[Released][1.5.x] Options Boost!

localseven wrote:I have a similar issue as above.

The extension works great but the way it insists on putting the default image back for options without images is a bit strange. For example if I have a store that sells socks, and the options are color and size - lets say I select the default image for the product as a white sock. So as a customer I come to the page, I select color: red, and the image changes to a red sock, all is good thus far. But for the second option I select size: medium, even though I haven't designated an image for that option it changes the main image back to the white sock. The red color option and medium size option are still selected but the image is the original white sock. I think this would be rather confusing for the customer.

Is there a workaround for this problem?

Thanks.

Why not change the sort order of your options and put the size first, so they choose the size no image change. Then they choose the color and see the color change?

Yeah, but then i have to add the original image to 500 products. That's gonna take a long time. Any tips for that?

Yeh - use RPHs free import/export extension.

Export all the products to excel and then copy the original image file path column and paste a copy to the additional image column, save and import.

Done.

I'll be adding a checkbox to the code to allow enable/disable of using option discounts, also a checkbox to enable/disable reverting to main image if option has no image.

Is there an easy way to modify the Batch Add Options feature so that it will replace any options that may already exist on the targeted products? The feature works great when setting up new products, but it's difficult to make changes afterwards. I know that I can delete all of the existing options on the targeted product list before the options are copied, but I generally have at least one option associated with each product that is unique to that item which I'd like to preserve.

UPDATE v155.9-beta
- Improved code for catalog model function. No longer overwriting the core function. Now using modified native calls which should result in much better compatibility with other mods. No guarantees of course, as some mods are still fundamentally conflicting. But at least now it should no longer be due to my questionable method of overriding the default getProductOptions function.
- Added support for Default Product Options to work with Options Boost

This looks great as I would like to have option model numbers. Does it work with Quickshop? (which I just purchased and which is equally important)
Thanks

2 separate beasts really. But yes, it will maintain and show the option sku in the cart

Great! Thanks for answering so quickly!

I'm not 100% clear, read through the posts and a sku can be added to options. If that sku is tied to an existing product will is deduct the stock levels for that product?

Thanks!

No it is just arbitrary data that gets persisted with the option info throughout the database. It is just text

Thanks for the new update. But am i right that there is no option to show original image after showing a option image?
And is it possible to use a image zoom module with the new module?

You can show the original image if you go back to "please select"
I can see about adding a zoomer in the future, but it doesn't work with cloudzoom.

Ok, thanks for the quick answer. Would love to see a zoomer from you and would be glad to pay for it. Your module is really important in our shop.

Hi there,

I am using Options Boost for OC 1.5.5.1. Thanks for this great component.
Some of the offered options are not always available. Is there a way to have a quantity set to 0 for a given option and therefore show a "Pre Order" button for this option on the product page? Or a warning message at least saying this option is out of stock but can be preordered?

Right now, if set to 0, the option is completely not showing up on the product page.

Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

I think I am stupid.... Just ordered that wonderfull con, works fantastics und looks great but i have one problem.

Having a special product with a discount makes the option discounted, too. Is there any possiblity to disable that the product discount discounts the option?

Hi there

Just wondering whether you know if there is a fix for a strange behaviour I have, indeed whether it is unique to me or the same for all.

I am (now) able to successfully export data from the Misc Info field, including HTML, using JNeuhoffs import/export tool. This data is also successfully re-imported back into the product data using the same tool.

The problem is that the data is not implemented on the product page (client side) until the product is manually opened and resaved on the admin side, despite the data having been successfully imported into the Misc Info field when you open the product as admin. In fact it not only fails to update the data with any changes to the Misc Info made whilst exported but also effectively "deletes" the original data because the data stops showing up on the front side (regardless of whether it has been updated whilst exported) until the product is manually resaved.

Does anyone have any ideas, whether it be a simple way of automatically forcing a re-save of all products or, alternatively, a fix within the extension itself?

Many thanks,

I need this feature too! Very very much!

Qphoria:

I have a site on which I am selling Lingerie. Bras come in different cup sizes and band lengths. I have the following options set up:

Cups: A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, FF, G, GG, H
Bands: 28, 30, 32, 34,36,38,40, 42, 44

So, a customer can choose say a 28-A bra. How can I set this up such that the system creates a new sku using the parent sku (bra) and adds the options sku's (28 A) and removes only the 28A bra from inventory?

Also, how do I handle inventory? I may have 5 28A bras and 12 30C bras. If I set the inventory in the Options, that affects all the products and doesn't really track inventory properly.

Great module thanks.

Is there a way to disable the product altogether if all of the options are out of stock?

Also, when the user clicks an option the main price is not updated (I have the options set to =), do I need your other mod for this or should it update it without?

Thanks!
