Hi David,

I am wondering what's involved to include voucher description and expiry date to product table on import?

Thanks!

Hello Ken, Sure - new fields

Hello Ken,

Sure - new fields voucher_description and voucher_valid_to would need to be added to the products table which the following dbmod.php script will perform:

<?php
  require("includes/common.php");
  $sql = "ALTER TABLE `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."products`
            ADD `voucher_description` TEXT NOT NULL,
            ADD `voucher_valid_to` INT(11) NOT NULL
            ";
  database_queryModify($sql,$result);
  print "Done.";
?>

With the new fields in place, edit includes/tapestry.php and look for the following code at line 246:

$product["voucher_code"] = $voucher["code"];

...and REPLACE with:

  $product["voucher_code"] = $voucher["code"];

  $product["voucher_description"] = $voucher["description"];

  $product["voucher_valid_to"] = $voucher["valid_to"];

And then the following code at line 260:

$products[$k]["voucher_code"] = $product["voucher_code"];

...and REPLACE with:

  $products[$k]["voucher_code"] = $product["voucher_code"];

  $products[$k]["voucher_description"] = $product["voucher_description"];

  $products[$k]["voucher_valid_to"] = $product["voucher_valid_to"];

With that in place, and following the next import, wherever a full $product record is in context such as within the foreach() loop in html/prices.php the description field would be available using for example:

<?php print $product["voucher_description"]; ?>

However, the valid_to value is stored as a time() value (seconds since 1/1/1970) so this would need to be displayed using PHP's date() function, for example:

<?php print date("Y-m-d",$product["voucher_valid_to"]); ?>

(which would display the date in the format YYYY-MM-DD)

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.

Hi!

I have a merchant where the each record have a field if it is a coupon. Example:

product: Panasonic Camera
coupon: DISCOUNT20
description: Save 20% with this coupon
valid_until: 2017-10-04

how do I need to proceed in this case?

First of all, I think I have to add field_voucher, field_description and field_valid_until into pt_feeds so I can map it. Isn't it?

Hi,

If you're referring to a normal product feed that has voucher code fields in addition to product fields (populated for some products) then sure, you can add these as custom fields in the normal way...

Cheers,
David.
