Multiple Products (Copy, Move, Delete)

Ajeh:

If you want to Delete the Specials of a Product, you can click the Radiobutton for:

Then select the Category Top in the:

and click the checkbox on:

Click PREVIEW and that will show ALL Specials ...

If you want to narrow down the Specials shown, use the Search Criteria to narrow the scope further ...

Example: pick a specific Category, or Manufacturer or search text or a combination of that ...

I don't see a radiobutton for "Delete specials from products?"

Weird ... I posted the update yesterday ... but I do not see it on this thread ... wonder where I put it ... :blink:

Let me go find it ... :lamo:

See if this one works better for you ...

see post #115 for updated version:

Thank you, Linda

I did an example about 3 to 5 specials they all pulled up and they all deleted all at once when they all selected with a check. That makes it a lot easier where you don't delete each item one by one.

Glad that this addition to the code was able to help you as it was added specifically for you ... :smile:

Linda,

Need help in one more area. Explain to me how to move multiple products from one category to another? I just trying to learn this mod.

To Move Products vs Linking Products, you would select the Radiobutton for:

Move Products to another Category

Now pick the Category to Move the Products to:

Copy or Move Found Products to Destination Category:

Next, select the Search Criteria for the Products you want to Move, such as if from a Category, select the Category from the:

Search From Category:

Thank you, Linda

I think this mod will help a lot.

Glad that this is working out for you ... :cool:

Be sure you back up your database frequently as you are trying to learn this new add on ...

Then why did you put a link to a mod that doesn't subscribe the title of this thread.
Trying to be helpful when I don't have the time (and not reading the post properly).
Also seeing a similar mod may help to create your own. Having something to modify is a lot easier than starting from scratch.

Great mod, very useful.

There are some minor errors:
1)nbsp missing the ; at```php

<td class="dataTableContent" align="right"><?php echo $product_multi->fields['products_id'] . ' &nbsp'; ?></td> ```2) same again but in the defines: ```php define('TEXT_COPY_ATTRIBUTES', ' &nbsp &nbsp' . 'Copy existing Attributes?'); define('TEXT_COPY_ATTRIBUTES_YES', 'Yes'); define('TEXT_COPY_ATTRIBUTES_NO', 'No'); define('TEXT_COPY_SPECIALS',' &nbsp &nbsp' . 'Copy any existing Special Prices associated with selected products:'); define('TEXT_COPY_FEATURED',' &nbsp &nbsp' . 'Copy any existing Featured settings associated with selected products:'); define('TEXT_COPY_DISCOUNTS',' &nbsp &nbsp' . 'Copy any existing Quantity Discounts associated with selected products:'); define('TEXT_COPY_MEDIA_MANAGER',' &nbsp &nbsp' . 'Copy any Media Manager collections associated with selected products:'); ```3) I get a validation error for the table and changed this ```php } ?> </td></tr> </table></td> <!-- body_text_eof //--> </tr> </table> <!-- body_eof //--> ```to this ```php } ?>

</table></td>

<!-- body_text_eof //--> </tr> </table> <!-- body_eof //--> ```

Thanks for the feedback ... I am finding a few more &nbsp than you have marked but that gives me a lead ...

Linda,

This one is off the topic. I just want to know if you are using Version 1.5.0 yet? I am using 1.3.9h and wanting to go ahead and upgrade to 1.5.0 they say its not ready for live shops. Should I go ahead and upgrade or should I wait til its ready for live shops?

Yes, this is totally off topic and should be its own thread ...

I do not have a problem with using v1.5 for upgrading sites for future activation ... v1.5 is not ready for Live Sites but can be used to prepare upgrading to v1.5 in a test directory to get ready for the release ...

Trying to use it on a Live Site could lead to issues based on finalization of the code ...

I do not know if it is worth running into those possible issues on a Live Site, but I would have no problem starting preparation for upgrading to v1.5 in a test directory with a test database to get a site ready and practice the upgrade from an old site to the new v1.5 site ...

And with each release of v1.5, upgrading that test site to have the new updates ...

I am finding a few more &nbsp than you have marked but that gives me a leadI don't actually "find" anything - I just keep FF+HTML validator on all the time to find my mistakes for me. Although the admin pages all have the same validation errors in them, I always check any add-ons to see if they bring any new ones in.
It becomes an obsession!

This is a great tool for products and overlaps a bit with "my" mod for categories. It would be nice to see them both in 2.0...making big-site management much easier, a good selling point maybe!

On this mod you have to be careful and hopefully Linda will look into this.

Here is an example in simple terms. You have TWO CATEGORIES AND ONE TIME IN BOTH CATEGORIES THAT ARE LINKED.

CATEGORY 1 > PRODUCT 1[CATEGORY 1 IS THE CAT ID]
CATEGORY 2 > PRODUCT 1[LINKED TO CATEGORY 2]

Say you no longer need CATEGORY 1 and WANT TO MOVE PRODUCT 1 to CATEGORY 2. The MASTER CATEGORY will still be for CATEGORY 1 and the item will still be in category 1. So you cannot just delete CATEGORY 1. You have to manually change the master ID for that product.

This is for linked items. I know, you're saying it's only one item and you can do it quicker just by moving it. But again, this is to show it in simple terms.
What if you had 50 linked products like I did when I used this.

Maybe I'm using it wrong and someone can correct me.

On the feature for:
Move Products to another Category

That are being to on the Category for:
Copy or Move Found Products to Destination Category:

That are being Moved from the Category:
Search From Category:

are not part of the list as they are already in the Move to Category ...

So yes, some things cannot be done with this add on as it does not make logical sense ... or would take away a lot of the ability to try to put that in ...

Currently it is ordered by product id.
I would like to order it by the products sort order.
I assumed any reordering could be easily done by altering the orginal query around line 136

            $query = $db->Execute("select * from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m on p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id =  " . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . ' and p.products_id = ' . (int)$id);
```with an "order by" at the end, but that didn't change the listing.

Is this the right track?

Thanks a lot Linda. Very, very usefull. Make live much easier. :clap:

Linda, have you put the mod up in the mods section yet? Or is multi_product_copy_v1392.zip (17th Nov) the latest version for now?

Thanks. :)
