Dear SIrs. First of all many thanks for Your contribution - it is very useful even for people with no initial skills in programming and experience in Prestashop. I read this forum since 2014 with many thanks for all of You sharing experience and helping to others. I have asked the question in the https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/248566-tutorial-how-to-automatically-disable-out-of-stock-products/, and have got some answers and recommends from Eolia but no solution yet. Maybe wider circle could help me. The problem is: Prestashop 1.6.1.7 / Store Commander ************************************************************************************************************************************************* Sometimes we need to solve another task - how to make all of products active even when the stock is 0 . We have used Eolia's Update Elements (free version making the product disabled when the stock=0) addon with success and thanks to author as we usually have > 10,000 products - each 1 pc in stock. So the products were disabled just after ordering and everything going smooth and clear. Worked great! Now we need to improve SEO (to avoid 404 pages) and customers' usability (to get the link to the product page in the product history - order-detail.tpl file in the template was edited) so we do need to keep the products active even with zero stock. We decided to use import CSV feature (using Store Commander in fact) to change product status (to active) and visibility (both, catalog, search or none). After disabling and unistalling Update ELements I have found a very strange behaviour. 1. When I change both the product status (to Active) and visibility (to any status) - everything is good (Checked in DB and B/O) 2. But after some time products statuses get disabled for all of products with zero stock. As it could be with Update Elements addon enabled :-). 3. After some testing and exploring I have found that the statuses of zero stock products are changed just after any order placed (as it was with UpdateElements addon enabled). Not only for the products ordered but for all of zero stocked products (>5,000 products), 4. I experimented with different visibility (both, catalog, search or none) and active status to enable. Everything is fine just after updating in DB but after any order all of products with no stock are changed to disabled and urls go to 404 page *************************************************************************************************************************************************************** I have received some answers and support from Eolia but have not solved the problem yet He has recommended me to look deeper into /classes/Product.php, /classes/PaymentModule.php or /classes/order/OrderHistory.php The only file changed after last CMS update is PaymentModule.php but I do not know what to look. (Should I compare changed copy with original one?) I do not have experience in exploring the code. What parts of files to look over? Where could be the problem? Any ideas would be appreciated Thank You in advance

Learned many topics regarding - How to add {shipping_number} variable into shipped email template Tracking No should be inserted by Admin before changing status to SHIPPED Trying to locate this piece of code inside the file ***/controllers/admin/AdminOrdersController.php Found two similar parts of this. Can anybody help which part of code to be replaced?... The first one? Both of them? Understand I could have add just '{shipping_number}' => $order->shipping_number Thank You in advance UPD: I have changed the first piece of code and found white screen in Admin >>> Orders

Great!!! Many thanks! I've arranged carriers restriction with Free shipment cart rule for orders exceeds the level. And could not understand why "free delivery" notice appears for chosen carriers . It should be the amount here and the customer could pick required option. If no restrictions applied - all of carriers are shown with the delivery costs. And free delivery will be calculated on the final confirmation step. Of course the cart rule's free shipment bug (for separate choice of carriers) is still there. But Your message is very helpful for me. Hope all of this topic wi be helpful for others. Long live Prestashop forum!

I started to edit by the plan presented by jbob23, go through some steps 1. Through the Hosting control panel I can edit tpl files , but cannot edit php - product.php and blocklayered.php . UPD: Hosting people adviced me that there is a restriction for direct editing (via control panel) of large files and recommend me to use FTP - will do a bit later 2. Regarding note of "What to add" by [email protected] <p id="product_condition"> <label>{l s='Condition'} </label> {if $product->condition == 'new'} <link itemprop="itemCondition" href="http://schema.org/NewCondition"/> <span class="editable">{l s='New'}</span> {elseif $product->condition == 'used'} <link itemprop="itemCondition" href="http://schema.org/UsedCondition"/> <span class="editable">{l s='Used'}</span> {elseif $product->condition == 'refurbished'} <link itemprop="itemCondition" href="http://schema.org/Re...shedCondition"/> <span class="editable">{l s='Refurbished'}</span> {elseif $product->condition == 'handmade'} <link itemprop="itemCondition" href="http://schema.org/HandmadeCondition"/> <span class="editable">{l s='Handmade'}</span> {/if} I found the following http://schema.org/OfferItemCondition And Damaged condition added in the scheme: http://schema.org/DamagedCondition So I risked to edit as follows <p id="product_condition"> <label>{l s='Condition'} </label> {if $product->condition == 'new'} <link itemprop="itemCondition" href="http://schema.org/NewCondition"/> <span class="editable">{l s='New'}</span> {elseif $product->condition == 'used'} <link itemprop="itemCondition" href="http://schema.org/UsedCondition"/> <span class="editable">{l s='Used'}</span> {elseif $product->condition == 'refurbished'} <link itemprop="itemCondition" href="http://schema.org/Re...shedCondition"/> <span class="editable">{l s='Refurbished'}</span> {elseif $product->condition == 'damaged'} <link itemprop="itemCondition" href="http://schema.org/DamagedCondition"/> <span class="editable">{l s='Damaged'}</span> {/if} Update 3. I did all files modifications offered by jbob23. product.tpl information.tpl product.php blocklayered.php 4. I run two different SQL queries ALTER TABLE `ps_product` CHANGE `condition` `condition` ENUM('new','used','refurbished','damaged') CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT 'new'; ALTER TABLE `ps_product_shop` CHANGE `condition` `condition` ENUM('new','used','refurbished','damaged') CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT 'new'; (frankly I am not good in understanding the details and responses - PHPMyadmin return null record in both cases - guess it is normal as not yet products with the new condition (damaged) inside Please see screenshot http://joxi.ru/Grqyqv0SbdkDrz 5. The result BO - Product information - damaged option appears in the drop down list of condition options When did I try to assign the product with the new option and see - blank of the BO page appeared with Internal server error 500 Same result - for FO for sure Any idea - which steps were missed or wrong? Thank You in advance

