No automatic variants?

Hi,

I have used the characteristics to make variants of my products. First when I added a new characteristic to a product, the variants were created automatically (like "productA_1, productA_2 ...).
But when I now create new characteristics and add them to a product, that automatic creation of the variants does not work any more! When I click on "manage variants", I only see one variant for that product in the variants screen named "productA_" and without having a characteristic added.

How can it be solved to recreate that "automatic variants process"?

OMG, I tried only to delete the characteristic and then added a new characteristic to the product. But I forgot to delete the automatically created wrong variant itself!

Thank you Nicolas for your advise, that helped perfectly.

Hi Nicolas,

I still think that there is some trouble with that process.
The creation of the automatic variants according to your advice ("delete all the variants of your product first. Then, go back to the product, delete the characteristics and save the product. Then, add the characteristics again and save the product") only works sometimes. I have to try it several times to have the variants created correctly.

I recognized that every time I save a product and change something in the characteristics or variants, an error is displayed:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in *************/www_root/administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/product.php on line 436

As mentioned above, most times there is only one variant created like "ProductA_" without characteristic value.
Maybe this error has something to do with the process only working sporadically?

Thanks

Hi Nicolas,

with that new version the error diappeared and the automatic variant creation now seems to work 100%.

Great job!
