PS 1.6.0.4 -> PS 1.7.8.2 combination issue after migrating product information

[hamnmilk]

Hi 

I have recently upgraded PS 1.6.0.4 to PS 1.7.8.2 and having a problem with product attributes. 

After migrating to PS 1.7.8.2, products with combination are displayed as a 'simple product' on back office & front end. However on stock management page, it shows the products with combination with stock level correctly. 

For example, our bag has three colour attributes: red (0 stock), blue (3 stock) and white (5 stock). 

After migrated to PS1.7.8.2, the bag has lost attribute information on back office and front end. In this case, it is marked as 'simple product' on product information of back office - otherwise ok; and the price shows $0.00 on front end. However on stock management it shows red (0 stock), blue (3 stock) and white (5 stock).  correctly. 

So, I have added colour attribute and set the stock red (3), blue (5), white (7). 

* product information: looking good. red (3), blue (5), white (7). 

* stock management: now it shows 6 products: red (0), blue (3), white (5), red (3), blue (5), white (7).

* front end: now it shows 3 attributes with corresponding price. However red bag is unavailable to order because it is out of stock. 

 

Could anyone please help me to resolve this issue. much appreciate it!

Thanks

Can be many things,

Theme can't be used in 1.7, php, hosting, a module won't do the move.

Why did you update?

Hi Nickz

Well, it's been years since we made the website 1.6.0.4 and we haven't done any updates, so we felt it's now time to move to a latest version. ha ha We liked the idea of stock management and our website security has some issues. 

worst case scenario, we may have to delete all product information imported and add them as new products as the issue is not a problem for a newly added a product. Well, we do have more than 1,000 products and don't want to go this way if there is a fix.

Thanks for your comments.

Security you only have when monitoring your site. From 1.6 to 1.7 a whole different set up was created. For reasons of good and smooth operations many people prefer to stay with 1.6.1.24 the latest stable version. For a modern 1.6 Version you could also go for thirtybees.

Thanks for your advice Nickz.

I have spent already many hours to make PS 1.7 work, so I would like to continue working on PS 1.7, but definitely your suggestion would be another option to consider.

Ok Well read through the forum and see what you have to expect with 1.7

I'm aware that work invested is hard to replace but sometimes it's better to start anew than follow through with a system which has bugs.
