Feature request from CRYX2, posted on GitHub Sep 16, 2015 Hello, I've not found any options to use multiple selection (for the same attribute) for layered navigation. In Magento 1 this options was very frustrating, now is implemented? ... View more

Feature request from cfcnn, posted on GitHub Oct 21, 2015 About produt images. When delete a product at the backend, the related product images are not deleted automatically, so that those useless images still occupy storage. Will Magento2 delete products and product images together? If 3 images for each product, 500KB for each image, there are 1,000 deleted products, and the 3,000 images are not deleted together with products, they waste 1.4GB storage; If there are 10,000 items, that's 14GB... Magento users have to pay for that storage. And more and more time when backup or transfer website. 1,000 items × 3 images × 500 KB/image=1.4GB 10,000 items × 3 images × 500 KB/image=14GB The default customer registeration verification of Magento is too simple, it's unable to reject robot registration, it's a problem for world magento users, a number of robot registration makes database very large. And they leave batch comments with ad links automatically by soft, or send spam ad emails to other people through " Email to Friend". Could magento2 add a google verification ReCaptcha to identify human or robot? ( as follows) ... View more

Feature request from markoshust, posted on GitHub Oct 24, 2015 The ./bin/magento CLI tool contains the command admin:user:create . It would be very helpful to add another command admin:user:update , which would allow the user to update the admin password. This comes up a lot when taking over development for projects from other companies, and/or just needing a quick way to change the admin password to access the site. The same directives should probably be used from admin:user:create . ... View more

Feature request from owenhaynes, posted on GitHub Oct 25, 2015 At the moment the json API is not very compliant to http://jsonapi.org. This makes life hard when trying to use the magento API with angluarjs modules such as rectangular, angualr-restmod. I can imagine this is a lot of work. ... View more

Feature request from mage2pro, posted on GitHub Oct 27, 2015 The decision whether a JavaScript component need be shown could be made when the layout is already built, so the component is unable to add its CSS resources by the standard way ( \Magento\Framework\View\Page\Config::addPageAsset() ). Is any standard possibility to load stylesheet asynchronously? (like require-css do). ... View more

Feature request from tzyganu, posted on GitHub Sep 02, 2014 I have a suggestion. Right now the image associated to the category is used in frontend as it is: $url = $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl( \Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA ) . 'catalog/category/' . $image; How about making it resizeable as the product images are? Here is a use case when this might be needed: One category has the layout 2-columns left. I have one image that fits in this format. I take the decision to change the layout for that specific category to 3columns. I have to reupload an image in the correct size, to fit in the new layout. But if the image was resizeable, I could just change the resize values. The resize values can even be 2 attributes in the backend, so when I change the layout I can change the width and height as well. If these attributes are empty then the image is shown at full size. ... View more

Feature request from sIiiS, posted on GitHub Sep 06, 2014 As you know, many languages use Unicode characters but magento do not support Unicode in URLs.

Feature request from tzyganu, posted on GitHub Sep 29, 2014 I don't know if this is on your todo list but I thought It would be good to throw it in here. The tabs (and maybe all the elements) in the admin dashboard could be generated in a more abstract form. I mean, the dashboard should be just a list of placeholders that can be filled in by the rest of the modules. Right now the Magento\Backend\Block\Dashboard\Grids::_prepareLayout contains 4 hardcoded tabs that should be moved in the correct module. For example Bestsellers and Most Viewed Products could be part of the reports module, New Customers of course in the customer module and so on. Also a way to add custom tabs could be nice. I know about interceptors, but I'm not exactly sure I can intercept a protected method. ... View more

Feature request from bubach, posted on GitHub Sep 29, 2014 Hi, I'd like to request just generally more settings for how and where images are stored. Possibly even fallback functionality for where to fetch images if not found in main path. One issue I have in particular with the current code base is on this line: https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/develop/app/code/Magento/Catalog/Model/Product/Image.php#L501 Where store ID is set as part of the cache path. In some webshops where you have 10+ stores and literally all the images are identical, it's a huge waste to keep duplicates of every thinkable image size. Not to mention the server strain when clearing the image buffer. ... View more

Feature request from tzyganu, posted on GitHub Oct 08, 2014 I see that in Magento 2 (opposed to 1) the html elements generated by the template path hints have their own classes and can be easily identified in javascript. This goes nicely with the idea I have. How about, when the template path hints are activated, to have a small toolbar (or button or whatever) somewhere on the top or bottom of the page that will allow the developers to show/hide certain elements of the template path hints. For example calling jQuery('.debugging-hint-template-file').hide() / show() will hide/show the template names. The same can be done to hide the block class names using .debugging-hint-block-class . or the dotted borders can be hidden by jQuery('.debugging-hints').css({border:'none'}); . Right now the processes that involve template path hints are slow. First I need to enable the path hints, identify the class or template, do my modifications, see if they appear in the page, then disable the path hints to see how it looks without them, then enable them again if needed. I know that I can create buttons on my browsers with the actions I need but a built in feature would be better. ... View more

Feature request from gstaniforthsessiondigital, posted on GitHub Oct 10, 2014 Instead of storing cache in a serialised array it would be much faster to store it as a native php file and var_export() the array. If the file is .php it will get picked up via the opcache and be stored in memory but also precompiled and stored in opcache. This would also remove unserialised logic also. ... View more

Feature request from tzyganu, posted on GitHub Oct 14, 2014 Is there any reason why I cannot set a product attribute with type 'Media Image' to be used in product listing? When I create an attribute from Stores->Attribute->Products and select the Catalog Input Type for Store Owner to be Media Image the Frontend Properties tab disappears completely. If I create the attribute like that and then change the value for the field used_in_product_listing in the catalog_eav_attribute table for the attribute I just created to 1 it works just fine. I have my attribute loaded in the product listing page. Sometimes I may need an additional image attribute in the product listing. I cannot do that from the UI and I see no reason for it. A real use case: I want to have a rollover image. When hovering the product image I want to see a different image (with the backside of my product for example). This problem exists in Magento 1 also. I hope it will be tackled at least in M2. And while on this...please change the label of the attribute type field. Catalog Input Type for Store Owner sounds scary. Attribute type sounds more friendly. ... View more

Feature request from EliasZ, posted on GitHub Oct 20, 2014 With the whole new spirit of loosely coupling the Magento 2 code base, maybe a good look can be taken at the layout definitions and its dependencies. For example, opening Magento/Backend/view/adminhtml/layout/default.xml reveals the following definitions which can be moved: <link src="Magento_Rule::rules.js"/> <!--Magento_Rule can take care of this--> The following can be moved to Magento_RequireJS: <link src="requirejs/require.js"/> <link src="mage/requirejs/resolver.js"/> </head> [...] <block name="require.js" class="Magento\Backend\Block\Page\RequireJs" template="Magento_Backend::page/js/require_js.phtml" /> [...] <referenceContainer name="after.body.start"> <block class="Magento\RequireJs\Block\Html\Head\Config" name="requirejs-config"/> More in after.body.start: <block class="Magento\Translation\Block\Js" name="translate" template="Magento_Translation::translate.phtml"/> <!--Magento_Translation can take care of this--> And so forth. ...

Feature request from ihor-sviziev, posted on GitHub Oct 21, 2014 From Magento 1.x we have a lot controllers that use _addContent. This method is fires after running loadLayout. As result we haven't ability to use action directive from layout files to use some manipulations, as example change template file for block (described there). I propose mark this method as deprecated and replace same places to layout updates. List of this places: https://github.com/magento/magento2/search?q=_addContent ... View more
