I thought I'd save other people click and waiting time. When I was editing product variant quantities or variant prices I had to click the product first...wait for page to load... then click product variants... wait for page to load. So I added a direct link from the search page in admin.

Edit /skin/common_files/main/products.tpl

Find line:

PHP Code:

<td width="100%">{if $products[prod].main eq "Y" or $main ne "category_products"}<b>{/if}<a href="product_modify.php?productid={$products[prod].productid}{if $navpage}&amp;page={$navpage}{/if}">{$products[prod].product}</a>{if $products[prod].main eq "Y" or $main ne "category_products"}</b>{/if}</td> 


Change to:

PHP Code:

<td width="100%">{if $products[prod].main eq "Y" or $main ne "category_products"}<b>{/if}<a href="product_modify.php?productid={$products[prod].productid}{if $navpage}&amp;page={$navpage}{/if}">{$products[prod].product}</a> {if $products[prod].is_variants eq 'Y'} | <a href="product_modify.php?productid={$products[prod].productid}&section=variants">Variants</a>{/if} {if $products[prod].main eq "Y" or $main ne "category_products"}</b>{/if}</td>

Here's also something that saved me some time editing variants. When I am entering numbers I usually go down the column and put all the item codes in first then the next column. But I have to click each one. So I used the tabindex code so you can tab down the column instead of tabbing to the next field on the right.

Edit /skin/your_skin/modules/Product_Options/product_variants.tpl

Find:

PHP Code:

<td class="DataTable"><input type="text" size="10" name="vs[{$k}][productcode]" value="{$v.productcode|escape}" maxlength="32"{if $v.sku_err} class="error-field"{/if} /></td>
  <td class="DataTable"><input type="text" size="5" name="vs[{$k}][weight]" value="{$v.weight|formatprice}" /></td>
  <td class="DataTable"><input type="text" size="5" name="vs[{$k}][avail]" value="{$v.avail|formatnumeric}" /></td>
  <td nowrap="nowrap" class="DataTable"><input type="text" size="7" name="vs[{$k}][price]" value="{$v.price|formatprice}" /> 


Change to:

PHP Code:

<td class="DataTable"><input tabindex="1{$k}" type="text" size="10" name="vs[{$k}][productcode]" value="{$v.productcode|escape}" maxlength="32"{if $v.sku_err} class="error-field"{/if} /></td>
  <td class="DataTable"><input tabindex="2{$k}" type="text" size="5" name="vs[{$k}][weight]" value="{$v.weight|formatprice}" /></td>
  <td class="DataTable"><input tabindex="3{$k}" type="text" size="5" name="vs[{$k}][avail]" value="{$v.avail|formatnumeric}" /></td>
  <td nowrap="nowrap" class="DataTable"><input tabindex="4{$k}" type="text" size="7" name="vs[{$k}][price]" value="{$v.price|formatprice}" />
