Hi. Thank you for responding. PrestaShop 1.6. I'm developing it on a local Apache server as there's no remote space for it yet. I've read through various things on this forum and there doesn't seem any clear indication as to what it might be. I don't beleive it's the same thing that has tripped it off the second time because it has manifested differently. I've not had time to touch the site this week, but hope to get back to it next week.

Hi It seems to me, as I try to set up my small store - without attempting anything ambitious - the ajax feature breaks. I've had to start over once already because the 'add to cart' button was being given the class="unvisible" and it was entirely beyond my skills to discover/understand where and how that was being assigned. Now I discover that the roll over action in category view (grid of products), which was totally fine has stopped operating. I do not know when this happened exactly, so am not able to fathom what might have tripped it and undo it. I've added products, replaced images in the places where images are offered for changing in the back of office and disabled some modules. That's it. The some total of my meddling. I've checked through the modules that I've disabled and none of them look guilty. Yes, I'll turn them all back on again though this is what I did last time to no avail so I'm not hopeful... infact I'm loosing the will to live to be honest. I cannot start over again again.... not as it seems to break so easily, so the chances of it happening again are high. (I've searched these forums till I'm blue in the face, as much of what is in here relates to 1.5, not 1.6 and it's not always clear when the old version is the subject of the topic - makes it all the harder/confusing for a newbie). Yours downhearted Star

Hi, I hope someone will kindly give me their view on this. (I think I may have titled the post wrong.. as I've written, I've thought more so it's changed slightly). I have this situation: 1 product with the same price, features and dimensions. This 1 product has three SKU numbers and three images relating to three colour ways. Another way of describing this is: I have three ranges of product, one in blue, one in pink and one in multi-colours. In each range are the exact same products, just in the different colours. The whole philosophy of the site is that customers shop-by-colour. Say I have 9 products in each colour, that is: 27. Not a huge number, but.... When I need to change my prices, or features, I would prefer to alter 9 products, not 27. My prices are the most likely to change as my volumes are very low currently, but I'm really hoping this will change and I want to adjust my prices as it does. So, forutnately PrestaShop (1.6) allows me to 'associate' each product with all three colour categories - great. So one problem attempting to achieve this then, is how do I tell PrestaShop to display the blue image when the product is displayed for the blue category... CSS/JS? Place all images as a background and hide or show depending, or dynamically change the src via JS... I'm searching for the id or class that is output when a category is present. Is there something I'm missing... a best way to structure the database? I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to help... I hope to be able to help others in here myself oneday. (PrestaShop 1.6) Thank you. ----------- Edit: I'm looking at combinations... and admit, it's over my head. It's taking time to get my head around the feature. I'm playing with it but not sure it's displaying products to the customer in the way I've outlined above - as in: navigate by combination in the top menu... rather than category....ooohhhh, I'm lost.

Oh I see. I am new to PS, very new. It is possible to order the product display using the reference (set under Preferences > product ). I had been using this for the SKU number and was not sure it was in the right box. The SKU numbers do not necessarily follow the order I want the product to display in and connot be changed. I will do some more research on which is the correct box for the SKU code. I really could do with a faster way to edit product in bulk - so I can whip through and re-input all the SKU into an alternative box. Thankfully I've not input all my product yet... Wondering if I should cut and run to an alternative shopfront....

Hi Reading through what I can find about the order product is displayed in - well it's the IDs that dictate this. It is important that I can decide the order my products are displayed in - and it might need to change depending on the season for example. It seems in 1.5 there were little arrows supposed to be available next to the product so as to drag the order. I've not been able to bring up these little arrows in 1.6 (and am thinking I've made a mistake using 1.6). So ... it appears the only way is to wade into the database itself and change the ID's. I've seen a complicated schema for the database, but is there a simpler list of which tables the product IDs occur in? Thank you.

Ha... catalog > products > [edit product] > Options: Available for order Show Price Online only There must have been two of these ticked on the product in the demo I've just edited to create my own. So the phrase "Product available with different options" does not mean the product comes with optional features... it means... well I don't know.... my first language is English and PrestaShop is challenging to say the least in its use of words to label things.

Hi I'm trying to set up my store with PrestaShop 1.6 (Default theme) Immediate Problem: I'm totally stumped by "Product available with different options". Where is that coming from? (I've had a search about and not found anything - feel free to tell me I'm blind as bat :-) Thank you. All help appreciated. !!! OH really sorry, posted this in the upgrading when should have been in creating...