Good evening, Prestashop gurus and enthusiasts! Could You please help me to solve the problem I have with the debug mode on and off My site is as follows: http://mk-i-tochka.ru.xsph.ru/ 1. When I test now - I have an error above the site content - please see screenshot http://joxi.ru/p27owbDCLexl27 I know the nature of the error - it is regarding delivery module which require complete information about shipping weight and dimensions. In root/config folder the file defines.inc.php includes the code which is to disable the debug mode as follows: /* Debug only */ if (!defined('_PS_MODE_DEV_')) define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', false); /* Compatibility warning */ define('_PS_DISPLAY_COMPATIBILITY_WARNING_', false); if (_PS_MODE_DEV_) { @ini_set('display_errors', 'on'); @error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); define('_PS_DEBUG_SQL_', true); } else { @ini_set('display_errors', 'off'); define('_PS_DEBUG_SQL_', false); } define('_PS_DEBUG_PROFILING_', false); define('_PS_MODE_DEMO_', false); It is strange for me. Why does this appear even with turned off debug mode? I would be pleased if You could give me an idea. 2. Yesterday I tried to set up watermark module. And it has crushed my BO and FO - I asked hosting support people to recover. After recovery some message could start appearing (something happenned wrong with ajax cart adding and deleting) - please see the following screenshot http://joxi.ru/gmv7EbQfeYnQ2a Impossible to add the product to the cart. textStatus: 'parsererror' errorThrown: 'SyntaxError: Unexpected token a' responseText: array(1) { ["error"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(2) { ["code"]=> int(4) ["text"]=> string(70) "Ошибка при указании параметров 0 места" } } } array(1) { ["error"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(2) { ["code"]=> int(4) ["text"]=> string(70) "Ошибка при указании параметров 0 места" } } } {"products":[{"id":641,"link":"http:\/\/mk-i-tochka.ru.xsph.ru\/svitera-pulovery-djempery\/641-djemper.html#\/razmer_odezhda_staryj-46\/cvet-seryj","quantity":1,"image":"http:\/\/mk-i-tochka.ru.xsph.ru\/510-home_default\/djemper.jpg","image_cart":"http:\/\/mk-i-tochka.ru.xsph.ru\/510-cart_default\/djemper.jpg","priceByLine":"400 \u0440\u0443\u0431","name":"\u0414\u0436\u0435\u043c\u043f\u0435\u0440 Oiu","price":"400 \u0440\u0443\u0431","price_float":400,"idCombination":416,"idAddressDelivery":47,"is_gift":false,"hasAttributes":true,"attributes":"46, \u0421\u0435\u0440\u044b\u0439","hasCustomizedDatas":false,"customizedDatas":[]},{"id":20,"link":"http:\/\/mk-i-tochka.ru.xsph.ru\/kofty-bluzki-rubashki\/20-vodolazka-rozovaja.html#\/razmer_odezhda_staryj-36\/cvet-rozovyj","quantity":3,"image":"http:\/\/mk-i-tochka.ru.xsph.ru\/453-home_default\/vodolazka-rozovaja.jpg","image_cart":"http:\/\/mk-i-tochka.ru.xsph.ru\/453-cart_default\/vodolazka-rozovaja.jpg","priceByLine":"1 200 \u0440\u0443\u0431","name":"\u0412\u043e\u0434\u043e\u043b\u0430\u0437\u043a\u0430 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u043e\u0432\u0430\u044f","price":"1 200 \u0440\u0443\u0431","price_float":1200,"idCombination":534,"idAddressDelivery":47,"is_gift":false,"hasAttributes":true,"attributes":"36, \u0420\u043e\u0437\u043e\u0432\u044b\u0439","hasCustomizedDatas":false,"customizedDatas":[]}],"discounts":[],"shippingCost":"240 \u0440\u0443\u0431","shippingCostFloat":240,"wrappingCost":"0 \u0440\u0443\u0431","nbTotalProducts":4,"total":"1 840 \u0440\u0443\u0431","productTotal":"1 600 \u0440\u0443\u0431","freeShipping":"0 \u0440\u0443\u0431","freeShippingFloat":0,"hasError":false,"crossSelling":"" Also on deleting products from the cart (using ajax) - Error: unable to delete the product Please advice any idea how to fix that problem Thank You in advance

