Whilst I respect forum rules about not posting links to commercial services, I cannot help feeling slightly helpless as well. For example, on the osCommerce forum I saw  threads by users struggling to edit their products values. Some excerpts are below:

I love osCommerce, but an annoying thing about it, is that you can’t seem to bulk edit products, like select all the products you have and edit the product description or the product price in one go, rather then having to edit each product individually. (Posted 26 February 2010)

OR

Have you considered the add on Product Quick Edit? It still does them one at a time but much faster.

Such updates can be done with Apsona ShopAdmin with just a few clicks. No need of  SQL or coding.  You can mass update tens of records at the same time, with new values to 5 fields at one time.  Below is an example showing mass update or bulk editing to all the products in the Software category.

• In the Products table make a filter with the Category Software. If the filter exists just click the filter.
• Click Update All under Tools.
• Click the drop down and select the field. Enter the new value to the field.
• Click Update.

The screen shot shows 5  fields being updated at the same time. Results are seen instantly in the osCommerce application.

So  for all osCommerce  and Zen Cart users out there please try ShopAdmin for mass or bulk editing of your products.  Sign up for a free account and experience the Update All feature.
