HI,

I have read many previous posts regarding this topic, however, I can't get the system to automatically generate the variants.

Even if I create a new product and add a characteristic then save it, it says 0 variants. If I add a characteristic to an existing product and press save, 0 variants are created?

I have Variants default published to 'yes' however, I'm struggling with this one? Any other ideas please?

Many thanks.

Hi,

The automatic creation of the variant has been deactivated in HikaShop 2.5.0 ; when the new product edition has been introduced.
You need to create your variants in the second tab when you're editing a product.
The interface will allow you to create a lot of variants in one single pass.

Hi,

What happens if you have hundreds of possible combinations? It would take a long time to manually create them all, even with the new interface?

Many thanks,

Hi,

You don't need to add the variants one by one.
You just select all the values in each characteristic input after clicking on the "add variants" button and when you validate, it will generate all the combinations automatically.

In the future, we plan on adding some buttons to select all the values of a characteristic in one click in order to make it even faster to do that.

I wonder if a solution is already in place here ?

I have a lot or products that I now need to add varients to.
That means that for each product I have to 7 colors in varient1 and 13 colors in variant2 resulting in 20 clicks per product.
Either I spent my time in doing this manually, or create some sql query that will help me with that, but both will probably take me the same amount of time in this case :\

Another remark... all variants are 'not published'. (simple sql query to fix that, but still....)

Hi,

There is a setting in HikaShop to make the created variants published by default.
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...ig.html#main_product

There is still not the "select all" feature in the namebox because there were some issues and conflicts in the first implementation.
But the keyboard support has been improved ; for exemple you can navigate with the direction keys and use the "enter" key to select the selected item.
You can also press the "ctrl" key and click on tiems ; it will add the item without closing the selection list.
There is also the "backspace" key which allow to remove the last item.

Hi,

That's a bug of the first builds of HikaShop 3.2.1.
Download the install package of the 3.2.1 on our website and install it on yours again and it will add a patch for that.
