Support / Options dropdown BUG in Global Attributes
February 09, 2014, 06:06:42 PM
Hi,

I found a similar bug to the one from the product admin page (see one of the older topics), but this time under Global Attributes > Add new > Attribute Parent.

Here again one can only select from a list with max 10 (again that 10!) parent attributes, even though many more possible parent attributes are defined.

Where can we fix that? I tried but could not figure it out :(

Thx

Support / Dependable options?
February 09, 2014, 09:38:50 AM
Hi,

Is it possible to also have some dependable options?
For example if one specific value is selected in option one to have only specific values appear in option 2?

Thanks a lot

Hi.

How can I differently style the different types of options if they ALL have the same class ?!?!
I would like to have more groups of radio-box options positioned in floating blocks one near the other and not each option bellow the previous one. Imagine you have 10 groups of options - the way it is now, I'll end up with an endless list all in one column  :(

I would like to have at least a modifier class aside the standard <div class="control-group "> class.

Something like <div class="control-group "MY_CLASS_Maybe_option_type_or_id">

But HOW to get that second bit inthere as I cannot figure ANY parameters here  :(

Answer appreciated!

Thank you!

Support / How to pull image description in template?
January 24, 2014, 06:18:04 PM
Hi,
I noticed that images have a field called "description" attached to them, but that information is not used anywhere!

How can I pull the description in php to include it in a template?
(and by the occasion, maybe the image title as well)

Thanks!

Support / Admin session issue
January 24, 2014, 09:40:59 AM
This is an other one really bugging me and I cannot figure out how to fix it!
I am annoyed that even if not active only for a few minutes (5 to 10 maybe) I am asked to log back in!
I tried setting the session value to as high as 12000 in admin > system > system > "Control Panel Session Expiration:" but to no avail ! Nothing changed, the behaviour remains the same no matter what I enter in that box.

Anyone knows how to fix? Thx

Hi,
I noticed a bug in the Product > Options screen when trying to select a predefined global attribute which I wanted to attach to the product options.

The dropdown menu showing the predefined global attributes is only showing 10 (TEN) positions! So if I have 30 global attributes to define that's useless because according to this dropdown I can only select from the first 10 of them anyways...

I know it is so because once I disabled one of the global attributes the next in line suddenly showed in the dropdown menu.

Could you please correct that and tell us what/where to change or maybe upload here a patch or smth?

Thank you

Customization help / Options decsription?
January 23, 2014, 11:13:52 AM
Anyone knows of a way to add some description to the options?
It's quite "dry" to only have an option title, people always (and especially online) look for detailed descriptions.

Thanks!

Template Support / Short product description ?!?
January 20, 2014, 06:26:11 PM
How can we have something like a short description to be displayed for a product on the category listing page (the grid view), just under the image and before the "add to cart" button?

I have noticed you use the full product description in the "row" listing, which I don't think it's a great idea either. No user wants to see in a product listing the products with their full (!) descriptions. So this too should be somehow truncated.

All shopping carts have such an option and it's very useful to give the visitor an idea about what the product is about ... (but not let him read the whole story there)

An "in extremis" solution could be to use the first 200 characters (or first N words) from the usual description as a short description, anyone knows how can we achieve that (the code ?!) ?

I tried to adds smth. like this in product_listing.tpl but it did not work ...

<?php
 $text1 
$product['description'];
private function 
truncate($text1$length) {
   
$length abs((int)$length);
   if(
strlen($text1) > $length) {
      
$text preg_replace("/^(.{1,$length})(\s.*|$)/s"'\\1...'$text1);
   }
   return(
$text1);
}

  
?>


Could anyone please react to this and offer some help?

Thx a lot!

Support / Maintenance mode little bug?
January 16, 2014, 09:56:17 AM
Just wanted to point out that for me the maintenance mode seems to have a small bug.

It should " If logged in as admin, you will see the store as normal." but this is not happening. The store remains blocked even if I login as admin.

Support / How does "Discount" work ?
January 11, 2014, 05:56:53 PM
Hi,

Anyone helping me understand how does "Discount" work !??!

Is it a fix amount only or could be also applied as % ?
What about products with options? Does a discount apply to final price (say I have a starting price of zero and final price is given by options and options combinations only or ?!?!

