PHP - Creating A Product Gallery

hi, baiscally i have a products that go into the products mysql and get called by php

but with each product there are different options,

 e.g. mens jumper - comes in sizes m,l,xl,xxl

mens jeans might only come in s, m, l

shoes are in 6,7,8,9,10,11

my question is how do i make a drop down list different for each product, when there all in the same db, if some one can reccomend a tutorial or a concept, i would really appreciate it

thank you

Hello.  I just created a product gallery containing thumbnails of items that I will be selling.

When a user click on on of the thumbnails, I want a product details page to appear with more details about the chosen product

Could use some feedback if I am going about things the right way...

Step 1: User goes to my gallery located he   www.mysite.com/store/product-gallery.php

Step 2: System displays a page of thumbnails representing items that I am selling.

Step 3: User click on a given thumbnail which is a hyperlink to:  www.mysite.com/store/products/4571

Step 4: System rewrites the URL as such:  www.mysite.com/store/products.php?sku=4571

Step 5: System queries MySQL and retrieves record for sku 4571

Step 6: System displays product details for the chosen item in Step 3 which is sku 4571

 

How does that sound?

 

I am wanting to do something similar to this:
http://www.dimarzio.com/pickup-picker

My question involves the concept rather than any specific code on how to execute this.

For example, we are selling violins and we want the user to input info about their playing style, and give them the three best violins based on their entry. This is the data I've been given:

Level: Beginner Intermediate Advanced Soil, Kreisler, Gibson Soil, Kreisler, Ysaye, Cremonese, Gibson Cannon, Soil, Ysaye, K.Joseph, Keifetz Bowing Style: Soft Medium Hard Soil, Medici, Kreisler Soil, Medici, K.Joseph, Ysaye Cannon, Kreisler, Soil, Heifetz Musical Style Classical Fiddle Rock Ysaye, Soil, Provigny Medici, Ysaye, K.Joseph Kreisler, Diable, Vieuxtemps Desired Tone: Bright Balanced Dark Soil, Medici, Provigny Kreisler, Soil, Ysaye Cannon, Diable, Plowden
So if the user inputs Expert, Hard, Rock, and Dark I will data sets of violins consisting of: Cannon, Soil, Ysaye, K.Joseph, Heifetz // Cannon, Kreisler, Soil, Heifetz // Kreisler, Diable, Vieuxtemps // Cannon, Diable, Plowden

Out of those I need to output the user the three best choices for them. Cannon is listed in 3 out of the 4, so that has to be #1. Now there are three more violins that match two of the criteria. The Soil, Kriesler and Diable. In order to drill that down to two choices, I would think the questions would have to be ranked according to importance. For instance Tone is most important, followed by bowing style, musical genre, and skill level. Based on that ranking, the program should choose the Diable and Kreisler.

I am not entirely sure how to approach this. Since this data will not change frequently, should this even get the database involved? Should the info just be stored in a multi-dimensional array? Once the data is in an array, whether from the DB or not, how should I go about programming the logic to examine the arrays in order of importance and grab the violins that are most relevant?

Any help is much appreciated! I figured this was going to be easy, until I actually started thinking about it!

I have made a custom post type for products, and am using a custom taxonomy for the product categories. The thing that I am wondering about is that sometimes a product category is a parent, and sometimes a child, but sometimes both. For instance, if you have a top level category named shoes, then you might have a sub category named Nike. However, Nike also has shirts, so you could say that shoes and shirts were both subcategories of Nike. Do you know what I'm saying? It's like there is no real parent to child relationship, but they are both parents and both children of each other. How do you handle this type of situation?

I got a problem guys, when I wanna add a product to my cart it wont add the product to my cart.
I get send to my cart and than there is no product.

Hello all! I am new to the forums and this is my first post. I've tried to search for an answer but have come up empty handed so I thought I'd just ask outright.

I am building a website for a local car dealership and they want to have a "Vehicles" page where it shows a list of all the vehicles in inventory and the consumer can sort the inventory by Make, Model, Year, Color, and/or Price. I'm working with php and MySQL and I am a newbie coder trying to learn on my own. I know how to sort querys but I am completely lost when it comes to sorting with dynamic/multiple variable chosen by the user. Please help. I know my code sucks but any advise will be SUPER helpful.

My table looks like this..

`guns_id` int(255) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `guns_name` varchar(255) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `guns_price` int(255) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY  (`guns_id`)

I want to add a product key that is unique through out the whole database as I have other products other than guns aswell.

Hi.  This question is building off of things you all helped me with earlier in my other two threads.  (I go no sleep last night, so sorry if my thinking is a bit off!)

Now that I know how to create a gallery page - as far as HTML goes - to display a listing of free add-on items you get when you subscribe, I need to extend those concepts to my next project.

