Feature request from licentia, posted on GitHub Oct 15, 2015 Magento should save the fee charged by Paypal for the transaction. This is very useful when trying to calculate Customer Equity & LTV. We have precise values and not approximate ones. Check this doc: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/merchant/GetTransactionDetails_API_Operation_NVP/ and the FEEAMT field. FEEAMT should be added to the protected $_getTransactionDetailsResponse in Magento\Paypal\Model\Api\Nvp And stored in the sales_order_payment table ... View more

Feature request from mage2pro, posted on GitHub Oct 27, 2015 There is an internal field \Magento/Framework/View/Layout/Builder::$isBuilt https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/ffa02d82c6344c76ea6de8b50d9612b3200ea2c7/lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Layout/Builder.php#L61 Need a public method.

Feature request from brideo, posted on GitHub Nov 13, 2015 http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.php Rather than this: /** * @return bool */ protected function _isAllowed() { return $this->_authorization->isAllowed(self::ADMIN_RESOURCE); } We should have this: /** * @return bool */ protected function _isAllowed() { return $this->_authorization->isAllowed(static::ADMIN_RESOURCE); } By using a static binding, we don't have to completely re-write the _isAllowed method in our controller action, instead we can simply define our ADMIN_RESOURCE constant, we then can let the AbstractAction handle our logic. This would be a completely backwards compatible change. ... View more

Feature request from hostep, posted on GitHub Nov 15, 2015 Hi Using Magento 2.0.0-rc2. I currently find it hard to edit a static block or cms page. We are now obligated to click at least twice on a tiny target, or even more then that if you make the mistake of clicking into a column which isn't the action column, due to the inline editing feature opening up. I can see the usefulness of inline editing when clicking on a row, but now it's becoming a bit harder to actually edit the contents of the page/block. I think in 80% of the cases when someone goes to the blocks/pages grid, it is to edit the contents of that block/page, not to change the title or the status or something like that. Here are some ideas to make it a bit more practical while keeping the inline editing feature: Split the actions into multiple columns, so you can click directly on 'Edit' Clicking on a column in a row which you can't edit inline (ID, created/modified dates, ...) should open up the static block/page immediately Add a configuration option above the grid to enable/disable the inline editing feature ... If anybody has other ideas to make this a less frustrating experience, please tune in :) Thanks! ... View more

Feature request from mage2pro, posted on GitHub Nov 17, 2015 See, for example: https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2335247d4ae2dc1e0728ee73022b0a244ccd7f4c/app/code/Magento/Catalog/view/adminhtml/layout/catalog_product_new.xml#L55 <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Adminhtml\Product\Edit\Js" name="catalog_product_js" template="catalog/product/js.phtml" /> is the same as <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Adminhtml\Product\Edit\Js" name="catalog_product_js" template="Magento_Catalog::catalog/product/js.phtml" /> But it is not possible for CSS and JS declarations: https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2335247d4ae2dc1e0728ee73022b0a244ccd7f4c/app/code/Magento/Catalog/view/adminhtml/layout/catalog_product_new.xml#L12 <css src="Magento_Catalog::product/product.css"/> It would be nice to have an abilily skip the current module prefix and use some shorter syntax like <css src="product/product.css"/> or <css src="::product/product.css"/> ...

Feature request from hiephm, posted on GitHub Jan 18, 2016 Although Magento 2 allows hooking to event when logging in to add additional validations (just like Magento 1), there is no way to change the error message if those validation failed (e.g by throwing Exception) since a default message is used for general Exception: # \Magento\Customer\Controller\Account\LoginPost::execute() ... } catch (\Exception $e) { $this->messageManager->addError(__('Invalid login or password.')); } In the other hand, the same logic in Magento 1 is more customizable: # \Mage_Customer_AccountController::loginPostAction() switch ($e->getCode()) { ... default: $message = $e->getMessage(); } $session->addError($message); ...

Feature request from brendanmckeown, posted on GitHub Jan 20, 2016 Both of the API routes in module-integration/etc/webapi.xml to get an authentication token work over http. These routes should be secure and only acceptable over https, because you are passing sensitive account information in the request body. This can be achieved by adding secure="true" to each <route> node: <route url="/V1/integration/admin/token" method="POST" secure="true"> <service class="Magento\Integration\Api\AdminTokenServiceInterface" method="createAdminAccessToken"/> <resources> <resource ref="anonymous"/> </resources> </route> <route url="/V1/integration/customer/token" method="POST" secure="true"> <service class="Magento\Integration\Api\CustomerTokenServiceInterface" method="createCustomerAccessToken"/> <resources> <resource ref="anonymous"/> </resources> </route> If this was an intentional decision, is there a way I can override this route in a custom module and enforce this behavior? ...

Hi!   Would be very useful to have a report showing all the unshipped quantites of SKUs still on ordered status.   And also to have the order number on which these unshipped SKUs appear.   Thank you! ... View more

Feature request from moleman, posted on GitHub Jan 21, 2016 When you run commands in an build environment, like Jenkins, you want the commands to return a non-zero exit code if an error occurred so that Jenkins can fail the build. Currently if any error occurs when you run setup:static-content:deploy it will not return a non-zero exit code which makes the build succeed even though the build is incomplete. Example: === frontend -> Vaimo/XXX -> en_US === ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Compilation from source: frontend/Vaimo/XXX/en_US/css/email-inline.less variable @media-common is undefined in file /XXX/en_US/css/source/_theme.less in _theme.less on line 24, column 9 22| // Global 23| // _____________________________________________ 24| & when (@media-common = true) { 25| .svg-link { 26| pointer-events: none; 27| }> This will make the generation of static files to stop right in the middle because of an error but it will still not return a non-zero exit code which makes the build incomplete and Jenkins will not know about it. The same behaviour occurs when you run setup:di:compile and when you switch deploy mode with deploy:mode:set. All of these commands should return a non-zero exit code if any error occurs. ...
