Increase number of suggestions on combinations generator

[fourmarketing]

Is there a way to increase the number of suggestions when searching an attribute to generate? It only shows 4 rows and in our website that's not enough.

We didnt find any config or module that does this

Are you sure the attribute has more than 4 values added. I'm asking as I saw clients add features, and those can't be used on combinations. I never saw something similar, that's why my first bet went into a misconfiguration part.

@Prestachamps Yes, there are more than 4 values on that attribute

Hi, 

The reason why nobody answered is that this should work as expected. If there is no DB error than this shouldn't be an issue. 

Here are some further questions : 

1.  Are you sure that the site admin you're checking is not a development version admin, and not the live one? 

2. Inside the Database you should be able to find the attribute with the values added- you can also find products who share the value. 

3. This requires debugging made by a developer - there is no magical solution for it. I would recommend to post this to the job section ? That will probably attract more ppl who are interested to solve this. 

Based upon what you're described there is not much we can say. there are too many variables that can/could cause such misbehavior. 

Cheers, 

LEo

Whos saying that its an error? Im just asking if theres a way to increase number of suggestions when generating combinations... I didnt complain about any error

Hi @fourmarketing,

I've had some time and there is a JavaScript solution for this, to show more than 5 suggestions for the combination selector:

inside the file: /ADMINFOLDER/themes/default/js/bundle/product/form.js after line  947 add the  "limit: 20,"  to show up to maximum 20 results:

        /** init input typeahead */
        $('#form_step3_attributes').tokenfield({
          typeahead: [{
            hint: false,
            cache: false,
          }, {
            source(query, syncResults) {
              engine.search(query, (suggestions) => {
                syncResults(filter(suggestions));
              });
            },
            display: 'label',
            limit: 20,
          }],
          minWidth: '768px',
        });

Cheers, 

Leo.

 

PS; I just realized what you where asking.

Keeping things calm can bring you further

@Prestachamps That works well... thank you! How did you find the file? I got to /src/PrestaShopBundle/Controller/Admin/AttributeController.php (which handles the all attribute list, but there was no limit there) by searching through the files... but i would have never found that one you wrote since theres no direct reference to generating combinations or something like that

 

anyways, thank you!

Hi @fourmarketing, it was a tricky one to find it, and to get to the point where that suggestion selector is being created by using typeahead.js , which had the default limit of maximum 5

Cheers,
