I just added these to the includes.php for internal use in product admin, but they are printing on the products.php and prod detail.php pages, how can I prevent that?

$admincustomlabel1="Extra Data ";
$admincustomlabel3="Supplier Part # ";

Thanks,

Michael

How about in the prod detail.php page itself just before the incproddetail.php include line add this…

<?php
$admincustomlabel1="";
$admincustomlabel3="";
?>

I put them back into the includes.php and now product admin won't display the two fields.
I must have broken something late last night.

Michael

I now have on includes.php:

$admincustomlabel1="Packaging Type ";
$admincustomlabel2="PID # ";
$admincustomlabel3="Supplier Part # ";

On prod detail page I have

Only $admincustomlabel2="PID # "; displays in Prod Admin, and it doesn't display on prod detail page (which I want)

Michael

Hi Mikelli,
I think the use of the "custom1, custom2, custom3" fields is all explained on the PHP Parameters Help page here: CSS layouts for the category, product and detail pages >>

Regards,

Gary

Thanks Gary, I read that a few times.

Right now I have all 3 fields displaying in prod admin. I don't want custom1 & 3 to print on the details page though. I tried Vince's suggestion and all 3 still print on the page. If I remove them from this string: 'custom2, navigation, checkoutbutton, productimage, productid, sku, productname, description, listprice, price, options, quantity, addtocart, previousnext, emailfriend, custom1, custom3 ';

They (custom1 & 3) won't display on the details page or in prod admin any longer, which I want for internal use. I don't see that addressed in that PHP parameters section. Sorry if I wasn't clear earlier.

Michael

Hi Michael
Do you hae the parameters, $productpagelayout and $detailpagelayout in your includes.php file? If so, what are they set to?

$detailpagelayout='custom2, navigation, checkoutbutton, productimage, productid, sku, productname, description, listprice, price, options, quantity, addtocart, previousnext, emailfriend, custom1, custom3 ';

The last 2 are so that I can use the fields in product admin. When removed they disappear in admin.

No $productpagelayout

Michael

Hi Michael
If you set these parameters but remove the "custom" parameters from the detail and product page layouts then you should be able to set the values in admin but not have them appear on the page.

$admincustomlabel1="Extra Data ";
$admincustomlabel3="Supplier Part # ";

Can you try that and let me know if it doesn't work.

That results them same as earlier. The fields disappear from product admin (I want them to stay) and they no longer print on the page. Custom #2 prints on details page and stays in product admin , Here's what I have:

$detailpagelayout='custom2, navigation, checkoutbutton, productimage, productid, sku, productname, description, listprice, price, options, quantity, addtocart, previousnext, emailfriend' ;

$admincustomlabel1="Packaging Type ";
$admincustomlabel2="PID # ";
$admincustomlabel3="Supplier Part # ";

On product detail page, I have:
<?php
$admincustomlabel1="";
$admincustomlabel3="";
?>
<?php include "vsadmin/inc/incproddetail.php" ?>

Michael

Hi Michael
Thinking about it, are you on v7.4.7 yet as there were lots of changes made to make the use of the custom parameters more flexible in this version. There are more details here...
