Custom fields

[andarilhoestelar]

How do I add a custom filed to a product?

[heidi]

I'm not sure what you mean.   There are already 5 custom fields on product that you can use.

Hi heidi.

Yes, there are 5 custom fields in a tab of the edit product page, but I don't know how to use them.

Is it possible to define a label for each field?
How can I show the labels and values of the fields in the product page?

For example, I am building a virtual book store. I need the following custom fields: author, pages, year
How can I put them in the product?

Hi,

Is it possible to define a label for each field?

For the Admin App?   Yes...  You can modify the message catalog:

For the application?  Yes, modify the JSPs.

How can I show the labels and values of the fields in the product page?

Modify the JSPs to pick out the custom field values that you require.  The custom field values will be available on your product object.

Hi Heidi!

Another question, is it possible to search products (keywords) using values stored on custom fields?

Thanks for helping me!

Yes, check out the javadoc:

http://www.konakart.com/javadoc/server/com/konakart/appif/KKEngIf.html#searchForProducts(java.lang.String, com.konakart.appif.DataDescriptorIf, com.konakart.appif.ProductSearchIf, int)

.. and look at AdvancedSearchSubmitAction.java where you'll find an example....

... which is the code behind the demo:
