Hello,
We badly need variants in fashion categories and try to make them visible for vendors and clients in frontend. We encounter some problems
1 after creating characteristic size (S,M,L,XL,XXL) and adding to a product in backend, variants don´t show as list in manage variants, list is empty.
2 Variants do not show in product nor as tabs in vendor product edit page.
We had Hikashop business and Hikamarket updated to latest versions, see above.
Any idea?
Thomas

Hi,
I´´m talking about backend.
"After creating characteristic size (S,M,L,XL,XXL) and adding to a product in backend, variants don´t show as list in manage variants, list is empty."
In my other Hikashop installations the list of variants are created automatically and I can edit them. Not here. List is empty.
Regards
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
I think that the problem is coming from how you have set the "Generate variants automatically" option through "Hikashop->System->Configuration->Main", can you make sure that it's set to YES and test it again ?
Thanks.

Hello Mohamed,
Yes, right, I only found publish variants, I had overlooked generate variants in advanced settings.

Would you know at what time in the future Variants can be managed from frontend in Hikamarket? I have 2 months time to set up a marketplace which would be entirely useless without variants, because a major part of products will be fashion related.
In case this feature comes late I have to go for another software, which I wouldn´t like at all, waste of time and money, and I really love Hikashop for it´s flexibility.

Hi,

Thanks to see the topics in the HikaMarket part of this forum, I think that a topic is existing about this question.

Hi,

When I try to add a characteristic to a product I get an error when I try to save the product.

The error: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/<sitedir>/public_html/administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/product.php on line 592.

I get this error for each variant that would be created. The frontend also displays an error after this. Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/<sitedir>/public_html/components/com_hikashop/views/product/tmpl/show.php on line 154.

What is causing this?

Hi,

I reported it in another thread too: www.hikashop.com/forum/content-creation/...ic-error.html#159380

We can use that thread to solve the problem.

Regards
