Adding merchant

Submitted by JasonG on Fri, 2013-02-22 11:03 in

Hi David

Is there a way for me to add a merchant that has not had a feed imported.

I want to be able to add merchants to the "merchant logo" section and my online deals / voucehr codes section
http://www.mydogworld.co.uk/dog-shop/online-deals.php but neccesarily include them in price comparison

Regards
Stuart

Hi Stuart,

The voucher codes edit script can be easily modified to let you enter the merchant details in a text box if not a merchant that is present on your site. In admin/voucher_codes_edit.php, look for the following code at line 32:

  widget_required("merchant");

...and REPLACE with:

  if (!$_POST["merchant"]) $_POST["merchant"] = $_POST["merchant_manual"];
  widget_required("merchant");

Then look for the following code at line 199:

  widget_selectArray("merchant",$merchants,$default,"Select..");

...and REPLACE with:

  widget_selectArray("merchant",$merchants,$default,"Select..");
  print " or <input type='text' name='merchant_manual' />";

Then you'll be able to enter a merchant name manually instead of selecting from the drop-down box. For the logo, simply upload the logo file manually to /logos/ with the exact name as entered, including spaces just as per datafeed merchants.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.
