Magento 2.x Feature Requests and Improvements

Feature request from sIiiS, posted on GitHub Jan 10, 2016 Can anything be done to define "decimals, precision, etc" or force the script to automatically detect "options" based on the locale during setup? For example in Persian: precision is "0" not "2" ... ex. 5 is correct not 5.00 decimals is "0" not "4" ... ex. 20 is correct not 20.0000 script is "Arabext" not "Latn", currency position is "Right" not "Left", etc! ...

Feature request from Khaleel, posted on GitHub Jan 11, 2016 Hi I want to raise some issues on the hideous and bloated Media uploader for Magento 2 and shoot the person who built this pile of crap. Cannot upload SVG images Poor UI and UX No indication of uploaded content Firefox has thousands of issues including JS issues with not allowing the upload option to show The upload button is text and should be made to a button No history tracking It does not even work half the time in Chrome or Firefox. Since the last update the design has also broken and why does it scale full screen to to the right? ... View more

Feature request from mageman, posted on GitHub Jan 13, 2016 After creating a configurable product with 1 generated associated product, saving to a new attribute set, then re-open the configured product. and click on edit configuration: There are options to add an attribute whose type is not a dropdown, i.e. yes/no or text field, but after submitting these changes, the values do not appear in the new configuration! Furthermore, the new attribute is not being added to the attribute set! It seems wrong that non-dropdown attributes cannot be added. Why is it not possible to add these types? I am recommending the following: Despite the fact that the magento manual states that only dropdown types are supported, I am requesting support for attribute types other than dropdown, rather than the removal of options that are not supported. This would make working in the admin pages a-lot easier. For example, I could have a numerical or boolean attribute that I can generate associated products for. I was hoping to have the same user experience here in many ways similar to M 1.9. ... View more

Feature request from miketsl, posted on GitHub Jan 17, 2016 Is it possible (easily) to make one of the attribute products the default for the base configurable product? In other words, if I have black, red, and green watches.... someone clicks on the watch product, and the product details screen automagically shows a configurable default color. Also, if someone hits "add cart" from the catalog grid, it adds the configurable default color item. ... View more

Feature request from MonteShaffer, posted on GitHub Jan 18, 2016 I am swimming around the code for magento-backend (within Model and App), trying to figure out how in the world I would hook into Magento2 authentication for creating my own Duo Two Factor Support. isLoggedIn ?? Sentry Human Element developed one for the OLD CE 1.9 http://www.human-element.com/sentry-two-factor-authentication-documentation/ And if you look at their code, they are really using a library from the DUO website itself... https://github.com/duosecurity/duo_php Certainly other authenticators (like Google) could easily be introduced. Of note, there needs to be some backend-manually recovery if the DUO fails.... some file in the folder structure with a force bypass. e.g., bypass-duo = true; So the admin tool would have a toggle (enable/disable DUO, just for backend), and if DUO is enabled in the system, but this text file is true, it would disable, allowing admins into the system. An example of Wordpress plugin ... https://wordpress.org/plugins/duo-wordpress/ This increases security tremendously. Anyway, I believe this should be a core feature (as a system->configuration->option), so I am proposing this as a feature. ... View more

Feature request from MonteShaffer, posted on GitHub Jan 18, 2016 I have noticed that the Captcha plugin is available, and I have implemented in my Magento 2 store. However, in the past, I have used much simpler Captcha plugins, and am curious why this version is considered the core, without the option to choose from one of several Captcha plugins. A little counter-intuitive to the abstraction goals of Magento 2. For example, Visual Captcha ... drag and drop an icon ... or click on an icon to prove you are a human. https://github.com/emotionLoop/visualCaptcha-PHP ... View more

Feature request from devdesco-ceo, posted on GitHub Jan 19, 2016 I have a situation where I have custom theme (Porto, based off blank theme) installed and active, and prepackaged Luma theme is not active anywhere in my Magento stores, so no need to trigger compilation on it. BWT when I run static content compiler, both Magento/blank, Magento/luma and Smartwave/porto are being compiled. That would be fine, but I am compiling 6 locales for my multistore/multilang setup, and that takes awhile, believe me! The command I trigger: php ./bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy en_US fr_FR de_DE pt_PT es_ES it_IT What can I do to pass a command to compiler to skip compilation of Magento/luma? ...

Feature request from lisovski, posted on GitHub Jan 22, 2016 Right now there is no way (I'm not sure) to remove columns from CSV/XML export using UI component. It would be good to have "is_system" config attribute in UI component (see Magento 1) to define the columns you don't want to export. ... View more

Feature request from webtekindo, posted on GitHub Feb 04, 2016 The issue exists in Magento 1 and still exists in Magento 2, when we use the Adjustment Refund or Fee taxes are not calculated. I see in the documentation : "In the Adjustment Refund field, enter a value to be added to the total amount refunded as an additional refund that does not apply to any particular part of the order (shipping, items, or tax). The amount entered cannot raise the total refund higher than the paid amount." So I understand that these adjustments dont apply to shipping, items or tax. But in the case we want to partially refund an items, we dont have choice to use the Adjustments fields and then the taxes are not recalculated. I think a better way should be to allow to refund one or more products with a custom price (with checkbox as on admin new order form) and if the products are taxable then the refund will correctly recalculate the correct taxes. ...

Feature request from webtekindo, posted on GitHub Feb 10, 2016 It should be nice to have an option in Admin to display price range for configurable products instead of only displaying the minimal price. 50$ - 90$ (minimal price) - (maximal price) That range may be display on the product listing, and on the product page when no options selected yet I beleive many companies have use cases on which they use the configurable product type, but price may vary a lot depending on the configurable options. ...

Feature request from ipragmatechadmin, posted on GitHub Mar 10, 2016 We are trying to build the generic android mobile app which can be used by magento 2 owners using REST API for Magento2 and have implemented the basic features for the app. As most of the people uses paypal for the payment gateway, we planned to use the paypal Android SDK for our mobile app but the problem is that we are not able to find the REST API to submit the transactionId or PaymentId to magento2.
