Magento 2.x Feature Requests and Improvements

Feature request from aleron75, posted on GitHub Jun 13, 2016 This is a nice to have requirement born from poking with Magento 2 runtime: there isn't an AppInterface implementation for PHP scripts using Magento runtime. Indeed the bin/magento is a SymfonyApplication and doesn't implement the AppInterface . Here is the article which originated this thought: http://aleron75.com/2016/06/10/let-s-poke-with-magento-2-runtime/ Thank you! ... View more

Feature request from grasdaggel, posted on GitHub Jun 10, 2016 We need to delete the whole pub/static/frontend-folder if we want to have CSS changes and stuff available on the site. So we do the following: $ rm -rf var/cache/ var/generation/ var/page_cache/ pub/static/ $ php-cli bin/magento setup:upgrade $ php-cli bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy de_DE Here comes the problem. If you delete the backend folder in pub/static Magento tries to allocate the requested URL (i.e. login page for backend) for the en_US language, even if the only user in the backend has selected that his main language is de_DE. Magento simply tries to access files that are not there and that are not needed to be compiled (in our case: German). There should be an setting in the backend that sets the main language for the whole store to a specific language which get then called by default. This prevents unnecessary white pages. ...

Feature request from ruby10, posted on GitHub Jun 21, 2016 Hi there, I have an issue regarding setting fields in invoice create API POST "V1/invoices" with payload { "entity": { "base_discount_tax_compensation_amount": null, "base_shipping_discount_tax_compensation_amnt": null, "discount_tax_compensation_amount": null, "order_id": 58, "shipping_discount_tax_compensation_amount": 0, "total_qty": 2, "grand_total": 155, "subtotal": 150, "items": [ { "base_discount_tax_compensation_amount": null, "discount_tax_compensation_amount": null, "order_item_id": 74, "sku": null, "qty": 56, "row_total": 150, "tax_amount": 152, "discount_amount": 23, "price": 154 } ] } } Here I am setting fields "grand_total", "subtotal" on body level and fields "qty", "row_total", "tax_amount", "discount_amount" inside items array. As a API user, I am expected to pass Magento API with orderId, Items object array with order_item_id and qty, shipping cost ( again validation where this cost should be less then order shipping cost ) , but if I just provide these fields , they are displayed as '0' in invoice created on admin panel ...

Feature request from adlogic, posted on GitHub Jun 24, 2016 Steps to reproduce $trigger = $triggerFactory->create(); $trigger->setTable('some_table'); $trigger->setTime(Trigger::TIME_BEFORE); $trigger->setEvent(Trigger::EVENT_INSERT); $trigger->setName('some_trigger'); $trigger->addStatement('/* dummy */'); $setup->getConnection()->createTrigger($trigger); Expected result Trigger is successfully created. Actual result [PDOException] SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ';END' at line 13 More info Magento generates following query: CREATE TRIGGER some_trigger BEFORE INSERT ON some_table FOR EACH ROW BEGIN /* dummy */; END So, ::addStatement should use some heuristics for auto-adding semicolon after each statement, or doesn't add it at all. ...

Feature request from mackelito, posted on GitHub Jun 09, 2016 Steps to reproduce Add items to the cart thru the rest API and inspect the result of the xhr Expected result Response should be the cart. Same as when requesting '/rest/V1/guest-carts/29c8ee939e3a6146518e7340dfef75eb/totals' Actual result The response is the product that we just added. eg: {"item_id":52,"sku":"MH01-XS-Black","qty":1,"name":"Chaz Kangeroo Hoodie-XS-Black","price":52,"product_type":"simple","quote_id":"569"} -- If we don´t get the totals as response we need to make twice as many requests.. One for adding item to the cart and then One to get the cart totals. It would be way smoother to get the cart totals as the response when adding to the cart. ... View more

Feature request from karanbhomiagit, posted on GitHub Jun 29, 2016 Steps to reproduce Install Magento from develop branch. Try creating a simple product by making a call to REST API POST /V1/products. [Example] { "product": { "sku": "atoi-item", "name": "atoi-item", "status": "1", "type_id": "simple", "visibility": "4", "attribute_set_id": "4", "price": "3", "custom_attributes": [ { "attribute_code": "description", "value": "descreeeeeeption" }, { "attribute_code": "category_ids", "value": [ "1", "2" ] } ] } } I get a response : Status code 400. Body : { "message": "Unable to save product" } Expected result Error message in the response body should be more specific. There are so many field values that are required to be set on the request JSON, there is no way for the person making the request to identify where the request went wrong. Actual result [Example] Error message appears: "Unable to save product". ... View more

Feature request from tkn98, posted on GitHub Jul 28, 2016 Array keys cast to integer on string SKUs that could represent a PHP integer, however the Mysql comparison is string based for which - to prevent a cast in Mysql - it needs string quotes. These string quotes then need again the $sku as string. This is fixed by casting to string. Background: If you import many records with SKU that are numeric strings, Mysql performance is impacted negatively. ... View more

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 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 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. ...
