TheotV Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hi all,Recently I started building a shop using Prestashop 1.2. I'm very impressed about the software and found that most functionality I was searching for is available in Prestashop. But I have some issues that are still giving me problems. I have searched Google and the Prestashop forums but did not find a solution yet. So now a post in this forum, hoping that someone will set me on the right track.The issues are related to product customization. Our shop needs functionality for the customer to provide some information about the product before it is dropped in the cart. The information consists of the size of the product and a text that will be printed on our product.For providing the exact size of the product I looked at the attributes for products. This provides me a way to let the customer choose a standard size for the product; but I also need some text boxes to let the client provide the exact size; so we can make it perfect fit. I used the product customization to do just that but then I noticed that in the Cart Summary-page the labels for the custom options are replaced with "Text #1, Text #2, etc". So that's my first issue. Has anyone else noticed that and found a way to present this nicely in the cart-summary?For providing a text to print on our product I also used the product customization tab. But what I am looking for here is a way to provide the text on the product (can be done with the product customization), but also charge the customer for every character in the text. E.g. if we charge €5.00 per character and a customer wants to print "Hello" on the product, we will charge him 5*€5.00 = €25.00 extra. I haven't found this functionality in the product and this is my second issue/question. Is this possible in Prestashop and if not, how can I adapt it to make it do that?To summarize:1. Is there anyone out there who can set me on the right track with the presentation of the product customization in the cart summary? I don't want our clients be presented with "Text #1, Text #2, etc.). 2. Is there someone who has ideas of providing the functionality to charge a client for the number of characters in a text, provided by the customer. Do I need to write a module for that? And if so; where should I hook it in the existing PHP-code? Or are there other, simpler ways of implementing this?Apart from this I noticed some presentation issues with buttons that are to small for the text that's on them. Anyone else who solved this?Hope someone can set me on the right track with this.Thanks in advance.TheoPS. Sorry for my bad use of the English language, but hey; at least I'm trying :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheotV Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hello,Was my English just that bad? Or is there just no solution to the presented problems?Hopefully someone will help me out here.Cheers,Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spott Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 PrestaShop customization is not so good as in ZenCart or other carts. Unfortunate - team doesn't give any information, has they plan to improve these features or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheotV Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 I see this sort of reaction a lot in the Prestashop forums. People are annoyed about the fact that they don't know if functionality they need will be available in the futute. Of course we need to take into account that this is open source after all. But i'd like to know if the sort of functionality I was looking for will be in a future version of Prestashop.I don't agree that others carts do a better job customizing products. Although I did not look at Zencart, I examined Virtuemart, Magento and OSCommerce and all of them lacked good customizing functionality.Come on Prestashop team! Prestashop is a very good product! But at least give people some good documentation about how they can build lacking functionality for themselves. I can't find that either.Regards,Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0nn1ef Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Does anyone know if this feature has been addressed by the PrestaShop team or not? If it hasn't, can someone tell me how to get this placed on a "feature request" list and it actually get considered for implementation?Looking at the code for version 1.3x, it appears to me that this feature may have been started but not completed. In the table {ps_prefix}customization table, there are columns for quantity, quantity_refunded, quantity_returned that match up to values set in the Product class in the Product::addCustomizationPrice() function.This should be a basic option for customizations of products because merchants may have different pricing models per product. They could charge per letter, per line of text, or not charge for customization at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I don't believe it was addressed yet.The only thing I know of that can help in this situation (but would still need some customizing for price per letter) is http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/47363/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
