[ic] IC 4.7.7 - Modifying Admin UI

[Corey Gilmore]

Hi All,

I am in the process of completing my upgrade from 4.6.5 -> 4.7.7.  I
decided to take some extra time, and convert my 4.6.5 catalog.cfg (i only
had one) to the 4.7.7 format, to take advantage of some new features.  I
also had to add the changes I'd made to the 4.6.5 admin UI.

To add a new item in the UI, I edited lib/UI/icmenu.txt and inserted the
middle (conference) line

0051	Items	14				item_id	admin/item_price	item_id=[cgi item_id]&ui_sequence_edit=[cgi ui_sequence_edit]&item_id_left=[cgi item_id_left]	Pricing
0052	Items	15				item_id	admin/item_conf	item_id=[cgi item_id]&ui_sequence_edit=[cgi ui_sequence_edit]&item_id_left=[cgi item_id_left]	Conference
0053	Items	16				item_id	admin/item_up	item_id=[cgi item_id]&ui_sequence_edit=[cgi ui_sequence_edit]&item_id_left=[cgi item_id_left]	Up-sell

I added the item_conf file in the admin dir, and made the appropriate
changes to item_edit.html and merchandising.html

I ran into a little trouble here too...
	@special = grep /\S/, split /[,\0]+/, $meta->{outboard};
	unless (@special) {
		@special = (
			'Qty price;pricing:q5:r',
			'Conf;conference:sku:r',
			'Up-sell;merchandising:upsell_to:r',
			'Cross-sell;merchandising:cross_sell:r',
			'Promo;merchandising:featured:r',
			'Inventory;inventory:quantity:r',
			);
	}


I couldn't quite figure out how to put together the line in
mv_metadata.asc for this.  Anyone have any suggestions?

thanks,
.cfg
