Update products quantity in category listing

Hi,

just downloaded and played with this mod http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=1579

I think its a great idea!! But i have a little problem with it :(

when i click on the Quantity field box i am taken to the product listing page. Thus i am unable to update the stock quantities via this method?...

I have tried highlighting the value in this value box but even that doesnt work...

I used winmerge to check all three files and i only one tiny different line in category_product_listing.php

any ideas?

I just installed this mod this morning. I'm experiencing the same problem. If I tab around the screen through the fields I can update quantities but I can not take my cursor and position it directly in a field otherwise I go directly into the product page.

I couldn't locate an official support thread for this mod.

Hopefully this can be resolved.

Thank you,
Kathy

subscribed as having exactly the same problem :-(

Likewise. Exactly the same symptoms.

Likewise..... also there appears to be a problem is you use sub categories............. on the subcategoru page there is a cell missing that would me to manage images so the actions go under hte images heading and all cells are too far over to the left leaving a blank at the end.......... hard to explain but the table format just is not right on the subcategory pages.

Does anyone support this module or????

Not really a answer. But you can get around it by right clicking in the box then select all and type in the number you want.

I'm in the same boat as well, and Im assuming its a very simple fix that we all are missing.

Any idea ?

I'm a little late to this post but what has anyone here used to merge the 3 Admin files. I keep merging & installing the new files and the whole ZC shuts down. I know I have the right directory, my guess is that I'm not merging the files correctly.

So far I have used Beyond Compare but I find it a little over my head. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have created this add-on. (it's my first add-on).

The work around for the problem is, what is already told:

Not really a answer. But you can get around it by right clicking in the box then select all and type in the number you want.

The problem is dat the hole Item line has a kind of 'onClick' trigger behind it, what leads you to the item description page.
In some way, this piece of code should be disabled for the Quantity Column.
I haven't had time yet to fix it...

Hope the work around can give you a temporary solution.

I was able to work around by disabling the mouse over function for this page. Now to edit the product page you cannot just rollover the product line to go to the product page. To edit the product page you must click on the edit icon on the right side of the page under action.

The file to edit is category_product_listing.php in your admin/includes/modules. There are two sections that reference the mouseover - you want to edit the second set.

I would suggest editing a backup copy first and then apply to your site. I remember editing a few other parts of the code to get everything to line up properly but this will enable the edit quantity function.

I like this functionality so much I am going to try to apply it to the SORT ORDER as well.:clap:

Hey, Louis..........What exactly did you edit those lines to be? I found them and messed with them for an hour with all kinds of results............none of which worked for me. I really don't care about being able to click on the whole row, anyway, so that's not a problem. The problem is, no matter WHAT I done to either one or both of those lines, if it wasn't broke altogether, you couldn't click inside the box without it taking you to the products' page. Of course, the right-click/select all worked, but that kinda' sucks, ya' know?

Nevermind. I got it.

For those interested, find the second set (around lines 321 - 323) of the mouseover lines Louis was talking about in Admin/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php

That whole section will look like this:

// Split Page
      $type_handler = $zc_products->get_admin_handler($products->fields['products_type']);
      if (isset($pInfo) && is_object($pInfo) && ($products->fields['products_id'] == $pInfo->products_id) ) {
        echo '              <tr class="dataTableRow" onclick="document.location.href=\'' . zen_href_link($type_handler , 'page=' . $_GET['page'] . '&product_type=' . $products->fields['products_type'] . '&cPath=' . $cPath . '&pID=' . $products->fields['products_id'] . '&action=new_product') . '\'">' . "\n";
      } else {
        echo '              <tr class="dataTableRow" onclick="document.location.href=\'' . zen_href_link($type_handler , 'page=' . $_GET['page'] . '&product_type=' . $products->fields['products_type'] . '&cPath=' . $cPath . '&pID=' . $products->fields['products_id'] . '&action=new_product') . '\'">' . "\n";
      }
// Split Page

Edit the two lines that include the mouseover part so that whole block of code looks like this:

// Split Page
      $type_handler = $zc_products->get_admin_handler($products->fields['products_type']);
      if (isset($pInfo) && is_object($pInfo) && ($products->fields['products_id'] == $pInfo->products_id) ) {
        echo '              <onclick="return false">' . "\n";
      } else {
        echo '              <onclick="return false">' . "\n";
      }
// Split Page

And as already stated, this takes away the clicking ability for the whole row. You will now HAVE to use the icons on the right to edit products, but your stock updates will work perfectly from there.

You can put some color back in it by editing your Admin/includes/stylesheet.css.

Hope this clarifies some of the confusion for others.

So...how do I get the product quantity to display in the categories box like in http://www.cavalryfiberglass.com/store/
on the left side there??
If you go to my website ..the quantities of the products is not displayed in the Categories box....

thanks very much!:clap:

I installed this contrib, and thank you for the fix above. It worked.

However, when I click on the manage text to the right, it goes to a 404 not found page, saying something about an image in the URL.

What is the purpose of the manage link?

Sharni

I think the manage link is for additional pics add on.

also the code is now around lines 631, the same fix works.

THANKX!!:yes:

Another workaround:

In IE8, you can highlight the quantity with the mouse, keep holding the button down, and move the cursor off the row, then release the mouse button, and then type the number you need.

Does not work that way in firefox. Don't know about other browsers.
