Product release date

[Babluit]

Is there a way to add a product release date?

 

I think that it should be a great feature to be able to set different dates for adding and releasing a product. Also, the time while a product is considered as new should be related with the release date.

 

There are many product types where it could be very usefull: books, DVD, songs...

 

Thank you!

hello

 

you want only simple new field "release date" or field with some kind of features? for example:

- if release date has not been exceeded: product should be invisible

 

?

Yes, it could be a nice feature as an option.

 

I also would like to display a tag like "coming soon" instead of "new product".

 

An other feature I would like is to be able to display an approximate date of availability. I often have to announce a new product to be released without knowing the exact day or even month. It is the same thing for all my new products and to edit all this manually needs a lot of work.

 

Also sometimes I have to add a product in my store that is not a new product. I mean that the release date was before I got it in the store. In that case, I would like not to display the "new product" tag or maybe display a "new in store" tag.

 

So it would be great to be able to manage something like these availability states:

 

• Coming soon but invisible (until the publishing date)
• Coming soon and visible (from the publishing date to the release date)
• New product (from the release date and x days after)
• New in store but not a new product (when the release date is before the add to store date)

ok, so in this case you will have to do a lot of customization, especially related to Product.php class (classes/Product.php), controllers and database too.

 

It will not be as easy as it seems...
