What do you want 1.6 to do ?

Recommended Posts

I am just curious as we all know they are working on it right now There are some things that is lacking from 1.5x .    I know they have the bug tracker where you can but we all know they don't read it.  Shoot i have bugs that have been up for almost a year now.

 

Get yours up here.

 

 

What i would like to see because i do 50-100 orders a day is a thought out admin order process screen.   Many things are  repeated on this screen.  The  formating could be done so that less screen space is used and the  items in the order can be  above the fold.   Many unimportant things need to be below the orders.  

 

What do you want to see?

I have not found a demo of it yet.    I am not inany hurry to install it.  I like to stay back 1 version as it always seems to be way to buggy at first.

 

I just know 1.5x branch could have kept lots of clicking down and scrolling down to get to the important parts.

 

Like above you always have to scroll on product order page to see .  

having to click threw a very slow loading customer page +5min load time on larger customers to get to other details.  When you can't get tot he details any other way.   Had a bug report in for awhile on this one.   Bug goes back to 1.4.4

I assume your clients just get a large amount of orders from everyone.   I get customers that have  50-100 orders each. These can take  5mins for there profiles to load.    rocky fixed it back in  1.4.7 but this issue has crept back in.

product images by language....especially the cover.

That would be a good feature...

 

Be able to edit shipping on a order that is already placed.   PIta  if they call back and add more items or want to change the way its being shippinged. 

And this even better. At least if the current state was default one.

 

I would add a better search. Currently you can't search combinations references,barcodes,...

A better specific price edit.

Well, from what i see on my local install of 1.6 and the progress of work from github, there are no core classes / api changes. There is still a long way to go until it is ready to be released. Rewriting both the admin and default theme to bootstrap will take a while. The frontend is still untouched.

I want only evolution (like WordPress), not revolution every 6 moths. As a developer I know what I am saying.

 

well, theme modifications isn't "revolution" in my opinion. I think that core will not be changed totally, only fixes for bugs etc

Hello,

write here your own requests for Prestashop 1.6 coming in December!

 

 

1- Export Products (with descriptions, tags, images), and Orders, and Customers

 

2- CKEditor instead of tinyMCE (or at least enable all options available in tinyMCE by default)

 

3- Shipping rate according to payment method (it's a feature bundled in ANY other e-commerce platform!)

 

4- Shipping rate per ZIP code

 

5- The possibility to insert some custom html code in any module hook

 

6- In the same cart, the possibility to have some products that will be paid later, and others immediately payable. ("Bookable Products")

 

7- A serious backup system, like Akeeba Backup for Joomla

 

8- The possibility to select the destination while cloning some products (ex. Clone to --> All shops, Shop nr3...)

 

9- I would like that the module "blocksearch" was capable of searching in all of my stores/shops of my multishop installation of prestashop (configurable: search in "current shop" or shop 1,2,6 or "all shops")

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you all know that the Front Office has also been uploaded to GitHub under the Bootstrap branch. See the (mostly) full Back and Front Office to test as you want. 

 

And please, I know that if you know how to download the package from GitHub and Test Install it you know this already but just in case. DO NOT use the Github package for any live store whatsoever. 

 

What is up on GitHub is just for viewing and test purposes. When the Alpha version is released it will be better for testing but go ahead and download it and test.

Hi, my opinion is that it would be good as an option...but if forces to load same images for each language when you don't need to be different (like in my case) then becomes a pain

Integrate module for comparing shipping methods with payment methods like Ship2Pay,

 

Make new carrier - Pick up in store (when someone want to pick up a order directly in shopper store or warehouse) - I make it via duplicate COD module with little changes (http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/283615-modu%C5%82-odbi%C3%B3r-osobisty-dla-ps-156)

 

B2B options!! Delayed payment (7,14,21 days) with outstanding balance for our VIP clients!! With payment reminder when overdue!!

 

Voucher for Product Comments - like Voucher for Newsletter.

Configure the opportunity to choose <new special price> for categories of buyers not only for <one or all>, but for a certain number of choice while holding down the <ctrl>. I have added 4th category of buyers <wholesaler> and there are some discounts, but <new special price> for retail buyers should not act for wholesale.

Hi!

 

An functional integration of ship2pay module. after update from 1.5.4.1 to 1.5.6.0, some payments modules are unavailable for customers and drive me crazy...

 

is very important to have a easy way to force customers payment method in a right currency, right payment method, acording with shipping address

 

other usefull thing can be possibility in BO, when create an product to imput product price in a selectable currency. in some cases, we receive from our vendors, prices in euro, usd & romanian lei, and is very difficult to maintain correct prices in FO

An auto-upgrade that works without breaking the shop would be nice! :)

 

the last two times upgrading from 1.4 to 1.5 has stalled and restore not worked leaving me with a trashed database :angry: . Luckily this was a 'test' duplication of the live shop!

