Guest wittmerj Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hello, I some need help here.. How do I sort products out? I'm building a cartridge shop. (vers.4) Example: Category : Xerox Products : about a hundred I need to enter my products all at once unordered. I then need to arrange products by Xerox printer models (Docuprint XJ4, XJ6,..) and cartridge color. (C, M, Y & Black) How do I do this? For categories it works out well. For products I can't find anything to rearrange... Thanks in advance, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brivtech Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'm a little confused as to what the problem is here. You sell loads of different cartridges, for loads of different printers. I can think of 2 ways or organising this: Printer make > Printer Model > Cartridges (Products) or Printer Make > Printer Model Cartridges (Product) > Colour/type (Product Option). I'd go with the first, as the cartridges probably all feature codes and would be better in the search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wittmerj Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks for your message Brivtech, I'm actually selling the refill ink bottles for cartridges. Not the cartridges themself. The issue is the following: I have to enter about 2300 different ink bottles all at once. And then sort them out. see: http://www.cartouchedencre.ch/ Sorting them out by Category (Xerox, HP, etc.) is not an issue. The real issue to have move my products up and down on the listings. Example: HP no25 Color 30ml HP no25 Black 30ml HP no22 Color 30ml HP no22 Black 30ml HP no25 Color 40ml HP no25 Black 40ml HP no22 Color 40ml HP no22 Black 40ml Now, I'd like to move all HP no25 together.... and this is not possible in products. :-( How I'd like it to be: HP no25 Color 30ml HP no25 Black 30ml HP no25 Color 40ml HP no25 Black 40ml HP no22 Color 30ml HP no22 Black 30ml HP no22 Color 40ml HP no22 Black 40ml Presently, the only way I heard of is entering the Xerox printer models into subcategories. Xerox/printer XJ4/products (such as Black ink 20ml, Color ink 20ml, Black ink 30ml, Color ink 30ml, Color ink 50ml, Black ink 50ml, etc..) That's the only solution support staff gave me. Products apparently cannot be moved up and down listings. Hope this gives you a better idea of the problem here. Conclusion: Be very careful : enter your products in the right order in your rows or else you'll have to start the job all over again if there's a mistake.

Ausy Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 There is a mod for this. Head over to cubecartforums.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brivtech Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 AH! I see, so you simply want to be able to change the order of the products when displayed in category view. Have you considered sorting them alphabetically, which from what I can see would list like cartridges together as given by your example? All that would be required would be a simple one-line change to the code to change the "ORDER BY". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wittmerj Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi All, I'll go and check the forums. And I'll try to prearrange them by order numbers too :-) Thanks everybody for your help :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, What code change would I need to do to get products showing up alphabetically and on which file? I assume it is in viewCat.tpl around lines 43 & 46: <a href="index.php?_a=viewProd&productId={PRODUCT_ID}" target="_self"> So would it be change to: <a href="index.php?_a=viewProd&productName={PRODUCT_NAME}" target="_self"> ?????
