Custom Fields

[Lonnie]

Richard, you'll probably have the best chance at answering this
question, with all that you've done on 1.0.4 and above.

I'm needing to add some fields to the products that allow me to set
items as featured, and provide a wholesale price/discount. I've
figured out where to change the form (though I still haven't found the
css that allows me to change that charcoal background....) but I'm not
seeing where to change the get/save functions. I've looked through
kiwee.class.php and browsed the functions that look like they should
get/save the products, but I'm just not grasping what I need to
change. Granted, it was 2 in the morning when I was struggling with
this, but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

HI Lonnie

The updatePage function (kiwee.class.php file) is where the saving/updating operations for Products/Items are mainly driven through.
Here the actual Product's details are principally handled through WriteItemToDB function where addContainer/updateContainer handle the MODx table site_content for the other bits.
I found the fact that 2 tables for the Product (items and items_audit) confusing and seemingly unnecessary but there the 2 tables that the Write function will address in there slightly different forms.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a million! That is a huge help! And, yes, I found the 2 tables a bit confusing as I was digging in last night, also.

Thats OK - have fun digging (I decided to do away with the audit one - too confusing).
