Title: Custom fields and groups
Post by: petriczech on May 23, 2017, 11:46:41 AM
Hi,

I bought plugin "Cherry Picker filtering" to filter products for my client. We used it on one website without problem.

Problem is that on the second website "Custom fields" are not in groups. And the plugin cannot see them than.

My question is: Is there anyway how to change custom fields assigned to products in database(or somewhere else) so we won't have to change that in every product separately?

Thank you very much

go to your custom field configuration and assign it to a group

Hi,
If you need to mass add customfields, you can use VM be Pro https://shop.st42.fr/en/products/vm-be-pro-batch-product-edit.htm from me.

Manually you can change the custom_id in the virtuemart_product_customfield table, so all are grouped under the same custom field type but note that it only work if you used same basic types and it's very easy to change it if you know mysql(do not forget to do a backup before changing anything).

Also check Custom Filters as an alternative to Cherry Picker
https://breakdesigns.net/extensions/joomla/custom-filters

It does not require the custom fields to belong at any group or any specific configuration.
