Here is the discussion on the Smarty Github: https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty/discussions/967

The old module still works. But it keeps me on TB version 1.4.
I am prepared to help testing.

Prestashop 1.7 was released in november 2016. The fall in users is much more recent. I see two potential reasons:
- since 2021 Prestashop is owned by an Italian firm, MBE Worldwide. As a consequence the project is now split between an opensource project and the corporation. It now is released in two versions: the opensource version - only available on Github - and the "Edition Basic" that is available on their website prestashop.com. The problem is that the "Edition basic" contains a dozen extra modules that add nothing in shopping functionality but tend to make the software less stable.
- In the last year they have made it increasingly hard to install Prestashop under Windows with Xampp or similar programs. It is now almost impossible (once installed running is no problem). This may also be a consequence of the increased influence of volunteers on the project. These tend to be Linux nerds who look down on Windows. They forget that Windows is often the first place where try out Prestashop.

I want to adapt the tax rate of a country on the tax rules page. However, when I click the edit button nothing happens. When I look in the browser console I see an ajax call that returns false.
I am using version 1.6.
What could this be?

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.
The yellow background is for products with the depends_on_stock flag set.
It puzzles me a bit why someone would depend on a background color to see that a product is out of stock. A search for products with quantity lower than 1 would seem much easier. But I can add it as an option if you want.

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.
I will think about it. But at the moment I don't see how to do this without making the page more confusing.
I don't know what you refer to in your second paragraph.

What are the hosting requirements of Thirty Bees (PHP, Mysql, MariaDb)?

Got ya. However I'm still doing it manually per item... there's no option to click ALL and give them all the same size / weight for shipping?
You can do that with mass edit.

Maybe I've missed it, but is it possible to change the weight and height of all items in one category at the same time?
Yes. Note that there are two widths, weights, etc. One is a field in ps_product used for shipping. The other is a feature.
The fields used for calculating shipping costs have been called shipwidth, shipheight, etc in Prestools

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 understand that it would be useful for you. But it would be a lot of work for me. So I would need to charge you some money to add it. You can pm me if you want a custom addition.

I found something else that isn't in the free version, but cannot find a plugin for it - warehousing - does this exist as a plugin?
Prestools doesn't support warehousing. That is a limitation. Few people use that, it is complex and its functionality has been reduced In Prestashop 1.7.

I am looking for a basic product export with all the fields on the information tab, the price and wholesale price values, the 3 SEO fields on the SEO tab, the Associations tab fields, Shipping Tab fields, Quantity Tab fields, and Suppliers Tab information.
Warehouse info would probably be too much to hope for - but mentioned here just in case.
This is useless for me. I need concrete pictures and data that show both the present output and what changes you would like to see.

1) Maybe I am missing it buried in all the features - but is there a place to export all of the product information into a csv (so I can move items in a category between websites/servers)?
I doubt whether you ever will see such a function. With discounts, carriers, etc the product information is enormously complex. The product-edit page has a csv export function and if you have concrete demands we can look.
Quote2) I still have the issue of VAT showing up in the product-sort.php list even though I have removed both "VAT" fields from the first array line (in settings1.php) - is there somewhere else that VAT and/or VAT Price need to be turned off?
Makes me wonder what you are doing. I have uploaded a new version. Maybe it helps.
QuoteI need to correct the above - when I remove "VAT" and "VAT Price" from the array, I get an error - "You are using an old version of settings1.php. Please update it!"
People like to preserve their settings1.php when they upgrade. But that is not a good idea when new fields have been added. So you need to take the new settings file and enter your credentials and choices in it.
QuoteI want to purchase Tags and Supplier plugins, but I am also considering Carriers plugin and maybe Discounts (I can't find one for Warehousing)... is there a way to see a demo of the last 2(3) and is it possible to get a bundle of only the plugins that I want instead of the whole enchilada option?
When you enable the field you see how it will look like and how it works. The only thing that doesn't work is the submit. I don't understand what you mean when you ask for a demo.
Most people who buy the package use some plugins more than others. That is one of the reasons why it is much cheaper than the sum of the parts.

Hi Obi,
Thank you for your report. The problem only happened when you had selected subcats AND you displayed the position field. I have fixed it in the attached file.

