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 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 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. ...

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

Feature request from adragus-inviqa, posted on GitHub Oct 01, 2015 I tried to create Customer attribute which renders as readonly in the backend, but couldn't find an easy way to do it. "Easy" for me means a new flag when creating an attribute (like label , frontend_class etc.) - say adminhtml_readonly - which changes the way its default renderer displays the input - exactly the way it renders when the attribute is locked() . Although the classes that render various HTML elements do support readonly functionality, I'm not sure if those can be easily coupled with an EAV attr flag. I guess this can only be done for a couple of inputs, like text , textarea , but it'll be nice to be able to mark the attribute as readonly even for (multi)selects, file , images or others. What do you think? ... View more
