Add more vendors to product

Hi,

You can just assign one vendor per product ; it's a fixed rule.

Regarding the fact that you want also a price per vendor and a quantity per vendor ; I think you want to use variants.
Because a variant is seen as a product for HikaMarket, you can assign one vendor per variant.

HikaMarket also have a special "vendors" characteristic which allow your vendors to extends a product to create their own variant.

Hi,

Thanks for the report.
Due to the inclusion of some "nameboxes" in the HikaMarket interface, some elements changed.
The previous zone selector was using the "zone_id" while HikaShop is always using the "zone_namekey" to define a zone.

So, HikaMarket have to convert the zone_id into a zone_namekey in the backend interface.
In the vendor class (administrator/components/com_hikamarket/classes/vendor.php) you have to add this code

	if(!empty($vendor->vendor_zone_id)) {
		$zoneClass = hikamarket::get('shop.class.zone');
		$zone = $zoneClass->get($vendor->vendor_zone_id);
		$vendor->vendor_zone_id = $zone->zone_id;
	}

	$vendor->vendor_terms = JRequest::getVar('vendor_terms', '', '', 'string', JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW);

	if(!empty($vendor->vendor_zone_id)) {
		$query = 'SELECT zone_namekey FROM ' . hikamarket::table('shop.zone') . ' WHERE zone_id = ' . (int)$vendor->vendor_zone_id;
		$db->setQuery($query);
		$vendor->vendor_zone_namekey = $db->loadResult();
	}

$vendor->vendor_group = implode(',', $vendor_group);

Hi,

Your modifications are good and the value should be not correctly stored in the database.
I just missed the view modification to display the zone namekey instead of the zone id for the namebox.
In the file "administrator/components/com_hikamarket/views/vendormarket/tmpl/form.php" you can replace

echo $this->nameboxType->display(
	'data[vendor][vendor_zone_id]',
	@$this->vendor->vendor_zone_id,
	hikamarketNameboxType::NAMEBOX_SINGLE,
	'zone',
	array(
		'delete' => true,
		'default_text' => '<em>'.JText::_('HIKA_NONE').'</em>'
	)
);

echo $this->nameboxType->display(
	'data[vendor][vendor_zone_id]',
	@$this->vendor->vendor_zone_namekey,
	hikamarketNameboxType::NAMEBOX_SINGLE,
	'zone',
	array(
		'delete' => true,
		'default_text' => '<em>'.JText::_('HIKA_NONE').'</em>'
	)
);

Hi,

The vendor zone id is made to automatically assign a vendor to a product depending the user location.

If for example, you have two entities, one dedicated to the Europe and another to the US.
All of your products won't have any vendor assigned but when the customer will confirm his order, the products will be assign to one of the vendor depending the zone of the customer.
It allows to split the orders by zone.

For the moment, this is the only feature provided by the "vendor zone" setting.

The "vendor characteristic" and creating one variant per vendor ; is more a "sales rep" feature, or something around the multi-seller like you can see in websites like Amazon & Cie.
You have the product listed just once but you can have different vendors which will sell the product with a different price.
Thanks to HikaShop Essential (and Business) you can also have a product custom field so each vendor could say if the product is "new" or "used" (second-hand).

I'm not sure I understood fully your request but it looks like you want some kind of mix of both features ; am I right ?
Does the customer will have a choice to select the vendor his wants or do you have some kind of vendor per zone (where you can't have two vendors in the same area).

Hi,

Do you want the vendor be able to change the price or is it something fixed by you ?

Hi,

So, if I understand it right ; you need the "vendor zone" feature and you also need a feature in HikaShop to handle price per zone.
Thanks to that, you will have automatically the price depending the zone and when the customer will make his order, the assignation of the vendor will be automatic done by HikaMarket.

Vendors won't edit or manage the products, they will just manage their orders.

Hi,

HikaMarket require one user address in order to be able to find the correct vendor for the user zone.
Without an account (and an address), it is possible to use the HikaShop geolocation plugin which can provide a country (but not a state).

The vendor attribution before the user creation is not important if the price is not linked to the vendor but to the product.

For what I understood of your requirements, the "price zone" will be required ; the vendor characteristic with an automatic selection won't help you because even if the selection is working on the product page, you won't be able to see the correct prices int he product listings.

Hi,

The feature is not yet available but is in the HikaShop TODO list.
To add the feature, it require some modifications (logically two) in the currency class ; the other modifications will be in the interfaces in and in the database in order to add the new "zone" field (and column).
Before the namebox system, adding such kind of feature was quite difficult and complex but with the new way to select zones (or product, categories, etc) we can have a clear and simple interface for users.

For more details about the price zone, the best is to create in the HikaShop section of the forum.

Hi,

Because it's related to HikaShop core, like that, I can't.
