avalight, that's a great idea if you want to show it to the customer. :)

As a workaround to the lack of custom fields, I have put this common information into the short description field, using html coding to help with the formating, and it looks pretty good because it shows up on the product listing and on the product detail page, right after brand.  This is an example of the code I used:
<b>Dimensions: </b>10h x 7w x 4e x 5tm<br><b>Lamping: </b> Takes one, B11 (torpedo) style bulb, 60W max.
I put all this in an excel spreadsheet, and imported just this one field.  As an extra bonus, I finally have a use for the short description field :)

Yes I love the idea of a check box, to show or hide the information in that specific field. If it does show, where would it appear on the product page? Below the Long descriptio within that same table? Just curious.]]> Mon, 24 Sep 2007 15:46:20 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/more-custom-product-fields_topic640_post3346.html#3346 <![CDATA[More Custom Product Fields : I am writing this &#034;update&#034;...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/more-custom-product-fields_topic640_post3345.html#3345 Author: bunger

I am writing this "update" so that it can be implemented into an existing cart, or on a fresh install. The import and export features will also work with the extra fields as well.

One last question for you all, would it be helpful to have the ability to hide the fields? Maybe just a simple check box. The only difference being that it would not be seen by the customer.

I have been using PC for about a year now and I find this area to be one of the most lacking.  Most any website with products want a standardized way of presenting product information.  Using the additional custom fields, allowing the title and contents to be determined by the administrator, and then having them appear on the detailed product pages.  I have been testing other ecommerce solutions and this is almost a universal feature.  Even in the cheapest of shopping carts.    So I think the folks at EI need to bump this up the list.  This is a major shortcoming of the PC product, IMHO.]]> Fri, 21 Sep 2007 01:55:24 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/more-custom-product-fields_topic640_post3309.html#3309 <![CDATA[More Custom Product Fields : More custom would be a godsend...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/more-custom-product-fields_topic640_post3286.html#3286 Author: abyss

More custom would be a godsend for my Business. 3 just does not work and results in emails back and forth. Access to documentation or  "update" files would be fantastic.

20 would be more than enough. I recon 10 would be fantastic

20 would definitely be enough. :) Would we be able to import and export with those fields too? Just wondering what the limitations will be. ]]> Wed, 19 Sep 2007 12:05:42 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/more-custom-product-fields_topic640_post3279.html#3279 <![CDATA[More Custom Product Fields : I&#039;ll be working to expand...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/more-custom-product-fields_topic640_post3258.html#3258 Author: bunger

I'll be working to expand some of the limitation from 3 to 20 or even make them completely dynamic. Would 20 be enough for most uses? Any input before I complete these changes is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I would definitely appreciate it if you could document the changes and supply the update files here for the rest of us who need these things. :) I'm not a programmer so it may be a little hard for me to implement but I'd still love to know just in case i thought it would be easy enough to do. I have standard version 3.051 but will be updating to 3.1 soon.
Thanks!

I will be adding these suggested features to a clients site in the next 2 weeks, if anyone is interested, I could document my changes or supply "update" files so that you can make these changes to your sites as well. Please respond to this message or PM me if interested.]]> Fri, 14 Sep 2007 16:37:05 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/more-custom-product-fields_topic640_post3217.html#3217
