Bulk upload is the most important features especially for those who have thousands of products and every months there are alots of changes in the product like price and model. It is for those in the computer sector. The current bulk uploads features is still in a baby stage hope it will grow bigger and mature in v1.5

Please let me remind you that you can make these suggestions directly to the dev team by using our Feature Request tool.

Here is how to do :

Patric, I know that your message was probably directed not just at me but forum users at large.

 

However, specifically relating to this thread, the post you have linked to basically advises creating issue tickets in Forge. Almost all the links I posted in the original message are actually links to their Forge tickets that I already created :)

 

I even have a neat filter http://forge.prestas...requestId=10231 ;) (viewable only if you are logged into Forge)

Very nice contribution to the 1.5 tracker. You really wanna bring Prestashop 1.5 at another level :P

Thanks, Tropical Dream. Yes, I really do. PS is a great tool and has a lot of potential...the way I see it, it could become the standard-bearer among ecommerce software IF the PS team prioritize on the right things...

 

 

I agree with many of your suggestions.

If you agree with some of the suggestions, I would urge you to please log into Forge and vote for those features (click on vote near top-right on the ticket page)

Voucher URLs: http://forge.prestas...browse/PSFV-143

 

PS already has a discount coupon/voucher system whereby customers can get a certain discount.

PS already has an affiliate system whereby referring affiliates can earn a commission.

It's time to take this to the next level.

e.g. If a customer arrives on the website with a particular URL (or parameter), then a certain coupon/voucher is automatically applied to the cart by PS (and, if applicable, then upon completion of the transaction a commission is applied to a particular affiliate's account)

Some possible scenarios:

1. There are websites like http://www.vouchercodes.com/ that make their living off presenting offers to their customer base (and unlike Groupon etc, they don't require the transaction to be completed on their website). So when a customer find a deal for my store on these website, (s)he could just click a link and arrive at my store with the coupon/voucher already applied to the cart. Sites like http://www.vistaprint.co.uk do this extensively.

2. I could distribute physical vouchers. While I could provide a voucher code so that customers can apply it in their cart, it's way easier if I just provide a URL likehttp://www.domain.com/christmas This may seem like a tiny usability tweak, but it has a massive business impact.

3. On physical vouchers, I could provide a QR code that customers can scan to arrive at the shop. In these cases, it would be of immense value if the coupon code is applied directly to the cart without requiring human intervention

It would be great, if the store owner can actually type in the slug (e.g. christmas in #2 above), and

PS can generate the QR codes for the URLs and make them available for download by the store owner.

Since I haven't been able to find help on this (http://www.prestasho...ipping-methods/), I shall assume it's not available ATM and suggest it as a feature request:

 

Associating payment methods with shipping methods

http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSFV-151

 

There should be a way to associate payment method with shipping method.

 

For instance, "Cash on Delivery" is a payment method but also a shipping method because it has shipping rates different from normal shipping. So, obviously, when selecting shipping method, I want customer to be able to select "cash on delivery" as a shipping method.

 

However, if the customer does select "cash on delivery" as the shipping method, then I don't want him/her to be presented with any other payment methods. Either show only cash on delivery on the payment methods page/section, or skip that page/section altogether.

I can't express how important this is

 

http://forge.prestas...browse/PSFV-118

 

 

At the moment, PS is not telling the search engines the language of the page. This is unacceptable!

 

At the very least, PS should have the meta tag content-language

<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="fr-FR" />

 

If possible, it will also be good to add other internationalization meta tags

<meta name="geo.region" content="FR" />

<meta name="Geography" content="Paris, France" />

Ivoire, sorry but where is 'Advanced Settings' tab in PS 1.5? I can see 'Performance' only in 'Preferences' top menu (using PS 1.5.0.5).

If you mentioned this 'Performance' settings, then I can't see any signs of something looking like full page caching among these settings.

 

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

Remember what we say : "When a developer has a problem, he thinks about using cache. Then he has two problems".

 

Full HTML page caching is difficult, because things are moving (products, categories), and some pages depend on the customer connected.

Improving performance with cache is not so easy. In any case there is no silver bullet to improve performance, it depends.

Caching huge queries that do table scans is way more useful than HTML caching IMHO.

Hello,

I agree with you mexique1, but HTML can be a huge feature too, if the architecture is designed for an easy use of the cache. Sadly PrestaShop was not "think" to support a HTML cache : we can add one on it, but it will be hard to make a nice HTML cache. I hope in the future if we can evolve the architecture ;)

 

Regards
