Admin Orders - How do i add manufacturer

pegasusshoes · Post by **pegasusshoes** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 5:23 am

I need a way to show the manufacturer in all instances of the order contents. So I would need this in the basket and more importantly on the admin side so when pulling orders we know what manufacturer(brand) the shoe is. Is there an easy way to update the uc orderItemdetail to include the manu? Or in order to show the manu does it need to be included on the consumer side so when the order is placed that info is added to the orders table?

I assume you're wanting the manufacturer "name" to show? Like maybe below the name of the product itself?

What version of AC7 are you using?

VERSION: 7.0.7.14481
Well actually I need it right before the name of the product so for example "Keen Newport H2". "Keen" being the manu and "Newport H2" is the item name

I got it to work in the email confirmation just not on the orders that come in

Ok but where do you specifically mean when you say "on the orders that come in" ? Are you referring to the View Order page in the admin-side?

Could you just type the manufacturer name into the name of each product in the catalog? Or are there too many products to do that?

Yes on the orders (packing slip etc) that we see in the admin and the orders that the customer sees. all of the manu's are already entered into the db in the manu and vendor field. I guess I could merge the manu and name field together then use the dataport to update but I really didnt want the name to be that long there are about 1600 products. I figured I could just call the manu field. I dont know asp.net too well our ould site was in coldfusion and it was a simple task just to call the manu.

Well there's a few ways to accomplish your goal:

1. If you have direct SQL access to your db, I could build you a script that updates each product name to include the name of that products manufacturer. That gets everything done in a blink of an eye. Fast, easy and no code changes.

2. Modify the code to add the manufacturer name to the product name. But you'll have to do this in each area of the storefront where you want this change to appear. There are several places where an item is displayed, and not every area uses the exact same technique for displaying the data. Plus now your next AC7 upgrade will be more complicated since you've customized some of the files.

I believe I can get direct access to the db. I'll find out for sure. How much would something like that cost me for you to build a script?
