M2 Create configurable product and assign to category but not display product on frontend - magento2

Links can have a title attribute, which will show up on hover. Title attributes can also be added; they are helpful if the link itself is not descriptive enough to tell users where they're going.

First of all go to catalog -> category and make sure that your category is enabled and display mode is set to products only or static block and products
If these are enabled then please check that the category in which your product is assigned must be assigned in Default Category

Is there a way to display the Product Title before the Brand Name in Facebook Page Shop?

I exported all the tags required by Facebook from my third-party online store (Lightspeed) and the data stream works as expected in terms of automatic updates, but products on my facebook page shop (Shop tab) are displayed with the brand name first — L'Oratoire Saint-Joseph — followed by the product title.
See it live : https://www.facebook.com/osaintjoseph/
The unfortunate result is that the text under many products is exactly the same. Is there a way to display the Product Title before the Brand Name?
Lightspeed support told me I had to take it up with Facebook. I am awaiting their reply. See my questions in the fb developer forum here : https://developers.facebook.com/settings/developer/community/
There are 3 ways to add products to Facebook Shop:
Manually
Data feed (e.g. CSV import)
Third party plugins (which you’re using).
Manually – the user is only able to enter 4 properties; title, description, image & variant. See facebook.com/business/help/293945421560847. There is no concept of product brand.
Data feed – this allows for additional properties, such as brand name. In the table, see example files and select product (csv, tsv or xml) facebook.com/business/help/120325381656392?id=725943027795860. However it looks like all Facebook does is concatenate string, that's the product title becomes "{brandName} – {productName}". It look like brand name is not used anywhere else. Nor is there an option to change the way it's displayed. If you edit the product, you should be able to see this in the Product Title.
Shop tab (third party plugin) – (May be it's me, but I found their documentation hard to follow) – They send an XML feed to Facebook support.shoptab.net/hc/en-us/articles/200583466-XML-Feed-for-Facebook-Storefront-with-ShopTab. They do not appear to have a concept of brand. Try and examine the data. I would expect the brand name to appear in the product title. Alternatively they allow for CSV, which also doesn't contain brand name support.shoptab.net/hc/en-us/articles/200583906-CCNow-Integration-with-ShopTab-s-Facebook-Store-App
Summary
If possible, examine the data that is sent from Shop tab to Facebook.
Try and find out if you’re able to exclude / alter the string concatenation of brand name from product title in Shop tab. If not raise a support ticket with them.
Alternatively see if you can manually edit the product title in Facebook. It’s not a long-term fix, but helps understand how the system are integrated.

Product Listing by SKU in magento 2

I would like my store products to be displayed in SKU (ascending) order by default when looking at the category product listing pages in magento 2. Can someone please tell me how to:
Make this the default sort option.
Add SKU as a user selectable option on the product listing pages.
Can anyone help please?
In Magento 2, I hope this works because it is really easy and you don't have to touch any code:
In the admin panel, go to
Store > Under Attributes > Product
Find the attribute code sku
In it, under StoreFront Properties, change the "Use for Sorting in
Product Listing" to "Yes" and save
Go to Stores > Configuration and click on the Catalog section under
catalog tab
Under StoreFront, change the "Product Listing Sort by" to "SKU" and
save
You can also change the default product listing for each category in Catalog > Categories under the Display Settings tab of your selected category.
I hope this will help

How to redirect a associated product to its configurable product

I am using Magento 1.9.2.1 and I am using the native swatches option. I am trying to only show the associated products on the catalog page and not the configurable product. But I am hoping that by clicking on any of the associated products, it would take the customer to the configurable product.
So lets say that I am selling a cap that has a red and brown option. I want the catalog to show the red simple product and the brown simple product. But when the customer clicks on either of the simple products, it will take them to the configurable product and they can select a color there instead.
Is there a easy way to do this?
I just found an extension that works
https://github.com/Mestrona/Mestrona_ForwardToConfigurable
I'm using JRD Redirect Simple to Parent for exactly this. I tried Mestrona as well, but it sets the URL to that of the simple product, which is a problem for bookmarking and the like when the user then changes up the configuration. JRD sets the URL to that of the parent and my plan is to then add a query string so that if the URL is bookmarked, I can route it to the same configured product.

how to set sort order in the category browsing page of admin?

By default when we want to set the sort order of a product, we go the product details page and then set the sort order.
But I want to set the sort order of a product on the categories page where all the products are listing on the admin side.
Is there any option for this or a module to solve my problem.
Thanks in advance.
If you look at the upper right hand side of the page admin->categories->categories/products, there's a dropdown with the label "Categories/Product Display Order."

How to add new fields in cart of VirtueMart (Joomla!)

I am working on joomla and using joomla VirtueMart component.I created new fields in product detail page like color and size (drop down), Now I want to add that POST value (ex. $_POST["cmbColor"]) in shopping cart process and finally to be saved in database of VirtueMart.Please help me how to add these fields in cart.
Did you use the attribute system to add the optional color and size? Using either child products or attributes will get the options to show in the cart and saved on a sale. The VM documentation is pretty good on this topic, you can find how to use attributes here -
