jmthd Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) One of my products has 2,000+ combinations, which I used the combinations generator to create. Only now, I can't access the combinations to edit default, images assigned to each combination, etc. When I click the combinations tab for this product, I get a blank combinations tab (I assume it's trying to load all those combinations). I have tried adjusting my PHP core settings as follows, but it still doesn't work: max_execution_time = 10000 max_input_time = -1 memory_limit = 256M max_input_vars = 10000 I appreciate any help you can provide.

jmthd Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 P.S. I also have Presto-Changeo's Mass Combinations Editor installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomerg3 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Prestashop cannot really handle more than 1,000-3,000 combinations. You would have to manually delete the combinations from the database (ps_product_attribute & ps_product_attribute_combination). You can check out our Attribute Wizard Pro, which was designed to tackle this issue (too many combinations), it changes the way combinations are entered and use, to a way that requires far less (see the FAQ tab for more info) http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/attribute-modules/34-attribute-wizard-pro.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmthd Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) It turns out the module mentioned above does not fit my needs. So back to square one, if anyone knows of a way to add 2,000+ attribute combinations, I would really appreciate the help. Additional info: I'm running a clothing store, so some colors only come in certain sizes. (This was the reason the above module did not work for me.)

tomerg3 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If AWP does not fit your needs, you have only 2 options (3 if you consider using another shopping cart an option). 1) Use less combinations. 2) Create a custom solution, from personal experience, I can tell you that this would require a lot of time and expert coding skills.

jmthd Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 "Use less combinations" does not sound like a solution, when the nature of the product is to have many combinations. Am I missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Then you are left with option #2, or switching to another shopping cart solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmthd Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 It's strange, the Prestashop features list (http://www.prestashop.com/en/features#catalog) says: Unlimited Products, Categories and Attributes Easily organize your categories, products, and attributes. There are no limitations in the quantity of categories, products and attributes that you can display and sell in your store. An attribute would be a specific configuration for a product, such as size, color, and etc. Prices, weight and other specifications can be adjusted dynamically based on the selection. This is simply not true, and it is a big turn-off to have paid modules pushed on you to achieve what PS advertises it can already do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmthd Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Since this appears to be a memory issue, does anyone know if a server upgrade would make a difference? If that's the case, then I would have to take back my last reply on this topic... Edited December 3, 2012 by JoshMeyer (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koriakin Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Server upgrade will not work, I know because i was trying. Its just geting heavy over 400 - 500 comb. I have similiar problem so I will not open a new topic. I need to have in my shop more than 20 products (services to be exact) and every one of them need to have at least 800 combinations, why so many? I'm selling logistics services, I'm only an agent collecting orders from people who want to send someone a parcel. The nature of this service requires the customer to specify the dimensions of the package. It doesn't affect price or anything in the shop, it is only required information due to the arrangement of space in the vehicle, and more than that there are certain dimensions limits which must not be exceeded. 1. lenght from 30 to 200, width from 20 to 80 and heght from 20 to 60 2. lenght + 2x width + 2x height =< 300 cm (that makes over 0,5 mln comb in 1 cm steps, I contented myself with lenght 10cm steps and width and height with 5 cm steps and that gives exactly 873 combinations that meet all the conditions) I have two ways: 1. validate some how, but my knowledge is insufficient 2. make combinations As you can see the second solution is heavy and not quite sufficient very often causing error # 500, Can anyone tell my is there a way to validate that, some script, other cart anything...

jmthd Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I have since reduced to 400 combinations for this problem product and am STILL having the issue. Even on an upgraded server with PHP memory limit set to 512M. @Koriakin did you ever find a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koriakin Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Indirectly Let's just say that I was trying to use PS only because of combinations. And because this solution does not work as I expected, I went back to the script which is more suited to me as a whole. I created the three parameters as drop-down lists of 1 cm steps and warned customers if they choose something wrong, they order will be suspended or revoked. That's it! If I can not have it how I want it, at least I will have a shopping cart which I like. Anyway community support here in propably more than 50% of cases ends like: "...Someone made an pay addon and if you want this functionality you have to buy it yourself...". Well I understand its almost always for commercial use, but I need something that works, and I'm quite sure I will not be able to buy it in first 6 months.

Cata100 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hello, i am new here, did anyone found a solution for this? i am encountering the same issue, i have combinations above hundreds and i simply don;t find any solution for this it seems to be a problem somewhere, i've tried with the hosting company to upgrade in many rows the memory allocated for PHP up to 256 Mb and it is not working, have you found a solution for this?!? - i also tried to do the same amount of conbinations on a localhost installation of prestashop and it worked, "live" it simple doesn't work... - i was wondering if a solution is to export combinations from localhost and import them in "live" version? a module or something is needed in order to do that because prestashop is allowing to add combinations manually but it is imposibile to add manually hundreds of combinations for each each particullar product please let me know what solution did you found for this or how can be made to work, less combinations it is not a solution for me also, because i need them all in order to able to configure a product Thank you! One of my products has 2,000+ combinations, which I used the combinations generator to create. Only now, I can't access the combinations to edit default, images assigned to each combination, etc. When I click the combinations tab for this product, I get a blank combinations tab (I assume it's trying to load all those combinations). I have tried adjusting my PHP core settings as follows, but it still doesn't work: max_execution_time = 10000 max_input_time = -1 memory_limit = 256M max_input_vars = 10000 I appreciate any help you can provide.

sickshot Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) anyone? anything? can I just make these combinations function "lighter"? I mean that i dont need quanity or tax or impact ob price. anyone knows what and where needs to be edited in this case I just need that when a customer chose some combinations on product page - it just to appear on order as a note for the seller... my combinations doesn't affect anyithing Edited March 6, 2014 by sickshot (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stottycabanas Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hi sickshot, if you're just wanting to collect items of information from the customer (prescription details, if I remember), you can set up fields for this via product customization. http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/Adding+Products+and+Product+Categories#AddingProductsandProductCategories-ManagingCustomization No need for any combinations at all in that case. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickshot Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 hi stottycabanas, yes its close, but I need to pre-define this information, something that would look simmilar to combinations when there is few dropdown menus. I just need that when a customer chose some combinations on product page - it just to appear on order as a note for the seller... this should not affect anything like price or weight or something - just a note for a seller.

stottycabanas Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Sickshot, I don't know if there's a clever developer out there who could convert those customisation fields into dropdowns. Not something I can help with, I'm afraid. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
