When using variants, showing main SKU in product lists
 

Hi. I searched the forum but couldn't find the exact solution to this problem. Please forgive if I'm repeating a past post.

We're a clothing company, so we use variants for our products. When listing products on search result and category/subcat pages, the default SKU number that is pulled for $products[product].product is the SKU for the first product variant, not the "root" SKU for the product.

So, for a product with "root" SKU CZ-0012 that has variant SKUs CZ-0012-BL, CZ-0012-RD etc., the product list will show the SKU CZ-0012-BL. I want it to show the "root" SKU CZ-0012.

Which file would I need to edit to do this and how?

Exact same issue ..

Did you ever get an answer on this?

Anyone?

Best,

Harold ...

I have seen this same topic, also unanswered, in another thread. I found a workaround for one site I'm doing, but this probably wouldn't work for most. Because these particular products don't really need short descriptions, I am using the root sku as the short description and displaying that code, not the sku code. That is, instead of
{$products[product].productcode}

I am using
{$products[product].product}

This isn't the greatest solution, because a lot of people need those short descriptions for what they're meant for. I'd like to find something more correct.

Showing main SKU - solution!
 

I just got an answer from x-cart on this one. In include/search.php, comment out the two places where occurs.

Save your 25 points and read it here!

Has anyone been successful with finding the code for v4.1.9 to achieve the same results as above?

Re: When using variants, showing main SKU in product lists
 

Does anyone have a suggestion to display the root sku (part number) on the product.tpl and products_t.tpl pages for variants. I checked in my include/search.php and the only reference close to the above code by proboscidian is $sql_tbl[variants].productid:

$left_joins["variants"] = array(
"on" => "$sql_tbl[variants].productid = $sql_tbl[products].productid AND $sql_tbl[quick_prices].variantid = $sql_tbl[variants].variantid",
"parent" => "quick_prices"
);


Once a product variant is selected and the customer adds to cart for checkout, then the variant sku number is fine to display.

Bump. Has anyone made a change to display the root sku on the product.tpl and products_t.tpl pages for variants?

hi all,

Current X-Cart logic is:
when product has Variants then it use the first variant SKU for showing at product detail

new login we need is:
showing main SKU instead of showing first Variant SKU


my Solution:

- FILE: \wholesale\include\func\func.product.php



FUNCTION: func_select_product

LINE: around 1049 √


what you should do is:



you should comment the line



also :

in \skin\"your skin name"\customer\main\product_details.tpl

line: find the table row that shows the productcode and remove the "id=product_code" attribute of TD tag.

i think its not true for deleteing this attribute and we should find that where at the code side it set the value for this id.
