Rearranging the product order

Hyperdelicious · #1 11-01-2002, 08:44 AM

===============================================

While i'm here let me also ask is there a way to rearrange the order of
the products. I have tried editing the SQL database but I end up having
to change several fields in the db and reload images. Is their an easier
way. Such as the organizing of catagories and option ( simply assigning
it a numerical value )?

---------------------------------------------------------------THANKS-----------

Hi Hyperdelicious,

When you go to Modify Products in the admin control panel, change the "Pos." # of the product..that will position them the way you want.

I'm sorry but when under the modify product section the only reference to Pos. is in the Product options... I need to rearrange the products themselves. Any other thoughts or suggestions or perhaps I'm overlooking something.

----------------------------------------------------------THANKS-----------------

Ok try this...

Go to Search Products, choose a category, click search

The "Pos." column will be there. Just enter a number for how you want them to be ordered and click update. It works I promise.

Sorry, but I am not seeing it. The only fields that are available are:
ID, Product, Quantity, Shop price, and Your price. Any other thoughts?

Hi Hyperdelicious

Have you amended the template that displays the stock listing in the shop admin centre, because it should show the POS column before the QUANTITY when you search a product?

I believe this is in the product.tpl file

Sorry I couldn't help on this - have you tried the technical support team? - They are excellent.

Hyperdelicious,

What version of X-Cart are you using? I believe the position function was not available prior to version 3.1.2.

In version 3.1.2 you should be able to do the following:

1. Login to the admin section of your script

2. From within the admin, on the left hand menu, within the "Products" section, choose "Search Products".

3. On the "Search Products" screen simply make your category selections and click the "search" button. This will bring up all your products.

4. You will be presented with a list of all the products within the selected category.

5. The fields will be as follows: ID, Product, Pos., Quantity, Shop Price, Your Price.

6. The field that controls product position is Pos.

7. Order your products as 1, 2, 3, etc., in the order in which you want them to appear.

Hope that helps,
