THANK YOU for that information! I have been searching around for a way to add fields to the inventory update function for a while now.
However, I'm not sure if it addresses my problem above.
The brand information is already in the xcart database Б─⌠ I put it there using a phpMyAdmin-style solution. I found this bit of code at the end of search.php which came from Tuner's mod.
Code:
$brands = func_query("select brand from $sql_tbl[products] where brand <> '' GROUP BY brand");
$smarty->assign("brands",$brands);
I am guessing that this creates the list of brands for the pull-down menu in my advanced_search.tpl. In the advanced_search.tpl I have the following code to create the menu:
Code:
<select name=search_brand>
<option value="">None</option>
{section name=i loop=$brands}
<option value='{$brands[i].0}'>{$brands[i].0}</option>
{/section}
</select>
However, this doesn't seem to be working. I have 3 different brands throughout my entire store, and the menu contains only 3 blank choices in addition to "None". Somehow the {section} is getting the right number of brands, but not the actual values. What am I missing?
Thanks
