Force and display product characteristics

Hi,

At this moment you can use a product template.
So when the vendor will create a new product, the product template will be use and the vendor will have a pre-fill product.
A product template can have pre-set characteristics, like it can have pre-set prices.

Regarding your global request (with your other HikaMarket question about the images and the prices) ; a custom plugin could be useful if you want to perform some restrictions.
Using the trigger "onBeforeProductCreate", you can be sure that the product is compatible with your restrictions and requirements ; you can abort the product creation (and display a message) ; The vendor will see the product page with the data he submitted but with the error message explaining him why he can't create that specific product.

Hi,

I know that I tested a product template with characteristics but I never test a product template with variants and the current HikaMarket algorithm won't manage it ; like the HikaShop product edition interface.
But even if the product edition could manage it ; when you want to create a product, the product is not really created ; you have to save it to store the data in the database.

If the product template have variants, it means that when you want to create a new product, the variants has to be created in the database before their parent ; which is not possible because the parent is not yet created, it does not have any ID, any code (SKU).

So with the product template you can propose a product with pre-set characteristics and the vendor will have to create the variants once the new product is saved.
Otherwise, the creation process should create directly the main product and the variants in the database ; but it will require a product code (which should be unique in the database and not empty)

Hi,

Hi,

Like I wrote in my previous message

Hi,

Okay ! Now I see.

There is still a display issue in HikaMarket 1.6.4 but it will be fix in HikaMarket 1.6.5
For the moment I'm still working on two tasks for the next release but the management of the characteristics with product template (and "waiting approval") is already done.

Hi,

I don't understand what you're talking about or the link with the current discussion.

Hi,

I still don't see the link with the current conversation and I can't reproduce your issue (I created dozen of variants today during my tests).

If you have an issue with HIkaMarket, please open a new thread but before that, please be sure that the issue is not already fix. You can use the demo website in order to perform tests with the latest version of our components.
