Hi,

You can export/import your products and in between use excel to increase the quantity of all the products by a fixed value.
You can also use a mass action to do that (menu System>Mass actions) with an action "update the values" on "product_quantity with a value "product.product_quantity+4"

mass action need
using HKS joomla BE doc
create a php plugin if the default plugin don't cover your need doc

mass action is a kind of script for automate repetitive task ( cron ) that can modify import export data .

E) if i create product by setting only name value to voiture1 , field code ll be populate with name value voiture1.

Hi,

a. Product type is from the product_type column of the database (variant or main). It's different from the product type option of the product regarding the shipping.

b. Yes, but you need to select "operation" not "int" since it's an operation that you write in the field after it, not an integer.

c. No, you can't do that.

d. Your screen resolution/window width is too small and the system automatically hides the column of the id so that it can display properly. Increase it and you'll see it.

e. The product code is usually used as the SKU. The unique code for the item. It's your internal (internal to your company) code for each product, while the product id is the automatically incremented number that HikaShop uses in the database to reference each product for itself.

Hi

about d) item yes i can see the id so i can confirm the gui BE of Jooomla is the worst i see . How we you can guess there is hidden column if we don't invcrease the width of the browser or reduce the zoom ..... no information alert us ? in france there is a specialisation or a term call IHM "interface homme machine" . It 's like order column in joomla for item plugin how can we guess you can click on the label of the column call "order "t o make appear a icon for save and another icon for order refer to number value field cell !!! compile and script all is about order until you use many processor / GPU or thread API !!! don't follow order ll create issue in javascript in CSS in joomla ( plugin module order ) . This post is not against HKS team but a message for joomla user using the BE GUI ... i really hope the BE using Bootstrap ll render "table" ( real table in html not CSS3 table) better than the default joomla UI backEnd !! since joomla is free software and i pay nothing , i ask nothing to designer and developper that work for free..... i only alert joomla user to take care of this behaviour ( see the capture csreen before after ). In developpement many things are implicit so be explicit ( also in the documentation ) , joomla gui configuration is only a matter of on/off OR enable /disable but you must know where to find/locate the button /input/Select area !!!

if term can have different meaning localisation , it ll difficult to undertsand thing !!
