Well... as of this comment, foot stools and more is on a shopify website, so nothing to do with TB now. 😞

A few years later, in case anyone stumbles onto this post... This does not support TB. The module is written for PS 1.7.0 thru 9.0 and it uses overrides, which in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but if you have other overrides, you might have to dig into some code to make it all work together. I'm still looking for a better product combinations method (or online designer) for custom branded softgoods and hardgoods.

Thanks Rampage, I spent hours trying to figure out what the heck I was doing wrong. Turns out I got the keyword from the manual of an OLDER version of Prestashop. This is a very good point to remember though! I must have been daydreaming about going to Mars or something... Thanks again for taking the time to answer this silly question.

I am having difficulty with configuring a specific SEO URLS rewrite in my beta store and would like some feedback - maybe I'm asking too much from the system. Desired URL: domain.com/p/88-21/product-name.html I want to keep the product id in the url string as I have found this element to be critical in certain situations. The "p" tells me it is a product, I'm using "c" for categories. Maybe I don't need the product attribute, but I don't want to move forward under that assumption if I can figure out how to include it in the final output. SEO-URL Rewrite: p/{id}{-:id_product_attribute}/{rewrite}.html I keep getting a 404 error with the above configuration. p/{id}/{rewrite}.html However, if I leave out the product attribute option {-:id_product_attribute} - this SEO friendly URL rewrite scheme works fine. I've also tried adjusting the attribute to {id_product_attribute:/} and its reverse with no success.

Am I correct in this assumption? Why is the "$product->unit_price_ratio > 0.000000" in the condition? This seems like a basic coding question, and on the off chance that it is, and you aren't a programmer: The '&&' (and) symbol is an operator like '===' (strict equals) or '>' (greater than) or '<' (less than) ... {if !empty($product->unity) && $product->unit_price_ratio > 0.000000} IF !empty($product->unity) is indeed empty, nothing else processes because !empty($product->unity) fails so the second evaluation is discarded. In other words - BOTH conditions are required to be TRUE before the code contained within the test will be executed - an {elseif} or {elseif [condition statement(s)]} etc. would allow for one or more alternate tests - similar to a tertiary statement or even a case switch.

THIS IS the very reason I have turned OFF and BLOCKED ALL automatic updates of any kind on ALL of my web assets - which include Prestashop, ThirtyBees, and Wordpress assets. Production sites cannot afford to have these kinds of chaotic and unexpected service disruptions happening, especially given the penalties from the search engines as they constantly have bots hitting your sites and will penalize your listings (covertly of course) the moment your site goes down and stays down beyond their unpublished golden limits. That said, when you do turn off the automatic updates on ThirtyBees, it's a much more stable and better "engine" than what I know of out there. I was not going to respond to this thread, but I feel like a conversation is desperately needed with software developers who are apparently impervious to the consequences of their considerable and constant "must upgrade" mentality. (Usually for "security" reasons although nothing in most of those new updates had anything to do with "security".) It's disruptive to business processes and operations, and if it truly is that unsecure that it constantly needs "security updates", it should NEVER have been released for anything other than testing purposes in the first place. Quality Control should have identified those bugs (security or otherwise) so that the Development Staff could resolve those DEFECTS - BEFORE any rollout happened! I do understand the issues facing open source development groups, but if you want to truly stand out from other projects and the commercial garbage being released these days, the answer, in my opinion, is to put more emphasis on the quality control facet of your project and have someone independent of the developers responsible for that process. Oh, and if that QC Manager says "NO" to a rollout - don't overrule them because you have some artificial (and they are ALL artificial) deadline to meet. At some point, if the above is followed, people - mostly consumers of your product, will begin talking about how reliable and robust your solution is. That my friends is the gold standard that ALL technology companies should strive for - not to see who beats who with the next bugged-up release or patch. Unfortunately, today you will have to use your own money to buy a cup of coffee with this opinion.

It's only an indicator. When your category lists (my site has over 1,000 categories) contain as many as 500 items AND you want a quick visual scan to see if you are out of stock of anything in a particular category while preparing a purchase order, having some sort of color indicator for out-of-stock items will make it easier to spot those items for those of us with older eyes. This is the best we can hope for since there is no "desired stock level", "reorder point" or "reorder qty" fields in a product inventory or stock_reorder table. I've tried to use the "Stock Coverage" capability built into the Advanced Stock Mgmt feature of Prestashop, but to be frank, I find it woefully inadequate for the purpose it is supposed to perform. Since most people don't run stores my size, I can only assume it was more important for Prestashop to focus on making their product incompatible with previous versions - which is why I have 2 beta sites running TB. The migration of the main site I operate, which must contain all current features of the existing PS website, to TB has basically been stalled for over a year now. But I digress... Your tool has afforded a much improved ability to perform mass-edits on things, similar in outcome to what the eMagicOne PrestaStore Manager application provided in the way of inventory/stock management. It just needs a tweak here or there as I find ways to use your tool to make my ecommerce life easier! My next Prestools purchase will likely be the "special prices" plugin.

Thank You. I'm pretty sure it was in some part of the product-edit.php file, but I've since closed all files related and don't really have the time to go back and sift through that code atm. I simply want to create a visual marker that can quickly identify in the product listing when an item is out of stock. I really don't want to use warehouse stock mgmt, which might actually solve this issue, but that feature seems to make everything more complicated. I don't know why these combination items have highlighting in the qty column, because none of the single items in this category do. I've also noticed yellow previously but haven't been able to locate any lists that have that qty coloring so far since the newest upgrade. (Not sure the latest upgrade has anything to do with that, just mentioning it in case it jogs your memory about something.) I'm using your tool to manage a database of 20k plus products in place of the eMagicOne PrestaStore Manager software. I have tried to reactivate that software on my new laptop, but they have stated I must essentially purchase the software again, even though my current license is a 2-seat license and supposed to be "lifetime". They're based in Ukraine, so no point in trying to pursue any other action than ending the use of their software. The Prestools product has been helpful in numerous ways to this end, but so far, it's been some of the "little things" that have been the stumbling block to meaningful utilization in this endeavor.

Is there a way to add a color to the block where qty is displayed if the quantity value is 0 or less? ...or maybe pink if it is less than qty 1, and green if it is 1 or greater? I found a "lookup" in the code for what appears to be "remaining quantities" but not quite sure how that does anything, and since I don't believe that it's related to the point, I just moved on.

That seems to have fixed it. Thanks!

I can't communicate outside of a forum post because I have conversations (including one with Datakick with 4 entries) that I don't want to delete in my forum message box. This is the first time I have ever had an issue like this on a forum, is there some way to get more message space??

What is this "Warehouse theme" that you speak of? I'm always interested in looking through code that provides cool features to see how other developers implement those features - it is how I have taught myself to code in php, javascript, and smarty, primarily for prestashop and now thirtybees.

I use it so I can enter a location where products are physically stored - one site I manage has over 20k products - makes it much easier to find in the warehouse when picking. The inventory however has been set to local tracking as the warehouse tracking is quite complicated (and a pita) as you have stated. I have a site that will be going live next year that is tied to a brick and mortar store that also has a remote warehouse, so this feature will be instrumental in being able to tell a customer "yes we have it and it will be here tomorrow" or "yes we have it, and it is located on wall section A7 - let me show you".

I recently started using prestools... while it does not have all of the functionality of SM, I have found it to be quite useful in facilitating batch edits and various other needs. I currently use it for light category work and daily for products. I have the supplier plugin and plan on getting two more - so far so good.
