Category Custom Fields UI for AbleCommerce

In an earlier post we blogged about custom fields UI for products in AbleCommerce merchant admin. It helped merchants easily define custom fields for their products. However a lot of merchants also want the ability to have custom fields for categories. Keeping this in view we are posting a new add-on that will allow managing custom fields for categories also.

How to Use

• On the category edit page you will see a new button “Custom Fields”. On clicking “Custom Fields” you will be taken to a page where you can add/edit/delete custom fields for the current category.
• Custom fields are specific to the category they are defined form. They are not online casinos shared or inherited by other categories or products
• The values of the custom fields set can be accessed in many ways depending on the application and your custom needs.
• An example of how to display the category custom fields is included as a ConLib control. You can use the control on a category page scriptlet as follows
  [[ConLib:Plugables/CategoryCustomFields]]
  This will display the custom fields associated with the category. You can have a look at the code inside this control to see how category custom fields are accessed if you need more advanced customization.
