I am trying to create a new tab in the admin area for product details where I can use a custom product relation. I am already using Upsell, Related and Cross-sell but would need an extra relation between products.
Just wondering if anyone else has come against this issue/requirement and can point me in the right direction on creating a new product relation.
Thanks!
For this type of requirements you need to get developed an extension which is generated tab, database table to hold main product and their relation.
Thanks,

There is a good sample in Magento 1 version here. However, in Magento 2, there are some notes if we're trying to follow the logic from this guide:
--Replaced event catalog_product_prepare_save with controller product initialization helper that can be customized via plugins - Magento/Catalog/Model/Product/Initialization/Helper/ProductLinks.php.
--Replaced event catalog_model_product_duplicate with composite Product\Copier model. However, we don't use this event.
--We need to override the \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Link\Proxy - can find it under var/generation.
We can read more here.

In my magento application i want to create a module which is for adding FAQ for a individual product. So while adding the FAQ, in the new tab i want to show the list of all products(like product listing) for which product we want to add FAQ.
So please help me how to customize for getting list of products and display in the new tab?
The question is too broad friend. So don't hope any full solution here. That is because, this question is related to an external extension. But you will get guidance here. Here you may need to do following things.
I think in admin, the extension provides provision to manage each individual faque. What you need to do is, you need to create an extra field that will relate that faq with a product or multiple products.
If you set up this, you need to store this information in database. So for each faq, there may be a product id or multiple product ids related to it
Now you need to create a new block for your extension. This block will filter faqs that related to a particular product.
Next step is add above block in layout. Layout handle you need to use here is catalog_product_view.
Create a new template for your custom block and in that template file, you need to put design codes. You can create this template with the help of current template that this extension uses. That way, you can reduce a lot of time for creating the design.
Hope that helps !
So I am modifying a module and I've successfully queried the product ID. So if I am browsing products and go into the product details page, I can see my product ID using
JRequest::getInt('product_id');
but for some reason I cannot get the category ID. I've tried.
JRequest::getInt('category_id');
and it always comes out to zero no matter what category I go to. Anyone else experience this? I could get it from the nonSEF url but there's gotta be another way. My goal is to basically query the category ID when I am browsing that category or if I am in the product details of a product.
I assume, you're using some OpenCart component for Joomla. In this case, you have to look into controller and model files for OpenCart. It's not THAT easy to get certain values sometimes, because these are 2 different engines.
In short, you may have to use VQMod for OpenCart, add category_id to data array and only then JRequest it. Solely depends on task.
first of all, sorry for my english, but I'll try to explain myself best I can.
My question is little tricky, because I made some important changes in the core code of VirtueMart.
For some reasons, I added an attribute to the Custom Fields, like Price, called Availability.
TIP: The admin site is in Spanish. Disponibilidad = Availability
So, now, when I try to change any value of any created Custom Field, I can't save it. I mean, I can change the value, but when I apply them, It doesn't be saved.
The only field that I can change, is the field I created, the Availability (ironically).
So, my principal question is, how does VirtueMart to pick up the data from the table and sends them to the database?
I work with
Joomla v.2.5.11
VirtueMart 2
Thanks
The workflow is like follows,
When you save the products details on the backend , It calls a function store() on the product.php model. under administrator/components/com_virtuemart/models/. Inside this function an area like follows.
if(!class_exists('VirtueMartModelCustom')) require(JPATH_VM_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'models'.DS.'custom.php');
VirtueMartModelCustom::saveModelCustomfields('product',$data,$product_data->virtuemart_product_id);
It loading the custom model file from the same path and do the task inside saveModelCustomfields()
Hope it helps..
I used MVC before. Now I am a learning HMVC.
I have product, product_category, product_description and product_images tables in my database.
I want to display list of products in my website with basic product information. Clicking on a product will redirect to a different page and will display all the product related information.
What is the best way to achieve this according to HMVC(Modular MVC) pattern?
Should I create different modules for each table like product module, product category module etc..?(In this case I will have one model class in each module/model. I found this idea when searching internet)
Should I create one module called products and put all the files related to this in that module? (In this case I will be having all the product, product_category, product_description product_images model classes under products/models)
Should I follow a completely different implementation from the techniques I've mentioned above? (Please provide specific details to build this module)
(I'm using codeignitor for my development)
Thanks a lot!
Lets simplify the things for you.
If you have category as menu (Same as magento), i will recommend you to create new module for cateogry
Coming back to product, you can manage all things with the 1 product controller.
In category, category will have its own model to interact with database.
In your product model, you can manage all kind of transactions in one model because they are part of product only.
If you want to move bit advance, you can have a sql folder in each module so that you can install the and create tables when you just drop folder to modules. For this you can create a small script where, in regular interval of time, it will check the new modules, and if that script found some new modules, it will install the .sql file in the sql folder, which will update the database schema.
Hope this will help you
there are some default attributes in reviews and rating section, they are Product,Posted By,Summary Rating,Detailed Rating,Status,Nickname,Summary of Review and Review. now i want to add one more attibute named "selected size", how can i finish that ?
Reviews are not EAV entities. So extending this is somewhat easier.
1) You can add a new field in the review_detail table and extend the module to also save this new field. You will not need to do too much work at the module level (mostly the effort is to display this new field in new review form and related views).
2) You can create a new table (don't alter Magento's core db Tables) with a reference to Review (review_id) and your custom field. This also means to extend Review model's and use afterSave, afterLoad functions to save/retrieve your data...
3) Duplicate entire module logic with custom tables (I've seem some more than a few commercial extensions that have this approach to do stuff with reviews, inventory and so on). Not recommended.
you should create a module with a sql upgrade script. it's covered in tutorials by alan storm and in the database section of the videos series provided by magento, available in your account section of their site. these 2 resources both cover the rest of the skills you'll need to finish your work in accordance with magento programming practices.
In Magento 1.x review attributes are managed under >Catalog > Ratings > Manage Ratings.
In Magento 2.x they they are managed under Stores > Atrributes > Ratings.
There you will be able to add, edit or remove review attributes such Price, Quality, Value, etc.
