Magento 2.x Feature Requests and Improvements

In magento 1 X.commerce produced the following guide http://info2.magento.com/rs/magentosoftware/images/magento-extension-developers-guide-v1.0.pdf   Its approximately 70 pages long.  I found this invaluable in learning how Magento 1 worked.  Put simply it was a short guide that produced an extension from start to finish teaching many basic principals of Magento 1 such as: Code setup and configuration - code structure Design setup - templates and layouts Frontend development - database schema, models, output (blocks), routes, helpers, sample data Backend development - admin configuration, routes, models, output (including grids), helpers, ACLs   I believe where this guide succeeds is that it carries a single example across many topics.  More importantly it has the right level of detail in terms of producing something useful yet not too much to becoming obsolete overnight.  And it focuses on magento in terms of PHP development unlike some of the books I've read through which cover a far wider range of topics and often include a few chapters on installation and setup for example.   I realise that Magento 2 is technologically more advanced and perhaps this is too difficult to achieve. However reading through the developer docs many areas still seem disjointed (and by this i mean a common example which is carried throughout - not simply a collection of snippets of information) and I feel it would be really helpful if an all-in-one guide extension guide was put together not only for me but to help the greater community.   To give you a bit of history I'm a competent Magento 1 developer but I'm finding some Magento 2 concepts difficult to follow.   I'll be honest I've seen https://u.magento.com/training/schedule/ and I believe your pricing will stall the adoption of Magento 2   ...

Hello,           We are stuck in using 3rd part blog modules and or integration of additional CMS such as Wordpress to use as blogging on website. I know allot of big companies have such issues as well and they stuck in using wordpress as blog together with magento 2 which is not good to use 2 different CMS solutions.   It will be best if you integrate internal blog solution that can be simple and easy to use, where we can add blog categories and content post to each category and can have option to add category into top menu to link to blog page.   I hope you will look into that solution to integrate, special in enterprise edition. ...

HTTPS has become quite the standard for the delivery of most content. Without delivering content through HTTPS users will experience "mixed content" browser errors and have content no be loaded correctly because its being blocked by modern web browsers. With that said; isn't it time for the Magento platform to come up with a cache system implementation that supports HTTPS and is recommended for us (Full Page Cache is "not recommended" per Magento documentation)?   Having to need two web servers (Apache + NGINX as a reverse proxy) and configure them to work with an HTTP-only cache system of Varnish is quite complicated and seems to me is overdue for an overhaul / new solution. ...

We are having an issue with how GA 360 is reporting revenue when a line level discount is applied to an order. The example shared in a support ticket shows how a basic Magento store setup is reflecting the problem, so the bug is built in to the out-of-the-box instance of Magento Commerce. In our site's case, we have a more customized Cart setup but the problem is the same. As a result, GA is reflecting all of our Revenue reporting incorrectly.   It doesn't appear that I can attach a file here, so a more detailed explanation is as follows.  When a customer uses a coupon which applies a discount to 1 of say 3 products in their cart, the GA purchase event records the product price to be the original price.  This should be recording the updated, discounted price.  We are able to confirm that this discounted price is available in the "Row Total" Magento field.  So the data is there for the taking.  Our request is that Magento use the Row Total amount in the corresponding GA events for Product Price.   Business Impact: all of our discount revenue tracking on products is wildly different.  This impacts our ability to read the success of campaigns and requires a great deal of manual effort to adjust for the error.  Please correct!!! ...

 Requesting a change to Page Builder text editor element to include the html view button in the TinyMCE toolbar.   In Magento 2.3.3 when I insert the text editor element into a page or block I'm working I only have standard formatting controls (bold, itallic, style, paragraph and etc.   If I need to do any kind of additional editing of content to add div tags to style content via CSS, add Google event tags or adding any html code not availbe in the toolbar I can't. There is no way for me to edit the content's source code.   There is an html element that can be dragged in however you can't flip back and forth from code to WYSIWYG mode to review your changes. This makes it difficult creating content because you're either making only allowed basic formatting or you have to do everything in pure html. No the most user friendly experience for site users. In Magento 1.14.x TinyMCE had a view source button that would allow us to toggle back and forth for ease of editing. I'd like to see this feature restored to core functionality.   I did see a git commit for this exact feature here:  https://github.com/magento-devdocs/pagebuilder-examples/tree/master/Example/PageBuilderExtensionText   I think its critical that content marketers have this feature to allow them to quickly create blog posts, product pages and blocks with ease of use in mind. Coding via pure html is time consuming for non developers. Please consider this feature to implement in the near future. ... View more

Save the list of notifications sent to customers and allow resend the notifications. I have already prepared a sample module and planing to publish it on Magento Marketplace. ... View more

The suggestion here is to create an integration with AWS Code Commit to Adobe Commerce Cloud in such a way we can control our source code in AWS Code Commit and have a continuous integration flow running at Magento Cloud, similar to what happens with GITHub and GITLab. Thanks ... View more

There is no easy way to automatically add a widget to every product within a specific category.   Every time a new product is added, you have to go and edit the widget and add this new product to the list. Which becomes a problem when we are talking about 1000 of products.   The use case for this is a product type where we want a global instruction text for all these products within a specific category.   We do not want to include this text in every single product description, because we want to update it centrally on one location if needed. ...

