Features
- Full Product Search: Search for products just like a customer would and display the results in the products grid. This is extremely handy when helping a customer find a product. To clear a search filter, click on "Reset Filter".
- Grid Row Highlighter: Highlight a bunch of rows by dragging your cursor over the rows while holding CTRL. Each highlighted row will be checked off. This will apply to all grids (including the catalog grid).
- Catalog Grid Thumbnails/Images: Shows product thumbnail images in the catalog product grid in a very organized and maintainable manor.
- Persistent Catalog Grid Settings: Set the default page size, default sort, default columns to show, etc. The settings will be stored in your Store Config so you can save some time.
- Mass Product Refresh: Loads and saves a bunch of products. This was built to aid in addressing a data inconsistency issue
- Quick Export; Select the export to CSV action from the mass action drop down and it'll create a CSV with all the selected products and send it as a file to your browser.
- Custom Catalog Product Grid Columns: Lets you select which columns you want to see in the catalog product grid. For example, short description, long description, custom attributes, etc. You will also be able to change and quickly view product images thumbnails here.
- Product Image Thumbnail Column: You will be able to view product image thumbnails in a neat column in the catalog grid.
- Date Created Column: Choose to show the "date created" value for a product
Installation Instructions
This module should be fully plug and play. If you're using a custom back-end package/skin, which you're probably not, you should transfer over the layout tbt_enhancedgrid.xml and tbt/enhancedgrid templates folder to your own back-end package/skin. Make sure you clear your cache. Logging in and logging back out may also be required.
When the module is enabled you will see an asterisk "*" beside the Catalog -> Manage Products menu option in the back-end.
Error in config after install for Magento 1.5: If you are still seeing the error "Fatal error: Call to a member function setEntityTypeFilter()" please go to the releases tab and click on the latest version and use that extension key.
To uninstall/disable: To turn off Enhanced Product Grid modify the app/etc/modules/TBT_Enhancedgrid.xml file and set the 'active' value to 'false'. (note: Turning off module output is not the same thing and it will does not disable the module, rather it just disables output so you're left with a blank product management screen )
Works with Magento 1.3 and up.
