[Contribution] Custom (products) Sort Order


Recommended Posts

Great contribution, and I found it easy to install. Just a couple of things I'ld like to see added to it.

 

 

It doesn't seem to affect what shows up on the front page, which is prety well the main reason I installed it. Is there any way around it or is it suposed to do this already?

 

 

It would be good if you could also enter the sort order as you where adding/editing the product from the add/edit product pages aswell as from the catagory page, it would save a few page clicks if it could be done on one page.

 

 

I'ld also like to see a way of reversing the order so I could use dates as part of the sort code.

 

 

 

My main gripe is the lack of front page integration, so if anyone knows how to solve this it would be much apreciated.

I am getting a weird problem after installing this contribution. For some reason there is an extra column showing in the product listing. I have two "Buy Now" buttons showing, but when i remove the "Buy Now" feature, it shows two price listing columns so it looks like it's duplicating the last column.

 

When I revert to a backup database it fixes the problem, but the sort doesn't work and when I take out this line of code..

 

//sort order

$define_list = array('PRODUCT_LIST_SORT_ORDER' => PRODUCT_LIST_SORT_ORDER,

'PRODUCT_LIST_MODEL' => PRODUCT_LIST_MODEL,

//end sort order

 

..and replace it with the original, it fixes the problem, but again the sort doesn't work. I am at a loss as to why this is happening.. :(

 

Is anyone else having this problem? This contribution is exactly what I am looking for so i don't want to uninstall it.

 

Here is a screenshot of the problem..

I'm getting this aswell. Incidently the code above is in the catalog index.php file if that jogs anyones memory, though I'm not sure if that's where the problem is. Where abouts is the table in question laid out? Looks like I'll have to have this good contrib off untill this is sorted. :angry:

 

When I installed it on a test install I noticed a line of code entered that was identical to the one that followed it, so iirc I commented out one of them and it seemed to work ok - but I can't remember where it was (may even have been another contrib!) I didn't do it on this install and I've had the above trouble.

Im trying to get this to work.

but I have a slight problem

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CASE in /home/.devi/xxxxxx/dpglassblowing.com/catalog/admin/categories.php on line 23

 

as I know little of code I.m lost

 

line 23 is case beginsort

 

//sort order

 

case 'beginsort':

 

$sorting = true;

 

break;

 

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'cPath=' . $HTTP_POST_VARS['cPath']));

 

case 'setsortorder':

 

for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id']); $i<$n; $i++) {

 

tep_set_product_sort_order($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'][$i], $HTTP_POST_VARS['sortorder'][$i]);

 

}

 

$sorting = false;

 

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'cPath=' . $HTTP_POST_VARS['cPath']));

 

break;

 

//end sort order

switch ($action)

 

 

anybody have any Ideas what to look for.

I got it to work.

Great contribution.

 

I had two problems

Somewhere in the code there was a > missing.

If I can remember where I post it.

 

Also if you ger the famous Cannot send header stuff

 

I went back and removed the empty white space between the lines.

this solved the problem.

 

The only problem I have that I can live with

is in my admin section it list

TABLE_HEADING_SORT_ORDER

with all the _ _ _ in place.

someday when I get real bored I"ll look for it.

 

Thank You

Dave

i would like to thanks Beer Monster (author of this contribution) and all of you guys to provide this GREAT information, even i dont know about SQL and phpMyAdmin (at all) - but i can install it without ANY PROBLEM !

 

thanks again :thumbsup:

 

some of my snap shot may help others who dont know any of database and phpMyAdmin (as me)

 

how to copy/paste SQL statements into your phpMyAdmin

1. open you phpMyAdmin

2. select your Database

sql01.jpg

 

3. press SQL tab

sql02.jpg

 

4. Copy this code into text box

ALTER TABLE products ADD products_sort_order INT( 4 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added) VALUES ('', 'PRODUCT_LIST_SORT_ORDER', '6', '', '0', '', now());

 

sql03.jpg

 

5. Press Go , That's all you need to do with your phpMyAdmin

 

others part >> i know you guys can do it by yourself

 

Thanks again Brian (aka Beer Monster)

Has anyone fixed this problem? I have the same problem with 2 buy now buttons :(

I found the problem, I tried to install the changes in product_listing again, and that helped.

Hi, I installed this contribution today and I have allllllllmost got it working. Sadly, this is what my admin>category/products looks like right now:

 

products_sortorder.gif

 

no products listed within their categories. All the products are still there (show up on the website) but they aren't listed here. I am able to add new products but, again, they aren't listed here once they have been added.

 

Here is what it looks like when I click the 'sort order' button:

 

products_savesort.gif

 

same deal, no product listings.