THX

PS: Yes, I read the docu .. it does not clarify the issue
#12
Hi hi,

An other question :)

I could not figure out how/where the final price on the product page is calculated (the updated price on bottom of the product page, after options if options are used), can you help?

And where's the formula to calculate that final updated price ?!

I want to achieve smth like this for some of the products (so I'll 1st need to set an "if" array to apply to those product IDs only - and have no clue how to define that?)):

I'd use options to add variable parts to the product, each variable having a different weight. I was thinking to define that weight in % but have a rule which does not allow the summ of all chosen options together to be larger than 100 (like 100% is the maximum possible, right?). Like having a product where the customer could chose the % of each ingredient, making sure the max. % is not higher than 100%)

Can you help me with that?

Thank you!



#13
HI,

Where can we see the productID ?!?
And which "if" statement shall we use in product.tpl for ex in order to filter by or add some code pre-defined product IDs only?

Thank you!

Support / Weight Based Shipping - please clarify
January 08, 2014, 12:18:52 PM
Hi,

Sorry if I bump in with so many questions, but things are not yet clear and could not find a solution here yet.

For example ... could you please explain to me how is the extension supposed to calculate prices ?!?

You say: Rates: - Example: 5:12.50,10:20.00 Weight:Cost,Weight:Cost, etc.

So are the 12.50 valid for all weight bellow 5g (or kg, however the setting) or for the 5g weight ONLY?
It does not say anywhere, so I wonder if I only define 5:12.50,10:20.00 what happens for ex for a weight of 6g, 6,5g, 7g etc.?!?

Thank you


>> 2 days later >> No answer here so far ... nobody knows ?!?!

Support / How to set-up a second menu?
January 08, 2014, 07:40:16 AM
Hi,

I have searched the forums but could not find anything ...
How can one set-up a second menu?
I thought that the + icon allows me to do that but instead it is only adding new links to the already defined root menu ...

I need a secondary menu though, to be placed somewhere else on the site (maybe in one sidebar) ... how can I achieve that ?!?

Thanks

Hi,
Just noticed that images are uploaded to some resource library which seems linked to the language itself !? And it is not possible to use the same image for ALL languages !??!
So if I have 3 or 4 languages I must upload the SAME images 4 times !?
Isn't that over-loading the server unnecessary (not to mention the time needed to upload all that stuff 4 times) ?!

Is there a trick that I am missing here?

Thx!

Support / hide price tag if product price is zero?
January 06, 2014, 12:23:17 PM
Hi,

I have an other question...

I am setting up a product where the price is given based on options and combinations only, so the initial product price is actually zero...

How can I hide that price tag that appears near the image on the top part of the product layout if the price is zero?

Even better would be to have the final price show there, the way it us bui,t with one price on the top one at bottom is confusing for the users who may not know anymore which is what...

Thank you!

Support / Quantity for options combination .. ?
January 06, 2014, 09:45:35 AM
Hi,

I must say that so far this cart is the 1st one I am testing that comes closer to what a 2014 shopping cart should look like.

However, one detail is still missing to make it really keep pace with the latest trends in e-commerce.

Attaching a quantity field to any options combination is what I am missing in all the carts I have evaluated so far, abantecart included.

Is there a way to achieve that?

Say I have a product with following option combinations:

Combination1 made out of the following (imagine selling a box of chocolates with various flavors, the customer is the one deciding how many of each flavor comes into the box):
      Option1:
          - Dark chocolate
          - Milk chocolate
       Option2: Filling
          - Mint
          - Chocolate
          - Blueberry

Now what I am still missing here is the possibility for the customer to pick up a quantity for the wished combination, say "10 pieces "Dark chocolate with mint flavor" and 15 pieces "Milk chocolate / Blueberry filling". And they all come into the same box ...

You know what I mean?

Is it possible to attach a quantity field to say the "Filling" option?

How can I do that?

Thank you in advance

Support / Options with images
January 04, 2014, 03:16:44 AM
Hi
This cart was one of my last hopes but I enountered a crucial issue ...
Cannot set images for attributes variations, and needless to say a product without proper images is a dead story

Can you give me a clue as of how to alter the code and where in order to allocate at least one image for each options combination?

Thx
