Quick Updates plugin [support]

Using the Display Category and then sort by, say, ID doesn't get you there like you want?

Using the Display Category and then sort by, say, ID doesn't get you there like you want?
Not sure how to do that can you please share code so I can try. Each category has lot of products so by selecting category and then looking for specific product in that category manually is very time consuming. Looking to insert a search box on this page where an item can be search using name/model and then update that item quickly.

The Categories / Products page uses this code for selecting any ID, Model #, etc. I suppose it could be added into the display page for Quick Updates. Maybe someone more familiar with the php can tell us how.```

Thank you but I tried this code earlier and search worked but when search is perform it shows results on categories page instead of quick updates page where can not update item quickly like on quick update page. 

I see earlier in this thread few people mentioned about search via UPC but their provided links (years ago) are not valid nor they have provided codes / solution in this forum. I messaged them but have not heard back.  Any one know how to accomplish this?

what would you like to accomplish with UPCs? are they already in your database? or do you need them to get into the db and then be able to search by them afterwards?

best.

Looking to insert a search box on this page (quick update) where an item can be search using name/model/UPC and then update that item quickly on this page. Item name, model, upc are already in database just need search box on this item to search an item and update quickly.

Any update on this?

yes. i did look at it (i have never used this module before); but not something to which i can currently devote my time.

if i were to go about it, i would utilize the soon to be merged (one hopes) search box code for v158:

https://github.com/zencart/zencart/pull/3948

and then utilize the new function in v158 called zen_build_keyword_where_clause:

https://github.com/zencart/zencart/blob/v158/includes/functions/functions_search.php

so you would add 2 new separate files into your install, check that they get loaded, then add the search box in the quick updates code; and then take the post variables from that to modify the sql where statement.

Hmmm ... be careful when toying with unreleased code from newer versions when updating code on older versions. Sometimes things get moved around and have incompatibilities when used out of context. And remember that the unreleased code from newer versions may change many times before being finally released and therefore won't be an exact match when attempting to apply the upgrade. Use with caution.

Not a surprise at all. Four major releases since then and MANY versions of PHP.

It's really time to update. Six years is a long time in softwareville.

Hello. Does anyone have experience with the interaction of the plugin Quick Updates and Group Pricing (per Item)?
Because each module works with different prices. But it would be great if you could quickly adjust the group prices via quick updates.

Hi All,

Hi All,

I am using Quick Updates on a linux Server with version 1.58a, php 8.1, Numinix Product Fields and EP$ and I am having the following issue.

QUICK UPDATES
7 Product(s) Updated!
extra_field, product_id(s): 49357, 49356, 49355, 49354, 49353, 49352, 49351

1. Showing that the field has been updated but it is not showing when it goes back to the item list

2. When I go to the product itself (admin Categories / Products) the stock location is not showing the location either.

3. If I change the Stock location (numinix product field) in the product, it does not show in the product when I preview and then press update.

4. It does not appear to be recording in the database even though it is saying that it has been updated.

5. I have other numinix product fields like Condition, Waranty, Handling Fee, Additional Handling Fee (which are Working as they should)

6. Not working are the Stock Location (extra_field) and Suppliers in the product section but you are able to update in Quick Update no issue.

It apears that some fields are working and some are not so I am at a loss as to what I should do.

I am not real sure how to find an item number in the database so any assistance would be appreciated

Running 1.5.8a add following code to quick update page

 <div class="col-sm-offset-8 col-sm-4">```
  <?php include DIR_WS_MODULES . 'search_box.php'; ?>
</div>

other two mentioned files are already included in this ZC version but when search is performed it does not do anything.
How to include search box on this page to quickly search for a product to update it?