I just downloaded the 1.6.0.1 Alpha. Very nice. I love the new front end, and the admin side is looking good too. A quick glance at the code and I see it is still xhtml, wondering when Prestashop will go to html5? Also, there are an awful lot of links to css, could this not be simplified? Within the admin side, I was disappointed to see it is still many steps until you reach a page where you can adjust quantities - this makes stock checks very painful. Another thing is, I know there is a button to show just the installed modules, but it seems a pain to make new users sift through all the disabled modules - and there are about 50 you have thrown in which are not enabled - we all know they are available on the website after all. Maybe you could add to your website an option to pay €5 for a stripped down version without all the adverts. :)

 

My thoughts overall: well done to the Prestashop team. The move to bootstrap and a modern, two column default theme makes sense.

For 1.6 I would like to have some better help to control product introduction and phase out. Maybe something like this:

 

- Product LifeCycle status:

 

-- Unannounced product. Ability to specify a release date at which the product will change to "Active" (as per present status). Flags to indicate other factors that would block a change to "Active", ie No stock, No image, No price etc.

 

-- Active product. Visible as today and all data is supporting marketing of this product.

 

-- Withdrawn from marketing. Product exist, even a stock figure might exist, but for some reason, quality, technical or business, we decide to stop marketing this product. It is still possible to revert to "Active", so all data is kept and stock and supply is maintained, but product is not visible to customers.

 

-- Obsoleted product. The product is not possible to market. Technical or business reason. Stock value is zero regardless if any quantity is left. Basic data is kept, but the product is not included in stock value calculations.

 

Thanks

Please Please Please allow for combinations and attributes that can be linked to other products and other product stock.

 

It drives me crazy that I sell buttons with a choice of microswitch and the microswitch separately, but I can not link the stock in the 30 different buttons I sell to the stock of the microswitch.  

You really need a good way of selling assemblies and subassemblies and reflecting this in the stock numbers.

 

This would also allow for some really great combinations of products where you can change the groupings... 

Attributes are fine, but there should be a link to other stock.

Why would it need to be in alphabetical order? It is in the order in which they sorted them, that should be the desired order. 

 

 

I totally agree. In fact, I think this change would anger more people than anything. You have the option of changing the order of your categories for easy navigation, that is not always going to be alphabetical.

- Please develop wholesale function for Prestashop because to this moment PS is support only for detail selling. With this option we can definite how many pcs is packed in set.

For example we can definite product A is pack with 6 pcs, price for 1 pcs is 10 eur.

Product B is packed in 12 par, with 10 eur/par.

Customer must buy 6 pcs or 12 pairs.

 

Combine default with this suggestion function owner could use sell by detail and wholesale in his site.

Function packing I suggest, depend on characters of product, owner can set that customer can buy product A by 6, 6+1, 6+1+1

and product B with only 12 par, 12+12 par, 12+12+12 par.

 

- And owner can definite par, pcs, litr, m2. and so on for product.

 

Thank you.

What about 3 simple steps checkout? Current 5 steps is not acceptable

 

Step 1. cart summary + shipping method + payment method + terms agreement

Step 2. login, sign up, guest

Step 3. confirmation + payment (for online or debit card method)

 

Most can't understand why shipping method is now in "step 4". User should know total price in "step 1" (product price + shipping price)

3 simple steps is not my wim. It is usability.

 

Please transform checkout to 3 simple, user friendly steps

Please Add the following as I believe they are essential:

 

1- Fix the RTL Theme problem. Even in the backoffice you choose this option in the language section no change happens.

 

2- Extra tabs in product description

 

3- Choosing more than 1 feature for the product

 

Thanks

maybe because cloud is partial to innodb and not myisam...

 

also innodb is ACID compliant, learn more here.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACID

 

 

it will be more friendly for small bussiness to have option using myisam than innodb at installation step.

some host package restrict access to innodb feature, and could cause their webhost account suspend.

I haven't seen anything, even in the documentation, on setting up subscriptions and recurring payments (ie, through Authorize.net AIM).  The AIM plugin description mentions that capability, but no such configuration option appears.  Perhaps I've overlooked it. 

 

Also, I didn't see a way to configure free shipping for specific product.  For instance, a subscription shouldn't be subject to shipping charges, but checkout still needs to collect a shipping address (may differ from payment address).  Again, I couldn't find anything in the demo site or documentation for this.

 

Anyway, recurring/subscription products and product-based free shipping would be great, and should be part of core, IMO.

