Hi Is it possible to integrate Prestashop with an ePos system, in order to maintain accurate stock levels? e.g. We have a physical store running an epos system, and a Prestashop website. The stock has to be manually monitored on the website to ensure that we don't oversell products. I'd like to integrate the database to enable the ePos and website to talk to each other and update stock levels accordingly. Anyone with experience of this? Thanks!

Hi Using 1.6.1.14. I have a special customer group set up, who are entitled to 10% discount on purchases. Is it possible for them to view the original product price similar to how it appears when a discount voucher is added? eg. £36 £40 10% Currently, when the customer is logged in, it just shows the reduced price, rather than the original price / percentage saving, so it's not immediately obvious to the customer that their discount is being applied. Any ideas or workarounds greatly appreciated!

Thanks! this does work. I would like to be more specific if possible. For instance, the customer group 4 is a discount card holder group, so I'd like to display "Discount Card Holder" on the invoice page, for each order placed by someone in group 4. Is this possible?

Will I be able to get this to work on invoice.tpl for the PDF invoice?

I'd like to be able to show the customer group on the invoice, but have not found a solution as yet. On my front end pages, I can display a message depending on the customer group like this: {if Group::getCurrent()->id == 4} **MY MESSAGE** {/if} Is there a way of doing this for invoices?? Version 1.6.1.4 Thanks!

Hi This is brilliant!! Is there any way of getting it to display on the PDF Invoice?? It's good to know when ringing orders through a till point.

Sorry to bring up an old problem, but I'm having this exact issue. Products which are visible nowhere, are showing up in Productscategory module. Any ideas how to change this?

I have a strange problem. A few customers have messaged to say that they are unable to view their recent orders online. Having looked into this, it appears that they have placed an order as a guest, but with the same details as used on their customer account! I tried to order as a guest myself, with my e-mail, which is already linked to a customer account, and received the error message "An account using this email address has already been registered." It seems that customers who were imported into the database can check out as a guest. Customers who register on the site cannot check out as a guest, although I don't understand why. Did I miss out something on the customer import? Using 1.6.1.4 Thanks!

Sorry for dragging up an old thread, but i had the same problem, wanting to use the short description as the H1 tag on the product page. The problem is that the tinyMCE adds the P tag to the short description, which isn't w3c compatible. To stop this happening, I simply went to the following file: admin_folder\themes\default\template\controllers\products\informations.tpl At around line 335, there is the code: {include file="controllers/products/textarea_lang.tpl" languages=$languages input_name='description_short' class="autoload_rte" input_value=$product->description_short max=$PS_PRODUCT_SHORT_DESC_LIMIT} Simply remove the line class="autoload_rte", and it changes the field to a simple text box. I thought this might be useful for anyone having similar issues!

What's the point of even having a size filter then?? It just doesn't make sense. A customer only wants to see items in their size. This is a basic requirement for any site.

Unfortunately I now have a new problem. When an item sells on eBay, the module creates a duplicate listing. I'm getting inundated with warnings from eBay saying that I have duplicate listings. Ridiculous

This is exactly the problem. If the product has a quantity of 0 in Small, 1 Medium and 1 Large, then it shouldn't show when you select Small in the filter - yet it does. It's really misleading for the customer, and therefore leaves them with low confidence on the accuracy of their search. Does that make sense?

I can confirm that it works for me. On a uk site.

i have the exact same problem with a clean install of PS 1.6.1.4 & Block Layered V2.1.3. I have small, medium, & large shirts. Small is out of stock, Medium & Large are in stock. PS shows Small (1) Medium(1) Large(1) I have enabled "Hide Filter Values When no Product Is Matching", but this makes no difference. It's infuriating and misleading!

It may be worth starting a thread in a different part of the forum, or trying to contact the person who originally dealt with this problem on the thread.

You shouldn't have to use a support ticket for this issue, as it's probably related to previous problems they had with the server. There should be a moderator on here who can help!!

Just a quick update. I've now purchased and installed this module, and it works perfectly! I had help setting it up, and even had a couple of custom modifications. 5 Stars!!

I've come across an issue with the blocklayered module, and need a possible solution please: I have a main category "CLOTHING", with 2 subcategories "Mens" & Womens". Both mens and womens categories have categories "Jackets", "Sweatshirts", "Jumpers" etc... The problem is, when someone clicks on the "CLOTHING" category in the shop, the blocklayered filter displays all the category names twice, obviously because they have the same name. I didn't want to name the categories "Mens Jackets", Mens Sweatshirts" etc.. as it looks messy in the top menu. Is there a way of changing the blocklayered menu, or the top menu, to show different names for categories (like a translation)? It's a shame that there's not an option on the category to have a "top menu name" or something similar. Using PS 1.6.0.14 Any ideas??

Found something!! http://addons.prestashop.com/en/front-office-features-prestashop-modules/19389-dynamic-product-price.html Brilliant module and great support. Should also be good for people who want to charge by weight or dimensions.

Well after ages spent looking around, I found this on the addons site http://addons.prestashop.com/en/front-office-features-prestashop-modules/19389-dynamic-product-price.html Everything I need!! Also has good functionality for anyone who may sell products by length/weight etc...

Thanks for the reply Daresh. I found this on Prestashop addons http://addons.prestashop.com/en/front-office-features-prestashop-modules/19389-dynamic-product-price.html This does everything I need, so may be helpful for anyone else who needs similar functionality!

Thanks for your reply. After 4 hours of searching through Prestashop Addons, I found this http://addons.prestashop.com/en/front-office-features-prestashop-modules/19389-dynamic-product-price.html It works perfectly, and the support I've had from the developer is first rate!!

I'm looking for a really simple (potentially) module or modification for a site I'm working on. I just need the following for certain products: The ability to have 2 text fields, one for letters and one for numbers. When a customer orders a product (a soccer shirt), they get the option to have printing on the back, for £1 per letter & £4 per number. The easiest options would seem to be using the customisation fields, and just adding some code that would charge per character, but I've been unable to find a way of charging. It really seems simple on the face of it. I don't need to have the facility to preview what the shirt would look like, just the ability to charge for the customisation!! Any ideas???
