Description (optional), Image URL (optional)

Submitted by Willem Siebe Sp... on Sat, 2013-07-27 19:45 in

Hi,

I´m following these instructions: http://www.pricetapestry.com/node/133

Why are those two optional?: Description (optional), Image URL (optional)

I know I can use my own description, can I also use my own pictures? In this way I want to prevent when the article is not available anymore I still have my own image and description.

Kind regards,

Willem

Willem,

They're optional during registration as there is no requirement for descriptions or images for a product in order for the script to work.

Yes - you can set your own custom description and image URL by way of the custom fields in Product Mapping however these only apply to product records as they are being imported; so if after a full import there are no longer any merchants stocking a particular product the product page would not be found. If you would like to make a modification so that if a product is no longer available but there _is_ a Product Mapping entry for that product and would like to display the image and description let me know, that would be straight forward to implement...

Cheers,
David.

Hi David,

Yes, in this case I would like to have my own image and description, so if you have a patch for that this would be great.
Also you mentioned in an e-mail before that the reviews can still be available, I would like that too.

By the way, did I missed a step, when I go to my WordPress site domain.com/pt/admin/ I can enter it without a password, this way everybody can change my site I guess. Hope to hear from you.

Kind regards,

Willem

Hello Willem,

I will work out the code to persist product and review pages for deleted products within the plugin where custom field exists, or where customer reviews exist - I'll follow up by email regarding this for you.

To set a password on your /pt/admin/ folder, edit your /pt/config.advanced.php file and you can enter a password at line 2:

  $config_adminPassword = "YOUR_PASSWORD";

Cheers,
David.

Hi David,

Thanks for that. I will wait for your e-mail.

One concern though: these extra code I'm going to add to the script, is this like a 'child-theme'. Goal: with future updates of your product I don't loose al my modifications.

Kind regards,

Willem

Hi Willem,

I keep a record of all mods so if there is an upgrade to the plugin in the future that you would like to install I'll be able to help you forward port any changes.

Cheers,
David.
