Please mention your VirtueMart, Joomla and PHP versions when asking a question in this forum

lipes

and how about include a option in the Top buttons at ( index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=product ):
- Publish All Selected Products in the "Featured" items... we could only select "one by one"
- Show/Hide only the Published/Unpublished products in the Products List
VM V. online: J2.5.14 | VM 2.0.20a | SQL 5.1.70 | PHP 5.3.25

Hi Lipes I don't think this topic was created so that users posted "feature requests" but rather as a feature list of VM2. They already have their roadmap and I doubt they listen to other things that bug fixes.

There are many things you, the rest of users or me could post but tbh I preferr them fixing bugs and working in their already planned roadmap.

VM2 is only one year old and although each version gets better, there are many hidden bugs and fixes needed, quite normal considering how young this product is.

You are requesting very specifical needs for your shop (books I guess) is like if we asked them to customize VM to a fruit shop, you will need a developer for all those things, probably most of them already exist as 3rd party plugins etc.

I wanted to say thank you for all of the great information here I will definetly use this on my website.

Request: how about adding a new field in Products Administration, and a dB Column in virtuemart products table, to we could insert the Universal Product Code (UPC) / European Article Number (EAN) / International Standard Book Number (ISBN)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Product_Code
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Article_Number
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isbn

Something like we got the product weight, height, width, etc...

Use customfields for that

We can''t use custom fields for that because when product variates ( eg. color , size ) the UPC variates too.

so f.e. Size L has an upc, size M another UPC

Could you add in next release an upc field for each custom field? I would do that, but I am afraid of overwriting on each update

Thanks

After long discussion with Yannick of Yagendoo, we decided to add a GTIN to the product.

To add to any customfield a SKU and GTIN could make a lot of sense, yes. I am not sure if I can do it correctly for vm2.0, but we think about for vm2.1, then.

Hi,
It will be nice if VM BE product could have a next/ preview navigation.
Utility example:
You use BE product search to find a few products that you want to change something.
Ok, VM finds then and you click on the first one to change it. When done, you save or save and exit. If you chose save and exit, you will have to do search again to find the next ones that here already on the first search list.
If we had a next and preview navigation on the product, you only have to do the search once; after that you make your changes on the first one product and click to save; Navigation to next, do the changes and save;...so on!
Hope see this feature on the next(s) release(s)
J 4.4.4; VM 4.2.6; PHP 8.3.6

Yepp, is planned for vm3, maybe not for the first release.

Hi,

I see a delivery date field in virtuemart but it is not used. Asking a delivery date when submitting an order would be logical en almost a must have these days.
There is a plugin from CMS mart but that does not work flawless because they have to use javasctipt to insert the delivery date in the comments field in the cart.
Result: Somtimes no delivery date. Even if it is required (again, a javascript that has to do foe).

In the simpel form (v1):
Field that asks a delivery date with a jquery calendar.
Shop owner can block dates.
Dhop owener can make delivery date field required.
Look and feel like payment and shipping plugin.

The CMS mart solution is a plugin with a lot of workaround. You could contact them to see what they need to make their plugin perfect.

 it here, and I welcome a pointer in the right direction.  But one problem I had with Virtuemart was selling products of different sizes and weights.  The original only allowed for shipping by weight, but an extremely light but large good would still cost more money as it would require a van not a moped.

Will any solution to that problem be forthcoming?
Will there be an easy upload potential?  My clients often already run shops and want to go online, but have a lot of products and uploading one at a time is quite time consuming.

Thanks for all your hard work I can't wait!

QuoteThe original only allowed for shipping by weight, but an extremely light but large good would still cost more money

Having built quite a few shipping plugins I know that this is a complex problem.. there are many different approaches to this especially when you start having a mixed cart

It is straight forward to calc. the volume and compare weight to volume and pick the appropriate price based on a factor

but what factor? longest length?  volume? price per cubic something times a weight factor?
This sort of calc. is normally done with a plugin that fetches prices from e.g. AusPost, TNT , Fedex by sending weight and dimensions etc
to do a manual one you need to know exactly what your requirements are

How for example do u handle mixed carts.. a large light box and a small one.. then add 2 small heavy ones and a long tube..  nightmare...

products can be  loaded with csvimproved or  Studio 42 have one  http://shop.st42.fr/en/products/vm-be-pro-batch-product-edit.htm
