Quick Updates plugin [support]

Moebiusenterprises:

Is there something about the Quick Updates mod that might interfere with copying product attributes via the attributes controller?I don't know what "the attributes controller" is, but I am (99.99%) sure the error you posted is not related to quick updates.
(and it is very likely that the error is caused by "the attributes controller" itself, combined with your MySQL version or settings)

I have small issue:

If i put link to image , when i use quick update 1.3 .It will like this :

How to fix this problem?

It is ok with detail don't have open link or image don't have link to open!

Sory about my English skill.

The attributes controller is found under admin->catalog->attributes controller in the main ZenCart install.
This actually turned out to be a fairly simple fix, found here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35219

numinix:

Run the lines in the SQL file to alter the products table with the products_upc and products_isbn columns:

ALTER TABLE products ADD products_upc varchar(32) NULL default NULL after products_model;
ALTER TABLE products ADD products_isbn varchar(32) NULL default NULL after products_upc;

> Moebiusenterprises, I'm going to give you a tip for your survival here in the forum.  Always read a thread before posting as this was covered previously.  I also announce all version numbers in my threads so you can quickly scan the thread for the relevant information regarding that version.
I think that Numinix has been a little naughty with his update to this mod.

The mod as posted in the download section does not work 'straight out of the box' (despite numinix's assurances that it does), because it appears to be dependant upon another mod. To get the very useful Quick Updates to work in Numinix's version, further modification is, apparently, necessary - **but the user has to visit this thread to find out what the additional mod is,** AND gets chastised for not reading the entire thread!!

Come on, get real, and stop this craziness, Numinix!! Update the mod so that it WILL work as posted in the downloads section without the need for additional research, **OR, since most Zen Cart users are not selling books**, please re-post the OLD version in the downloads section.

It's lack of time that has deterred me from updating this module. You can download v2.03 from the downloads section already. It can simply overwrite v2.03a/b and you shouldn't have any problems.

I've requested that v2.03a be removed from the downloads section. I'm planning to clone this mod and make it for updating all ASA attributes without interfering with the original QU v2.03.

I get a blank page when I pull up the quickupdates page.. The configuration page shows up fine.

I use Plesk with a split ssl directory.... IE.. My httpdocs and https docs are not linked...

Did I mis something?

I also had the error:

Unknown table 'p.products' in field list

...and I was pulling my hair out while going through the forums and trying to find the fix.

Finally looked a little closer and found it. In admin/quick_updates.php distributed with QU 2.03b there is this at line 450:

p.products_model, pd.products_name, p.products_status, p.products_upc, p.products_isbn, p.products.epier,

p.products.epier should be p.products_epier

I don't know how anyone else got this working without making the change...

-Roger

v2.03b was created to include updates to epier categories and since no one uses epier, there was no reason to upgrade. Only v2.03 is currently available for download via the zen cart website and all of the additional attributes that I created will be put into a new variant of quick updates solely for the purpose of updating those attributes found in Auction Site Attributes.

I believe there is something very wrong with part of the current download version of the Quick Updates 1.3 mod (i.e. 2.03)

Around line 70 of the file the php file popup_text_edit.php looks like this:

<!-- body_eof //--> <!-- footer //--> <?php // require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'footer.php'); ?> <!-- footer_eof //--> </body> </html>

When I click on the text edit button in Quick Updates admin layout, I get an error message relating to Line 70 in this file. AT present I have commented out line 70.

Surely there is something wrong in line 70? I don't know what is wrong, but perhaps somebody could compare this with a definitive version of the mod an, if necessary, publish the CORRECT version.

```Which it should be.

I have cut out all the commented-out code and some other unncessary stuff, so my line numbering differs.

The line number for the error in the downloaded file should be line 98 onwards - thus

<!-- body_eof //--> <!-- footer //--> <?php // require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'footer.php'); ?> <!-- footer_eof //--> </body>

I believe that the problem line is line 101 because there doesn't appear to be closure to the php statements - the > require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'footer.php'); ?> is commented out!!

I have cut out all the commented-out code and some other unncessary stuff, so my line numbering differs.Why?? And why don't you post the exact error message you get?

paulm:

Why?? And why don't you post the exact error message you get?
I would if I could, but I've commented-out the offending code. V. busy at the moment with hardware probs on my computer - sorry.

If I get round to it I'll uncomment the line and post the error message - verbatim.

paulm:

Why?? And why don't you post the exact error message you get?
I feel pretty dumb, because I've restored what I considered to be the offending code, and cannot reproduce the error. (BLUSHES)
**
DUHHH! SORRY, everybody!!**

As to why I reduce the code: I'm possibly a bit aal - I try to cut out all unnecessary code and stuff just to gain a little bit of speed. (I know, I know - it's only a LITTLE bit, but it keeps me off the streets!)*

can i use** Quick Updates v2.03** on my ** Zen Cart 1.3.7.1**, it says on README FILE that is for 1.3.6?
thanks,
Tal.

I just upgraded to 1.3.7 and Quick Updates is still working wonderfully for me. That was the first thing I checked after I upgraded. Definitely can't live without it!

I am probably missing something but can somebody tell me how to move products from one category to another? I assumed that's what copy would do.

The only way I can make it work is to copy one product at a time until I make duplicates of all that product in the original category. Then I have to use the drop down boxes for the categories, change the category for each of the products that I duplicated, then hit update.

Is this the only way to do it or am I missing a quicker way.

Thanks

Hi Freebird,

I am not sure if I fully understand the question, but to move multiple products to another category I would just change the category for each product (using the categories drop downs in the products listing) and click "Update".

OK...I didn't explain it right. I'm trying to copy the products to a new category, not move them.

In that case I think quick updates does not offer a quicker way.

The current quick copy feature can be used to quickly create multiple copies of a product, but it can't copy multiple products in one go.
