Simple Batch Edit Question
Posted: Thu Oct 21, 2010 8:11 am
Hello Able!
Quick question: I added a column to ac_Products which is called "Rarity" and has 4 possible string values: R, U, C, or M
I need to be able to get this column to show on batch edit. I've tried to the best of my ability and I end up always looking at Products metadata. Here's what I've done so far:
On ../Admin/Products/Batching/BatchEdit.aspx.csm added the following code which generated the field "rarity":
and
And added the "rarity" case to the drawfields like so:
On that last bit of code there's an "R". Normally I would need to put a string there which would be product.Name for example.
What I need to accomplish is to get rid of the "R" and substitute it with something like product.Name but for the Rarity column.
I really need some guidance on how to go on with this part of the process; If I had an idea I wouldn't post for help.
Thank you in advance for your time and attention!
