Fez-o-Joe Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Good morning Everyone, We're currently attempting to set-up and migrate from Zencart to Presta but we're finding it has the same limitations as Zen... unless someone has found a way (configuration or module?) and we're just not seeing it in the searches. We make a product that has a unique graphic on it, but we have multiple sizes of that product, so in inventory, each size would have it's own quantity. But, we want only to display to the client the one product and have them choose what size, and other bits they want - then add that item to the cart. If the size didn't have a quantity, it wouldn't show on the list. Here's an example: We make a Flying Monkey fez... in six sizes (small to 3XL) - Each fez has one of 10 tassel colors picked by client (red, black, copper, etc.) - radio button or pull-down style (showing the different color images) - Each fez can have venting put in (black, copper, brass - or none, the default) - radio button style - As an option, client can choose to have extra venting for an additional fee. - check box - Another option is an extra tassel (+fee) - pull-down or radio style So, given that - we want to only have one product to display in the category, not six or more of the same image with just a size difference. This make sense?!? If you want to see how we're doing it now - we're fez-o-rama.com - just viewing a design, you'll see we have to show every product as a separate size. This limits as to what we can display on the home page, or do as 'new', or 'featured', random, etc. Any suggestions would be great - any solutions would be even better! we've paid for some modules already but they are not what they've advertised, so we're open to trying but it's got to work. Anyone? Anyone? Bueler? Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximusimo Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Did you ever get a solution to this as I need something similar: one product with a number of combinations but with the product quantity only having to be set in the main screen once and not for each attribute.

stottycabanas Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 So, given that - we want to only have one product to display in the category, not six or more of the same image with just a size difference. Fez-o-Joe, in Prestashop terms, you already have Attributes for things like Tassel, Extra Tassel and Venting - just set up another attribute for Size and create additional combinations based on the various sizes. Only one product needed. Did you ever get a solution to this as I need something similar: one product with a number of combinations but with the product quantity only having to be set in the main screen once and not for each attribute. Maximusimo, let's suppose you have a product called Box with an attribute of Colour and combinations for red, blue and green boxes. Are you suggesting that if you have 6 red boxes, 9 blue boxes and 5 green boxes in stock, you don't want to enter those numbers against each combination, but you want to just enter a quantity of 20 in e.g. the product global information page. Why would you want to do that? If a customer urgently wanted to buy 10 green boxes, how would they know you only had 5? Or are you saying that the nature of your product means it doesn't matter whether the box is red, blue or geen? In which case why have the combinations at all? I can't see how stock management is possible under your proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximusimo Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 stottycabanas, my product is tickets which have different age ranges: Infant 0-2 Child 2-5 Child 5-9 Child 9+ I dont know in advance how many of each range I would need and that is why I want one global quantity. Does this make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stottycabanas Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Do you want to take the orders from customers first, then once you know the number of tickets you need in each age range, you obtain the tickets from a third party? If so, then in the product quantities page, opt to specify available quantities manually, leave all quantities as zero and select When out of stock: Allow orders. If there's a risk you can't get the tickets, you may want to add something in 'text to display when back-ordering is allowed' to indicate you may not be able to satisfy the customer's order. Don't know for sure if that would work, I haven't tested it, nor do I know if that's your business model. If it does work, you wouldn't need to enter any product quantities at all.

maximusimo Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I don't think that would work. I will have 100 tickets in total and are all the same price but because children in different ranges get a different kind of present I need to know when placing the order what age they are. I currently have a space where purchasers manually type in the age but relying on this is not foolproof as I have found in the past. I would then need to just run a report which will give me the totals of each age range. This would have to be generated too although that hasn't been figured out. I am guessing I will have to get someone to carry out this work for me. Something like the Prestashop Attirbute Grid Module would work but only with an overall product quantity as specified above and then a reporting function too.

tomerg3 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Max: You can use Attribute Wizard Pro (http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/attribute-modules/34-attribute-wizard-pro.html ) for this purpose, You could add all the attributes from a single group in 1 combination, and they will share the stock.

kathykeen Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 For my new men's pants website, each product I offer has a unique waist size, color, style and fabric--eg size 34, Blue, Pleated, Denim. All together I offer 20 waist sizes in ten colors, 3 styles and 5 fabrics. That's a lot of products--and the attributes wizard pro works like a charm. My problem: How do I have my warehouse update quanitites for each item (which means each possible combination) every week? I have read about the Advanced Stock Management system, but even when I enable it, I cannot get what I need which is all the possible combinations listed. What am I missing? Clearly the way AWP is configured won't work--I cannot have one quanitity for all my waist sizes. Another thought: Is there a list of each combination so I can place the unique UPC codes that would correclate with quantity for that item? Thanks.
