I want to see the properties of Coffees and Brewers tried to get to Fields but I couldn't.
The pictures explain what I meanenter image description here
But I can find Home section easily
enter image description here
The properties of products are defined in the Modules application under Modules > E-commerce > SKU > Fields. The exact fields for a general product form are in the Alternative Forms > Product - General properties form.

How do I get the full product path when clicking it from latest module or search results, let me explain a bit more:
breadcrumbs are Home > Product Name instead of Home > Category > Product Name
The products listed in the latest module. When I click on one of them it takes me to the product page without the category id and it does the same for the search.
Is there any module in Orchard CMS that I can install to get a checkbox list? I checked in the gallery but could not find one. If there is none, is there is a workaround this?
I want to associate a product item with multiple categories (fixed set of categories).
Thanks!
EDIT :
I checked the Taxonomy module as per the suggestion. Now, I want to access the terms in the view. I have seen some posts where they can access it using
(IEnumerable<Contrib.Taxonomies.Models.TermPart>)Model.Terms
Using shape tracing, I am trying to figure out how to access the terms. My model doesn't have any terms field! I can access my custom type (Project) which has 'ProjectCategory' as Taxonomy Field. But there is no mean to view/select terms from there.
See attached screenshots.
Any idea?
I don't think there is a module specifically for checkbox lists, but it sounds like the Taxonomies module might be what you're looking for. You can add a Taxonomy field to your product content type, and define a Taxonomy for that field that contains all your categories.
Once you do that the editor page for your products will have a checkbox list (or radio select if you allow only one in the taxonomy field's settings) for the "Categories" taxonomy.
I managed to access the terms the following way :
IEnumerable<TermPart> assignedTerms = _taxonomyService.GetTermsForContentItem(contentItemId, "NameOfTaxonomy");
Hi
I have not using any shopping cart module, just created a content type (product) and defining several field(attribute) for each product feature.
I want to ask is there any module in Drupal for product comparison or field comparison?
Thanks
No, but there is a way to do it with the Flag module and Views. It will take more work than just turning on a module, but the outcome is the standard product comparison you're looking for. See this article.
The article is no longer online: here the content of the original post.
Ubercart Product Comparison
For me, using Ubercart in Drupal as an e-commerce solution for your website is the way to go. I have been using Ubercart for years now for a number of web design and development projects, and there are a massive amount of contribute modules to beef it up. One feature that I have been keen to work on is a Product Comparison feature, which would allow users to select products and have them display on a page, providing them with a nice and easy layout to easily compare their selected products.
After searching around the web, I found a few articles and posts from people looking for this feature, asking how it could work or if anyone had done it, but couldn’t find anything that said “here it is, this is how it can be done”. So, after a little bit or research and a bit of a play, I have come up with a solution which is not that difficult to achieve and only requires some already existing Drupal modules with just a few tweaks.
Note: This tutorial assumes that you already have a working ecommerce site with Ubercart installed. Best to also try this on a test environment and not a live website.
Step 1. Download Required Modules
Download, install and enable the following modules.
Views (I used 6.x-2.11, I haven’t tested it with any other releases)
Flag (I used 6.x-2.0-beta3, I haven’t tested it with any other releases)
Step 2. Flags configuration – Setting up your “compare”
Once you have enabled the Flags module, go to the flags administration page at /admin/build/flags.
Click the Add link, enter the name of your flag (something like “compare”), and leave the flag type as “node”, and submit.
On the next screen you will need to configure your new flag. Complete the following fields (changing the values if you like). I setup my configuration so only registered users of the website could compare products.
Title – Compare Products
Flag link text – Add to compare
Flagged message - [title] has been added to your compare
Unflag link text – Remove from compare
Unflagged message – [title] has been removed from your compare
Flaggable content – Product
Check “Display login link for anonymous users.” and for anonymous link text add “[login] to add to your compare”
For flag access, check flag and unflag for authenticated users
Under Display options select “Display link on node page” and “JavaScript toggle” as link type
Click submit to save your flag.
With the settings we used, the “flag link text” should now display on your product nodes. Clicking it should make the “flagged message” appear and the link changed to your “unflag link text” using JavaScript.
So what we are doing here is just flagging nodes – it’s actually pretty simple. We are flagging/unflagging them as “compare product”, so you should now be able to (by clicking on the link provided on your products) add and remove products to compare on your website.
Now we have done this, we need to create a page to display our “flagged” products, in which this case is the products we want to compare.
Step 3. Creating out Compare Products Page
Go to the Views Administration page, enabling the Flag module creates a default flag view. You can use this as a reference, or even change this view to what you need, it’s totally up to you. All we need is a view with (at least) the settings explained below.
DEFAULTS
Basic Settings – Use at least the following settings
Title: Product Comparison
Style: Table
Items per page: Unlimited
Access: Authenticated user
Empty text: Full HTML
- You have not yet added any products to compare. Click the “Add to compare” link when viewing a product to add it to this page.
