Extra Fields: Creating and making available for all Providers.
 

As the admin to the store, I would like to create some extra fields and make them something that shows up to each provider when they are adding a new product. I know that providers can create their own 'extra fields', which is really not the way I want it. I want to create the specified extra fields in the admin area and have them be fields that the providers have to fill in when they add a product to their store.

Is this possible? Any help or suggestions would be great! :)

Thank you.

Maybe as an option to make the automatic generation - "Extra Fields" for each new product?
Take the reference product and has copied all "Extra" fields for each new product.

Thanks for the reply Yurij. Unfortunately, you completely lost me. I've got about 18 hours sleep since last Friday because I've been trying to get the store up and functioning properly so maybe I've just got loopy and have lost the ability to understand. ??!! (Just Kidding) 8O

Really though, I don't understand what you mean with your post. Can you clarify??

THANK YOU!!! :D

To what you want to do will require some changes in the X-Cart.

1. Automatic created for each product list - "Extra fields."
2. The ban on the disposal of providers "Extra fields", established in paragraph № 1.
3. Editing list (add, edit, delete) "Extra fileds" established in paragraph № 1.

Maybe we should add a field not through "Extra fields? Add them through the table "product" This looks easier.

Then you should modify the database and one / two files (tpl-php)!

Yuri,

YES! This is exactly what I would like to do. I have NO idea how to modify the database, but I'm not afraid to try if I get exact instructions. And, which templates would I have to modify and what would I have them say?

THANK YOU! I really look forward to your reply. This is excactly what I need and I'm sure there are others who need the same thing as wel.

I will try to help you during the next week. Just at that time are no longer free.

Re: Extra Fields: Creating and making available for all Providers.
 

That's fine. Thank you. ;) Talk to you soon!

Re: Extra Fields: Creating and making available for all Providers.
 

There is a solution to your problem:

We allow only one provider to change "Extra-Fileds", while other providers can only fill "Extra-Fileds" in the creation of their product.


The obligatory initial condition - no "Extra-Fileds" for all providers.


The order changes:
1. Create the backup site :)

2. Create provider (We need to know his login). You can use the provider, established by default (login: provider).

3. Edit file "modules/Extra_Fields/extra_fields.php",

Find the following line:

And replaced by:

Re: Extra Fields: Creating and making available for all Providers.
 

4. Edit file "provider/extra_fields.php":

after this lines:

Insert the following line:

PS. .......$login!="provider"....
If the username "provider who can edit "Extra Fileds" no "provider", change this condition (Replace the "provider" for your provider login).

5. Edit file "skin1/provider/menu.tpl":

find this lines:

and replace them with this:

PS. .......and $login eq "provider"....
If the username "provider who can edit "Extra Fileds" no "provider", change this condition (Replace the "provider" for your provider login).


If you have any difficulty or questions, I am here. :)


Total:
- We allowed only one provider to work with "Extra-fileds".
- All providers see the same set of "Extra-fileds" when working with the product.
