A Yahoo! Store Custom Item Field!
This is now the Third Yahoo! Store tutorial that I have written for everyone to get some kind of know how from! This tutorial will show you how to but a custom field in with the price and part number. You could use if for things like; manufacturers part number, item status or even the release date and more!
This is only for the Yahoo! Store Editor V3.
You also must know how to edit RTML for this tutorial.
1. Whats first
Login into your store manager >> Catalog Manager>> Manage Your Tables>> Default-Tables
Now the first thing that we will have to do is create a new variable. Now the reason for us to be adding it through our tables instead of the store editor variables is because this way will create it for every item page. Now if you scroll down to the bottom of the page in the last set of fields under "Custom Fields" on the right site of the yellow bar you will find the "edit" button. Click on that and you will see all of your custom fields listed that you have for your store. At the bottom of the page you will see the blue text link that says "Add Another Custom Field". Now this will create the page to reload and will have another custom field added to the list on the very bottom with the words "defaultprop2" in it. Click and remove the words and add what you would like it to be without any spaces in the field. For this tutorial I will be using the "status". Be sure to check the Format. For the words to show up in the Yahoo! Store we will need it to be "Text". Leave the "Default Value" blank unless you want that to show up in every item.
2. Back to the Editor
Now that we have our custom field set in our table, lets go back to the Store editor!
Store Manager>> Store Editor
From the home page of your store lets click on the "storetemplate" in the top editor. Now we are looking for the "Orderform" template. Click on that and lets begain the RTML of this tutorial. We are now looking for the "WHEN NONEMEPY" RTML Oprator. Paste the following code before or after even of them to see where you would like your custom text to show up at!
3. I used "Status"
I the RTML above I used "Status" in this tutorial be sure to replace the "@status" operator text to the same name you gave your custom field name while we where create it in the table manager! Also, be sure to edit or remove the name in between the "<strong></strong>".
4. Working Yet...
Now for every item in your Yahoo! Store when clicking on edit should have the new custom text field for you to add your text to it! Please remember that you will need to edit every item in your store with what you would like them to say. If you would like them all to be the same thing without editing every single one then please go back and read number 1!
I hope you have successfully added this feature to your Yahoo! store. I no longer practice this code and this is unmaintained tutorial. Use at your own risk. I worked hard on figuring out this code many years ago and didn't want these tutorials to go to waste.
