Then you need to reinstall because not all of the files transferred.

great program - installed just fine. Doesn't want to do a site wide update of prices - about 1000 products. I made sure all were checked - it only updated the first 8 items. Another site that I have with 200 products worked Ok. What am I missing. Thanks - I am using ver 2.05

OK this may sound pretty stupid, but I am new to using quick updates.

if I add a +15% it updated the public price offered, however it does not alter the wholesale price, I am sure I am doing something very simple wrong, but have tried several different combination's and nothing seems to work.

I am using the dual pricing mod for the wholesale pricing.

I do not want to alter the retail prices as I use specials for that, what I need is to update the wholesale pricing.

Simply put I want to use easy populate to add all my products, then I will go to quick updates and update the wholesale price so that it has my small markup in it to my wholesale customers.

I tried this combo in the pricing box +0%, +15% and it did not work. I only have retail and wholesale one level each, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Can someone please give me details as to how I would structure the input to alter the wholesale only?

(I don't use wholesale prices and I currently use a heavily modified version of quick updates, but) If I remember well wholesale prices were added as a quick hack at the time, and I am almost sure you can only edit the wholesale prices one by one by entering the new values. So you can't apply a percentage or add an amount to all displayed wholesale prices in one go.

It's probably a very low memory limit setting on the server.

ah phooey, that's the reason I installed quick updates so I could do a percentage increase on the wholesale side, as the retail discounts I have already in the easy populate file.

Thanks for your help.

I am trying to add a new column to the quick update UI and I am having a tough time understanding a few aspects of the file. When I view the live site I have name, description, price, price inc, all the fields but when i run it locally I only see the two fields name and price. All the other fields are not visible. Upon further review of the quick_updates.php I noticed some if statements that wrapped most of the fields in the view. For example::

if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_NEW_COLUMN_1 == 'true')
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('p.' . QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_NEW_COLUMN_1, TABLE_HEADING_NEW_COLUMN_1);
if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_NAME == true)
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('pd.products_name', TABLE_HEADING_PRODUCTS);
if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_DESCRIPTION == 'true')
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('pd.products_description', TABLE_HEADING_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION);
if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_MANUFACTURER == 'true')
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('m.manufacturers_name', TABLE_HEADING_MANUFACTURERS);
if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_STATUS == 'true')
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('p.products_status', TABLE_HEADING_STATUS);
if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_SORT_ORDER == 'true')
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('p.products_sort_order', TABLE_HEADING_SORT_ORDER);
if(QUICKUPDATES_MODIFY_QUANTITY == 'true')
echo zen_quickupdates_table_head('p.products_quantity', TABLE_HEADING_QUANTITY);


The problems is that most of those constants are not defined anywhere in the application. So of course they are always going to execute to false. My question is whether anyone has any knowledge of why these if statements are there and do they serve some purpose.

Looks like the sql file is not loaded. By loading the sql file the settings (constants) are added to the database, so that you can configure the setting in your Zen Cart admin panel.
