Custom Search Fields

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Is there a way to assign an item to more than one value in a custom search field? Example;
Search field- Drum type
                        Values- Metal drum
                                    Plastic drum

I have a product that can be used on metal and/or plastic. If I assign it to metal drum it will not show up on a plastic drum search, if I assign it to plastic drum it will not show up on a metal drum search. I have tried to clone it and assign one to metal and one to plastic but when there is no search on drum type they both show up.

	Hi, Custom Search Fields only support a single value for each product I'm afraid.

	Any ideas on a work around? I have many products that this effects.

	There is a workaround. 1. From "pcadmin" open file "modifyProductB.asp"; 2. Search for "function AddSF(tmpSFID,tmpSFName,tmpSVID,tmpSValue,tmpSOrder)"; 3. Change the javascript function to this : function AddSF(tmpSFID,tmpSFName,tmpSVID,tmpSValue,tmpSOrder) { if (tmpSValue!="") { var i=0; var found=0; SFCount++; SFID[SFCount]=tmpSFID; SFNAME[SFCount]=tmpSFName; SFVID[SFCount]=tmpSVID; SFVALUE[SFCount]=tmpSValue; SFVORDER[SFCount]=tmpSOrder; CreateTable(); } } Now it will work to add more values to the same custom-field. Otherwise, it will just replace the old value...

	I did find it in "modifyProduct.asp" and changed it as you instructed and I can not add more than one value to one custom search field.

	Hi, Try in modifyproduct.asp. The code also appears in several other files.

	I'm afraid i can't help you with 4.5, i only have version 4.1 with sp3. Maybe there are some differences, i don't know...

	This function just searches for the custom field that you want to modify, and if it exists, it replaces the old value with the new value. If you comment those lines (or delete them) it will work to add another value to the same custom field...

	Thank you for the help, unfortunately it did not work. I modified "modifyProduct.asp" to; function AddSF(tmpSFID,tmpSFName,tmpSVID,tmpSValue,tmpSOrder) { if (tmpSValue!="") { var i=0; var found=0; SFCount++; SFID[SFCount]=tmpSFID; SFNAME[SFCount]=tmpSFName; SFVID[SFCount]=tmpSVID; SFVALUE[SFCount]=tmpSValue; SFVORDER[SFCount]=tmpSOrder; } CreateTable(); } } And it still replaces the value in custom fields instead of adding another one.