When selecting options, such as color and size.  The SKU and Tier Pricing should change.  If price and sku are fields when making a configurable product, these should change on the front-end when selecting the options.  I mean, images change when selecting color.   This should happen on the category view and product view. ...

I tried to create a new model, different from what Magento has and I was unable to create a fixture for that entity when I wanted to create an integration test for a method. I also tried to create a fixture for an out-of-the-box model (Catalog Product) and I was able to access that entity in the test method, so I was able to assert properties.   I am using: $objectManager = \Magento\TestFramework\Helper\Bootstrap::getObjectManager(); to create new objects. This works fine for core classes like:  ->create(\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product::class) But when I try to use it on a custom made module the data is not saved and I cannot load it inside my test. Is there an extra step or something we have to take in order to achieve the desired outcome?   ... View more

In my site, when customers click on a product image, a lightbox opens with the large close-up product images. I sell clothing, and customers like to see model stats for each different model image (model height, weight and sizes of garment being worn). Text in images looks terrible in responsive websites so it would be nice to have a way to add a text description to product photos to describe what's in the photo.   But there is no way to show text alongside the images natively in Magento (alt tag is too limited and not functional in all browsers). It would be great to either simply show a text description underneath each photo  -OR-  a more slick solution would be an on-hover block of text overlaying each photo. ... View more

At the moment, if you are trying to add an image to a product, you can only upload one from your computer and that gets uploaded directly to the server. You cannot upload an image from the media gallery. This should be an OOB feature.   The same happens with list and post images for posts. You cannot upload/access these from the media gallery. This should be an OOB feature.  ... View more

Hello, I believe this is more of a question than a suggestion. Amasty adds a block with technical information in the admin area (see below). Is it safe? Is it possible to add it to vanilla Magento to avoid every extension vendor adding this information? Access control would be more convenient to set up to one page rather than many. ... View more

At the moment Adobe Live Search for Magento only supports searching for products. I'd like to suggest it be extended to support searching for CMS page content as well. Our website has lots of content related to our products and it would be great to have that content show up within the search results for customers to find. Our current search provider Algolia can serve up CMS content results along with products in the same search query. In the search pop up, I'd like to see CMS search results in the left column and products shown in the right.   In addition, it would be great if Live search could be extended to support indexing of 3rd party extensions for additional searchable content. For example, my company sells books. We created a custom module that databases authors who wrote the books we sell. This database is displayed to customers on the front-end of the site. Each author has page with their biography and a list of active products. Authors are also linked to from the product page. I'd love to be able to create a custom Live Search extension the would allow our authors to be searched on by name.   Another example is Blog software. We use a blogging extension provided by a premium Magento partner and having their blog content showing up within site search would be great as well.  ... View more

Hi,   What I'm missing is an option in my account, my purchases to remove an extension from my list. Sometimes you add a extension and decide it's not working or not what you wanted. Now all the extensions stay in your marketplace, my purchases and through that end up in my magento backend webwizard. Would be nice to have this option. ... View more

Sometimes in custom development we need to implement a Pool (http://designpatternsphp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Creational/Pool/README.html). In Magento there is the \Magento\Framework\ObjectManager\TMap class, which is a generic Pool.   The idea is to use it as a VirtualType, or even in a composition of a Pool (as it's done for many Pools in Magento 2 core).   Is there any reason to make it as internal? What's the recommended way to achieve a pool with the Magento 2 stack? ... View more

Activate Bluefoot on Scheduled Events CMS  We have bluefoot installed on Magento EE 2.2.1 and it functions as designed, however we are trying to do scheduled events on CMS pages and the "Activate Bluefoot" button is not available in this section.  If you go to CMS page the wysiwyg will have the activate bluefoot, but from there if you want to schedule a change to the page and open the slider "Scheduled Events" the wysiwyg editor does not show the activate bluefoot.   If there something we can do to get this to show? Is this going to be fixed? Do we need to just extend the bluefoot ourselves to fix this?   Thanks ... View more

Hi,   Currently it is only possible to choose either GTM Or Universal Analytics in Magento backend and it will only render one or another on store fronts. One of our customers wanted both of these together on frontend and we commented the condition check at ga.phtml file to accomplish this. If possible and is conceptually correct, please make this feature avaialble in future magento versions.   Thanks and regards, Manaf ... View more
