I have built a website (with MODX) where some products are managed and displayed via the articles addon. The products should have a custom ordering but I don't know how to use a template variable for that.
If I enter the name of the TV in the "Sort Field" field nothing is shown at all.
So is it somehow possible to use a TV there?
Or is there another way to achive a custom ordering (note that I need the summary and date fields, so I cant't abuse them for that)?
You can do this by using getResource package. Look at sorbyTV, sortdirTV, sortbyTVType parameters in manual:

I want to add an entity extension to a customer in shopware 6. I was able to do so with the examples in the documentation of shopware on the PHP side and now I wonder how to display and modify this new "field" in the shopware 6 backend.
I searched a lot and also tried to find a simple plugin where I could get some inspiration from, but unfortunately I'm not able to find.
So again the question đ Is there any simple example on how to add an entity extension for customers with field in the admin of shopware 6? Or an example plugin, where I can see how it could be done?
What you're (likely) trying to achieve would be the combination of multiple separate tasks.
If you want to store data in the database you'd need a new custom entity
If you want to associate the new entity with the customer you'll need the entity extension
You'll need to add a new field in the administration
I've linked to examples respectively, but you'll probably need to take the time and invest in studying the documentation regardless.
I also created an example plugin that combines all these steps and adds a new entity with a height field as association to the customer and displays the field in the administration. You can find the repository here.
Not sure if you considered this, but depending on what you are trying to accomplish, the simplest way is probably adding a custom field (this can be done progamatically or even via the admin panel).
The drawback is, that those fields' values are stored as JSON and it has drawbacks when you try to search through them.
I've got a simple repeater that list links to uploaded documents using cms.file. I'm drawing a blank on adjust the ORDER BY based on publish date. I can't find anything here on this, so i apologize if this is a duplicate.
Best practice is to add custom field to page type (in this case cms.file or better create the new one) and set ORDER BY condition to this new field. There are also properties like DocumentModifiedWhen, DocumentCreatedWhen, DocumentCheckedOutWhen you can use.
I'm going to use DocumentModifiedWhen as the ORDER By statement.
There are two fields [DocumentPublishTo] and [DocumentPublishFrom] that you can think of using. These are the two fields which appear at the bottom of each form page by default.
How to implement Attribute to find his own name in the admin area in Opencart : Products - Attributes - Attributes? Is that there is a separate field and simply by driving into the field and displays the name of the attribute is an attribute, as usual searching for items in the admin by name, but only with attribute
It's hard to understand what you are asking, but if you are trying to use attributes for products then you must first define them at catalog>attributes>attributes.
To List attributes in the Products tab you will need edit these files
admin>view>template>catalog>product_form.tpl
admin>controller>catalog>product.php
If your understanding of PHP or Opencart isn't very strong it will help you to copy data from the attribute.php controller to the product.php controller.
As for the search function, this is something I haven't done before but you could try using the search function on the front of the website as reference.
I recommend working through this as best you can then asking more questions if or when you get stuck.
*Update
Ok so since HTML is your strenth it will be smartest to start from there. Open any of these files (the ones that have the data you need).
admin>view>template>catalog>attribute_form.tpl
admin>view>template>catalog>attribute_group_form.tpl
admin>view>template>catalog>attribute_group_list.tpl
admin>view>template>catalog>attribute_list.tpl
Then work backwards with what you see. The tpl will show variables that look like $attribute, track these back to
admin>controller>catalog>attribute.php
admin>controller>catalog>attribute_group.php
And you will see how all the code is used to pull the data from the model and format it if necessary.
I'm sure this is something simple for which I just haven't found the documentation:
I have a website with a member directory. All of the member data is stored in a members channel, which uses a variety of custom fields â some of which are part of the P&T Field Pack.
I use a Safecracker form to enter the data, and it renders the custom fields beautifully:
What I want is essentially the same form, but have it perform a search, instead of enter the field data.
I've scoured the Search Module documentation, but can't find information on how to search individual fields, let alone how to render them. I've also searched the Safecracker documentation for how to configure it to search (the ideal solution).
How do I do this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

EE's search module won't do what you want - it's more of a general search tool, and its "Advanced search" form is less about custom fields and more about things like channels and categories.
You want to look at Solspace's Super Search. It's much more powerful, and will allow you to do exactly what you want in terms of your query - though you will have to build the form manually (i.e., you won't get the SafeCracker-style simplicity of using {field:field_name} to have your form fields output for you).
I would also recommend checking out SuperSearch.
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 couldnât find anything that said âhere it is, this is how it can be doneâ. 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 havenât tested it with any other releases)
Flag (I used 6.x-2.0-beta3, I havenât tested it with any other releases)
Step 2. Flags configuration â Setting up your âcompareâ
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 âcompareâ), and leave the flag type as ânodeâ, 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 â Compare Products
Flag link text â Add to compare
Flagged message - [title] has been added to your compare
Unflag link text â Remove from compare
Unflagged message â [title] has been removed from your compare
Flaggable content â Product
Check âDisplay login link for anonymous users.â and for anonymous link text add â[login] to add to your compareâ
For flag access, check flag and unflag for authenticated users
Under Display options select âDisplay link on node pageâ and âJavaScript toggleâ as link type
Click submit to save your flag.
With the settings we used, the âflag link textâ should now display on your product nodes. Clicking it should make the âflagged messageâ appear and the link changed to your âunflag link textâ using JavaScript.
So what we are doing here is just flagging nodes â itâs actually pretty simple. We are flagging/unflagging them as âcompare productâ, 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 âflaggedâ 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, itâs totally up to you. All we need is a view with (at least) the settings explained below.
DEFAULTS
Basic Settings â 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 âAdd to compareâ link when viewing a product to add it to this page.
Relationships
Add the following relationship:
Flags: Node flag
- label: compare
- check âInclude only flagged contentâ
- flag: select the flag you created in step 2
- by: current user
Fields â 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 havenât âflaggedâ 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 doesnât 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 donât 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-tableâflag-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-tableâflag-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 â 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.