 

I'm really liking PrestaShop from what I've seen so far.  Great work. I can't wait for 1.6 final.

Back office functions:

  1. adding a comment line for products on customer's order
  2. changing product name in back office when adding a product to customer order (now you have to go to Products and change the name of product every time you want to change the text somehow)
  3. changing payments and invoices - deleting the payment automatically created when customer ordered and update the invoice. When order is changed i.e. customer calls and adds a product before bank transfer has been made, it should be possible to delete the payment so that customer can have a "clean" invoice for the total sum.
  4. Editing shipping costs
  5. Deleting orders - combining 2 linked orders to 1 and update invoice accordingly

These are basic functions needed all the time in b2b and wowrking around these takes a lot of time now

Here's what I would like to see as part of the core features:

 

- Private Shop Mode (required on many B2B sites): prices are shown only to registered customers, which have to be approved manually. Store admin should receive an email upon customer registration and when enabled, the customer should receive a notification. I have several sites like this, but now I have to use a 3rd party module.

 

- Hability to restrict Payment methods to Shipping carriers (Payments2Carriers module) as part of the core. This is vital. Any commerce solution has this.

 

- Product combinations on bundle products. This feature is lacking a lot. It makes no sense to create a bundle of an outfit, for instance, if the customers cannot choose the sizes of each garment.

 

- Hability to define multiples of minimum amounts for products, as mentioned above. Some products are sold only in boxes of 6 units, for example. Right now you have to put the price of the whole box, which does not look nice and can seem expensive at first if the customer does not know he is purchasing 6. Should be able to show the price/unit but allowing the customer to buy only in multiples defined for that product. This is especially useful in B2B too.

 

- Multilingual attachment support. THIS IS A MUST. If a product has an attachment, you can only upload the file in one language! We should be able to upload the file for each language enabled on our shop.

 

- Shipping option for "adding to existing order". If a customer makes an order and wants to add more products before the first one is shipped, he has to make another order, pay shipping again, etc. A carrier that would check if the customer has an "open" order (not shipped) and offer this option would be great.

Product combinations on Packs is essential

(I came from zencart which had the facility, and was disappointed to find PS wasn't capable of it :( )

Adding a product to a CMS page would be pretty handy for us, and probably a lot of others.

 

And I know its bootstrap so works on most/all devices, but having a better mobile layout is essential.

in the current alpha stage, you can only see 'nearly' 1 full product on mobiles when in product list, whereas on our site we can see 3, nearly 4 products. (see image)

+1 for product combinations on Packs.

 

Can anyone tell if it would be included? There is no chance to do it even by a payed module and this is frustrating.

I would say that would be out of the realm of a default Prestashop install, as most shops wouldn't want it, but I think there would be a great demand for a module/plugin to offer this kind of thing, there isn't currently anything released that I've found that is up to the grade, perhaps a few of us should work together and hire a developer? I'd be interested.

I'll add to the list something simple:

 

- Stores clustering in the the store locations map. This should be easy. 

 

I'm interested in the idea: I like the MarkerClusterer. Would you (or someone else) be able to send a PR with this feature?

 

---

 

Thanks for all your feedbacks. We are reading this thread and noting your ideas. Some of them should be done in 1.6.x - some more urgent than others.

Please keep in mind that if something is doable by an existing module, this probably won't be implemented as we consider that this is less urgent since a solution exists. Also, request that are too specific (like Khioen's one) are meant to be done through a module but won't be native. flamedtofu's answer is great in that sense:

Hello,

Today I installed Prestashop 1.6.0.2 to my localhost and I would like to have features in 1.6 (only function but not SEO, technicques)

In BO:

A. CATALOG-->PRODUCT->EDIT

1. At product information: Keep location, suppliers reference

2. Combine price with product information in one page to save time

Add option that owner can choose:

Display on FO

 - Display only price incl. VAT

 - Display only price excl. VAT

 - Display all (means incl and excl.)

3. Add units to products: owner can choose m, m2, m3, litr, pack, pcs. pairs, or ever he definites

4. Quantity

Keep mininum as previous version, improve maximum and feature for wholesale (I don't see it even enable advanced stock management)

I suggest like:

Minimum quantity:   (set 1 to default)

Display min on FO: enabled/disabled

Maximum quantity:   (set 0 to default) 

Display max on FO: enabled/disabled

Rate:               (set 1 to default)

Display rate on FO: enabled/disabled

I could explain a little here,

If owner do not enter nothing, it will be like present Prestashop, but if he gives min = 5, and rate =5, when customers click plus, Prestashop will add 5 to basket and must be buy at least 5 pcs

B. CATALOG:

To this moment Prestashop doesn't have option to help owner know who is doing the thing ?

