Product condition...

[dsmcz]

Hi... I'm new, and apologise in advance if this question has been answered before...

 

I'm selling electronic components, mostly new, but have new components which can be upto 25 years old...

 

...thus I need to grade these components in more detail than "New", "Used", "Reconditioned".

 

e.g. "New, Old stock - As New", and "New, Old Stock - unused but not perfect"

 

Can this be achieved using the GUI, or do I need to edit config files/database?

 

Also, (for people with more experience than myself) is this a good way to do this... I want to be able to filter products using "Layered Navigation" by these condition attributes as well as product features / attributes.

 

Many thanks in advance...

You need to extend the product class. Specifically, add a new entry here:

 

 

'condition' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'shop' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'values' => array('new', 'used', 'refurbished'), '

 

Then also edit admin-products.js, here

				tabs_manager.onLoad('Informations', function(){
					$('#condition').attr('disabled', true);
					$('#condition option[value=refurbished]').removeAttr('selected');
					$('#condition option[value=used]').removeAttr('selected');
				});

And add your value. Then again,  admin themes, products controller, informations.tpl

			<select name="condition" id="condition">
				<option value="new" {if $product->condition == 'new'}selected="selected"{/if} >{l s='New'}</option>
				<option value="used" {if $product->condition == 'used'}selected="selected"{/if} >{l s='Used'}</option>
				<option value="refurbished" {if $product->condition == 'refurbished'}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='Refurbished'}</option>
			</select>

and blocklayered.php

				case 'condition':
					$condition_list = array(
						'new' => $this->translateWord('New', (int)$filter['id_lang']),
						'used' => $this->translateWord('Used', (int)$filter['id_lang']),
						'refurbished' => $this->translateWord('Refurbished', (int)$filter['id_lang'])
					);

				preg_match('/^(.*)_([0-9]+|new|used|refurbished|slider)$/', substr($key, 8, strlen($key) - 8), $res);

					if ($res[1] == 'condition' && in_array($value, array('new', 'used', 'refurbished')))

					$condition_array = array(
						'new' => array('name' => $this->l('New'),'nbr' => 0), 
						'used' => array('name' => $this->l('Used'), 'nbr' => 0),
						'refurbished' => array('name' => $this->l('Refurbished'),
						'nbr' => 0)
					);

Phew. I need to make a tutorial
