Characteristics with Dynamic Variants

Hi,

I am interested in creating a characteristic called "Batch". This batch needs to be used as an internal separator for the products of the same type.

---

Example:
Product: "Nike Shoes - Model 1"
Total Stock: 100
Batch Stock
00100 30
00110 40
11001 30

---

As you can understand the batch numbers are specific per product therefore we cannot pre-create them on the characteristic.

Can you advice if this can be somehow implemented in Hikashop

Thanks

Hi Nikolas,

I am not sure I understand the solution.
I have checked the tables in the database and they are as below:

"hikashop_characteristic"

---

characteristic_id characteristic_parent_id characteristic_value


"hikashop_variant"

---

variant_characteristic_id variant_product_id ordering

As I can understand from above structure of the tables, we cannot keep value at the variant level. It only keeps the relation of the characteristics and the products. Can you explain where I can keep the variant name

Thanks

Hi Nikolas,

I have created the below configuration in hikashop.
1. Create Characteristic "Batch No"
2. Characteristic "Batch No" has values : "Batch 1", "Batch 2", "Batch 3", "Batch 4", "Batch 5" (as the most batches a product can has is five)

I want to achieve the below:
1. Display "Batch No" characteristic (with the stock number) only to "Wholesalers group". We have already implemented this for the regular stock of a product by adding the code in front\views\product\tmpl\quantity.php line 56:
if(hikashop_isAllowed('<group id>')) {
.....
}

Can you advice where the variants are displayed so we can add the same code as well

2. In the product detail page I would like to display the variant code instead of the variant value from the characteristic. Can you advice how this can be implemented

Thanks

Hi,

Point 1 from previous post is already enforced by previous solution for the general stock. We only need to enforce access on the specific group on each variant for each product.

Can you provide a solution for the second point

Thanks
