Add To List is Working only for Virtual

[arpit singh pandya]

Hello All,

In Product Detail page while adding product to the shopping/wish list,
it will only take Virtual Product in the shopping/wish list, although we
can select the variant for that product. I refer to product as Large
Widgets (WG-9944)
is it the proper functionality of wish/shopping list. ?

Please let me know I am wrong about this.

Thanks & Regards

Actually it works (you get the right price in the shopping list). This is due to how feature explosion works. Look for instance at
WG-9943 : you can select the variants and have them clearly in the shopping list.
Please look for explanations about feature explosion mechanism.

Hello Jacques, All ,
Thanks for your Suggestion. I just go through explanations of feature
explosion mechanism. its really very helpful to me.

as we see shopping list behavior  from two different page
1 from product detail page
2 from show cart page (after add to cart).

But I am still confused about the different behavior of wish list from
different page, but IMO it should work same from both place then it will
be more significant. Here is the steps that i follow

1. Login with admin and ofbiz
2. Product detail page select all the feature for the product *WG-9943*  
color:- Black ,  Size : - 4 Wheel
3 and then click to "*Add to shopping list *"  ,

then in shopping(wish) list page, it Shows the Virtual Product WG-9943
with out feature which I selected from product detail page,
where IMO it should show  *WG-9943-B4*

Wish List also shows the link in the last column with the drop down
which contains all variants of that product (as they are available as
Finished Goods in data base ). and we can *Replace with available  
variant.*

Then some doubts as
1.What about that option which I selected from Product Detail Page ?
2.why i will again select the variant which I already selected in
previous page before clicking on "Add To Shopping List". ?

OK it is the case for the Variants Explosion Mechanism. As variants are
available in data base


But in case of Feature Explosion Mechanism as we know that it will create

1. From product detail page select feature for the product *WG-9944*
*color : - black . Size  :- 4 Wheel*
2. click on the "Add To Shopping list"

then in shopping(wish) list page we again get the Virtual Product
*WG-9944*  in the list,
and as there is no Variant available  in Data  Base, so in list there is
no variant available (because that variant is created dynamically) , and
then when we click on "Add to Cart" button from shopping list page

and will again send us to product detail page with the message : -
"*Choose Variation Before Adding to Cart.*"

but now as the purpose of wish list i can understand that the, one can
save the list of product what he wants/ likes to buy in the near future,

and if that shopping list not contain the product with the selected
features which was already saved.
It is the current scenario of wish list.


There is one more case where it works fine

for that i followed these steps
          - > Login with admin and ofbiz
          - > Select Features for the product *(WG-9944 / WG-9943)*
          - > click on "Add to Cart" button
          - > then go to "view cart / Show cart" page
          - > select the "check box" for the product
          - > click on "Add to Shopping List"

then go to shopping list page , there we can see it is showing the
proper variants for the product.



Thanks & Regards

Arpit,

This is a great write-up with lots of detail about your question and  
issue.

I'm not sure what a good answer is, other than: what you are looking  
for is different than what is currently implemented so some changes  
are needed to make it work that way.

Is that the sort of feedback you were looking for? If not, please feel  
free to follow-up with additional questions.

-David

Thanks for the reply David,

Here main problem is that how can we add a configurable product in
Shopping List from Product detail page cause configurable product is
created when we submit the order.

I am trying to do it with feature tree generation technique.

Kind Regards,

Hello David,

Thanks for the Reply.

I was looking for that too, but this answer is a part of what i am
expecting. because I am thinking of a product which is a little bit
different from traditional product which we are using in e-commerce (i
think so, but may be i am wrong to).

the product is such as :-* configure product, associate with virtual
product having some optional feature and also follow the
                                         
virtualVariantMethodEnum="VV_FEATURETREE".*

is this scenario present in OOTB, for such kind of product (i am not
able to find) or any body is working on it.

Please let me know, if i am thinking wrong or going in wrong direction,
is this possible in ofbiz or not.

and the main problem is same as explained by Vivek.

Thanks & Regards

[David E Jones-3]

I don't think there is any magic answer to this, and the only real way  
to find out exactly what is done is to look at the code that handles  
adding a configurable product to a shopping list.

I have not done so, but based on my random memories of the history of  
this, it may be that this is not implemented though I thought it was  
(for normal configurable products at least... for the variant feature  
tree stuff that would fall on whoever implemented it).

If you think this is a bug, or it is functionality you would expect to  
be there based on things you can do in the UI, the best way to  
communicate about this is in terms of:

1. what did you do (in details, with links, values in form fields, etc)
2. what did you expect to happen
3. what actually happened

Based on that other people can try it and more easily give feedback  
and/or isolate the problem.

As I remember,

If virtual product has configurable goods, you must assign same configurable
goods to Variants also. Then only they will be displayed on shopping cart
otherwise, they won't display in shopping cart. The implementation is like
that for configurable Product page.


For ex:

virtual Product is :WG-1986, You assign configurables A, B to this product.

and variants are WG-1986-BLACK, WG-1986-GREEN, WG-1986-WHITE

In product page all variants and configurable goods will be visible because
you are opened virtual product page.

now, you selected  WG-1986-BLACK,config products A and B(remember these 2
products are associated to virtual product WG-1986 *not to WG-1986-BLACK*)
and entered into shopping cart.

Nos, in shopping cart, the available productId is WG-1986-BLACK. for this
product, there is no configurable goods. So, they won't show up.

To fix this, you need to associate config goods to each and every variant.

I hope you got my point.
