    Default product numbers

    hi,

    I need a "product number" (uniform product code, sku, whatever),
    for each product which is shared between products of the
    same type (blue shirt, white shirt etc.).

    the contrib "Add UPC numbers, SKUs, ISBN/ISSN, etc" (#126)
    provides this, but the modification-instructions aren't very good and
    don't work with 2.2MS2 (I already contacted the author but didn't yet
    get a reply)

    Do I have to use another version to get this to work? Any other contrib that adds this?

    Which contrib does the www.paulharris.com-store use
    to get SKU#'s?

    thanks a lot,

    Hi,
    I'm not sure 100% but i think that SKU #13892
    Is simply the article name they give and not a mod that let you add it.
    Click here:

    And i think you will see the same thing..
    Maybe sometimes the easy way is the best

    Are you sure? In this product:

    If "Tank, Velvet Black" is the Article name (products_name in the
    products_description table), and "A soft black velvet tank..."
    is the products_description (same table) then the SKU# would
    be in products.products_model. Was that what you were suggesting?
    (see oscommerce-2.2ms2/tep_database-pr2.2-CVS.pdf for a listing of the
    tables)

    However, contrib #126 just adds the field products.products_upc
    (uniform product code, the product#).
    That might be a problem for my shop because the product#
    must be shared among different models of a product
    (for example for a shirt with a V collar and a round collar; this
    can't be done with attributes)

    So I think that for this reason it is the wrong
    solution to put the product# in products.products_upc
    or products.products_model: if you want to modify the
    product# in a product, you have to change it in all models
    of this product. That alone is not a big problem but
    maybe other problems arise, so is there a better solution?

    thanks,
