Hi Because the URL you've given will give you a 404 on Local (takes you all the way to the localhost root) My test blog post name is 'this-is-a-test'. So using your URL it would be /blog/this-is-a-test: Also, if you try something like this (no initial forward slash): blog/this-is-a-test It works until you browse the site for a bit, then try to access the link on the menu again - then you get this:

Hi As there are many PS 1.6 and TB experts here, I'm wondering if you guys mind sharing some ThirtyBees and Prestashop 1.6 Secrets and great tips / resources? As I'm still learning, I'm constantly looking for great tips and insights into this awesome e-commerce platform (a well deserved kudos to the team and administrators bytw 😉 ) I've found some great tutorials by @Nemo, @lesley and @Vekia (PS 1.6). However, I'm hungry for more hidden and secret tips to help me and by extension, the TB community on our ThirtyBees journey. A nice example would be PS 1.6 and TB Secret Tips, "PS 1.6 Master Course", Admin shortcodes (if they exist 😉 ) and more. I'm currently working on a TB project for work, so a bit busy on this side, but I've encountered a few useful shareable tips / tricks while looking for specific project solutions. In the spirit of sharing and strengthening the knowledge base, I will endeavor to share whatever useful tips I encounter along the way - when I have the time in between focusing on the project. Also, regarding Free Modules, perhaps we can have a Free Modules Section on the Forum (not the market place)?

Hi I've been creating static links to TB Blog pages on the Main Menu, but because I'm working on three different environments, the base URLs will be different. So when I move the site from Local to Staging and eventually to Live, I'll need to remember to update the base URLs every time. I've noticed in the SEO section that there are a few "shortcodes" being used, like: {categories:/}{rewrite}{/:selected_filters} Is there one for baseurl that can be used for a URL in Menu admin? Like: URL: {baseurl}/blog/myblogpostpage Also, is there a list of all the 'secret' shortcodes for PS 1.6 / TB for Admin (even product admin)? I'm aware of some nice Smarty variables for the front-end, but here I'm specifically interested in something similar for the BO Admin.

Hi Is there a way to access the FileManager directly, i.e. add a link to it in the Admin Menu? I know you can access it through a CMS page, but this feels like an unnecessary run around. Is there a more direct way? I tried creating an Admin Menu item, but not sure what the class is and I'm getting Controller not found...

Hi Zen This works, thank you. Although with the caveat that it's a temporary, Naria specific issue as you mentioned. Hopefully it get's sorted in future release. Thanks again.

Hi Using 30Bz 1.1.0 Naria theme: On a Blog Post: It seems that the images for related products are not being displayed... I see this has been asked here as well - any solution? https://forum.thirtybees.com/topic/3505-niara-theme-glitches-discussion/?tab=comments#comment-30768 Note: this appears to be working in the Community Default theme though. Screenshot of it not working in Naria:

Thanks, datakick, I appreciate it 🙂 Regarding my other requirements: For "Contact form on Product page" - I've been following Nemo's PS tutorial: "Ajax Contact Form on Contact Page" For the most part, it appears to be working - but further testing is required - it seems I may have to modify the error state in the jQuery, but so far so good. For now it seems like it's working 🙂 https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/564724-creating-an-ajax-contact-form-on-the-product-page/ http://nemops.com/prestashop-ajax-contact-form/#.XYN8VSgzaUl Just a question regarding "Adding a new field to the Contact Form": I've found Nemo's Tutorial, but not sure if it will still work... I will try to implement, but could be a while before I provide feedback... Is there a better or easier way to do this? http://nemops.com/adding-new-fields-to-prestashop-contact-form/#.XYOCMCgzaUk

Ok wow... I've check it out, turns out it's not just a simple "Contact form sending a mail" module. No, it's a fully fledged "Customer Service System" with tickets, 'reply direct from system', messages timeline, and more. Wow... 🤗 Sure, a built-in Captcha system would've been a nice addition (not to mention adding fields from the BO admin - I'm pushing it, I know 😉) + I need to figure out how to leverage this on the product page, but still... Much more than I expected! 30Bz continues to impress! 😀

Awesomeness! Thanks Piet, I appreciate it 😀

Can someone please help with this question?

Thanks for the reply SeaSky. And the form submissions, are they viewable in the BO admin somewhere? Also can you specify or change the to and cc addresses?

