condition of this item?

[20KingSize]

i really dont have a need for this option but i would like to customize it to suit my needs.

how would i go about changing "condition of this item" to Finish Type? and change excellent, good, fair, poor to Gold, Metal, Wood, Plastic, Plaster?

which file(s) would i need to edit? and what would be the code?

thanks for your help.

sorry it looks like i may have posted this in the wrong section.

Under Admin language section for edit strings you search for the wording you wish to change and use the phrase editor to change the actual wording in admin.

ok thanks for that, i can see how this can be done. Another question would be how do i go about adding more options? there is 5 that i have changed

excellent = gold
great = metal
good = wood
fair = plastic
poor = plaster

but i would also like to add bronze and silver, how would i go about doing that?

thanks for your help

You could possibly add more options lines for the rating select box under the uploadproduct template in admin edit templates.

note you need to use the exact wording bronze and silver in the options because there are no strings in the database.

You would add a language string in the phrases.php file. However not too sure why your trying to add a phrase since it would not be used in our program naturally.

O.k., i want to add one or more conditions just as "Broken" or "Not Usable" to the exiating options such as good, fair or what ever.

You can hard code any extra options in the templates if you want to keep it simple

I am trying to hard code as you suggest - see below ("test" option added)

<option selected="selected" value="$pp_phrase[excellent]">$pp_phrase[excellent]</option>
<option value="$pp_phrase[great]">$pp_phrase[great]</option>
<option value="$pp_phrase[good]">$pp_phrase[good]</option>
<option value="$pp_phrase[fair]">$pp_phrase[fair]</option>
<option value="$pp_phrase[poor]">$pp_phrase[poor]</option>
<option value="test">test</option>

This is not working for me - am I doing this right?

well you just can not hard code things in and expect it to work.

This discussion was about a user changing the wording of an existing field to suit his specific needs.

Now this also is a very old discussion.

You can under Admin => Edit Categories define any type of extra fields you wish. You can define an additional field using a dropdown box and enter options there. Then your additional field would work.
