Support for multiple Features (multiple values of a feature assigned to one product)

I am currently using prestashop store manager with a prestashop store

What Christian is asking for is a much needed feature for our store, we currently have around 30,000 parts on or store and the time it takes to add and update every part with feature values one at a time is so time consuming that it is nearly impossible

Thanks

I am using the module that you are talking about. I also am using a custom built module for year make and model I can edit the values on this by using mass product changer or csv import. The only catch is that I can not use the value as it displays on the website but rather a corresponding number shows up. This takes a little working around on an Excel sheet with some formulas but I can update product rather quickly with this workaround. would it be possible to view and edit the values posted by this module in the same manner?

Thanks
Irvin

Hi Sergiy

While the multiple_features module is 3rdParty, the Prestashop blocklayered module (search) is working with multiple features right out of the box (native logic!!).
So there is no problem with incompatibilitys with Prestashop itself.

Best regards, Christian

in addition, there is _absolutely_ no change in table structure neccessary

The feature_product table stays untouched, there is no additional table neccessary (look at my first post)

However, if you _dont want_ to implement this function (it wont be that big affort) please say it clear.

Hi Dergiy,

Yes, of couse

Hello, I'm really interested in the support of this module too... Is there any development?

Done!

I mostly wanted to know what were the developments after your private discussion :) If there was any possibilities to see it implemented as it's a 3rd party addon.. thanks

I would vote for this but have not figure out how

Ok thank you!
About the vote, eMagicOne seriously needs to promote the possibility to vote, I feel not many people use it. Maybe say something about it in a newsletter? As you see from the message previous to this one, even people on the forum are not aware of it! You would have a better idea of what people really wants...


IRWIN BOWMAN: Look under the first message message, on the Left. there are 2 votes already. You just need to click the "vote" next to it :)

Christian Kernbeis/Irvin Bowman: Have you tried the module with the SM?

If yes, what is happening when you modify an item which has multiple associated to it (thru the BO)?

Does the SM leaves the multiple features ( "yamaha500|honda350|aso..") there or do they get overwritten every time you save a change on the item ( "yamaha500")?

Thanks

I would but I haven't bought it yet as I'm not sure how SM will react to it :) I thought they might have tried it already...

I think it's probably gonna be overwritten too :/

I will let you know if I put my hand on it!

Ok, so I have put my hand on it and it does work good with Store Manager. Even when changing the other features, it doesn't overwrite the multi-feature one changed in the BO.

That said, I recently found that this had been discussed here: addons.prestashop.com/en/search-filters-prestashop-modules/6356-multiple-features-assign-your-features-as-you-want.html

And it shows again the problem with this forum, many suggestions comes and are duplicated because there is no easy way to see what have been suggested already (you know, people are lazy and won't search much). At least if the "recent/popular/new" would work, but they are not :( You need a better system to list the suggestions already made so people can vote for the one they really want or think could be good for them. Please have a look at this: http://feedback.ibearsoft.com/ A basic "category" sorting for suggestions is made and it's a bit easier to follow up. It could even be just a short list of the most popular ones for now, so at least we would have a basic choice :) *AND better explanation that VOTES does count above all and are important. Please, it's not clear to anyone! (you know it, you have to mention to everyone to vote their own suggestion!)* - I know I keep repeating this, but every time I come here I'm frustrated with it :/ I am happy to propose new ideas, and really want to help making this app even better, but you need to help us too :D

Thanks :)

Wow that would be awesome :D thank you Sergiy!

Count on me!

(does this mean that the actual July release has been reported for one more month?)

Right on time, here is your reminder :)

Good for you and wo worries, take your time! I hope you had a great time!

I would _immensly_ appreciate the possibility to use Multiple Values for Features. If value Position could be controlled , similarly to Category Position, that would be AWESOME ! My main shop, www.winerepublic.ro has blended wines, and sometime Cabernet Sauvignon grape is the major part, other times Merlot is, [ while both are present in the blend ]. That would be relevant to consumers to know right order.

Any news on this request?

Hi Serg,

I will gladly give you access to my store. send me a message when you start needing it. As to the module, I think is not much of a module, because I use this free override from Presta Forum. It works well. I think Presta accepts natively multiple feature value, it is just the matter of making it checkbox not dropdown. But maybe I am wrong, because I am not programmer.

I have tried both and http://addons.prestashop.com/ru/search-filter/6356-multiple-features-assign-your-features-as-you-want.html is the best one and I am pretty sure saying its the most popular one

The other one has extra functions which are not well implanted yet and they have a terrible customer service.


Presta-Module is definitively a better choice :)

And as other said, I am not sure you need to manage any 3rd party module themself. Those module only add the different values in the database field as Christian Kernbeis wrote earlier:

id_feature|id_product|id_feature_value
20|71|53
20|71|54
20|71|55
20|71|56

Awesome, I can't wait to hear what the development team thinks about it :D

on beta , released this morning, works perfekt. congrats Serg & Devs !