Hi I'm learning TB and trying to get more familiar with it. I have a couple of questions regarding the contact form: Are the Contact page form submits saved somewhere and if so, where can I access this? Also where do you set the to and cc addresses?

Great, so what happens now, what is the next step?

For me so far, the "slash" problem has only happened on the Core Updater as well as causing a "minor" js error on the Product Comparison page. Other than that, I haven't encountered any other "slash" related issues on my local development environment running XAMPP on Windowz so far. And I've been testing and playing with 30Bz extensively for a quite some time now. The fix that MusicMaster provided earlier for the Core Updater issue (on the GitUpdater page) worked for me. Incidentally, he also provided a fix for the Product Comparison js error which also worked. I haven't had the need yet to change any PS ROOT DIR or PS CORE DIR stuff so far...

Hi A lot of people use XAMPP on Windows for local development. I've had this issue as well. If you guys can fix this, it would be cool because otherwise more people will encounter this problem going forward.

This has worked for me as well, thanks! When will this be integrated into a new release of TB as I see new users are still experiencing this problem?

Hi I've submitted the Github issue as requested https://github.com/thirtybees/socialsharing/issues/5

I've created a new issue request here https://github.com/thirtybees/thirtybees/issues/1058

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll most certainly checkout PresTools for some of it's features, thanks. However, the built-in 30Bz CSV Import can be used successfully as a maintenance tool and on many other online store platforms using CSV Import for maintenance is the standard. Cool thing with 30Bz, is that the CSV Import tool is actually very effective in this regard and works very well. I have successfully and extensively tested it to update the following: Product name, SKU, SEO (meta title, keywords), Brand / manufacturer, URL rewrite, Image add/replace, Quantity, Stock, Price, Tax Rules, On Sale, Sale from-to, Tags, Accessories and Product Category, etc. That being said, as far as I know, it can't do 'product packs' and setting the product category to 'default category' needs a change to be made as per this posts. All in all, it works well and is sufficient for my purposes regarding catalogue maintenance and update.

Where is the best place to make this suggestion / issue ticket (and where)? What is the best way to go about this?

Understood

I have tested this solution, using the PS 1.7 variant of the code and can confirm that it's working 🙂 Thanks for the assistance, Zen 🙂 The code has the following effect: On CSV Import, the product's category is updated, the product's breadcrumb is updated and the "default category" is updated and reflects in the backend 🙂 How to update: In AdminImportController.php: Find: // Will update default category if there is none set here. Home if no category at all. Change code to: if (isset($product->id_category[0])) { $product->id_category_default = (int)$product->id_category[0]; } else { if (!isset($product->id_category_default) || !$product->id_category_default) { $defaultProductShop = new Shop($product->id_shop_default); $product->id_category_default = Category::getRootCategory(null, Validate::isLoadedObject($defaultProductShop) ? $defaultProductShop : null)->id; } } IMO, I believe this change should be integrated into TB. Similar to what they've done with PS 1.7 on this ticket: https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/issues/10871 https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/pull/10930 I will try to create an issue ticket on this module in TB Github - but I'm not sure if this is the best place to make the suggestion or if others agree?

Actually, TB / PHP noob here 🙂 So, learning. It all looked a bit confusing at first - trying to make sense of the code. I guess I'll get there... So hence this forum posts - to ask super-advanced TB pros for help. Thanks 👍

Thanks for this Zen. I see the PS 1.7 solution will be integrated into PS. https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/pull/10930 The dude there wrote this - it seems compatible and similar to what you wrote - what do you think of his approach to this? Can I use his code or should I use yours? if (isset($product->id_category[0])) { $product->id_category_default = (int)$product->id_category[0]; } else { if (!isset($product->id_category_default) || !$product->id_category_default) { $defaultProductShop = new Shop($product->id_shop_default); $product->id_category_default = Category::getRootCategory(null, Validate::isLoadedObject($defaultProductShop) ? $defaultProductShop : null)->id; } }

In some cases, administrating a large store, you may want to use CSV import to help with bulk updates. I'm sure that I'm not the only one requesting this. And looking at that PS 1.7 Github issue - it's more than just two people interested in this... lol Ideally, I'd like to be able to this on CSV import without having to mess around with SQL queries - as my shop admin users are not very technical in that regard and it's not a good idea to let them play with SQL queries. However, for my purposes, may I ask you to please share the Query that use to update the default categories? And it seems that you've had the need to update the default categories in bulk before so...