 

I have gone through each phase of the install instructions and all the appropriate bits appear to be where they are supposed to be in my files. Obviously, I have missed something somewhere - anyone have any ideas where?

 

Thanks in advance! :o)

 

Hi all, I have this same problem, no products showing up, Does anyone have any ideas, before I have to redo from the shop from scratch again? I have been checking all the code for hours with no avail, thanks in advance for any assistance offered...jeff

Just did the install... every thing shows up BUT I can't enter numbers - they are blued out. How do you place a order number? Is there something I might have done wrong? If so, where should I look?

Hello,

Very nice contribution. Thank you. I was hoping someone will be able to help me in regards to an issue I am having with the code in my index.php file in reference to this contribution. All items on the contribution have been added/replaced/etc., except for two sections of code on my index.php file that cannot be found for some reason. The two steps are:

 

Line 201

 

Replace

 

if ($column_list[$i] == 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME') { <<<------------------Cannot find this chunk of code in my index.php file nor the entire site

$HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'] = $i+1 . 'a';

$listing_sql .= " order by pd.products_name";

With

 

//sort order

if ($column_list[$i] == 'PRODUCT_LIST_SORT_ORDER') {

$HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'] = $i+1 . 'a';

$listing_sql .= " order by p.products_sort_order, pd.products_name";

 

break;

}

elseif ($column_list[$i] == 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME' && PRODUCT_LIST_SORT_ORDER==0) {

$HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'] = $i+1 . 'a';

$listing_sql .= " order by pd.products_name";

//end sort order

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Line 218

 

After

 

switch ($column_list[$sort_col-1]) { <<<<<----------------------- Cannot find this chunk of code either.

 

Add

 

//sort order

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_SORT_ORDER':

$listing_sql .= "p.products_sort_order , pd.products_name " . ($sort_order == 'a' ? 'asc' : '');

break;

//end sort order

All of the input fields/buttons/etc. from the contribution are installed and show up just fine in Admin; however, when changing the sort order nothing happens to the product listing order and I believe the reasons are becuase these two (see above) sections of code are missing. Pasted above is a copy of my index.php file. I was hoping someone would be able to point out where I should paste these remaining sections of code into the index.php file. I apologize for the long post but I am ripping my hair out at this point.

 

Thank you for your help.

Fine contribution but thete is a problem with mulitlanguage shops.

(I didn't install a sort_order_categories)

If to switch language in subcategories it gives error

 

1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'p.products_sort_order , pd.products_name asc' at line 1

 

select count(p.products_id) as total from products_description pd, products p left join manufacturers m on p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id left join specials s on p.products_id = s.products_id, products_to_categories p2c where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.language_id = '1' and p2c.categories_id = '35'p.products_sort_order , pd.products_name asc

 

Any way to fix it?

Thanks

Are you sure it's THIS sort contribution you are using. The SQL above does not match anything in this contribution. Nevertheless, you are missing the words ORDER BY

 

p2c.categories_id = '35'p.products_sort_order , pd.products_name asc

 

should be

 

p2c.categories_id = '35' order by p.products_sort_order , pd.products_name asc

 

and there should be a semicolon at the end of any SQL statement.

Light, in the absence of eyes, illuminates nothing.

should be

 

p2c.categories_id = '35' order by p.products_sort_order , pd.products_name asc

 

and there should be a semicolon at the end of any SQL statement.

 

Now, not sure that the SQL error reason was the contribution. I noted the error after its install so it was first think about.

Searced my index.php and found that it has folllowing mods

	if ( (!isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'])) || (!ereg('^[1-8][ad]$', $HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'])) ...

I changed it to orig

	if ( (!isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'])) || (!ereg('^[1-8][ad]', $HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'])) ...

 

But reason of error is here

Missed

 $listing_sql .= ' order by ';

 

but

 

	} else {
  $sort_col = substr($HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'], 0 , 1);
  $sort_order = substr($HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'], 1);

