The following instruction in Product Attributes - Option Type Feature (OTF) v. 2.02
Manual Installation breaks the store. Uncomment that line to fix it.


Open catalog/shopping_cart.php

----------------------
FIND: (around line 81)

echo tep_draw_hidden_field('id[' . $products[$i]['id'] . '][' . $option . ']', $value);

REPLACE with (comment out)

- Modified to work with OsCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2 RC2a
- Adjusted some variables and lines
- Fixed some codes to work properly

- However, there is still a bug with original files which I'm unable to solve until now.

(BUG: It's when you add a product in cart and press "UPDATE", the text of custom TEXT/TEXTARAE field disappears. Anyone to fix that?)

these fixes will make it possible so that the attributes will retain values if present in the URL.

Mainly for when you link from the shopping_cart.php back to the product_info.php, values are passed.

These fixes make sure they are displayed correctly.

Based on v2.02 add fixes for text amd textarea option types. Better handling with the 'values' fields and some minor layout issue's on admin side.
Notice i do not expect this version to be flawless but at least it saves you a few days of analysing raw sql errors. As next step it would be nice to replace the included source files with ms2.2rc2 versions, anyone?

Recent editions of OTF don't include a line in includes/classes/shopping_cart.php that was present in earlier versions of OTF. The absence of this line makes it impossible for customers to delete items from their cart if one of the OTF text fields is populated by a value that includes either an apostrophe or quote marks. I haven't checked all versions, but I know this fix applies to 2.02, 2.01, and several of the manual installs.

That's all. Enjoy.

Files packaged for overwriting fresh MS2.2 install with SQL file.

Also includes jsruok's Manual Installation instructions

Fixed typos, added comments.

(This file combines "Show attribute name properly 1.1" by me and "Update to Manual Installation" by PD_Steve, and adds one more thing in checkout_process.php to properly store the attributes in the database.

Code includes comments marking beginning and end of each update, and maintains the original code (commented out).)

small fix so if product is clicked in cart the textarea will retain values from url.
still trying to fix radio buttons and checkboxes.

textbox and drop-downs already work.

PS. Thanks to Pawel Suwinski for vanishing attributes on update fix!!

And ones more, diff file did not include full paths to files (order.php -> includes/classes/order.php). Caused by fancy svn diff output :|. Sorry.


ps. There should be some way to delete own garbage posts in contributions :|. Is there any?

Hello

I realized that previous contribution was not complete. It did not include order part. This is final version. If someone find any issue please let me know.

Someone ask me how to use the attachment. So, it is unified diff format from my svn repository. If patching does not work for you (`cd Osc_dir; patch -p0 < /path/to/file.diff` - try it with your test osC instance!) you may do it manual. It is not hard, especially that contribution is rather short:

Hello

I am setting osC for printing house, and I needed some way to recalculate price depends on more than one text value (number of copies and number of pages). PA-OTF was good starting point. There were just need to add simply modification. Patch is in attachment.

It works that way, that quantity is multiply by every input text value which product attribute has prefix set to '*' .

Hello

After patching osC 2.2 with last PA-OTF I have noticed that quantity update in shopping_cart.php is broken. After updating all attributes vanished (?). I found in application_top.php some issue in /case 'update_product'/ part. $attributes doesn't use that fancy '+++N' and it should be:

(near 360 line)

$attributes = ($HTTP_POST_VARS['id'][$HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'][$i].'+++'.$i]) ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['id'][$HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'][$i].'+++'.$i] : '';

Hello


After patching my osC with last OTF I have noticed that quantity update in shopping_cart.php doesn't work properly (?). After quantity updating whole attributes vanished (text one and any others).

Looking through source code I find some issue in application_top.php in the /case 'update_product' / part.

$attributes didn't use that fancy '+++N' and it should be:

$attributes =($HTTP_POST_VARS['id'][$HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'][$i].'+++'.$i]) ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['id'][$HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'][$i].'+++'.$i] : '';


After that it works fine. But I didn't fix case of PHP_VERSION<4. If I have some time, I will look into and send some. Unless some one will be faster than me :).


If I am wrong with this issue, please correct me. I am supprised that only I have noticed that. Maybe I did some bug somewhere else and that why it doesn't work for me (?).

This file combines "Show attribute name properly 1.1" by me and "Update to Manual Installation" by PD_Steve, and adds one more thing in checkout_process.php to properly store the attributes in the database.

Also, the updated code now includes comments marking beginning and end of each update, and maintains the original code (commented out).

Sql should be without any reference to customers_basket_attributes table.

Manual installation has instructions to update attribute value ($attr_value) in shopping_cart.php and includes/classes/order.php. This works just fine, but in some cases attribute *name* does not come out right. Just add the following code (in both files) after the first $attr_value assignment to show name.

$attr_name_sql_raw = 'SELECT po.products_options_name FROM ' .
TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . ' po, ' .
TABLE_CUSTOMERS_BASKET_ATTRIBUTES . ' cba, ' .
TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . ' pa WHERE ' .
' pa.products_id="' . $products[$i]['id'] . '" AND ' .
' pa.products_id="' . $products[$i]['id'] . '" AND ' .
' pa.options_id="' . $option . '" AND ' .
' pa.options_id=po.products_options_id AND ' .
' po.language_id="' . $languages_id . '" AND ' .
' cba.products_id="' . $products[$i]['id'] . '" AND ' .
' cba.products_options_value_id="' . $value . '"';
$attr_name_sql = tep_db_query($attr_name_sql_raw);
if ($arr = tep_db_fetch_array($attr_name_sql)) {
$attr_name = $arr['products_options_name'];
}

Also remember to set default value for $attr_name in the else clause, say,
$attr_name = $attributes_values['products_options_name'];
in shopping_cart.php, and
$attr_name = $attributes['products_options_name'];
in includes/classes/order.php.

