Dimension and package quantity fields in Views

Sorry, meybe this is offtop, but.
I have problem with dimensions.
On hook_load ubercart set variables like this:
$node->Length;
But on hook_update and hook_insert that use variables like this:
$node->dim_length;

S if I run this code dimensions is set to 0;

$node=node_load($nid);
node_save($node);

try to use node instead of fields. You can create a separate display by using this template node-view-.tpl.php

So I've accomplished this with some php code. Not sure if that is wise, but it is the only thing I could think of.

I created a custom php field with the custom fields module. the code begins with

$node = node_load($data->nid);

This dumps all the data relating to the product into $node. You can then inspect it using devel to get whichever variable names you want. Then you just add some

$output .= print $node->VARIABLENAME;

lines for what you want printed.

we need dimensions in Views/Panels/Display Suite

ya, i need this feature too. we want to manipulate dimension, package quantity and shipping field. this is what makes drupal great. we can manipulate the module fields.

No support for dimension in Views yet.
also, no dimension or weight support in Panels yet. and the dev module is not even an official release yet.

I'm loosing all confidence in Ubercart and it's team.

Subscribing. I'm also surprised that this feature hasn't been implemented yet.

Subscribing. agree with setfree.

I created patch for this issue.
I just added db fields to views definitions with default handlers.

In this patch included only 3 fields:

• Product: Length
• Product: Width
• Product: Height

UPD:
This patch for lastest dev revision for 6.x.

Awesome! Seems to be working, thanks! Any chance of getting the package quantity and shipping origin zip code added too? ;)

This could be added to the uc_views project if the Ubercart maintainers are not interested.

Ok, I can add packege quantity to this patch.
Where I can find zip code?
By default "Product information" doesn't have this field.

Same patch, but now with "package quantity".

i was able to add a shipping origin zip field with the following addition to the same module:

$data['uc_quote_product_locations']['table']['group'] = t('Shipping');
  $data['uc_quote_product_locations']['table']['join'] = array(
    // Index this array by the table name to which this table refers.
    // 'left_field' is the primary key in the referenced table.
    // 'field' is the foreign key in this table.
    'node' => array(
      'left_field' => 'nid',
      'field' => 'nid',
    ),
  );
  
  $data['uc_quote_product_locations']['postal_code'] = array(
    'title' => t('Zip Code'),
    'help' => t('Zip Code'),
    'field' => array(
      'table' => 'node',
      'additional fields' => array(
        'nid' => array(
          'table' => 'node',
          'field' => 'nid',
        ),
      ),
      'handler' => 'views_handler_field',
      'click sortable' => TRUE,
      'float' => TRUE,
    ),
    'sort' => array(
      'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
    ),
    'filter' => array(
      'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_string',
    ),
  );

Patch in #13 is a good start. I think it would be good to add a new handler that optionally displays the units, and also a single "dimensions" field that shows all 3 values (and units) in a single Views field.

If the shipping origin fields are also to be added, that should be addressed in a new issue.

Marked #985702: Add package quantity field in Views as duplicate, as it seems easier to deal with both in one issue.

yes, please seperate the add to cart button from the quantity field.

subscribing, having package quantities in Views would be a blast!

TY, longwave! Maybe on this week I could write a handler for dimensions.

5n00py, any progress on #19?

By the way, what are shortcomings of just creating the dimensions field in node with cck?

Tagging.

Marked #1279472: Product dimensions (LxWxH) not exposed to viewes? as duplicate

Let's take care of this in 7.x-3.x first.

It would be great to expose the default quantity to add to cart too. Attached patch does this against 6.x-dev (sorry don't have the time to update it against 7.x-dev atm).

Is there a patch to add dimensions to views for drupal 7?
Will it work in panels?

Patch in #9 works fine for me. Thanks.

#9th patch is working fine.
Thanks
