How to Add Custom Fields for Materials & Dimensions when adding products?

When enter this in the text 1 its suppose to be this: 5.5" x 2.5" x 8.5" and came out this: 5.5" x 2.5" x 8.5"
Try using the escape code when entering it so instead of entering
5.5" x 2.5" x 8.5"

try entering
5.5" x 2.5" x 8.5"

Of course using the plain text mode if you have the option to use a WYSIWYG editor

Is it possible entering it with doing 5.5" x 2.5" x 8.5"?

wmorris:

Ok, it worked but with another issue.

Until the plugin is upgraded for v155 compatibility AND until v155a is released and you upgrade to it, you'll probably need to do the following:

Create a new file at: /admin/includes/extra_configures/disable_strict_sanitize.php
The contents of this file should be:

<?php
  define('DO_STRICT_SANITIZATION', false);
```That will bypass the protections that are cleaning up those fields to prevent entry of potentially malicious content.

I think the extra <div> and <ul> it added may need styling to work with your template.

Wouldn't an one of the html decode type operations on the template page fix the issue instead of bypassing the other security item?

It actually looks like (though styling may still need to be applied) that if this evaluates to false, but there is information in $text_1, $text_2, etc. That your page won't render correctly. Of course I haven't evaluated the use of these variables to know if at least one of them is always non-empty. The result of leaving this unmodified is that a div and a ul tag are each added, but never closed by the code.

if(isset($products_file_1_link) || isset($products_file_2_link) || isset($products_file_3_link) || isset($products_file_4_link) || isset($video_file_link) || isset($extra_field)) {
echo '</ul></div>';

This needs a check on the other fields as well for completeness/abuse of the code.

if(isset($products_file_1_link) || isset($products_file_2_link) || isset($products_file_3_link) || isset($products_file_4_link) || isset($video_file_link) || isset($extra_field) || isset($text_1) || isset($text_2) || isset($text_3) || isset($text_4)) {
echo '</ul></div>';

Or whatever is in the check to initiate the first div/ul tag combination.

Ok, that did it. But if you look at the page again. You can see the "More Information:" is way to much to left.

Looks like need to add a css formatting command for the class filesHead. I'm not where I can play with the css to identify a fix, but I would think would want to apply some position/location direction similar to the class above (productsDescription?) so that the information will remain responsively placed (likely to need to "target" different browsers/devices in some testing. But looks like getting there with the webpage development part.

Ok, if you go it figured out let me know. But another question. Where its Text 1: , Text 2: when I enter for an example 4" x 5" x 10" then I enter it this way <b>4" x 5" x 10"</b> to make it bold. Is there a way to keep it bold without enter in this code <b></b> all the time?

To rule out the TPP thing, find this line:if (!TPP_GLOBAL_EXTRA_FIELDS_ON_TAB) {and replace with:```
if(true) {

Oh Dr. Dr. You got it!!!

Thank you ..  And the correct sql with (my)  DBFrefix is >>  zenwn_

The only thing isn't working is - It does not show in 'Configuration' , so you can not turn it on/off.. it is 'ON' only.

===================
SELECT @gid:=configuration_group_id 
FROM zenwn_configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Product Info';


INSERT INTO zenwn_configuration
(configuration_title, configuration_key,  configuration_value,  configuration_description,  configuration_group_id,  sort_order,  last_modified,  date_added,  use_function,  set_function)
VALUES ('TPP Extra Product Fields Tab',  ' TPP_GLOBAL_EXTRA_FIELDS_ON_TAB ',  '1', 'Set this to 1 if you want to enable the extra fields on your products', @gid, 1, NOW( ) , NOW( ) , NULL ,  'zen_cfg_select_option(array(''0'', ''1''),')
====================

A new problem.

When adding a new product, if you enter any TEXT in the new 'Extra Text Field' text box and save, it automatically adds <p> </p> tags in the HTML preview. If you keep updating then re edit the same text, it adds to the same text line this time with ascii code.

==1 st time text added in the product:===================
Please click the link(s) below to download related technical data sheets in Acrobat PDF format.

==2nd time product edited and updated:===================

==3rd time product edited and updated:===================

==4th time product edited and updated:===================

it just grows and shows in the public view as well.

What is the cause of this now?

Your "extra text field" box hasn't been registered to be allowed to contain HTML, so the sanitization system is converting the HTML to safe equivalents.
Ref: http://docs.zen-cart.com/Developer_Documentation/1.5.5/code_docs/admin_sanitization

Even I had no HTML entered?

Anyway, I will not use the text box for now. I am totally sanitised. Thanks for the reason why.

oavs:

The only thing isn't working is - It does not show in 'Configuration' , so you can not turn it on/off.. it is 'ON' only.

I found it. It was hiding in 'Configurations> Product Info'
So all good now.

Since I only needed PDF uploads, I now commented many of the other fields like 'Text1, Text 2 , Video, Flash etc including the extra text box. It is much cleaner and works.

Only thing isn't working is the TPP Extra Product Fields Tab. I can turn it ON/OFF without any visible effects. I have installed the sql but still can't see in Configurations where I can control content and TAB names nor I can see in public.
