I have started to create my eCommerce website and I have run into a road block. I have used a Shopify tutorial to create extra variants (excluding the variant options built in) to allow extra options (http://wiki.shopify.com/Line_Item_Properties). Shopify calls them line item properties. The problem I am running into is, this line property shows up for every product I add. Each product should have its one class of line properties.
Example:
Collection 'A' comes with choices 1, 2, and 3
Collection 'B' does not come with choices (but line property still shows on page)
Collection 'C' comes with choice 5, 6, and 7
Has anyone modified the products.liquid theme to allow such dynamics?
I have attached an image that represents my question. The image above is correct for the assigned product in the assigned collection. The image below should not have the line properties that are added in the product theme page. Is it possible to apply these line properties per product?
The red circle = error
What you'll need to do is create alternate product templates for the different types of products you want to display. See the section on product template variations in the Line Item Properties article on the Shopify wiki:
It’s unlikely that every product of your shop needs to collect the same data when added to the cart. For this reason Shopify supports template variants. To access this feature, head over to the Template Editor. In the sidebar click “Add a new template”. Select your product.liquid and choose a name such as “monogram”. This adds a second copy of the product.liquid to your store called product.monogram.liquid. In this file you can add the form that you wanted. Once created you can go to your product page and you will see a new option in the sidebar where you can select which template to use for the product you are looking at. This allows you to design a series of forms for various kinds of products and associate them later to the products that need them.

I have made several metafields with the type as product, so I know they work, but in this section they don't show up for this link. I can hardcode the link to a specific product, but I want it to be dynamic using metafields. I'm using the palo alto theme.
and this is the result when I click the dynamic source button:
I'd rather leave any theme customization or coding as a last resort.
A link would take a metafield of type url but you are trying to add a metafield of type product. Type product stores the product object with all its data that's not what you need here if you just need to link to the product page.
Id just set up another metafield of type url and pop the url of the product in there.
I'm not familiar with where you are adding this in the Palo Alto theme but unless this is a section that appears on multiple pages, like product pages or blog pages, where you need to link to a different product on each page you may not need a metafield at all.
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:
I am making custom module where am attaching to customers to products with the help of product grid
See screenshot two tabs
and in select product tab m selecting products
Tab 2
while selecting products I want to add one custom input field on all product where I can enter value and that value will store in my database.
Can anyone help me with this.
Hm. The fastet way is add the new custom attribute to the products and use it. You can add new attribute via Admin Panel or from Namespace/Module/Setup/UpgradeData.php (or install) file in your custom module (which is better in my opinion). Then this attribute will be visible in all products in BE and value'll be available in FE via $product->getData('attr_name').
If you want to show this attribute input only for assigned products (not for all) -> then it is most complex, but usually it's not problem that product has additional input.
I'm trying to customize a product in the CategoryContent panel in BigCommerce. I want to change the markup for each product in the listing, but the markup for the entire product list is trapped in an uneditable blob :%%GLOBAL_CategoryProductListing%% (I'm getting really tired of these unchangable GLOBAL variables).
Is there any way around this so that I can put my own markup on each product in the list. I'm also open, reluctantly, to reconstruct the product list using the API, but I'm not sure how I can access the API from within a BigCommerce store. Is that possible?
I was able to identify Snippets/CategoryProductsItem.html as the file containing the markup for the individual items in a category list.
I hope this saves someone the time it took me to find the file.
The Snippets/CategoryProductsItem.html is the snippet used for grid category files. If you are using the list view, the file is Snippets/CategoryProductsItemList.html.
This file represents each product listing li. It acts as a template which loops through all the %%GLOBAL_CategoryProductListing%% information for this category. To add a feature to the category ProductList li add it to the Snippet, and it will be applied to each item.
Hope this helps.
Line Item Properties (http://wiki.shopify.com/Line_Item_Properties) provides a nice way for merchants to collect extra info for line items. It's possible to edit the cart template and the email templates so that the line item properties show in /cart and order confirmation emails.
My question is - is there any way to access those properties and have them show on the checkout page? The checkout page template is not available for editing. The page becomes confusing for the customer, as properties they've selected on their products no longer show up.
I don't think this is possible. The reason is that you can collect almost anything in line item properties and cart attributes. Since merchants cannot control pages 1 and 2 of checkout, they cannot control any scripting there. Hence it would be up to Shopify to render those. Meaning some shops might be rendering poorly in the checkout, since the code would have to be generic.
For years I have just explained to my clients, the merchants, that since these attributes were clear in the cart prior to checkout, and that since they are included in the emails... it's not a big deal, but you obviously feel differently... Perhaps one day the checkout will render with some scripting added from the merchant, for the display of line items... that would be swell.
