"Dell doesn't have something like magento bundles"? What exactly do you call this option on their entire site that gives you the choice of putting the products you want in a bundle -> click on system options: http://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/servers-storage-and-networking/poweredge-r730-rack-server/spd/poweredge-r730/per7301356_a This is identical to the Thirty Bees Product Combinations except that it is way more intuitive and useful. This is exactly how my site operates and just so you know Dell's site is identical to magento bundles except that their solution goes a step further with logic. Even overclockers is the same way. The point is: we need this option. Everyone knows this option doesn't exist in the rest of the ecommerce platforms and because of it they stick to something like magento.

I'm not trying to cause an argument with you and again, I'm sorry if it comes across that way. I'm giving you the point of view of someone who is using Magento. How is what I'm asking for "a pure magento clone"? The functionality of Thirty Bees is almost complete except for the way it allows Product Combinations to be made. Currently, there is no way for me to add my products with their sku's to a Product Combination because it only allows that in Product Packs and that is not the same functionality as a Product Combination. Also, you keep telling me that Thirty Bees has similar mechanics - I am asking for help because I don't see those similarities except to be able to add words to a attribute set and set those in a Product Combination with a single SKU. If I'm missing something please tell me. I have even tried to add the attribute values separately with separate SKUs and it doesn't allow that; this is the front end message: "This combination does not exist for this product. Please select another combination."

It seems more fitting to compare SUN Microsystems and PrestaShop. That seems to be closer to the route they took before they went downhill. I see the solution that is available in Thirty Bees and it is similar when using combinations under Standard Products. This process is not the same however as the Magento Bundle Products. After messing around with it more, I see that the Product Pack is not the correct solution. There needs to be a search feature just like the Product Pack has so we don't have to go through the process of adding the SKU individually after picking the attributes. Not really sure why it forces 1 reference number rather than allowing you to either type out the individual SKU or select from a list for each individual product in the attribute set. It is useless to only allow the attribute names to be generated with 1 SKU for the entire product bundle. Currently, I can only add 1 Product Reference to each set of generated combination of products. That does me no good. If I could at least add the SKU of each product to the generated combination of products, I could possibly use csv to make my lists and import, but the single Reference code is useless. How am I supposed to know which of my thousands of products go to which computer? With Magento: Back end - you make an attribute (like CPU) -> add multiple products by selecting from a list with a checkbox; add another attribute (like Memory) -> add multiple products by selecting from a list with a checkbox, etc., etc. all from the same place and then click save. Front end - customer goes to product page and selects 1 product from each attribute set under that particular product and the price gets adjusted and the SKU for all the products (not just a single SKU as a set) that were selected in each attribute is also sent in the backend to my email so that I know which products to include in the bundle. Also, (and this is not an attack on you) you can't deny progress just because you are afraid it will break something. I get it, it takes work, it takes testing, it requires time and money. Nobody is saying give it to me now. Also, if someone could make a module for that, I would buy it. Maybe there is a solution like what I am looking for and I don't see it. Time is money and no one that uses the Magento Bundle will think otherwise and will just move on to another solution or just stick with Magento.

If there were not a need for the Magento like Product Bundle functionality, Magento would not have included it. Thats why for so long they have been the leader in ecommerce. The things everyone calls unnecessary, Magento actually sees the need for it. It doesn't really seem very hard to extend the current functionality of the Product Pack in Thirty Bees except that it might break backward compatibility with Prestashop. Don't know any other reason why that would not be on the to do list in a future release. Unfortunately I have to stick with Magento 1 until next year this time and hope that either Thirty Bees incorporates the Magento Product Bundle or Magento 2 becomes more stable and faster. As far as the quotes option that I need, I currently use cart2quote enterprise edition and it's compatible with Magento 2. I would much rather pay for the module developed by the devis prestashop developer. It costs 1/8th the price and includes everything the cart2quote enterprise edition does, not to mention I have to buy a separate plugin from them to be able to hide the price and add to cart button.

I agree its similar, but only half way there. For example, it lets you group the products by typing and selecting a product by SKU, but that is where the similarity ends. It needs to be able to let you group multiple products under each attribute by selecting from you list of products. Also, it needs to be able to update the price every time something is selected in the set by the customer. The current PrestaShop and Thirty Bees setup is only good for something like a grocery store or clothing store where they only need to have color, size, etc. attributes or just needing to bundle products to give a discount. But i'm willing to be that the Magento version of Product Bundles would help them too. As for the slowness, it has to do with the coding. Magento 1 runs just fine for me on a the shared magento hosting from nexcess.net. My pages load in about 2 seconds and all the same features I talk about are there. Thats not bad for magento. They have made Magento 2 overly complicated and heavy, therefore requiring a much more expensive server to achieve those load times. The one thing that really bothers me in Magento 2 is having to compile static files every time you make a change to the css files. Very buggy process. I ended up having to restore a backup because something ended up deleting core files, lol. To me, Magento 2 is about as ready as PrestaShop 1.7.

