Im stuck trying to install this contribution.

I downloaded the v2_0j

and tried to follow those install instructions which have left me confused. I'm used to making edits to phpbb3 via these text files but this one is just crazy. The start of the edits goes on about if I am upgrading from an older version but I just want to do a full clean install.

I have gone through the steps i can see the boxes appear in the backend but when i enter information and click preview i dont see the boxes and when i click save it dont save anything.

If i go back to the product in backend the information does not show.

can somebody send me plain instructions for a clean install please.

I have the same exact problem with the same package mentioned above on rc2a! Does anyone have advice on why the sql is not saving the values for these fields?  I started looking in the categories page.  Is there a select statement that needs to be modified on admin/categories.php???

thanks!

Is this statement right for the installation of this module towards mid bottom of categories.php?

<?php
			// START: Extra Fields Contribution (chapter 1.4)
				  // Sort language by ID  
				  for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($languages); $i<$n; $i++) {
					$languages_array[$languages[$i]['id']]=$languages[$i];
				  }
				  $extra_fields_query = tep_db_query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_EXTRA_FIELDS . " ORDER BY products_extra_fields_order");
				  while ($extra_fields = tep_db_fetch_array($extra_fields_query)) {
				  // Display language icon or blank space
					if ($extra_fields['languages_id']==0) {
					  $m=tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '24', '15');
					} else $m= tep_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES . $languages_array[$extra_fields['languages_id']]['directory'] . '/images/' . $languages_array[$extra_fields['languages_id']]['image'], $languages_array[$extra_fields['languages_id']]['name']);
			?>
					  <tr bgcolor="#ebebff">
						<td class="main"><?php echo $extra_fields['products_extra_fields_name']; ?>:</td>
						<td class="main"><?php echo $m . '&nbsp;' . tep_draw_input_field("extra_field[".$extra_fields['products_extra_fields_id']."]", $pInfo->extra_field[$extra_fields['products_extra_fields_id']]); ?></td>
					  </tr>
			<?php
			}
			// END: Extra Fields Contribution
			?>

I'm doubting thats the issue now.  The product field values still show once you  preview your product info in the admin.  But once you click on the update button, the values disappear.  They are not stored in the database either.  I'm beginning to wonder if it has something to do with this piece of code on categories.php....

 if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['pID']) && empty($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
		
	  //PRODUCT FIELDS (a) START: Extra Fields Contribution	  
	  $products_extra_fields_query = tep_db_query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_PRODUCTS_EXTRA_FIELDS . " WHERE products_id=" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['pID']);
	  while ($products_extra_fields = tep_db_fetch_array($products_extra_fields_query)) {
		$extra_field[$products_extra_fields['products_extra_fields_id']] = $products_extra_fields['products_extra_fields_value'];
	  }
	  $extra_field_array=array('extra_field'=>$extra_field);
	  $pInfo->objectInfo($extra_field_array);
	   // END: Extra Fields Contribution

or something similar on that preview page section of categories.php?

thanks!

Hi there, I am having exactly the same problem, and I don't know how it has happened.. I did all changes on categories.php, then did trials,.. all seemed to work fine.. and then, all of the sudden.. the data is not sent to the database.. I can see it in the preview page when I am editing.. but then.. after that, nothing goes to the database...

could you let me see you categories.php file.. to see where I am wrong.. this is really bugging me..

thanks for whatever help you can give me..

amanda.

[zandapro]

well. I found it.. if anyone else goes crackers... this is what I missed...

this change is critical.. as there are many "$languages = tep_get_languages();".. you have to make sure you put it where the rest of code appears.. then you won't go wrong.
------------------------------------------------------------------
13a) Around line 711 find the section of code that reads as follows:

      $languages = tep_get_languages();
      for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($languages); $i<$n; $i++) {
        echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_name[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($products_name[$languages[$i]['id']])));
        echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_description[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($products_description[$languages[$i]['id']])));
        echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_url[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($products_url[$languages[$i]['id']])));
      }

Just  before the } that closes the for loop INSERT the following:

        // begin Extra Product Fields
        foreach ($xfields as $f) {
          echo tep_draw_hidden_field($f . '[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($extra[$f][$languages[$i]['id']])));
        }
        // end Extra Product Fields

Product Extra Fields  in the product listing


I looked at this contrib & much of the code needs to be re-hashed, I can't see the mod for the listing working, ever, as writen.


If you look at Product Listing Enhancements, Thumbnails & Manufacturer Headings   http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6051 I have added support to that for Product Extra Fields by creating a new function, if you wished that function could be used elsewhere.

Button "Field Is Visable In Catalog" disables Field showing at all, even it is marked as META Keyword.
Button "Show Field In Product Listings" doesn't work at all.

Can I hide added in EPF META keywords from customer?

[xvoyance]

I installed extra product fields v3.01 with osc v 2.3.1

But the list came out strangly:

peddlerbooks . net76 . net / catalog/index.php?cPath=22_23&language=en

There is no product name and the extra fields I added. Furthermore,
The "buy now" button came out twice (I disabled one).

Could anyone help me to make it nicer.

Thanks.

How do I have the field transfer to the invoice and order?

For example, I created a field called "Product Size" and one called "Band Size".  Ho do I make sure that end up on the invoice and orders?

[tmckee]

By the way, I'm using version 2.1 on osCommerce 2.3.3

[tmckee]

Any ideas?