For example we have 5 employers, named worker1, worker2, worker3, worker4, worker5, we the owner don't know which worker uploaded this products, complete orders

So I suggest at CATALOG add a table: "user" to definite who did it

C: ORDER,

Please also add tables into ORDER-->VIEW

At the moment we have

 

 

Product , Unit , Price  tax included.,  Qty,  Warehouse,  Available quantity,   Total

 

Please add User checked,   user packed  , notice (text)

 

I couldn't find out where can choose price tax incl and excl. because somebody wants only display price excl in his site

 

 

C. Information

It very nice if this version has option conversation between users

User1 can send a notice in format message or sticker in BO to only user2 or group for easy communicate. I think to this moment Prestashop developed for only one user and needn't communicate with each others and if a site have 2 or more user, maybe they sit in a small room :)

 

 

D. Front office.

When I try to give a total to free shipping, a text in cart page was removed, please enable it "You have xxxx to free shipping"

And maybe it is a bug, I set 50 euro for free shipping, but when my cart has around 40 euro there is just free shipping in cart

I don't see discount setting in this version, please add in cart page that can display

Your shopping cart contains xxx products and yyy euro

You are in 1% discount and have zzz euro to 2% discount 

 

And the most important thing: improve BO that easy, simple for user, save time, save click mouse and time change page.

Sorry for my English and Happy New Year !

My wish would be more bulk action options for products in the product list overview. Such as bulk editing prices, changing status "available for order" for all selected products and so on. I understand that there are some commercial add ons for this, but having this in the core functionalities would be really nice some time in the future may be .. :-)

Just some ideas about better view.

Maybe it is stupid thinks, or maybe You will find something.

 

Also would be more good to have live (or something like that) translate opportunity, like there is in Magento, because now sometimes it is really hard to find not translated words.

Hi, first post here. great work by Prestashop and community for building 1.5 and 1.6, best open source e-commerce ive seen so far.

 

I liked the latest default 1.5 theme with 3 columns and simple layout not too many pics everywhere like a clothes retailer shop.

 

so my request is that if possible make a responsive Bootstrap 3 version of the latest 1.5 theme with the 3 column layout

 

or if 1.5 isnt being supported any more then,

 

give the option to make it a 3 column layout in the latest 1.6 theme more easily please, as it seems you need to go into the code to do it or am i mistaken?

I like what you did. This is what the default theme is about: feel free to take what you like, and improve it as you want.  You're welcome to produce another theme with the improvements you've showed.

Thank you for the kind word. Please note that you can keep your theme while switching from 1.5 to 1.6, including the default theme of 1.5. However, we (PrestaShop) are not going to do a Bootstrapped-version of this 1.5 theme. But it doesn't mean someone else won't do it. :)

As for the option to make a 3 column layout in 1.6, it already exists - but, yes, you have to do some coding to create new templates.

Won't be in 1.6.0 but we're aware of this need. As you said, addons are available for these tasks, so this won't be as urgent as other improvements.

Thanks for considering these options for future development. The problem with third party modules is that you never know if they will be updated for future versions. I had two wonderful modules I can't use with prestashop 1.5 anymore. This is why I would prefer more important features in core prestashop. Anyway ... I am really happy with the prestashop development. Thanks for all the work.

Please, take in consideration making a correct B2B feature, the actual one is JUST A JOKE !

 

It even begins with the registration form... french or spanish localized fields, hard to remove/hide/unactivate, no EU VAT numbers validation, company field at strange place.. well, I won't tell eveything but it is such a mess....

 

PLEASE, make B2B feature as it should be, please !

Is it possibility to write the ObjectModel class model that can be created entity class with associtin (manyTOmany or manyTOone etc.) where multishop or lang is setting on false?

 

ps How to define entity class for Table:

 
CREATE TABLE `as_TOWZDJ` (
  `T_ID` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `TZ_NR` smallint(6) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `TZ_FILENAME` varchar(159) DEFAULT NULL,
  `DICOM` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY (`T_ID`,`TZ_NR`)
)

Something for the customers.

When signing up or entering a new address.

Address lookup would be handy.

Ie, Enter your postcode and it shows all addresses on that postcode, which then gives the customer a dropdown selection box to choose their address. :)

Yes, but that's a paid solution, and is of course UK-specific. Anything using the Royal Mail PAF data won't be free.

I can't see PS offering such a feature as part of a free package, but I'm happy to be proved wrong.

Cheers, Dave

Three things I think would be beneficial to the community.

 

The default theme having an installer package.

 

Themes have a function that globally unhook all modules and rehooks them by what the theme needs.

 

A theme reset button that reruns the configurations file, similar to who modules have.
