Improved Attributes Controller (now built-in to v1.3.9)

mambotech:

Hi, I have followed the install instructions and I am running 1.2.7 DB patched to 1.3.0 but I getting this error when trying to opening the http://hawksdev.systemcms.com/admin/attributes_controller.php

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare draw_optiontype_pulldown() (previously declared in /var/www/hawkswood/zencart/admin/attributes_controller.php:553) in /var/www/hawkswood/zencart/admin/includes/languages/english/attributes_controller.php on line 560

Any ideas please

Mark

upgrade to version 1.3.7.1

A previous poster in this thread asked if there was a way to alphabetize and put numbers in numerical order on the Attributes Controller.

For every Option name chosen, my list of Option Values comes up randomly, not alphabetically or numerically, regardless of the assigned orders. However, on the actual site, the options seen are in order.

Has there been a solution to this? I have a long list of option values for some option names, and it's time consuming looking for a particular option at times.

The current version (which I'm using) sorts the option names alphabeticaly and the option values are sorted by their sort order.

That is precisely the solution I had to give to this problem, to manually set sort order for option values.
Thanks.

Thanks for the update! So, if Option Values are all set to "0", it will still be displayed randomly, not alphabetically/numerically?

That is in fact my experience.
There is a post by Ajeh earlier in this thread that shows how to set option values to your desired sort order.

Since I installed improved attributes controller I'm have problems with easy populate. Not all functions, only the "Create Model/Attributes tab-delimited .txt file" and "Download Model/Attributes tab-delimited .txt file"

I just recieve a error page as if the file doesnt exist. But the rest of the functions work as: complete, model/price/qty, model/category and froggle.

I've tried both with Mozilla and Internet Explorer. Same problem, only difference is though when I press the "Download Model/Attributes" function using Internet Explorer I still recieve the cannot find server error message, BUT!, log on via ftp to the website and check /temp folder, the attributes file lays there. So when it should be there when pressing the Create function (this is the function for it to create file in /temp) it doesn't work, but when trying to download it using only internet explorer, it ends up lying in /temp dir..

How does this work?

I will backup the database before i add my changes into the attributes file that ended up in /temp dir. And will then try to insert it into db. Will post what happends if I noticed any problems or if it works. But I think it would be greatly appreciated if more people could try this and see if they recieve same problems when trying to download or create the attributes file using easy populate and having this addon/module installed aswell.
If more encounter same problem it would be greatly appreciated if someone could take a look into it :D

will post soon what I found out about inserting file into DB.

there seems to be some big problems for me.

I can't even upload the attributes file into db even when I splitted it, not even when splitting the files!

The only way I seem to be able to upload attributes file is when I've stripped it down manually to around 100kb :frusty:

p.s. the attributes file in normal size is around 2,35mb

I wanted to see if works when I downloaded the complete file including partnumber, productdescription, price, specialprice etc. (no attributes included in this file) this file is even bigger than the attributes file, this file is 2,95mb.

Does anyone know what this might be? I haven't had this problem before I installed improved attributes controller.

thanks

I keep getting the following error when trying to add an atribute to anything? Any ideas???

1136 Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
in:
[insert into zen_products_attributes values (0, '1', '1', '1', '0', '+', '0', '1', '0', '+', '0', '0', '1', '', '1', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '', '', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0')]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

the problem i am having is the "copy to product" its just too slow. I cant copy to category because i have products with different attributes and copy to product i have to do one at a time.

is there no way i can select multiple products to copy to in one go? i think this would be a great addition to this mod.

i am getting the same error:

1136 Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
in:
[insert into products_attributes values (0, '519', '30', '126', '0', '+', '1', '1', '0', '+', '0', '0', '1', '', '1', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '', '', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0')]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

What does this have to do with??? does it have to do with the sort order #s??? seems like a great mod if i could fix this problem.

Every thing appears ok but all the attributes are listed... but when you submit, i get the error message.

I previously had the same error of

1136 Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

There seems to be a conflict with Improved Attributes and Wholesale Pricing mods. I had to uninstall Improved Attributes which sucks because due to this conflict, I couldn't add ANY attributes to my products without getting the 1136 error message.
Unfortunately this doesn't really help in keep this mod active, but at least it can point you in the direction to know why it's happening. Perhaps another mod is conflicting in the same way it happened to me...

Yeah.... i have wholesale pricing too... that is what is doing it... oh well... maybe they can fix it so us wholesalers can use this mod.

Others with our problem has Wholesale mod as well... I'll take a look but I'm in no way a coding expert... there must be one file that is conflicting this.

As suggested earlier in this thread, you can use a file comparison tool to find and merge the changes from the two different mods.

For those using Zen 1.3.7, Dual Pricing, and Improved Attribributes Controller, try the attached file and see if it works for you.

Hope this helps

:clap: :clap: :clap:

Yipee it works for me! I also checked if wholesale pricing was working fine and it is.

Thank you for this file, it is very much appreciated. Should this file be included with the mod? I think it should be...

Interesting... and I thought it was Quick Updates as the problem.... I'm getting the same error attempting to copy attributes. Apparently, I need to test out the Improved attributes controller and your patch :)

YEP... THAT DID THE TRICK!!! thanks for the help.

It just so happens that I AM using the referrals mod. I'll read through that thread and see if I can help.
