I currently have a few products that are "not visible" on the storefront. I don't want the products to be showcased (appear on the landing page or in the "see all products" page, but I would like to have it be visible when users try to access it directly, for example if a friend shares a link of that product.
But currently when I try to share the link to a product that is "not visible" to my friend, he gets a 404 page not found error, I would like for him to see the product, even though it is not publicly visible, any idea how I achieve this?
When a product is set to be not visible, it will not show for anyone (except for those logged in to the admin panel) on the front end. You can try appending the query string "?showHidden=true" to the end of the URL you are sending your friends. This may allow them to view the product.
Otherwise, you would need to make the product visible and write some custom code to hide it from the general users, or use customer group visibility settings.
Edit to describe the process of using customer groups:
The simplest approach here might be the following:
Have your friend create a customer account on your store.
Assign them to a new customer group (see documentation here).
Add your hidden product to a new category.
Make sure the custom customer group has visibility to all categories, while the default customer group has access to select categories (check all except the new category with the hidden product)
As long as your friend is logged in to their customer account, they should be able to see the product, while your normal shoppers cannot! The one major downside to this is if you make any new categories, they will not automatically be visible to your default customer group, and you will have to manually add the visibility.

I am trying to add a small 'lockup' / promo to a page that loads information dynamically based on page.metafield information. Replacing images, video ID's etc. Which all works just fine.
My client is asking for a small area to display a product that relates to this dynamically changing content and I am struggling to come up with a good way to do this.
The current setup is that we have 30 pages with a set of 8 metafields each page. Each one of these pages must show a different , single product with an image, title, price, buy button and another button that links out to a partner site.
I can create snippet and load almost all of this info through metafields manually (price, title etc the client could just add to another metafield) but I would prefer to load a product to pull this info so it can be added to cart. Although I can add product data manually, I still don't actually know which product will get added to the cart, because I'm on a 'page' not a 'product'.
The products themselves are using a custom template that is different to the rest of the site so that seems like its not an option. The template for this content page is just 'page' but surely I can call the product object someway? If the client entered a product ID in the metafields, is there a way of pulling that IDs data easily?
Whatever you mean by pulling ID's, but there are a couple of ways of dealing with this. One, you have a Storefront API token, allowing you to freely and securely call Shopify with JS and get back all the data about the ID you're interested in. Or, you have an App installed in the store, in which case you can setup and callback an App Proxy, providing that ID, and getting back all the info you need. Lots of options!
I've created configurable product (internet connection with different speed) following docs, in storefront I see dropdown with product vairants, all is ok.
But in backoffice (when editing shoppingList or creating order) there is always only one variant of product with no ability to quickly select another option (eg change speed to another one) - is this how oro backoffice works and nothing could be changed to make backoffice user quickly navigate between product variants (eg change speed from 1M to 2M by clients phone request)?
Cant even edit product in shopping list
UPD:
If there's no way to see user-friendly configurable product in backoffice than I need to implement smth like button near each product in LineItem which will show popup with product variants. When user will select another option request will be sent to some route and it will run smth like $lineItem->setProduct($newProduct); , grid reloaded and new product variant selected. Is it ok or it will break something in oro?
Where to start for adding that button and popup? Eg I cant edit oro shopping list template, how to properly extend it?
On the line item editing form you cannot change the product, no matter it's configurable or simple. It's done intentionally.
If you want to change the product, you always can remove a line item and add the new one with updated options manually:
In my Prestashop web there are 3 types of products (In stock, On demand and Coming soon). When a user clicks on Add to cart button in product page, it should shows an alert saying the products cannot be mixed (you cannot buy a product in stock and a product on demand). I use BlockCart module but I cant find the file which I have to edit. Also, I have looked in CartController or ProductController but nothing.
Can you help me?
You Can check in controllers/front/CartController.php for processChangeProductInCart Function.
I am developing an e-commerce application using broad-leaf commerce.
My requirement is I have to add an product from login panel and display that product to only logged in users. Here few product products will be visible to all users (guest too) and few will be visible to only logged in users.
is there any way to do this?
Thanx soulfly1983 fou your try,but I found another alternative to do this without any customization. here is the full procedure..
Add a new category from admin panel.
Add a new page from admin panel (under content tab) and note the URL should be the same of category and page.
3 In the page click on rule tab.
4 Check the yes button in "Restrict to certain customers?"
Click +rule button and the select "match all" and select customer registered is equal to false
So this page will be visible to only guest users.
In the HTML body section of the rule (in general tab) write a message "you need to log in to view this stuff"
When user will log in successfully the user will not be able to the page , because we applied a rule that only logged out users can see the page so this time user will see the category and products added to that category.
am I doing right? any regarding this suggestion?
You can either extend the Product entity and add a field that will indicate whether that product will be visible to all users, or alternatively you could simply add an attribute for each product via the admin interface. Either way you will need to modify the UI logic so that it will take this additional field (or attribute) into consideration.
I'm using PrestaShop 1.5.5.0.
I want to add a custom check box list to the product page so a customer can choose shipping carrier on the product details page. Can it be possible ? I can add a specific fields in the product details page. As I'm new it's little difficult for me to figure out how can I add other details and carry the values to the order page and that is also dynamically. Is there any module available by which I can accomplish the task ? Please suggest me.
What I want to do is this : Choosing shipping carrier in product page :

Well It's a tough task. You need to work on the controller if you want to carry the values or create a module like shipping estimate and hook it to the product page that might work.
