[osCmax v2.5x] Adding Text Imprint to osCmax 2.5

[pgmarshall]

Just so everyone is aware ... Imprint is a temporary stop gap coded up for osCmax by Ridex ... it works well and will achieve the required outcome ...

However, we are aiming to get full attribute options into AJAX Attribute manager in a similar manner to the current - Select, Radio and Checkbox. However, if the code is incompatible we can fall back on Ridex's excellent work.

But you should all be aware that this will not be in v2.5 ... fingers crossed for v2.6.

Ridexbuilder,

I'm sorry you are choosing not to help me...with a package you developed. If I simply had instructions as to what to take out and put in, I could do it. Who else can I get to help me with this? Would this behavior (ignoring emails) be because I pulled from your hosting services? I had very good reasons for doing so, and the apparent lack of professionalism here (and major grudge holding) is confirming I did the right thing. I'd be happy to hear that my assumption is incorrect and how.

However, it doesn't change my issue. PGMarshall...you say it work well. Can YOU help me? I would simply like to know what to change in the respective files. Is there someone's help I can enlist? For pay? Ridexbuilder is now saying that it was designed for the beta 2.5, not the RC1. Are there RC1 instructions?

Thank you and I appreciate the help.

Not intending to fuel a flame-war but it was made perfectly clear to you, that this contribution is not 'plug and play' and you would likely need someone to implement it. Just because I haven't found the time to give you full dedicated timeous support, due to other commitments, doesn't mean to say that I was simply ignoring you! I do fill my time with other things.

..ignoring emails...

One from yesterday - I was still contemplating the reply, for crying out loud! (Which you appear to be doing)

Airing your "grievances" on a public forum is hardly the right venue.

When my workload settles, I may have time to test it in (buggy) RC1 - given the fluid nature of 2.5, it still may well not be a drop-in package. It isn't a modification for a shop owner but for someone capable/prepared to do code comparisons.

My apologies, I even went to delete the post after having had 2nd thoughts, but didn't see where I could (it could be there but I'm a tad overwhelmed and brain is full). IF you could simply give me an uninstall for sql, I could reverse back to before I installed it.

I appreciate the response. I would never have guessed you were contemplating the reply, I really thought you were ignoring me! Anyway...if I could at least go back to before...

Again, thanks for the reply.

In phpmyadmin, select the appropriate database, then on the SQL tab:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS customers_basket_text_attributes; 
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS orders_text_attributes; 
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS products_text_attributes; 
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS products_text_attributes_enabled;

Restore the catalog files from backup.

Updated, RC1 version sent by email.

I installed this mod with a little extra effort. Only reason, I didn't notice (it probably stated it) that you need to use model numbers to get this to work correctly. Also, I was converting data from my previous store, so I had to make sure all the info matched between the two.

Works great though!

[ridexbuilder]

... that you need to use model numbers to get this to work correctly.

Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't aware that model numbers are a pre-requisite (sorry, don't have time to check just now), though in >95% of cases people should be using model numbers for their products.

Regards,
EJ

[Glad that you found it of use.]

I used them in my first version of my store, but when I updated I decided not to. Then I decided to change the way I used them, but nothing matched up. It took some database editing, but it's all good now.