I need to create a product catalog page for my e-commerce site.  (Not sure if there is a better name?)

This is the page you would see if you went to an e-commerce site and started shopping.

At the top of the page would be my company mast.  And beneath that, on the left side of the screen would be a menu listing different areas of my online store.  And to the right, would be the area where you see the actual products.  (And I would be using the same techniques to display items on the right hand side as I did in my earlier gallery.

So here is where I could use some hep with the logic of this page...

Let's say my website is located at www.mystore.com

And in the left menu bar, I have these categories:  Music, TV Shows, Movies, Gear

And in the right pane I want to display items for the chosen section.

So if you chose "Music", I am thinking the hyperlink behind it might read; www.mystore.com/music/   with a mod_rewrite to www.mystore.com?category=music

And then I would have PHP code that would fire when the page is reloaded to www.mystore.com?category=music and it would query MySL and display all music related products in the right pane.

(Note: It is understood I am only using HTML and PHP with no Javascript.)

How does the above approach sound?

 

I am a php programmer but I am not so good with XML files.
For a price comparison website, I need to parse the Amazons XML feed to store product data into the database.

Can anyone please help me to find out such a simple script to parse Amazon XML product feed???
(Actually, I need each product data in array to be stored into the database)

Thank you in advance.

I'm trying to make one big array with my websites menu that has the categorys and the products i'm using code i found at http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=326419.msg1536842#msg1536842

thank you for your time sorry for any spelling or grammar errors

I have a task that seems to be complex.   Short Description:  currently users of the application I am hired to develop have two steps to do when using the app: 1.  Select a Product Line (A, B, C, D) 2.  Select input parameters for that product line - all product lines have simlar "Main" input parameters, but also each line has its own special features that can be selected. 3.  Selections for that product line are shown - the result is a long table or options for that particular product line.  Things like price, discounts, product specifications, etc.   What the users want now is this: 1.  Select input parameters (not sure how to handle individual product lines special parameters yet) 2.  Selections for all product lines are shown   The code base is legacy code, with code thrown around everywhere.  One idea me and my coworkers have been considering is a complete rewrite, since it will help us with writing tighter code, and do what the customer wants.  But that will also take time, and there is no spec.  The spec is in the code mess.   Another one is I am considering now is a "merge".  Somehow merge the product lines, since we have the separate product modules (A, B, C, D), there must be a way to consider maybe extending one to include the others, or somehow get me to the end result -- allow users to see selections for all product lines.   Do you have any experience, any suggestions on how to do this?  I know this needs details, and details are in my code that you don't see, and most likely won't have the time to read and understand anyway.    But I am looking for any ideas or encouragement though that may help.  And my question is -- is there any kind of procedure or technique or something to deal with the problem I am facing -- merging several separate yet similar modules into one single merged module.  How do I approach this, what are some things that could help, etc.  That's what I'm looking for.

Hi All,

I am creating a page where a customer can create a new order from a list of items.

All the data is stored in a MySQL database and is accessed by PHP.

What I am trying to achieve is the following:

Starting with one row as shown below:



The customer can then select a product from the list and the details appear in the following rows as shown he



The customer should then be able to add another row by pressing the + button or delete that row by pressing the - button.

At the moment I have got the system to work as far as one row goes with the data being placed into the rows using AJAX.

I have then tried to add new rows/delete rows etc. but have had little success and have pretty much hit a brick wall.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could take a look and point me in the right direction!

Thanks!

    subcategoryID                           
    productID

i have made a products upload script to my site where i can add products too it saves the category and subcategory id's in the fields above then if i wish to add the product to additional categories i do so and again this adds all the data to the addiotnalCategories table.

however i can seems to be able to display this on the view products page i tried the below code but get no luck

Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();
$username=$_SESSION['username'];
include_once"../includes/db_connect.php";
$cat=$_GET['cat'];

please any help will be appreciated thank you for reading
 

Hello, I need to hide products with same title from WooCommerce shop page and i'm trying to achieve that with a custom loop.

For example i have 5 products called "Plex" and the only diferrence between them is the SKU field and the color. I don't care which of the same product will be displayed in the shop page, i just want to display only one of all these products.

I created a loop which is working and does hide products with same name but i have a problem. If i set posts_per_page=8 it shows less because it counts the hidden products also.

$args = array(
   'post_type'         => 'product',
   'posts_per_page'    => 8
);
$query = new WP_Query($args);
$list = array();

while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); 
if(in_array(get_the_title(), $list)){ continue; }
   $list[] = get_the_title();
?>

<li><?php wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'product' ); ?></li>

<?php endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();

P.S. I don't want to remove these products, i just want to hide them from shop loop!

Any ideas what is the problem with the loop? Is there a better way to achieve that?
