php / mysql god assistance needed

php / mysql god assistance needed

This is a long shot but maybe some god here will point me in the right direction.

I have 2 sites using PowerStore. One is the actual store, and one uses the product tables in the parent site to present more information about the products.

The store is here: milemarkersports.com

The parent company is here: sporthill.com

So, if a shopper goes to the branded site, sporthill, she will see pages that present the groups of products, then the individual product page: products2011.php?ProductGroup=5510


This page pulls details from the cart database.

Now, on this page, I created a list of product colors. See right side bar called colors. I did this using this:

SELECT *
FROM ps4_products
WHERE ProductGroup = $product_group

then on the page:

<?php while ( $row_thumbs = mysql_fetch_assoc($thumbs) ) {
?>
<img src="http://milemarkersports.com/store/imagesupload/thumb/<?php echo $row_thumbs['ProductThumb']; ?>" alt="" name="thumbs" width="175">
<?php
}
?>

So now client wants to add all the sizes available per product group.

Looking at the way PS has built out the options, I see this:

ProductOptions share a key with products: ProductID
ProductOptions and OptionsGroups share key: OptionGroup ID.

So, I am looking for help to get the product group, list all optiongroupname = Size, and then the optionname. Is it possible? (In my optionsname I have color names and size names)

I want to change where it shows colors to now show colors and sizes. The sizes can just be plain text above the list of color images.

Any ideas if this can be done or am I just overly hopeful.

Thanks as always.

in the productoptions table, the the GroupingID column relates to the optionsgroups table OptionGroupID column, and to the ps4_options table OptionGroupID.

look in the optiongroup table and find the OptionGroupID value for the Size OptionGroup Name.


then you can use a JOIN query to return the sizes available for a product using the product ID and the Size options group ID, for example:

SELECT ps4_options.optionName 
FROM ps4_options
INNER JOIN ps4_productoptions
ON ps4_options.OptionGroupID = ps4_productoptions.GroupingID
WHERE ps4_options.OptionGroupID = '1' AND ps4_productoptions.ProductID = '1'
GROUP BY ps4_options.optionName




If you need further assistance with this, we can help you in a premiere support appointment.

If your directions of "look in the optiongroup table" means look in the database, there are manyOptionGroupIDs for size... Did I understand directions? Screenshot attached

hmmm, then try using this SQL, this way you don't need an option group ID, just the name 'Size'

SELECT ps4_options.optionName 
FROM ps4_options
INNER JOIN ps4_productoptions
ON ps4_options.OptionGroupID = ps4_productoptions.GroupingID
INNER JOIN ps4_optiongroups
ON ps4_options.OptionGroupID = ps4_optiongroups.OptionGroupID
WHERE ps4_optiongroups.OptionGroupName = 'Size' AND ps4_productoptions.ProductID = '1'
GROUP BY ps4_options.optionName

Thanks... tried it.

On the page put this:

<?php do { ?>
<?php echo $row_sizes['optionName']; ?><br>
<?php } while ($row_sizes = mysql_fetch_assoc($sizes)); ?>


products2011TEST.php?ProductGroup=5510

wouldn't there need to be something that ties it to a product id?

To get all the other product group data on the page, this was included:

mysql_select_db($database_mmsstore, $mmsstore);
$query_products2 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM ps4_products WHERE ProductGroup = %s", $product_group);
$products2 = mysql_query($query_products2, $mmsstore) or die(mysql_error());
$row_products2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($products2);
$totalRows_products2 = mysql_num_rows($products2);

so with that logic, wouldn't

WHERE ProductGroup = %s

have to be part of the query?

it ties to the product ID in the where clause:
WHERE ps4_optiongroups.OptionGroupName = 'Size' AND ps4_productoptions.ProductID = '1'


if you wanted to return more than just the optionName , you will need to edit the select clause:

SELECT ps4_options.optionName

to include any other columns to return


if you wanted to also use the ProductGroup as a filter, you would need to add that to the where clause.

I'm not going to be able to give you the exact SQL to use for what you are trying to do, I can only give a push in the right direction, using a join query to get related data.

this really isn't supported, if you need exact query help, please sign up for a premiere support appointment.
