Feature request from allanpaiste, posted on GitHub Aug 04, 2016 Currently it's not possible to create an 'image' EAV attribute for category as the code in many places has been hardcoded to talk only with attribute that is explicitly been named 'image'. This PR addresses that problem by steering the code towards more generic approach to the whole situation by detecting all matching attributes via backendModel check.

Feature request from Corefix, posted on GitHub Aug 05, 2016 A problem will occur when you are adding any success message and the quickly changing page, fx adding a product to cart and then going to another page before the 3 seconds pass. This is especially true when dealing with production mode sites with all cache enable. I'm not a Javascript wizard so not sure any time is needed at all. But it should definitely be decreased. If their have been any thoughts on why this is 3 seconds I would love to know it. ... View more

Feature request from meng-tian, posted on GitHub Aug 10, 2016 The current implementation of \Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductRepository::getList does not allow filter products by stores. When specify store_id filter in $searchCriteria , an exception throws Invalid attribute name: store_id . This pull request adds support for store filtering by using the \Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\Collection::addStoreFilter method. ... View more

Feature request from meng-tian, posted on GitHub Aug 12, 2016 The REST endpoint of product list is: http://<magento_host>/rest/<store_code>/V1/products It is intuitive to think the result of this endpoint should be filtered by <store_code> . For instance, specifying store code default should return products in default store; specifying store code all should return all products. However, in Magento 2.0.8, specifying different store code return the same result. This issue also apply to Magento 2.1.0 (#5723). This pull request will take <store_code> into consideration when retrieving products. A plugin is enabled only for web services areas. The plugin is not enabled for global dependency injection configuration as it may affect users in other areas, e.g., front store. Note: this pull request depends on #6095. ... View more

Feature request from techteamus, posted on GitHub Aug 14, 2016 Affected version: Community 2.1.0 During test deployments of my Magento 2 setup I continually ran into problems if I used a language other than en_US. After running the setup and a 'bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy en_GB' the front end files would display just fine but the admin interface was missing all the CSS etc. I eventually traced the problem back to how the initial admin user is created. Regardless of what language is chosen during setup the admin user is always setup with the interface locale as en_US. To me this seems counter intuitive, the initial admin user should be configured with the same language as the store configuration. Changing the admin user interface locale to en_GB in the database (not recommended) solves the problem instantly and the admin interface displays as expected. If the initial admin user was correctly configured this would have saved me time and I have no doubt other people are trudging around in circles try to resolve what looks like a complex issue but is in fact a simple configuration problem. ...

There doesn't appear to be a way to schedule a banner within a slider.  Let's say I want to show a holiday banner as part of a slider series but have it run specific dates like a weekend.     Current workaround seems to be to create a new duplicate slider just for that.  The sliders have date control, but that doesn't seem optimal since I'd actually need 3 duplicate sliders to do before, during, then after.    If each banner could have run dates, that seems like it'd be much easier and better.  At the banner level, not the slider level.   ...

Feature request from Marko-M, posted on GitHub Aug 16, 2016 Preconditions Magento 2 version 2.1.0 Use \Magento\Framework\Url::getUrl() from secure area of the store Steps to reproduce Make sure code is executed in secure area of the store (HTTPS) Generate URL in code /** * @var \Magento\Framework\Url */ protected $url; ... $this->url->getUrl( 'test/test/test', [ '_secure' => false ] ) Resulting URL is https://example.com/test/test/test Expected result Make sure code is executed in secure area of the store (HTTPS) Generate URL in code /** * @var \Magento\Framework\Url */ protected $url; ... $this->url->getUrl( 'test/test/test', [ '_secure' => false ] ) Resulting URL is http://example.com/test/test/test Reason behind such behavior is: https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2.1.0/lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Url.php#L364-L366 where code assumes that if current request is secure, requested url should be secure as well, regardless to '_secure' parameter saying otherwise. ...

Feature request from elioermini, posted on GitHub Aug 17, 2016 I think would be useful to have like in M1 the method streamOpen() . There is no other way to initialise the field $_streamHandler of the class File. Other methods in the class File rely on the initialisation of $_streamHandler and having it null I suppose that leaves the class just possible to use only extending it. ... View more

Feature request from SmthDiff, posted on GitHub Dec 20, 2013 I don't know if someone else has already opened an issue about this or if it's already a work in progress, but I would really like to see OpenID implemented in Magento2 for the backend users. I'm not entirely sure if it would also be a good idea for frontend users but for the backend it would help a lot. For example for big agencies making a Magento Webpage for a Client. It is easier for employees to use their existing OpenIDs on every project. No need to have a centralized password database. Everyone knows their logins and it simply works. I would really like that. Apart from that I really like how Magento2 is coming along and hope it's released soonish :) ... View more
