Admin Quick Find Togglable Panel

1 Attachment(s)

A quick little v4.4.x - v4.7.x admin mod that shows a useful toggleable panel for regularly used admin search sections that might save a few clicks...

The panel can be toggleable (default) or shown at all times and you can show or hide the languages field (see settings at the top of quick_find.tpl).

1) Upload attached quick_find.tpl to skin/common_files

2) In skin/common_files/admin/home.tpl and skin/common_files/single/home.tpl

Before...

Code:

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

Insert...

Code:

{* Quick Find Admin Panel *}

{include file="quick_find.tpl"}

{* / Quick Find Admin Panel *}

3) See this post for the manufacturers dropdown.

Installed it with ease. I know it only saves seconds but those seconds will add up to a huge amount eventually! It'll also come in handy when a user calls up as you can quickly search via order ID to locate them.

Changing/Finding products is easier as it saves you a few clicks. It would be silly not to use this mod really as it takes 2 minutes to install and it's FREE.

Overall it'll make tasks easier and quicker so I'll be using it a lot.

I do suggest to add a 'Search' button though.

Thanks Phil,

Re: Admin Quick Find Togglable Panel

Awesome mod. Easy installation.

Trying to get it to work on 4.5.5 Gold, having two errors. When toggler is set to hide, the click does not actually show anything, instead I'm getting an error in the java code (see below). Also, the manufacturers list is limited to only the # of manufacturers in the "Manufacturers list limit (leave empty if unlimited)" value from the Manufacturers module.

Code:

 Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a functionsearch.php?mode=search&page=1:527 (anonymous function)jquery-min.js:2 f.extend._Deferred.e.resolveWithjquery-min.js:2 e.extend.readyjquery-min.js:2 c.addEventListener.C

Hi Marcello, perhaps try upgrading your version of jQuery to say, v1.8.3, which should be safe to use.

skin/common_files/lib/jquery-min.js

https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js

Yes, it will limit the manufs according to the manuf module setting.

1) Create & upload new PHP file /modules/Manufacturers/quick_find.php

Code:

<?php

$limit = 9999;

$qry = "SELECT manufacturerid, manufacturer FROM $sql_tbl[manufacturers] ORDER BY manufacturer ASC LIMIT $limit";

$result = db_query($qry);

while ($result_row = db_fetch_array($result)) {

    $manufacturers[] = $result_row;

}

$smarty->assign("manufacturers_quickfind",$manufacturers);

?>

2) In /admin/auth.php

Before...

Code:

include $xcart_dir . '/include/get_language.php';

Insert...

Code:

// Quick Find Admin Panel

include $xcart_dir . '/modules/Manufacturers/quick_find.php';

3) In /skin/common_files/quick_find.tpl replace...

Code:

            {section name=mid loop=$manufacturers_menu}

            <option value="{$manufacturers_menu[mid].manufacturerid}">{$manufacturers_menu[mid].manufacturer}</option>

            {/section}

With...

Code:

            {section name=mid loop=$manufacturers_quickfind}

            <option value="{$manufacturers_quickfind[mid].manufacturerid}">{$manufacturers_quickfind[mid].manufacturer}</option>

            {/section}

Re: Admin Quick Find Togglable Panel

We had an issue with this working in IE & FireFox. I think the issue was because of the ToggleClass('expanded'), in IE/FireFox, it requires the div "toggler" to have "overflow:hidden;" in the CSS style.

It wouldn't expand on those two browsers until we added that. Then again, it might have been because we messed with the CSS initially.

Re: Admin Quick Find Togglable Panel

Phil,
This is very nice tweak. Saves lots very unnecessary clicks :)
I guess it will soon become default x-cart option ;-)

I upgraded jquery-min.js to 1.8.3 as mentioned above.
Everything is working fine on my test localhost store with XAMPP

Just one error shows admin

I am not able to paste here the entire line no 126 code of file %%8B^8B4^8B45DCD5%%orders_list.tpl.php because of notepad++ shows some nul sign just before "lambda_14($_tmp)); ?>"

I have attached screenshot for better review of code.

Do you have any idea why I am getting this error ?

Re: Admin Quick Find Togglable Panel

Have you got Webmaster mode enabled? Perhaps that's why.

Same error on live server ! :(
No idea exactly

Also can you please tell me how to display quick find toggle panel only Admin page & not on every pages ?
Bcoz I have around 2500+ manufactures so I don't want to load them on each and every page every time. Just need to use toggle panel from admin's home only. ;-)

Re: Admin Quick Find Togglable Panel

Re. your error, I would check the error logs in var/log

If you want to display it on admin homepage only, in step 2, I think you can use...

Code:

{* Quick Find Admin Panel *}

{if $main eq "top_info"}

{include file="quick_find.tpl"}

{/if}

{* / Quick Find Admin Panel *}

New version that remembers the quick view panel state with a cookie... just replace skin/common_files/quick_find.tpl with attached.

Just one thing, on my site the Products pulldown triggers a search which returns all items.

New version, which can be fluid or fixed width, plus the toggle button is moved to the admin top header menu...

1) Upload attached quick_find.tpl to skin/common_files

2) At the end of skin/common_files/head_admin.tpl

INSERT...

Code:

{* Quick Find Admin Panel *}

{include file="admin/quick_find.tpl"}

{* / Quick Find Admin Panel *}

3) In skin/common_files/admin/goodies.tpl

BEFORE...

Code:

<li class="orange">

INSERT...

Code:

{* Quick Find Admin Panel *}

<li class="orange qf_toggler" title="Quick Find">

<a href='javascript:;' class="qf_toggler_icon"><i class="fa fa-search-plus fa-flip-horizontal"></i></a>

</li>

{* / Quick Find Admin Panel *}

Done.

Note the options at the top of quick_find.tpl

Quote:

{*-------------------------------*}
{* Set Width - eg. 97% or 1366px *}
{*-------------------------------*}

{assign var='qf_width' value="97%"}

{*-------------------------------*}
{* Show Languages Field - true or false *}
{*-------------------------------*}

{assign var='qf_languages' value=true}
