Hi all, I started to play with Prestashop a few weeks ago, trying to integrate it via Webservice to a different database. It was quite complicated to understand the whole API with combinations and attribute_values and all, but I managed to crack it in the end. The products are being created with combinations and stocks, all good, nice and fluffy. My issue is now that whenever I'm trying to search one of these products via the search API, it doesn't show. If I enter the admin panel and make a change in the product via the admin panel, after that it will show in the search. Is it something wrong in the way i create the product? Am I missing some switch somewhere? Please see below the XML that is sent to the webservice to create the product. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <prestashop xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <product> <id/> <id_manufacturer/> <id_supplier/> <id_category_default>2</id_category_default> <new/> <cache_default_attribute/> <id_default_image/> <id_default_combination/> <id_tax_rules_group>1</id_tax_rules_group> <type/> <id_shop_default>1</id_shop_default> <reference>FRC</reference> <supplier_reference/> <location/> <width/> <height/> <depth/> <weight>100</weight> <quantity_discount/> <ean13/> <isbn/> <upc/> <cache_is_pack/> <cache_has_attachments/> <is_virtual></is_virtual> <state>1</state> <on_sale/> <online_only/> <ecotax/> <minimal_quantity>1</minimal_quantity> <price>0</price> <wholesale_price/> <unity/> <unit_price_ratio/> <additional_shipping_cost/> <customizable/> <text_fields/> <uploadable_files/> <active>1</active> <redirect_type>404</redirect_type> <id_type_redirected/> <available_for_order>1</available_for_order> <available_date>2017-09-08</available_date> <show_condition/> <condition>new</condition> <show_price>1</show_price> <indexed>1</indexed> <visibility>both</visibility> <advanced_stock_management>0</advanced_stock_management> <date_add/> <date_upd/> <pack_stock_type>3</pack_stock_type> <meta_description><language id="1"/></meta_description> <meta_keywords><language id="1"/></meta_keywords> <meta_title><language id="1">Fargesia robusta</language></meta_title> <link_rewrite><language id="1">fargesia-robustal</language></link_rewrite> <name><language id="1">Fargesia robusta</language></name> <description><language id="1"/></description> <description_short><language id="1"/></description_short> <available_now><language id="1"/></available_now> <available_later><language id="1"/></available_later> <associations> <categories> <category> <id/> </category> </categories> <images> <image> <id/> </image> </images> <combinations> <combination> <id/> </combination> </combinations> <product_option_values> <product_option_value> <id/> </product_option_value> </product_option_values> <product_features> <product_feature> <id/> <id_feature_value/> </product_feature> </product_features> <tags> <tag> <id/> </tag> </tags> <stock_availables> <stock_available> <id/> <id_product_attribute/> </stock_available> </stock_availables> <accessories> <product> <id/> </product> </accessories> <product_bundle> <product> <id/> <quantity/> </product> </product_bundle> </associations> <position_in_category>0</position_in_category> </product> </prestashop>

Hi, I'm using V 1.5.6.0 I'm working on a multishop with 3 countries (a different website for each country: Ireland: .ie / France: .fr / Belgium: .be) 2 languages: English - Ireland, French: France and Belgium I'm trying to save some time by creating new products for all 3 shops. I can create products for all 3 shops but when I want to enable back order on all shops, this functionnality seems to be disable. And when I 'go into' a specific shop, ie: Irish, French or Belgian,I can still NOT allow back order on products created for all 3 shops. Anybody came across the same problem? If so any solution? Eric p.s: back order does work if I create each produc separately in each shop

Hi All, This is a paying job anyone interested please see below I am currently building a website for a client and require some custom work done to the Prestashop installation. The job is for an online blinds retailer and the details are as follows: Front end: User navigates store as a default prestashop installation except that there is no add to cart on the product previews. User chooses a blind type then views a product as usual. Once the customer is on the view product page they have 2 tabs Standard Sizes - Using standard combinations Custom sizes (attached figure 2 image) [*]Customer either adds a standard product or enters custom values then adds the product with a price calculated from matrix setup in backend. [*]Customer needs to be able to add combinations of custom or standard if they wish. Back End: New tab added to the product creation / edit page in which admin user can add and remove custom width > price ranges i.e 1100mm - 1199mm = $120. (attached figure 1 image) In this tab the admin will be able to: check a box to enable or disable custom pricing for this product. Add and remove size ranges and the relative prices (attached figure 1 image) Set a cutting fee. [*]The admin user MUST be able to add custom and standard sizes to the one product. The pricing structure for the custom sizes is simply as follows: if entered width is between B & Y then price is Z This is the only calculation that needs to be done. I am more than willing to pay to have this functionality developed and i don't think it would be to harder job for someone knowledgeable in the file structure and functionality of prestashop. I am more than happy to talk via Skype or telephone to give furthur details and can assure you that i will not waste your time. if you can do the job confidently you will get it. We can use freelancer.com milestone payments if you wish or organise the payment privately. If you are interested please PM me or reply in this thread. I look forward to working with you, Take Care, Daniel Figure 1 Figure 2