Then, in shopping_cart.php, replace
'option' => $$attributes_values['products_options_name'],
with
//'option' => $$attributes_values['products_options_name'],
'option' => $attr_name,
and in includes/classes/order.php, replace
'option' => $$attributes['products_options_name'],
with
//'option' => $$attributes['products_options_name'],
'option' => $attr_name,

That should fix the name issue.

I was having trouble getting text entries to write to the database when using the paypal ipn module but after 3 hours I figured it out.
in catalog\includes\modules\payment paypal_ipn.php

changle line 254
which looks like this:
'products_options_values' => $attributes_values['products_options_values_name'],

to this:

'products_options_values' => $order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['value'],

Many thanks to Zaxxon for identifying a missing addition. This has now been included in the install text.

The missing section was in includes/functions/general.php

You need to add the following function before the final ?>

// Decode string encoded with htmlspecialchars()
function tep_decode_specialchars($string){
$string=str_replace('&gt;', '>', $string);
$string=str_replace('&lt;', '<', $string);
$string=str_replace('&#039;', "'", $string);
$string=str_replace('&quot;', """, $string);
$string=str_replace('&amp;', '&', $string);

return $string;
}

Manual Installation notes now include this addendum. Please let me know if any other problems are found while doing this install and I'll be only to happy to assist.

For anyone using a modified version of OsCommerce, I have created a text file which shows all the changes you need to make to each file to get this installed.

This is fully tested as I used these instructions to install the package myself

This is not a full package

Added lines 39 and 40 on catalog/admin/product_attributes.php

which make it so you no longer have to update the products_options_values_to_products_options table manually.

Each time a new textbox, checkbox or textarea option is added, a 'TEXT' entry is put into that database.

Also, the link to the support forum is:

Changelog :

- fixed product_info.php page line 27 : dropped opening html comment tag that has no closing tag (oeps..shame on me :-( )
- fixed /admin/products_attributes.php (added lines 418 and 419) : when creating a new option, you can enter immediately the type and length. Thanks to Scott Moore for this bug report.

Version v1.6 has been updated to include textarea option type fields so that text is not limited anymore to 32 characters. This new feature has been requested *a lot* on the support thread.

This is the changelog for v1.7 :

- Updated file "ReadMe.html" to include correct information on new textarea type option (read Step 4)
- /includes/configure.php : added new value 'PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_TEXTAREA (4)'.
- changed column datatype of customers_basket_attributes.products_options_value_text from varchar(32) to "text".
- added admin support of fields products_options_length and products_options_comment (no need anymore to update the database manually).
- added javascript "Form Field Progress bar" to indicate how many characters are left for the customer to type. The size is determined by the 'products_options_length' field. THanks to Dynamic Drive for this script (http://www.dynamicdrive.com).
- added stylesheet.css in package : needed for javascript Form Field Progress bar (new style '.progress')
- includes price tax fix of 26.07.2004 by Patrick_S
- includes dutch language file for admin/producs_attributes.php (thanks to Stef Verlint)

This is my thirst contribution for oscommerce.

*********************************
Dutch products_attributes.php for 1.6 release

This is the translated products_attributes.php for the adminincludeslanguagesdutchproducts_attributes.php

Just copy directory structure to your catalog folder.

All credits go to: Chandra Roukema for making this great contribution.

All I did was the translation.

Enjoy it and let me know what you think of it.

Änderungen in der product_info.php damit der Preis der neuen Produkt_Attribute
inkl. Steuern angezeigt werden:

vorher:
$product_info_values['products_tax_class_id'])

jetzt:
tep_get_tax_rate($product_info['products_tax_class_id']))

.................................................................................

Changes in "product_info.php" to Display the Price of the new Product_Attrib with current Tax:

old:
$product_info_values['products_tax_class_id'])

new:
tep_get_tax_rate($product_info['products_tax_class_id']))

I think there is a small section of code that is repeated and does not get called because the array is not reset.

v1.6 includes a ReadMe.html updated to explain how to use radio buttons and checkboxes with the contribution.

This page includes a link to a demo store using the contribution http://www.OpenStoreSolutions.com/option_type_contribution.php

v1.5 upgrades the feature to the osc 2.2 ms2 code base. v1.5 also includes support for radio buttons and checkboxes in addition to text options.

v1.4 upgrades the feature to the osc 2.2 ms1 code base. v1.4 also includes for the first time an interface for setting the option type of an option. See the Release Notes and Read Me file for more information.

V1.3 upgrades the option type feature to the January 7th, 2003 snapshot of osCommerce. It also fixes a couple of bugs.

V1.2 upgrades the option type feature to the October 20th, 2002 snapshot of osCommerce.

Here is the description of the original contribution:

The purpose of this contribution is to allow the use of various option types
when setting up product attributes. With the current CVS version of
osCommerce, all options are displayed with select lists for user input. This
contribution specifically adds the ability to display options with text input
boxes. This allows a store owner to collect customization/personalization
information for a product from the end user. The contribution is written in
such a way that the addition of other option types such as Radio Buttons should
be reasonably simple to add.

V1.1 fixes several bugs (most notable is the text option display in the confirmation email) and adds a few new features like the ability to set a max length for text options and the ability to add comments to options.
