Product Type Book (by moku)

[tekram]

i would prefer there would be one search box that could do all of the searches.

do you think the availability date matters? i can only set the date the book is available is tomorrow. i have no real catalog now except for three books. maybe the search result for setting the book date to tomorrow will work when the date has arrived. if i set any other date and then go back after saving it, it comes out blank.

[tekram]

the availabilty date does not seem to be the problem.

i can find books by title and things in the descpritoin. but noy by subtite, author, author nickname..

Would someone please let me know if the book type product works with Easy Populate?

[tekram]

It does not seem like easy populate completely works with this plugin.

Anyone able to get search to work? That is, if you use the search that comes with zen cart, can you do searches by author name? it seems like i maybe doing something strange because it used to work with the old plugin. i am using the latest version of both zen cart and the plugin. and to make sure, that is all i have installed for the time being.

thanks for that .. I think the 1.3.8 book version needs fixing, for finding authors in main search

I may be missing some files (or possibly brain cells). In the read me it says:

just upload the files in \catalogue to your cart,
apply the sql patch in folder RUN_THIS_FULL_INSTALL_SQL_PATCH_FOR_DATABASE
to your admin sql patch page in zencart.

In the files I downloaded I can't find "catalogue" or the sql patch. There is a folder called "1_Book_Main_Files" but there is nothing in it. There are a lot of other folders but most of it looks like extra stuff.

Not sure what to install. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!

Hi thebasher

I just dl'd the book v138 zip myself to check, go to actually inside Folder 1_Book_Main_Files/catalogue/..
Inside /catalog is 3 folders /admin, /images, /includes,
Inside those are files, and more sub folders-with-files-in

Upload **contents*** of /catalogue to your zencart site folder, zencart already has those 3 folder names..
I'll alter the readme file maybe

***Alongside*** the /catalogue folder see if you can see a QUIETLY named folder RUN_THIS_FULL_INSTALL_SQL_PATCH_FOR_DATABASE the required sql patch is inside that

Its ok, I get brain probs too.... are you ok now

Sometimes its better to reserve a fresh test zencart site for first attempts, in case it all goes terribly wrong

v138: MAIN ZENCART SEARCH BOX, BOOK AUTHORS FIX

Due to popular request (that is, people keep asking me why it doesn't work)

I fixed the book file that does the authors search from the main zencart search box. Overlay this file on the already installed book one, for v138 zencart only. Its a minor change, due to changes in v138 that I didn't notice.

The DL on my site is a zip, get the file in the zip, put it in (site)/includes/classes/observers/

OR if about to upload the whole book fileset, replace the existing file in the fileset before uploading.

The 'fix' zip is at
http://www.jphuk.co.uk/zc125/downloa...BookSearch.zip

let me know if any probs with this fix, it should work ok in getting the missing book data when a search for a specific author (or part) is done. Then you'll get the correct books shown in the resulting search list.