I deal in digital downloads exclusively on my current website (www.sportszonetemplates.com). I use Interspire Shopping Cart and I have the ability to FTP upload any or all of my digital product files at one time to a specified folder. Then when I create a new product page/entry is can simply browse to the uploaded files and attach the uploaded file to the product for download. PS 1.4 doesn't allow this type of operation. I have to configure one product at a time and upload only that product file and I'm limited by my shared hosting account to a maximum of a 64M file to upload. It would be nice if we could use an FTP program to mass upload our files to a specified folder and then attach that file to the product during creation and get around the 64M limit also. Any possibility of this happening. Thanks

Hello my config : Version : 1.4.6.1 PHP: 5.2.17 MySQL: 5.1.49-3-log Host: Pack Pro at OVH Thème: furniture classic No extra module, apart from the ones delivered with the theme (advertisement and front end extra blocks) Problem : Our shop is on production. Therefore, when we create products in the catalogue, they are desactivated before finalization. After a "certain amount of save" (sorry, I don't have the exact number, it seems to happen more often when working on images), no modification is taken into account. - some modifications are saved, but do not appear neither in the back end nor in the front end (eg. assigning images to products variations) - some modifications are not taken into account at all (eg. all text fields, like SEO fields and short and long descriptions), and when I check directly in the database, they do not appear in the tables (but I see on the screen the confirmation message that the modifications have been saved). The solution (not really acceptable on the long term) is to desactivate the cache (the "real" cache, not the smarty cache). Then all saved modifications appear again, and it is possible to save texts and other modifications. Images size are reasonnable (1000 pix. maximum, and 300K). Variations not really numerous (max. around 15 per products, with a combination of 2 to 3 characteristics). The shop has by now less than 50 products (variations not included, 100 with variations). I am very surprised because : - this is the first time I see a caching system activated on the backend - I do not have the feeling my shop is so big ... Is there any solution ? Any hint on something to check ? I see a lot of posts of Smarty caching, but it is definitively not a smarty problem. I can give the shop url by PM.

Hi, PrestaPricing V4 will be released very soon (planned for Oct 28)... If you do not know yet this application (fast and easy products creation and editing, xls importer, mass updates, catalogs creation,...), have a look at the videos of the current version here: http://www.myphotore...ct-changes.html The list of new features is quite long (see below), and beside the radical speed improvement, I would like to talk about this one, the embedded image importer tool: It allows you to select images files, one by one or per directory, to assign them to products in seconds. Then the importation will run in the background, while you can continue to use the application. It uploads the files to the server, renames them, resizes them and stores them at the right place (support boththe new PS 1.4.3.0 file system and the legacy system). You can assign images to many product combinations in once with one clic. Use in combination with the filtering tool (another new feature), you can now do things like this: Selection of all red combinations of a selection of products, assign the red photo to all of them in once. The time saved is simply magic. If you still hesitate, let me remember that the upgrades are free during six months. So as the V4 release will come with a price increase. Take the benefit of the current version's price and get a free upgrade of V4 in two weeks from now. New features: -Transactions with the database up to 30x faster -Create a new product button -Create a new combination button -Combinations' attribute lists editable -Search function added on column names of the categories -Powerful filtering on all columns (use right-click) -Filters removal button -New table showing the images of products and combinations -Batch assignment of images to combinations -Selection the cover image of a product -Edition of legends of images -Easy changing of the order (position) of the images by drag and drop with the mouse -Powerful batch import of new images of products. Multitasking, you can continue to use PrestaPricing while downloading images. You can even add news in the uploading stack. -Choice of images to import can be done one by one, with a visualization or by directory (and subdirectories). -Progress bar of image uploads, error handling, ... -Compatible with the new management of images files appeared with version 1.4.3.0 of PS -The connection window is hidden after connection -Interface connection revisited to allow configuration and test of an FTP connection (required to upload images) -New-connection module for managing the uploading of images. -The application icon in the windows tools bar is now operational -Removal of display B-mode, no longer needed, thanks to improved speed. -Removal of the Windows message "Application is not responding" -Descriptions and summary of products added in the products table (editable) -New tab for managing the visibility of columns, with six possible customizable configurations -Acceleration of the standard XLS import. -New XLS import mode, named "fast import" (22x faster than version 3.5) -The report provided of the standard import is more complete (indication of the lines in error) and can be copied to the clipboard. -Integration of a powerful editing tool of products catalogs. You can customize them, choose the columns to include or exclude,... (requires an extra 140mb download and installation of the tool). Is available only in French (An English version is available, but its installation has not yet been tested) -The catalogs now contains only the data of the selected rows and not the whole table. -The mass update tools are hidden (new button to show them) to relieve the interface. Tool optimized for speed. -Optimization of copy-paste data functions. -Product form: Replacement of the HTML editor tool by a new one incorporating more features (H tags, lists ,...) -Combinations form: Categories navigation buttons added -Combinations form: The buttons next, previous, first, last (products) keep the navigation within the chosen category. -Category table: Sub-categories ordered by name -Category table: Sub-categories hidden at launch -Possibility to choose between two modes of connection (not encrypted, compressed) to a faster connection in some cases. -Shop default language recognized automatically -Version of PrestaShop automatically recognized -Import/Export and creation of a catalog buttons grouped in a new tab to free space in the interface. -Fixed bugs in navigation mode sheet Rgds Franck
