Cannot add multiple combinations that i need! Please help!

[gfresh]

Hi there,

Nearly time for shop opening.
However i have diamond jewellery products that have many many combinations as far as diamond colour, clarity,ring size, carat and metal, if I leave out ring sizes then it generates about 1140 combinations which it seems to handle, when i add ring size it generates 14,000 or so combinations and the whole product crashed and cannot be used. Is there a limit in prestashop for the amount of combinations you can use, have I gone too far for prestashop to handle?
Im using 1.31, thanks.

Prestashop cannot handle more than 1,000-3,000 combinations.

There are 2 options:

1) http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/47363/

2) Create a custom code to handle it yourself

The number you can get depends on the RAM you have, but any time you go over 1,000 you may experience a slow down on the product page, especially if the customer is on a slow computer.

There will be as many javascript lines as combinations, and every time you change an attribute, a search to find the combination (in Javascript) happens, which takes time.

thanks for the info, valid point.
dont want to really be causing any issue for the customer so will definately trim down the combos.
cheers

The module I developed was made especially to allow for unlimited attributes, and it also has many other features.

It is a paid module, but if it allows you to use all the attributes you want, it will probably be worth it.

There is a front + back end demo for it, so you can try it out, and see if it does what you need (Make sure to check the configuration page for the module for instructions on how to add attributes to products, as it does not use the combination generator)
