Product title in wrong language inherited by multi variant child

[bortolani]

Hi, I think I found a bug concerning multi-variants, multi languages:

when you create a multi variant child and you have a multi language site all attributes of the child product (like description, etc.) are
correctly inherited with the exception of the product name that is always set to the default language.

Example:
Parent product
Product name:   House (english)  --  Maison (french)
Product description: Small House (english) -- Petit Maison (french)

Then you create a variant:
Child product
Product name:   House (english)  --  House (french)
Product description: Small House (english) -- Petit Maison (french)

VirtueMart 3.0.12 - Joomla! 3.6.2

Anyone noticed that before?

You should not use VM3.0.12 with Joomla3.5.2 - you should use at least VM3.0.16 or checkout will not work correctly. VM3.0.18 will be released very soon.   http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files

You issue may already have been corrected

Hi Jenkinhill,
I made a lot of modifications to VM core files and DB tables and I have to test VM upgrades a lot before moving to the latest versions.
Anyway the checkout works beautifully without any problem with my configuration.

I think that the problem I mentioned abot multivariant product names is still present in the latest VM releases.
It's not a big issue, you just have to do a search & replace using phpmyadmin to correct product name translations, but still it something worth fixing.

Best,
Bruno

If you want to continue using VirtueMart 3.0.12 then you can not use Joomla! 3.6.2. You should go back to Joomla! 3.5.

Checkout will work if it does not fire the email function. Basically the email functions will not work correctly. Moreover it is not compatible to PHP 7.

Hi,
I repost this bug as it has not been corrected in the last version (VM 3.0.17.6)

Context: multi-variants, multi language

When you create a child in multi language site the child product name is always set to the default language for all languages.
In other words instead of inheriting the translated product name, the field is always filled with parent product name default language content.
All other translated fields, like description, are inherited correctly.

This means you have to edit each variant again (and in some cases you have hundreds of them!)

Example - default language English, translation French:

Parent product
Product name:   House (english)  --  Maison (french)
Product description: Small House (english) -- Petit Maison (french)

When you create a variant, the child product shows these values:
Product name:   House (english)  --  House (french)   <---- WRONG!
Product description: Small House (english) -- Petit Maison (french)

VirtueMart 3.0.17 - Joomla! 3.6.2
