database problem or with prestashop ?

[ps2k11]

Prestashop 1.4.4.0

 

I have a problem not sure if it's the database or the way Prestashop was designed

 

when adding category group reduction the product_group_reduction_cache in the database gets updated automatically, products in the category are written in product_group_reduction_cache

 

if I add a product in that category the product_group_reduction_cache doesn't get updated

 

there were also some left over products in the product_group_reduction_cache, is that the reason why I get errors sometimes ?

After much testing came to the conclusion that Prestashop should get rid of whoever programmed this.

 

You cannot have two discounts for 2 different groups. if you discount one category for 1 group as soon as you try to discount the same category for second group, it overrides the first group.

 

So much for category group discount.

 

Totally useless, waste of time

As it concerns groups, that PrestaShop assigns everyone to 'default group' when not logged in, which defeats using groups anyway.

 

Our authonly module requires site owner to enable customers post registration. The site owner can then set the group before enabling the customer, also not logged visitors see Catalog Mode, logged in visitors see shop from the view of their country and group(s). This solves the unlogged in default group issue but isn't really what the module is for, but used as an example;

 

PrestaShop configuration for ALL features like prices, discounts etc. is best done at the country level.

All customers are default after signing up. What I'm trying to do is set up 2 new groups that have different discounts for the same products.

 

The way group discount works right now you can only have one discount per product.

Managed to work around by duplicating categories and applying them to different discount groups.

duplicating the category is a work around...except for non-logged in users, which again will be default group 1. But as long as they see what you want them to from the default group...that is IMHO where the problem really lies.
