Hi Tim

Where should your code be inserted?

Thanks

I created a new custom page, following this guide

http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...ting_new_pages

The code pastes into the includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_myNewPage_default.php page

Cheers,

Tim

I have zencart v. 1.3.9h installed.

I am not sure if the current version of Product book type works properly on this version of zencart.

I did install product book type, however when adding a new product I choose "product-book" and click "new product" but I get a 404 page not found error.

I am not well versed in php and I am wondering if there is a problem with the way I installed the mod, or if it simply won't work on my zen cart version.

Any help would be appreciated as I don't even know where to start to trouble shoot this problem.

I am still using 1.3.8a (with all the security patches). I know I should migrate to 1.3.9h, but my site works fine with one exception: zc search on my site is a pain. But, please don't get me wrong. ZC search is excellent, but I think the problem is my host because search works perfectly on my desktop server( (MAMP).

So why am I writing this?

1. I think I will need to switch hosts (although I have been with the present guys for years) that works well with ZC. I would appreciate any recommendation. Even better, if there is one that will allow me to test my site on it for a short period before I commit.

2. Is there anyway I can limit ZC keyword search to book titles and authors only. Searching description only gives me a whole lot of results my customers don't need.

Now, a declaration. I am a geezer who learnt programming in the days of Fortran 4, which would give you an indication of my age. I am not totally out of touch with code; I can more or less make out what it is trying to say by looking at it. Still, it is only a hobby and I envy all the young energy at forums like this.

Enough self-pity.

So I will be happy if someone could respond or at least point me to threads or postings that can help me. (Oh, BTW, I have been searching ZC forums, FAQs and tutorials for answers for several weeks now. The closest I have got is this: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131747 -- Improving search results.)

I am suggesting we are who using this Product Type Book contribute together some money to hire a developer to make a clean module, or to improve the latest one. I am not sure how much is the cost, But I think we hire someone in this forum who can do this job.

[ikanperak]

Yes, good idea, I will support that.

Yes, good idea, I will support that.

Is there someone else want to join this?
I am not sure if this allowed to discuss in this forum.
