Duplicate Info From Custom Field
 

Hi there,

I created a custom text field below Detailed Description to make it easier to display different types of information, it all works fine, but when I select a list of products and go to Modify Selected and check my custom field to get saved for all the rest items, it▓s not saving. Where do I missed something?

It could be in the template code. Paste your template code Just the section around where you made the change, include the previous field and the following field. I'll take a look.

Thanks for your time Mike!

/1/ Created a new column in xcart_products_lng_en mysql table, called custom_text.


/2/ admin/product_modify.php

$trusted_post_variables = array(
'product_lng',
'descr',
'fulldescr',
'posted_data',
'js_code',
'efields',
'custom_text', /** MY CUSTOM FIELD **/
);


/3/ include/product_modify.php

// Fill all languages by default
$int_descr_data = array(
'productid' => $productid,
'product' => $product,
'descr' => $descr,
'fulldescr' => $fulldescr,
'keywords' => $keywords,
'custom_text' /** MY CUSTOM FIELD **/
);

// Update product/descr/fulldescr/keywords
$int_descr_data = array(
'product' => $product,
'descr' => $descr,
'fulldescr' => $fulldescr,
'keywords' => $keywords,
'custom_text' /** MY CUSTOM FIELD **/
);

// Update international descriptions
$int_descr_data = array();
foreach ($query_data as $k => $v) {
if (in_array($k, array('product', 'descr', 'fulldescr', 'keywords', 'custom_text')))
…
func_unset($query_data, 'product', 'descr', 'fulldescr', 'keywords', 'custom_text');
…


/4/ include/product_clone.php

// Update just created product by values from existing product
$query = array();
foreach ($product_info as $k=>$v) {
if (
!is_numeric($k)
&& !in_array($k, array('productid', 'productcode', 'provider', 'add_date', 'views_stats', 'del_stats', 'sales_stats', 'product', 'descr', 'fulldescr', 'keywords', 'custom_text'))
) {
$query[$k] = addslashes($v);
}
}

You have it coded to save for the product itself but not for when it is multiple products. It is in the same product_modify.php and applies for $geid

It's far easier to modify Extra Fields to allow more characters than to build your own Extra Fields system.
