Removig SKU Prefix
 

Does anynoe know how to remove the "SKU" prfix that x-cart adds to the product sku when creating a new product? I can fined the text label and the also the product code in the templates but I can find no reference to the "SKU" characters anywhere....

Thanks,
Rich

SKU prefix? X-Cart only creates a product id...the SKU is up to you.

sorry double post

Ahhh..not sure. You could use webmaster mode to track down the template...that will give you a start....

the sku "SKU16432" highlighted in the attached photo was auto generated. All I have done here is to create a new product - NO DATA of any typ has been entered.

I want to get rid of the "SKU" prefix (the three characters themselves)

X-cart produced the SKU16432

Any thoughts? I can not find it anywhere. PHP or templates.

Thanks,
Rich

got it
 

GOT IT

include\product_modify.php

Line 574 $SKU_prefix='SKU'

i just deleted the SKU and all works well

so i now have

$SKU_prefix=''

Removing the whole auto SKU generation
 

Tweak as above plus:


ORIGINAL:
Line 579 $product_info['productcode'] = $sku_prefix.($product_info['productcode']+$plus);


NEW:
Line 579 $product_info['productcode'] = '';

NOTE those are two single quotes in the replacement code. Additionally I would comment out the original line 579 then insert the adjusted code.

R.

Works greatly. Thanks.
