Product Type Book (by moku)

[jhauser42]

I've tried that, yes. What I intend to do is to upload and install a brand-new v138a install of zen-cart. Then I will install the book product type and make sure it is working properly. Then I can install the other mods I am using 1 at a time and see where it breaks. At least this way I can narrow down where I am getting this problem.


Thanks again,
Joe

hey jhauser42 hold your horses...

V3 book is only for up to V1.3.7 zencart, if you try V3 on 1.3.8a it is untested by me in that situation. Thats why I'm slaving away here doing V4 for 1.3.8a :)

OH. I did not realize it was not tested on v1.3.8a. Maybe that is why I am having problems. Oh well, not gonna hurt to try it in a new test database....

Oh well... this stands in for the final V4 book add-on, while I battle with my host over poor website sql performance..

I have zipped a BETA of PART OF (note, part of) V4 for v1.3.8a for those in a hurry

The zip has the sql (slightly added to relative to V3) and the main files catalog folder for upload. Refer to the V3 docs mostly.. be aware this zip has the book multi sidebox with a new ISBN search dropdown.

This beta DOES NOT run totally correctly for multilanguage, please wait for the full V4 if you are setting up more than one language, or just use one language for now. tthis Beta does NOT have the grid option extras.

Any silly bugs in this zip let me know pronto, otherwise they don't get fixed...

I just searched the forum, but I found nothing under broad search terms, so I thought I'd ask... Is there a way to display the subtitle in the book listings after, say, clicking on a category?

[hareslade]

the ocerina..
No its not standard, subtitle isn't shown in listings
Maybe you could just add any subtitle to the title entry text

You need to do programming in php to put subtitle in listings, it could be done.

[the ocarina]

If it's possible, could you tell me exactly which files I need to program into? I will probably go the long way around and just hard code the PHP into the files, but I'm not sure which file is the one that I want. If it's not too much trouble, how can I make sure that the subtitle for each listing is printed underneath the title?

ocarina..
wait for v4 full kit for 1.3.8, i'll have it beta-finished in a day or two.

I have put subtitle in the main product book listings, not 'just' for you, but it shows others how to copy it for other book 'extra' fields.

perhaps you'd like to be my beta tester no.1 (they are difficult to find ;)

btw you just don't want to know 'how' the thing works, its observers and notifiers.. I just built on what moku did.

Hareslade,

I'll volunteer for beta testing. I have just set up a test site with the latest version of ZC and was about to put in this mod when I saw that you've got a new version coming. The only other thing I'm going to have on this install is the multiple site mod (which we've been using for quite some time now on our live site). I actually set up this test site to work out any possible problems before updating our live store(s)...so testing is what I had in mind!

Let me know if that works for you!

[the ocarina]

Hareslade, that's great news. I would love to test out the new beta.