Many thanks for Your kind answer. Yes, if I enable the default favoriteproducts mmodule from Prestashop quicksearch is working

First of all many thanks to Alex Simonchik, A_Distortion and other discussion makers For Prestashop 1.6.0.9. (default-bootstrap) My idea was to get this feature (Favourite products) for the user who could mark interesting products and place them to his favourites area (like a short memory during session). 1. I tried the module prepared by of A_Distortion. It works for sure placing required button and string (Add this to my favourite products) onto product's container on the list of products 2. How to make the button and link enabled for the customers not logged in . I trace through the module and find the following inside /modules/favoriteproducts/favouriteproducts.php public function hookDisplayLeftColumnProduct($params) { include_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/FavoriteProduct.php'); $this->smarty->assign(array( 'isCustomerFavoriteProduct' => (FavoriteProduct::isCustomerFavoriteProduct($this->context->customer->id, Tools::getValue('id_product')) ? 1 : 0), 'isLogged' => (int)$this->context->customer->logged, )); return $this->display(__FILE__, 'favoriteproducts-extra.tpl'); } I feel that it is here. But I have no experience in php - how to change it. 3. After enabling changes proposed in this topic (CategoryController.php , product-list.tpl and A_Distortion version of favourite products module ) I have found that Quick search (blocksearch) did not work as ajax. It is searching just after clicking Go button. When I disabled favouriteproducts module - quicksearch works again Any idea how does this effect work? NB: If anybody knows other decisions - how to give the easy tool to the customer = to keep favourite products during browsing session - it would be great. Thank You in advance

Thanks a lot, dioniz! Great and useful contribution!

Dear Prestashop gurus and inspired newbies. I cannot solve some question important for me so I would be pleased if You could take a look onto screenshot. I do not speak fluent in smarty and css languages so hope it would be easy for You to solve the following ideas: Need smaller thumbs (like 100*100 rather than 166*166 - theme default-bootstrap) and more info on the product to be displayed below or side to the each product's image 1. How to decrease image size for same products category block? I try through BO image resizing and regenerating thumbs (even down to cart_default size - it works for blockview and some other modules but here - nothing. I guess it is the question mainly on the whole image container block size. 2. Is that possible to add some content in the productscategory.tpl to display in the block close to image - like brief description or manufacturer image? I tried with the same technique as for product-list.tpl but nothing appeared. Thank You in advance

Many thanks, DrunkBug ! I played with col-md- parameter for left-block, center block as You recommend and see now that the view is appropriate. html += '<div class="left-block col-xs-4 col-xs-5 col-md-3">' + $(element).find('.left-block').html() + '</div>'; html += '<div class="center-block col-xs-4 col-xs-7 col-md-5">'; Left-block col-md-* changed from 4 to 3 Center-block col-md-* changed from 4 to 5 to balance the full width of the product-list.tpl More or less understood structure of columns - thank You very much. Also warm words for other Prestashop forum users who shares useful things on that issue. Like those topics http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/345937-prestashop-product-center-column-width-100/ http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/337177-solved-get-smaller-product-boxes/ and many others...

Hello, DrunkBug! Thanks for Your attention. Guess You mean product-list.tpl I have found something like this in my file - it looks different: I have made some minor changes here to adopt 4 columns in the grid view: (thanks to tutorial - http://blog.belvg.com/how-to-change-default-grid-in-prestashop-1-6.html ) Guess I should to read something more about the template structure because I am not good in this language. Thank You in advance for Your recommends.

Many thanks, El Patron!

Отлично, спасибо!

Hi! Thanks for Your attention. Please take a look - http://mk-i-tochka.ru/7-kofty-bluzki-vodolazki I have not found the way through the product_list.css editing

Hello, Prestashop gurus and newbies! First of all many thanks for this forum as a huge information, knowledge and know-how source. It helps even people with minor skills in smarty and css like me. I found many answers for my questions even without any new topic placing. I would be pleased if You could give me some feeddback how to get more compact view of product-list (list view) and product pages in default-bootstrap theme. I tried to resize images (home-default) from 250*250 to 150*150 in order to make view of product listing more compact and to get the rows narrow. Grid view is ok - I get the decision changing No of columns per page from 3 to 4. The height of image-container is getting smaller but the width is the same as for default sizes (250 * 250). The image container is getting rectangular rather than squared. I cannot find the decision playing with product-list.tpl and product_list.css. How to remove those background side fields (marked with red crosses - screen attached) and to get squared view of the container? Appreciate Your comments
