Is it possible to compare simple products that belong to a grouped/configurable product?
We are using configurables/grouped products in Magento2
The associated simple products are set „not visible individually“ in the Backend (Visibility-Attribute).
We need to be able to use the compare funktion for the associated simple products without changing the visibility for those.
Thanks for your help!

I have two collections
Customers
Products
I have a field called "orders" in each of my customer document and what this "orders" field does is that it stores a reference to the product Id which was ordered by a customer, now my question is since I'm referencing product Id and if I update the "title" of that product then it will also update in the customer's order history since I can't embed each order information since a customer may order thousands of products and it can hit 16mb mark in no time so what's the fix for this. Thanks.
Create an Orders Collection
Store ID of the user who made the order
Store ID of the product bought
I understand you are looking up the value of the product from the customer entity. You will always get the latest price if you are not storing the order/price historical transactions. Because your data model is designed this way to retrieve the latest price information.
My suggestion.
Orders place with product and price always need to be stored in history entity or like order lines and not allow any process to change it so that when you look up products that customers brought you can always get the historical price and price change of the product should not affect the previous order. Two options.
Store the order history in the current collection customers (or top say 50 order lines if you don't need all of history(write additional logic to handle this)
if "option1" is not feasible due to large no. of orders think of creating an order lines transaction table and refer order line for the product brought via DBref or lookup command.
Note: it would have helped if you have given no. of transactions in each collection currently and its expected rate of growth of documents in the collection QoQ.
You have orders and products. Orders are referencing products. Your problem is that the products get updated and now your orders reference the new product. The easiest way to combat this issue is to store full data in each order. Store all the key product-related information.
The advantage is that this kind of solution is extremely easy to visualize and implement. The disadvantage is that you have a lot of repetitive data since most of your products probably don't get updated.
If you store a product update history based on timestamps, then you could solve your problem. Products are identified now by 3 fields. The product ID, active start date and active end date. Or you could configure products in this way: product ID = product ID + "Version X" and store this version against each order.
If you use dates, then you will query for the product and find the product version that was active during the time period that the order occurred. If you use versions against the product, then you will simply query the database for the particular version of the product itself. I haven't used mongoDb so I'm not sure how you would achieve this in mongoDb exactly. Naively however, you can modify the product ID to include the version as well using # as a delimiter possibly.
The advantage of this solution is that you don't store too much of extra data. Considering that products won't be updated too often, I feel like this is the ideal solution to your problem
I created an attribute set and attribute groups with attributes in it. In the admin panel the attributes are listed in groups, like i created them. But on the front productpage all the attributes are listed together, without displaying the attribute group name first.
I would like to display the Attribute Group Name on the product page (more information tab), before the attributes in this group. How do i do that?
There is no way to do this by default in Magento 2.
There are a few ways I can think of to acheive this. Perhaps best would be to extend the getAdditionalData() method in /Block/Product/View/Attributes.php so that it adds the attribute group name (or id) to the returned array.
You would then need to create a local copy of Magento_Catalog/templates/product/view/attributes.phtml and iterate the array returned by the modified getAdditionalData() method sorting it according to the group name and then output the data with group name headings.
I'd be interested to hear of other or best practice approaches to this type of relatively simple extended functionality in Magento 2.
I have a content type buildings and one called rooms. There are multiple rooms per building. I have a form for room and I want to have a list the user can choose from that is a list of the buildings, that is generated from the list of buildings.
How?
The only type of list I see is tags and I want this automated, not manually add to the list or tags.
Thanks in advance.
If you already have two content type, Building and Room.
You can download a module "EntityReference", then add an entity reference field to Building, ex. field_building_rooms, where you can select room as content type for the widget. Since the field allow you to add single or multiple value, you can have as many as rooms for one building.
This way, when you try to add a new Building, it'll allow you to choose single/multiple rooms to it as well.
I need to do the stock management website with 2 Content type Supplier and Product. First I add contents in Supplier content type. Then I add node reference field in Product content type and call it supplier and make it multiple value. it's looks good, i can select suppliers and save it. but in my concept i need to check which supplier sale this product and how price. so i need to add suppliers and price in the same form like my image.
the propose of this form, user can check how price of each supplier for this product and they can choose the lowest price for purchase in the next process.
Guys, did you have the idea that i can do like this ?
Based on your image attached, I'd assume you have Druapl 7.
You can do this by installing Field Collection module. To get the table-input, install Field Collection Table.
Core Fields can have multiple instances of the same field. But you can't group them and make the whole group a multi-instance group.
Drupal 6 required CCK module to have fields, and there was a MultiGroup module (CCK 3branch which never had a stable release) that does the similar for Drupal 6.
Although OP will not need this, dear Googler if you are looking for a simple table with text fields, try TableField module
A client has asked if they can prioritise a certain product in their online catalogue so that it appears as the second product rather than the sixth or so. Is this possible?
This is all I can find in the help section, which points to a no answer.
Customizing how sub-catalogs list appears
{tag_cataloguelist,rowLength,targetFrame,notUsed,sortType,hideEmptyMessage,list/table}
rowLength Number of catalogs per
row targetFrame e.g. _blank.
Specify the frame you want the product
to open in resultsPerPage
Number of catalogs you wish to display
before the page paginates
notUsed this field is not currently
used. Leave empty. sortType
- Alphabetical
- Weight (Defaut) hideEmptyMessage if a catalog does not
have any sub-catalogs you will see a
message This catalog has no
sub-catalogs. You can hide it by
setting it to true.
Hopefully I'm just missing a really obvious control in the BC interface somewhere.
So that help documentation you've pulled up is regarding catalogs. If you want the catalogs to appear in a different order, use the "Weight" sortType in your tag_cataloguelist and assign weights to your catalogs when setting them up.
For individual products in the list view, assign a weight to each product under eCommerce > Products in the detailed product settings. You can also assign weights in bulk by downloading the entire product list then reimporting the product database.