Relationships
Add the following relationship:
Flags: Node flag
- label: compare
- check “Include only flagged content”
- flag: select the flag you created in step 2
- by: current user
Fields – You can put whatever fields here you would like to show up against each product. You must include the Node Title, and ideally you would want to show a thumbnail of the product, its price and description and the unflag link to allow users to remove it from this page. I have the following fields for my compare:
Content Image using an imagecache, linking to product
Node: Title linking to product
Flags: Flag link
- Relationship: select the one you added
Product: Sell Price
Node: Teaser
Filters
Node: Published Yes
AND SAVE
Now add a new page display view and give it a URL, then save. Navigate to your new compare page using the URL you entered. If you haven’t “flagged” any products yet, go do so and once done you should see those products displayed on your Compare Products page!!!
But, there is one slight issue. Because we needed to use Style: Table to get the layout to better suit a compare list, it still doesn’t display it the way we need it too. We want to display each of the products horizontally, with each field label shown on the far left so it is easy to compare our products. To do this we need to retheme the table style for our view.
Step 4. Theme the table output of the view
Under Theme: Information for our view, it displays a list of all the possible templates for the display plugin and for the style plugins. Look for the list titled Style output. This is what we want. It lists the possible templates we can use to change the theming of the style output. The first one it displays is the generic template for the table style output but we don’t want to use this one, because if we do we could effect any other table style view that may be on the site. So best to use the next one across, mine was called views-view-table–flag-compare.tpl.php.
Create a new php file and name the file to the template name you want to use. In my case my file is named views-view-table–flag-compare.tpl.php.
Paste the Drupal 6 code from here http://drupal.org/node/174578 into your template file.
Then place the file in your themes directory – and presto! Your comparison table should be laid out more like a comparison style grid. Below is a screenshot of what my Comparison page looks like after a little bit of extra styling.
Try this module: https://drupal.org/project/comparison
Allows the comparison of the attributes of two or more nodes by generating a table. A checkbox is added to nodes to allow them to be included in the comparison. If two or more nodes are selected a link is added to a page with a comparison table.
we are currently weighing up what cms to use with Expression Engine 2 being a strong candidate.
We would like to create a bilingual site where the categories would need to be in both languages.
I see that a category has the following fields
Category Name,
Url Title,
Description,
Image url,
We would also like to add "Category Name French" and "Description French" to each category and have them editable via the control panel form.
Does any one know if this is possible?
Any pointers much appreciated
Beyond the standard ExpressionEngine Category Fields — Category Name, Category URL Title, Category Description, Category Image URL — you can add as many additional Custom Category Fields as you see necessary.
You can add/edit custom category fields in the ExpressionEngine Control Panel at:
Admin > Channel Administration > Categories > Manage Category Fields
This would allow you to add your "Category Name French" and "Description French" fields to each category and have them editable in the Control Panel.
.
I use category parents to group the individual categories, you can then easily output the required categories based on language, either via the parameter "category_group". You can then use all the default category fields and custom ones.
Basically:
English
-- category 1 (in English)
-- category 2 (in English)
-- category 3 (in English)
French
-- category 1 (in French)
-- category 2 (in French)
-- category 3 (in French)
I believe the accepted best practice for multi-lingual sites in EE2 is to use the commercial add-on Transcribe. http://eeharbor.com/transcribe
The easiest solution around bilingual categories is writing the name of the second language category in the category description input field and then use {category_description} as the name tag for that language. That is not useful if you need a description for both languages though.
this might work for you:
I haven't used EE2.0, but in EE 1.X you could create custom category fields.
Create a "{fr_category_description}" for instance
then have a read at this tutorial - http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Multi_language_site_alternative/
I implemented this on an english/welsh website and it worked very nicely
URLs look like site.com/COUNTRY_CODE/template_group/template and serve content based on this.
works by assigning a variable based on the country, then within your templates you can do:
<h1>{{country_code}_my_field}</h1>
which will translate to:
<h1>{en_my_field}</h1> for site.com/en/ or <h1>{fr_my_field}</h1> for site.com/fr
you just need to create fields with the country code as a prepended and you're good to go.
let me know if you need any clarification, can provide code from my live site.
I would like to add a field to a list with displays an Image, but acts as a hyperlink. In other words like the "Hyperlink or Picture" column, but "Hyperlink AND Picture" instead.
Where the two fields you input would be the URL to the image to display, and the URL of the hyperlink.
This must be possible. I notice that the Type (in a document library) column does just that, and also includes the views that are currently being used (in the case of a folder).
Is it possible to duplicate the computed Type field in a document library to read two other fields in the list (which will act as the image url, and the redirect link)? What would the CAML be?
Thanks in advance if anyone could offer any insight.

This can be done but you would need to develop a custom field type. As you have found, SharePoint's default rendering for pictures is without the hyperlink. You need to change how the rendering behaves in Display mode in your own custom field. Check Patterns in Custom Field Rendering for more info.
There are also several examples of creating custom field types on the web. The MSDN articles give a lot of detail about how it all works but don't let that put you off as it's not too tricky.
