[solved]Problem with many variants/combinations/attributes


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I use Prestashop 1.5,.0.2 (tried updating på 1.5.4.1, on my testshop but now it is all blank so I wont try on the actual shop)

my shop is: www.jkofficeline.dk, i tried searching for this problem but didnt find much of use... Thats why I try asking for help now..

 

My problem is to do with variants, attributes, combinations or what to call them.

 

I have many attributes, leading to many combinations. It looks like that when there is more than two attributes to a product (many variants) the selection of them does not work as it should. I choose one thing, then move on to the next attribute, but when I change that, the first choice will change by it self :/

 

Is it because of the many combinations? And what can I do about it??

 

Maybe I need to install a module ?? Anybody who knows a good module for this??

Preferably one that I can try out before paying for it...

I found the solution myself. So fore the sake of others that might have the same problem here is the solution...

 

The bug occurs when you do not set an url on attributes and values. I dont know if this is basic knowledge, but the url field is not required so we did not fill it out... Which led to that big problem in our shop...

Not quite sure what you mean by URL for attributes....

 

Prestashop can handle about 1,000 - 3,000 combinations per product before you get out of memory errors / blank product page

 

The total number of combinations is the number of values in each group multiplied by each other.

 

For example, 3 groups with 10 values in each would be 10 * 10 * 10 = 1,000

I know about variants and how to count them, before I found the problem I thought that I had to many combinations but that was not the case...

 

When you create a product attribute in BO: Catalog - attributes and values. Where you set the name and public name. You also have the option to set an URL yourself. The field is not required, and I did not set any URL.

That caused a lot of problems in my shop...

I would like to allow my customers to select 12 bottles from the complete list of wine in the shop to mix their own box . I therefore need need to create more combinations than my shop can handle (12 groups (bottles) with more than 50 values (wines) each). Any ideas on how I can work around this problems?
