Good evening to everyone, I apologize if I ask the question in the wrong forum but in fact I could not understand who to turn to, I'm trying to create and manage my first store in prestashop and I ran into a difficulty that at the moment I can not overcome so I hope to receive some advice / suggestion here Premise: The shop is for a fast food, the current menu already operating in the fast food has several categories of dishes that I have already reported in the online store in the Catalog> Products for example: pasta with sauce, meatballs, breaded slices etc. etc. but for the product "salad" instead I have a big difficulty because this dish can be composed using only 4 ingredients on a list of 15 available. The choice is obviously at the discretion of the customer but once chosen the 4 ingredients he can not add others. Now I had created the dish named "Insalatone" and among the Attributes I had put the various ingredients: potatoes, tomatoes, bocconcini etc. etc. the value of these Attributes I set it using a Radio Box and are therefore two value in all Attributes: YES and NO After that I went to the Combinations where on the left I find YES / NO potatoes, YES / NO tomatoes, YES / NO tidbits, etc. and there I entered the Combinations and then I Generated the combinations: for example I can make it this dish: insalatone with: potatoes SI, tomatoes SI, tuna SI, cheese SI or insalatone with: tomatoes Si, lattuce SI, tuna SI, olives Si etc. But I meet some difficulties: 1) I do not know how to limit the customer to select just 4 ingredients (attribute). At the moment I can practically select them all and it's not good 2) Considering that I now have 8 ingredients (attribute) , the combinations that have been generated are many, but if I wanted to add another new ingredient (attribute) to the already created combinations, I first have to delete them all and recreate them again adding the last ingredient / attribute? I looked at some addons on the combinations of products but there are various prices and skills for this I confess to have difficulty understanding which one is suitable for my needs, I hope I have explained as clearly as possible and to receive some advice, if needed I can attach a few screens to see how the customer shop looks. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I currently use Erply to manage my stock and chose the cloud based program as I was interested in the integration with Prestashop as well as the ipad app. The idea was that if I sold something at a market then the inventory would be updated on our online shop through Prestashop. As I am trying to pull the website together I notice that the sync between Erply/Inventory.com and Prestashop does not account for matrix/combination products. This is extremely annoying as it means that each product of the matrix appears as a separate item. For example, we sell some clothes, each size appears as a separate item, rather than a drop down box where the colour/size can be selected. Another frustrating aspect is it appears to be a manual sync and I am looking at a way to automate it so when I take a product out of stock, the stock levels update online. I wrote the above information to the support team at Erply and received the following response: The Prestashop connector is open source and without warranty. It is provided as a basic starting point and may require further development for customer specific needs. For this reason we provide this connector as open source to allow a Prestashop expert to develop upon it. In order to build the connector to your specifications you would need to add these options. If you are not familiar with working with this we suggest hiring a 3rd party Prestashop expert to assist you with the changes. I have noticed a couple of other people have asked questions about this. Has anyone created a module where the above issues are addressed? It might be worth fixing and charging a small amount for the module to recover costs. Does anyone have any skills that would be able to assist and or provide advice/guidance on the time frames/costs involved. Thanks, Jade The module I am currently using is: Order Management & Inventory Management Developed by : Inventory.com Version : 1.5.1 Category : Migration Tools Description : Order & inventory management backend for PrestaShop Details about the connector/module and information can be obtained here: http://www.inventory.com/prestashop/integration/ or here http://erply.com/integrations-with-partners/erply-integration-with-prestashop/ (open source info can be found here). I have no idea where to start, I am happy to pay for the assistance, just need to find out if it is cost effective or is going to be more trouble than it's worth?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew a quick php mod to stop the combination products having their own stock levels. The problem is that our supplier doesnt give us the stock levels for individual shell colours for rc cars we sell. The car is either in stock or out of stock. We use a csv import to manage our stock. Obviously the combinations have seperate stock levels. I really need the 'main' stock level to mirror accross to the combination levels. Is there a quick way of modifying the php to do this? Im still using 1.4.7.0 Would really appreciate any help. Cheers Dan
