Hi,
Im newbie at Hikashop , currently using Business Version.
My shop is about Jewerly ,

1.-The first question: Is there any way to mass assign a specific characteristic to all products within a specific category?
I want to add my already created characteristic "ring size" (5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) to all products within "rings" categories, I have one rings subcategory for silver, one subcategory for gold, etc.
I know you can reach the results by importing CSV file, but its a lot of work to create 8 rows of each ring product to assign them, more if we are talking for about 1500 "rings" products.

2.- Is there any way to automatic add to cart a priced product ($1 - Catalog) when cart reach over $50?

3.- Is there any way to automatic add to cart a downloadable product (Free Catalog) when you add something to cart?

Can you please help me?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

1. Yes, you can set it up like that: take.ms/fZyL0
2. Not by default, but with a plugin this can be possible (plugin to make)

3. Same as the point 2, it will require the creation of a plugin.

Thanks for your prompt answer!!
Since Im not a coder, do you offer such development?
how much?
Thanks In advance, and BR

Hi,

For the custom developments I recommend to post a request in the commercial jobs section of this forum

Thanks for No 1 Solution, but is there any other step I have to do after run it?
I mean... If i take a look inside products from backend, I saw they have the characteristic assigned (which is perfect)
But... At Front end, I can only see the characteristic (Ring Size/Medidas de Anillo) only on the products that I have assign by hand, and not on the once I have assigned by provided mass action (even at same category).

Hand assigned product characteristic : click here

Mass assigned product characteristic: click here

And also is there any way to mass define the "default" characteristic (Ring Size 7) ?

Thanks and BR

Hi,

In the backend, in the product edition page of a product with mass assigned characteristic, do you see the variants created via the button "Manage the variants" ?

Do you have the option "Variant published by default" enabled in Configuration > Main > Product ?

Regarding the default characteristic, it is not yet possible in the mass actions.

Hi,
Yes, At backend, in all mass populated product pages, i can see at characteristics Panel that were added "Medida de Anillo"

While the hand assigned product characteristics, looks like this when click on "Manage Variants" button:

Hi,

Thanks for this report, I corrected the issue on our end and this will be available in the next release.
To correct it now on your end, please edit the file "plugins/hikashop/massaction_product/massaction_product.php" and in the function "onProcessProductMassActionupdateCharacteristics()" add:

				$keys = array();
				$values = array();
				foreach($element->characteristics as $characteristic){
					$keys[] = $characteristic->characteristic_id;
					$values[] = $characteristic;
				}
				$element->characteristics = array_combine($keys,$values);

				$element->characteristics = array_merge($element->characteristics, $characteristics);
				$element->characteristics = array_merge($element->characteristics, $oldCharacteristics);

I will try, and let you know..
But do I have to run the mass action again, right?
Or first run mass action to un-assing characteristics ?

Thanks and BR

Hi,

You will have to un-assign the characteristics first and then process the mass action to add them again.

Perfect.. I will try and let you know...
Thanks for your support!
