Printable Price list :: support thread

Just for the heck of it change your height from 900 to 90 and see what happens.

I feel like such a moron! I was so traumatized by that full blank screen that I neglected to notice the little scroll down lever on the right side. And VOILA! There was my pricelist. After turning off Header and Logo under Profile-1 the list alone appears. I then turned on images in ADMIN and they appeared on the list.

Does anyone know why the Header and Logo feature would create such a huge link on the page? What adjustments do I need to make to atleast get my Logo to appear?

Thanks.

You may want to look at my post on http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...=49126&page=35 for formatting information (especially near the end of the post).

Sawhorse, you rock!

After studying your post #345, and looking at the target of my header link, I realized that my header image was pointing to the wrong file. After studying elsewhere in the forum, I made a change to includes/languages/english/header.php and changed the image name there. This change pointed to the correct image, my logo. Now I can see the logo in the header and on the pages.

I am still a novice at this stuff. Now all I have to do is keep studying and asking for a way to get the pages sized to US letter (8.5 x 11). I'll get there eventually.:wacko:

Thanks again for your help.

David,

Looks like you are getting very close. I believe that just a few more changes and you will have that page perfect.

I have my website set-up so that all my stock has a Product Status of "in stock" but I can stop people Adding To Cart by changing the Products Quantity to "0" (this brings up an inoperable Sold Out button. Is there a way to have only the stock with a Products Quantity of "1" (available) show up on the pricelist?

Just thought I'd post this workaround for my dilemma mentioned previously. It only applies to those of us who use the "sold-out" Button mod.
Instead of trying to get Printable Pricelist to sort for Product Quantity (which it can't do at present) try the following...
1.Make sure to choose to set "stock on hand" to true.
2.around line 33 in your includes/languages/english/pricelist.php file add a notice telling customers that a "1" denotes In Stock and that a "0" denotes Out Of Stock.
If anyone wants to have a look ...

Hi all!

For each of my categories, I have text describing what the category is about, there are also product descriptions. I see to show the product descriptions there is a flag, but how do I get the category descriptions to show/print?

I do not believe that "text describing what the category is about" is currently possible. However, the program author would really need to speak to this.

Question... Where in the code did the price list open to a category?

I think I may have edited it out or missed it somewhere... right now the page opens without a category selected, other wise it works grate.

Is there a switch to restrict the number of products listed by sub-category yet?

I do not see a drop down with that information. I think that one of your edits may have caused this problem. To see a correct formed pricelist see http://sawhorsejewelry.com/index.php?main_page=pricelist

You can switch between the two by changing a price list admin setting.

That's kind of what I thought... just wasn't sure if I missed something. I have over 5000 products so list it all may not work.

paulm:

No, not without code changes.

Wasn't sure if someone did it or not... got one category with 2000 products that would be nice to split.

Thanks for the reply... love the mod, been using it for a while now, just decided to post it out so customers can access it.

Sawhorse..

I only use one currency and don't sale outside the US. I commented the box out.

Hi, I have just added this to my site and would like know how you change the logo so that it shows my own instead of the zen cart one I can't seem to find it anywhere.

...It's always funny when you search through a thread and finds lots of the same question, and can never find an answer!

I've got pricelist running on a moderate sized cart (1500+ products), using it to generate a PDF catalogue for my client.

On one large category I no longer can get the file to generate, no doubt due to server timeouts (it's part of a VMS hosting, so I don't have access to server logs alas.)

So, question (as asked before), can I change my pricelist main page to not only select by main category (ie., "Accessories") but by subcategory ("ie., "Accessories/AAA", "Accessories/BBB") to generate unique pages for each of these subs individually?

cheers

ps. if there's an even spiffier way (since I last did the research) on an add-on that allows one to print their store to catalogue I'd love to hear about it!

(It's probably asked and answered before in the archived support thread.)

Searched through there as well.. Saw -lots- of asked, but no "answered". :)

My workaround for the client is a bit wonky - I actually had him turn off all the products save a single subcategory... He was then able to one-at-a-time generate a sub-category document isolated from the others, and didn't have the same timeout problems encountered when trying to do the whole shebang.

A silly hack, but one that worked. :)

So, if anybody has any brilliant ideas on a VMS on how to adjust timeout settings, or another way of doing ZenCart to HTML catalogue, I'd still love to hear about it...

cheers.

Hi bearshark,

because I was sure it had been asked and answered before I decided to search the forum (I must say that I have black belt web search :smartalec: ). And just before I was about to give up, because I thought it was pointless anyway, I found an answer AND the solution! So my previous answer to your question was wrong.

Correction:

So, question (as asked before), can I change my pricelist main page to not only select by main category (ie., "Accessories") but by subcategory ("ie., "Accessories/AAA", "Accessories/BBB") to generate unique pages for each of these subs individually?Yes, it's a built in feature!

In Admin :: Configuration :: Price-list Profile-x (where x is the profile number) change:

Category tree main cats only true
To:
Category tree main cats only false

(question post 250 of this thread, I answered that code changes were needed, feature added and announced a couple of posts after that)
