easysaves Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Hi! 1. Can Prestashop handle 20 000 products is my first question? I think ill manage with 1000 products but still this can be a need in future. -how can i download pictures for all / some are going to use same pictures. Should i link them on import directly. -can i show the products in a list view only, without picture? Which module to use with this? 2. I have project where there should be like 5 main categories under "home". First one is a "campaign" where users can buy products, and rest should be categories that will have links to suppliers catalogs and straights pdf files for users to see and make order thru phone / message. Which modules do i need for this, or can i allready do this on with basic shop? So ill have categories that have product that can be "bought" from the shop and also categories that cant be bought, only "catalog mode" or have links/ pdf catalogs that should be "readable" with some reader inside the shop (maybe flipped). 3. On my local prestatest, i have increased the attachment size to 15mb, still when i save attachment thats 11mb, i get no errors but still nothing is attached. (i need to test to get the big pdf files under one category, as there will be no products there, only pdf files) Thanks in advance! Im in a hurry to test this so i appreaciate really much for fast answers from gurus/pros Also as we are Finland, ill need Paytrail module ofc. This one im going to buy from local add-one makers, as the prestashops add-on is only in english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelWebsites Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Dear EasySaves, 1.Yes Indeed prestashop can handle 20,000 products,but for this you will need to have a Good Hosting Server to ensure your mysql database will work fast.You can go for Arvixe Webhosting it is the best to host websites build on PrestaShop. 2.Yes you will be able to do this with your Basic Prestashop installation.There is no need for purchasing a third Party Module.You will need to create a "campaign" category from which user can buy products from admin backoffice Catalog>Categories and then link products to this category.And now about the remaining for category categories I would suggest you to create CMS pages from admin backoffice Preferences>CMS now you will see something like PAGES IN CATEGORY "HOME". you can create the other pages you are talking about over here and the maybe provide maybe external links to your respective pdf files as per your requirements.Then you just need to configure the module "Top Horizontal Menu". I hope this advice was useful to you.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easysaves Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Thanks Joel! Ill try that campaign right away. How about those attachments? Weird that i dont get any errors but it doesnt still show them.... Then some more questions 1.About import: One more question, i tried to import products but it seems not to show prices, is it because otf the "date published" or date in stock. i have both 1.1.2015. Or is it invalid time format ? I cant see price, add to cart - nothing. And on product information i think i have all information. I have Finnish as region, but still that seems to be a significant information on import? if i want to import from a file automaticly, which module to use (ERP dumps new products and stock amount every night). Also order export later on should be timed. 2. Images for products -> they are too big? Can i have the products on a list view? now if i have like 100+ products on group, its many pages? This is very important. Im new to Presta so have to ask some. Wooshops im more familiar with but Wordpress in my opinion is not best solution for webshop. Presta has better and more logical configuration Edited November 7, 2015 by easysaves (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelWebsites Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I cannot understand where exactly are you trying to attach the files...Please elaborate 1.Are you using the CSV bulk upload if yes.. You must select ignore column from the dropdown if in case you are not sure about fields like the date published or date instock. Please check if you have entered the product quantities ( make sure its not zero). I am not sure about if there`s any module to import from a file automatically, however you might have to create a cron job so that this task may be performed automatically which runs a php file. Yes there is a list view as well.You will see grid as well as list view in the category section.Incase you want to disable images for the products on this list you will need to make custom changes in the related product .tpl files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easysaves Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Hi! I checked my CSV file and there i have quantity 1 and minimum quantity 1 also. Still, on shop front i cant see prices or "add cart" etc. Very odd... Attached pictores from front and backend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoelWebsites Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Message me your email address ....I will forward you a sample CSV file that should work ( you will need to check if the structure for columns is the same) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easysaves Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Hi Joel, im trying import now, well see About this "Yes there is a list view as well.You will see grid as well as list view in the category section.Incase you want to disable images for the products on this list you will need to make custom changes in the related product .tpl files" Which tpl files should i change and which rows should i change to not break anything It should involve all current products and all products ill upload. I only want to remove the picture as whole from the shop. Only categories will have picture, not the products as they cant be fetched from the suppliers pricelist pdf. Thanks a lot if you can still help me on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
