my new product type in the wrong thread? Should I have created a new one instead?

Or is it something that has been answered many times and no responses is meant to be a hint to make me search again (which will be the fourth time)?

thank you,

betty
