Updates 2011

Store Commander - 2011 updates history

 

2011-12-21

 - Added "Price incl. tax and ecotax" field in CSV import to subtract the ecotax from the imported price.
- Added "id_category" field enabling products to be placed in categories identified by their id
- New Beta version tool allowing the copying/pasting of combination between products. Warning: Check the resulting product, in particular the price and references. The prices are re-calculated to take the attributes into account. The references are the same as the original references, which means they will appear twice if you don’t change them manually. A new "Combinations" column is displayed at the end of the table in "References" view containing "combinations_xxx" that you can copy/paste between products by right-clicking. All elements of the attributes are copied. Image links are not retrieved. Compatible with all Prestashop versions. This tool is offered in its BETA version; we await your feedback before finalizing. The "Combinations" column will be moved to a new table to make access easier.
