How it works

Products, _(*2)

The product part of the system is based around the widget of type manners_widgets/products. This widget is defined in the xml file app/code/community/Manners/Widgets/etc/widget.xml. The widget comes with a chooser with the helper type manners_widgets/catalog_product_widget_chooser., _(*3)

The chooser is based from the Magento standard chooser Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Catalog_Product_Widget_Chooser but to make it work with mass actions the following has been changed:, _(*4)

• define new massaction block in _construct,
• add custom columns in _prepareColumns,
• add massaction items in _prepareMassaction,
• update chooser to use custom url in prepareElementHtml,

The chooser will end up using the controller app/code/community/Manners/Widgets/controllers/Adminhtml/Product/Multiple/WidgetController.php. This controller is again the same as the standard Mage_Adminhtml_Catalog_Product_WidgetController apart from it uses manners_widgets/catalog_product_widget_chooser to build the grid., _(*5)

The class app/code/community/Manners/Widgets/Block/Catalog/Product/Massaction.php is used to extend the JavaScript for row and button selection. This will make sure that the varienGridMassaction is updated correctly and the selection is taken into account., _(*6)

There is also an extension of the standard JavaScript under js/manners/adminhtml/widgets.js for the following:, _(*7)

• add new parameter,
• extend varienGridMassaction.onGridRowClick to set new parameter with the text value no id value of the row,

ToDo

• Multiple selection for categories,
• Second load of selection before save,