  switch ($column_list[$sort_col-1]) {
//sort order
	case 'PRODUCT_LIST_SORT_ORDER':
	  $listing_sql .= "p.products_sort_order , pd.products_name " . ($sort_order == 'a' ? 'asc' : '');
	  break;
//end sort order
	case 'PRODUCT_LIST_MODEL':
	  $listing_sql .= " order by p.products_model " . ($sort_order == 'd' ? 'desc' : '') . ", pd.products_name";
	  break;
	case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME':
	  $listing_sql .= " order by pd.products_name " . ($sort_order == 'd' ? 'desc' : '');
	  break;
	case 'PRODUCT_LIST_MANUFACTURER':
	  $listing_sql .= " order by m.manufacturers_name " . ($sort_order == 'd' ? 'desc' : '') . ", pd.products_name";
	  break;
	case 'PRODUCT_LIST_QUANTITY':
	  $listing_sql .= " order by p.products_quantity " . ($sort_order == 'd' ? 'desc' : '') . ", pd.products_name";
	  break;
	case 'PRODUCT_LIST_IMAGE':
	  $listing_sql .= " order by pd.products_name";
	  break;
	case 'PRODUCT_LIST_WEIGHT':
	  $listing_sql .= " order by p.products_weight " . ($sort_order == 'd' ? 'desc' : '') . ", pd.products_name";
	  break;
	case 'PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE':
	  $listing_sql .= " order by final_price " . ($sort_order == 'd' ? 'desc' : '') . ", pd.products_name";
	  break;
  }
}

 

So, solution is either to modify

//sort order
	case 'PRODUCT_LIST_SORT_ORDER':
	  $listing_sql .= "order by p.products_sort_order , pd.products_name " . ($sort_order == 'a' ? 'asc' : '');
	  break;
//end sort order

 

or to restore

 

 $listing_sql .= ' order by ';

and remove "order by"

from every line

 

Error is gone

Should look like this:

...

 

Just in case this helps anyone. I installed Sort Order 1_2_3 carefully and was able to use the "back end" features, but like several others I was not seeing any change in my front-end displays.

 

I think I made Beer Monster's "order by" fix to index.php and nothing changed.(but see below)

 

I removed the database changes (which I had done directly) and re-did them by pasting the text commands into my SQL window (I feel stupid but thanks for showing me that trick) -and still nothing changed.

 

Then I went back to the product list and hit the "Sort Order" button again. I was a litle surprised to see that that zeroed out my previous sequence, but after I re-entered a fresh sort-sequence, and hit save sort order... voila, the sequence is now correct at the front end of my site.

 

UNFORTUNATELY:

Every time a customer tried to get to a second page of products under any of my site's categories, there was an SQL error message:

- You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'order by p.products_sort_order , pd.products_name asc limit 20,

 

select p.products_image, pd.products_name, p.products_sort_order, p.products_id, p.manufacturers_id, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, IF(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, NULL) as specials_new_products_price, IF(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as final_price from products_description pd, products p left join manufacturers m on p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id left join specials s on p.products_id = s.products_id, products_to_categories p2c where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.language_id = '1' and p2c.categories_id = '33' order by order by p.products_sort_order , pd.products_name asc limit 20, 20

 

It certainly looked as if the problem was my addition of "order by" to the line

 $listing_sql .= "p.products_sort_order , pd.products_name " . ($sort_order == 'a' ? 'asc' : '');

..so I took it out again (reverting to the original Sort Order 1_2_3 contribution).

And now everything (at last) works fine.

 

Potential moral of this story --if you don't see a proper sort order on your front end-- before you go looking for installation errors, try erasing, re-entering and re-saving your sequence.

 

Thanks much for the contribution. It certainly beats my antique SQL-ophobic workaround from '03 (=inserting invisible numbers before every product name ;o)

I'm glad you got it to work. It's amazing how difficult it is to predict what kind of problems people are going to have when you are creating a contribution. I remember going through the instructions for this on a vanilla install to make sure it worked perfectly before uploading it but of course everyones e-shop is unique in some way, so there are always new and unexpected problems. Thankfully most of these problems can be fixed with a bit of perseverence.

 

It takes a lot of effort to turn a modification into good quality contribution that others can use but positive feedback makes it worthwhile!

Ok, i just added this and uploaded. When i clicked on the category option in the admin panel to test it out i get this error:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/punkbaby/public_html/shop/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 1314

 

I've double checked on the general.php page and everything is copied right. What else could be the problem?

 

One thought on what could be an issue:

 

This was my first time making changes to the database in myphpadmin. I didn't know the 2 items for the database changes were to be added together so i did them each separate. Is that a problem? If so, how do i fix it.

 

Any other thoughts on what I might be doing wrong here?

After successful application of a products sort I decided to add a categories sort.

I like to say that categories sort function fine now meanwhile I lost ability to sort products. I still

able to enter to product sort mode at admin/categories.php.... =beginsort and change

numbers but on the save sort - new settings are not apply, no errors, it just back to "before"

settings.

Would be grateful for advice where to look to fix problem

 

many thanks

Hi, this contribution looks like exactly what I need and reading through the forum I see there are many happy users.

 

I've had a couple of goes at installing it - everything in admin looks fine and new order is shown there, however when I look at the 'public' view it's made no difference. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance
