Big bug with virtual products since 1.6.1

[musicmaster]

In PS 1.6.1 Prestashop changed the table ps_product_download. New was that id_product became an unique key.

 

This brings some potential problems when you have defined a download file and you want to change it.

 

If you remove the old file the regular way - clicking on "delete this file" - it will work ok. However, if you switched the button "Does this product have an associated file?" back to "No" you have a big problem. After you have done this you will never again be able to add a new downloadable file to this product. Sometimes you may see an error message about a "duplicate key" but often you won't even see that.

 

Switching this switch leaves the record in the ps_product_download table and only switches its status to inactive. There is no way to reactivate the download file or to delete it in the back office - so it will stay around obstructing any effort to add a new file. The only way to get out of this is using a tool like Phpmyadmin and deleting the record.

 

The bug is still there in 1.6.1.1

Hi, same here, big problem, any suggestions?

[El Patron]

I have not had that issue but I do run into this scenario.

 

1. duplicate a product to make new

2. modify new with new virtual download

3. original product download is dis-associated from prod

 

also at time randomly I do cannot even describe the 'how' but virtual products will just go missing..1.6.1.7
