Quick Updates plugin [support]

[chadderuski]

Do you have an uninstall procedure?

I installed 3.0 beta 2... which seemed to work, but then noticed some "odd" things like manufacturer's id changing. So I uploaded the 2.03 files and re-ran the update.sql file, and now it no long works. Getting error:


Fatal error: Cannot redeclare zen_quickupdates_table_head() (previously declared in /home/royalind/public_html/store/admin/quick_updates.php:32) in /home/royalind/public_html/store/admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/quick_updates.php on line 14

any ideas?

Ah! Found the commented section in the quick_update.sql and ran that. Also made sure I deleted both version's of files (2 and 3) on server before reloading and then reran sql patch. Appears to be working now.

Due to the problems with the GOOGLE FROOGLE FEEDER handling product_type, I was wondering if it would be easier if the QUICK UPDATES had another blank input field for setting a custom Google product types that would be stored in the SQL as product_type?

I don't know anything about GOOGLE FROOGLE FEEDER (I think it's US only, isn't it?) and it's product_type handling. But quick updates does not add any input fields because quick updates is designed to update existing fields only, not add new fields.

If you need a new field you need to add it to your database, and if you want to update that new field using quick updates 2.x you would need to update the code for it as well.

And if GOOGLE FROOGLE FEEDER is a contribution I think you should ask about this issue in the support thread of that contribution (or start one yourself).

I'm trying to keep the contributions compatible. We've found a work around for the product_type in Google Froogle. But if we were to create such a field, then the quick updates would also need to match it. So far, no need... yet

Sorry numinix, I misunderstood and thought quick updates should fix the issue itself.

Adding a field for editting is certainly possible of course. In final 3.x versions it should even be *very* easy (without code edits), only I doubt if it will be ready soon. In 2.x it's also not difficult, several code edits will be needed though.

I just installed this Mod on a new 1.3.7 cart and I do not see anywhere to upate my Purchase Price or Margin??? Am I missing something?

Thanks

There should be the X icon for deleting products as well. Products can be disabled but not deleted. This is simple to do in the categories/products module but should also be included in quick updates just for ease of use.

This module is for quickly updating your product prices. If you bring in a lot of inventory and need to adjust prices due to the change in your purchase price, it is much easier to be able to see the products main details in a table format than to have to individually open each product and change the price. That's what this module does... The margins/profits module is something different but I believe something like it exists in the downloads.

I thought I read somewhere this Mod would allow you to accomplish the Margin and Product Price as well??? Hmmm. Why does it tell you at the bottom of the read me to add the two columns to my products DB is I want to use those fields.

Thanks