Does anyone know of a viable solution for Product Bundles; maybe a module? I need the same functionality as magento. Not really sure why none of the other ecommerce platforms have this feature. Yes Thirty Bees has the Product Pack, but that's not really what a product bundle should be like. Computer parts have a lot of different configurations and it should be more like this video of a Magento Product Bundle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yCbxbcCUCM Have to postpone my switch to a better platform (Thirty Bees), again, because of a single necessary feature...feels like Magento has me in a vice grip, lol! I have been trying for a year now to switch, but I can't find any ecommerce platform that fits the mold. Magento: Would be great if it were not so slow and overly complicated in Magento 2 (seems very similar to what Prestashop is doing) Wordpress with WooCommerce: Excellent Themes, lacks an "Add To Quote" plugin that actually works, is too slow for large sites, and lacks a ton of features. OpenCart: Themes are decent, very fast platform, but lacks a properly working "Add To Quote" plugin so I didn't bother looking any further. Shopify: Themes are terrible, very fast platform, lacks a good "Add To Quote" plugin, lacks a FedEx plugin(have to get their $299 per month plan to add this feature) and the product bundles are essentially similar to that of Thirty Bees Product Pack. Thirty Bees: Themes are very nice, fast platform, able to keep url's the same as in Magento (makes my life so much easier), an import feature that works on thousands of categories/products in under a minute (I have 1140 categories and over 5000 products), "Add To Quote (devis)" plugin that is very similar to that of Cart2Quote for Magento, FedEx plugin, Authorize.net built in, and the only thing that it lacks for me is a real Product Bundle feature. This important feature is the only thing keeping me from being able to switch.

I really hope someone can write an Ask for Quote Module for Thirty Bees that is identical to the devis module. They said they only make the module for prestashop, so I can imagine that at some point it will not be compatible with TB anymore. This module is a crucial part of my business and without it I would not be able to use TB. This is the only point that makes me hesitant on using Thirty Bees. Crossing fingers and really hope that Thirty Bees is successful because I really can't stand Magento 2.

I have tested Store Manager for Prestashop v2.36 and it is compatible with Thirty Bees v1.0.3.

I have tested Store Manager for Prestashop v2.36 and it is compatible with Thirty Bees v1.0.3. I'll update if I have any issues.

I used store manager for prestashop and it seems the categories got imported correctly. Not sure why it only show 1040 of 1140 categories to be empty though.

Didn't know about it, thank you. I'm on php 5.6.3 and it is already enabled.

After messing around with it for a while, I finally got it to work like it should be working. Strange thing is that with smarty cache off it was giving me this problem. When I turned it on and cleared the cache, it started showing up correctly. So now my links show up as domain.com/category1/subcategory1/subcategory2/product123.html instead of domain.com/product123.html or domain.com/category1/product123.html.

When I export, it only exports the 3 main categories and not the subcategories as well.

How do I get domain.com/category1/subcategory1/subcategory2/product123.html for products and domain.com/category1/subcategory1/subcategory2.html for categories because {categories:/}{rewrite}.html doesn't work. It gives me domain.com/product123.html

Why don't you do a manual backup instead with mysql for database and ssh or cpanel to zip your files in tar.gz? Much faster and 100% guarantee you get a good backup.

lol, my php log. I keep getting those in my logs. I got the first one when I went to upgrade and got a internal server error, but it went away. thought maybe it had to do with that.

I have 1140 categories that I wanted to import and it only imported 1040. At least I think. The reason I say I think is because I have no way of checking how many categories exist except for the message of how many categories are empty. Is there somewhere that shows this? The import was successful (except that it couldn't send and email even though test emails from the back office work) and didn't show any errors. I used a .xlsx sheet to import the categories. How do I find out without having to look through each of them 1 at a time?

I have been trying to get the full path of each category and product to show up but it just doesn't seem to want to do that. currently I have put it back to the defaults of Route to products: {categories:/}{rewrite}.html and Route to category: {rewrite}.html. Currently I'm getting domain.com/product123.html and domain.com/category.html. How do I write this so that the full path look like below for both? domain.com/category1/subcategory1/subcategory2/product123.html domain.com/category1/subcategory1/subcategory2.html Also, if the product is clicked from subcategory1 will the link look like domain.com/category1/subcategory1/product123.html? In magento whichever subcategory you click the product under is the path that it shows. So if I click on a product that is under subcategory2 while i'm in subcategory1 the link will show subcategory1/product123.html instead of taking me to category1/subcategory1/subcategory2/product123.html. I'm trying to transition my magento site and that is how the paths show up in there, but I don't seem to be able to get that to work on my thirty bees install.

Thank you, I had no idea all those options were there.

What do you mean?

I read that because this a fork that we can't create child themes. So how do we make changes to files without updates to BT affecting them? For Example I need to change Reference Code and UPC barcode to SKU and Mfg Part Number.

Thanks for the help; I have contacted nexcess to see if they can allow my IP; but why would it cause this error to begin with? Is there something that needs to be fixed in the code?

As the title states, I get a "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /thirtybees/admin/index.php" on this server. Under Backoffice -> Preferences -> SEO & URLs -> I can click save on the last 3 options (schema of urls, general, and .htaccess file) and it gives me that message. I have tried changing the file and folder to 777 and still same problem. My hosting is through nexcess and I have the default .htaccess file from the install. How do I get this to let me add the .html under schema of urls?

On a fresh install, the admin url does not work. It takes you to domain.com/admin instead of for example domain.com/adminFjfkajdklr. Not a big deal but for those that don't know to look in ftp to get the folder name, it looks like the BO is broken. I tried this install twice on nexcess.net and same results. Not sure if anyone else has gotten this on v1.0.2