I finally got around to using Prestools for something other than resorting products within a category using products-sold.php. (My PrestaStore Manager program messes up the sorting if I move an item in the list - think lazy click where an item gets accidentally dragged to a new position - it cannot be resolved in the PrestaStore Manager program.)
Anyway, I found the report created by products-sold.php to be useful for some sales analysis I have wanted to do for some time now, except there is no quantity on hand field/column in the report. I would like to be able to see the stock status/quantity of any given item in the list.
So my question is this: What would it take to add a QTY display for the quantity in stock to be displayed in this report?
I have more than 20,000 products in the catalog and have installed Prestools version 1.34e in the hope that this field had been added, it has not, so having a quick-at-a-glance best sellers report with current available stock would be helpful. Is this something available in a different part of the toolsuite or is it possible to add this to the existing products-sold.php report as an extra fields option? (I guess this is a redundant question, but left for clarity.)
Also
PS: There is also a bug where I am unable to export to csv from the products-sold.php report.
PPS: There is also a bug in product-sort.php where VAT and PriceVAT are not selected, yet these columns still appear in the report list. Is there a simple code change to fix that? Having these two unnecessary/unwanted fields in the report output is not only distracting clutter, but takes up valuable report space.
PPPS: So far, great job on the tool, I'll likely purchase an add-on or two in the near future.
Thank you for liking Prestools. I have uploaded a new version that may solve some of your problems.
- stock is one of the optional extra fields that you can select.
- I fixed one bug in products-sold, but as you didn't provide details I am not sure it is the one you meant.

I am now running the 3.3.1 version of Mollie with Thirty Bees 1.4.0 (compiled for PHP 7.4) and PHP 8.1. It works but I am stuck. Upgrading Thirty Bees will crash my Mollie module. And newer versions of the module don't make a difference.
Are there any plans for an upgrade?

I'm looking for solution to clean category pages tree with the fastest way.
I've got old category tree so with seo agency decided to:
- firstly, remove products from category that are not in the main tree (they come from older version of presta etc)
- secondly, remove from page category description
- thirdly, create page FAQ that will cover words from description
- fouthly, set-up redirection 301 from old category pages to FAQ
- lastly, delete old category pages.
Can you advise my approch is ok?
With prestatools I can edit and remove category from each page but its very time-consuming approach.
If you find the Prestools mass edit functions time-consuming then you will need to build your own tools. But it is not even clear to me whether you are using mass edit.

I'm getting a couple of these via PayPal. Did your customer use PayPal and are you using our tb native module?
Yes, I am using the native Paypal module.
But two things puzzle me:
- I have disabled the guest checkout. Yet this cart has no registered customer
- the cart and the mail have the same time (2:27am). One would expect someone to expect at least five minutes before sending a mail that you didn't receive an order confirmation.
Those things make me wonder: is something going wrong in the shop or is someone trying to get products for free?
-
This morning I received a mail from a customer that he had placed an order and paid but that he hadn't received confirmation.
There was no order in the orders list and I couldn't find his name in the customers list either.
Finally, when I looked at the carts I found something relevant: a recent cart with the product he had mentioned. But it was also puzzling. The cart contains the label "Non ordered" and has no customer name.
Also puzzling is that the cart has exactly the same date/time as the mail that he sent me.
What is going on here?

I am busy making my webshop fit for PHP 8.1 and Thirty Bees 1.5.1.
Now when I run the shop in this new constellation I get an error 'Class "Mobile_Detect" not found' for my Whatsappchat module.
The offending line is "$mobile = new Mobile_Detect();"
It looks like this is a Thirty Bees problem. In the TB 1.4 version I see in /classes/Context.php "new Mobile_Detect();". In 1.5.1 this is "new MobileDetect();". So something was changed.
However, making a similar change in my Whatsappchat module doesn't solve my problem. I still get a class not found error.
Does anyone know the solution?

Was there a difference between the payment methods by any chance?
no, both Paypal

I did some investigations on this phenomena. I have a customer who made two orders. He provided his VAT number so his intra-EU tariff is zero.
In his first order everything looks correct.
However, for his second order the ps_order_detail table looks correct but the ps_order_detail_tax looks strange. The id_tax and unit_amount fields look as if tax must be paid. However, the total_amount field is zero.

It appears there is an update of GMnumeric that solves the problem.

When will PrestaShop end?
in English
Posted
I get the impression that Prestashop is increasingly targeting big companies and is getting less interested in the small outfits.
That could open an opportunity for Thirty Bees.
Recently I encountered this article. It is about a Dutch company that makes themes and other parts for Magento, specifically targeting parts that Magento considers less attractive.
It is kind of what to me seems a logical future for Thirty Bees. It wouldn't be hard to stay compatible with Prestashop regarding the business data of the database. That way you can offer a very easy migration between Prestashop and Thirty Bees - both ways. The business data changes very slow. Almost all the "innovation" at Prestashop concerns Symfony adaptations.
