Hi Paul,

Question;
if i update my prices with 30% through the value or rate box, the price gets updated but my specials price doesn't.

i have a price and a specials price which is 40% lower. if i update the price with 30%, i would like the specials price to change with the same percentage as well.

at the moment it doesn't or am i overlooking something?

thnx!

You are not overlooking anything. Quick Updates does not update special prices atm. It's on my wishlist too, but that list only gets longer and longer it seems.....

Time....

Please help. I read the thread and still am no wiser. I installed the 2.01 patch, fixed the products_price_w problem by adding the field etc. etc.

I still cannot find the "margin increase from purchase price" portion of this mod.

When I enter a value in the "(+/-) Value or rate" it increases the existing price with this much and ignores the value added to "Wholesale"

Please let me know what I need to do to have a percentage markup from purchase price to work using this mod.

I have been using quick updates for a yr and a half and it has been great. I recently upgraded to 1.3.7 from 1.2.5. I re-did the site instead of upgrading individual files. I installed quick updates 2 however have a couple of problems. Because I used the original database I now have in Configuration->Quick Updates 3 of each config choice, except the new ones. Such as display the model has 3 of them. I set them all the same such as true. That all seems livable but when I use quick Updates there is no quantity being displayed. I have set all 3 modify quantity to true. There is no choice for display quantity.

What I would like to do is remove all entries for Config->Quick Updates and re-install the sql. Does anyone know how to do that? Also does that seem like it will solve the Quantity display?

Thanks

I have temporarily resolved the issue by removing the IF true statement around the quantity statement and the quantity heading. This echoed both in the report and the heading. After testing a bit all seems to be working well.

I have a variety of cart versions (and QU versions) installed. Thus far no one has questioned a particular function inside QU, until recently...

Whilst sorting by manufacturer, QU actually appears to be sorting the data by manufacturer_id, but displaying manufacturer_name. As such, it doesn't really appear to sorting correctly. The manufacturers are grouped, but not alphabetically ASC or DESC.

I've attempted to change the code to "&sort_by=manufacturers_name" but am missing something as no data will return.

thoughts? fixes?

If I remember well I did implement it in the latest public version (and I am sure it's in the latest non public ;-) ). And if it is, it's using products_purchase_price as database column name for the purchase prices. Are you using the same column name?

@13moons: If I remember well the sql file includes lines to remove any old quick_updates settings. It might be commented out (by a #), but you should be able to copy and paste the drop table sql part(s) into the zen admin tool to remove any old or duplicate entries. Run multiple times (if needed) to remove all settings. (BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST!)

@docfx: that sounds like a small bug, and I think it's not difficult to fix. If I find some time I will take a look and post back here (and/or update).

I also remember someone asking about the need to quickly update special prices I don't remember who/how/where it was asked though. This feature is high on my whishlist too so *if* I find time to update quick_updates I will certainly try to implement it. But again: better don't wait for it, I have little time.....

Thanks Paul, I will give the drop table part a try.
Also I do thank you for the work on this mod. It is extremely useful to us and saves an enormous amount of time updating and re-ordering products.

Yes, I added the correct column name but found that the problem was actually caused by the missing code from the admin\includes\extra_configures\quick_updates.php file.

I added

  // added for QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_PURCHASE_AND_MARGIN updates
  @define('QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_PURCHASE_AND_MARGIN', 'true');

to the file and the fields became available for update.

BTW, thanks for a wonderfull mod
