Feature request from scholtz, posted on GitHub Feb 01, 2016 Hi, it would be cool, if someone could setup the shop using the command line. For example to set the other language, someone would need just this code to run on command line: composer config repositories.atconnect composer https://connect20.aveo-trade.cz composer require atconnect/magento-two-language-de-de:2.* php bin/magento setup:store-view:new "Main Website Store" DE de 1 1 php bin/magento setup:store-view:edit setLang de_DE I know that setup:store-view: does not exists, so please give to this post label "improvement" or "feature request" Thanks ...

Feature request from stasleo, posted on GitHub Feb 29, 2016 I don't like UX of Magento 2 grids. 1) To find some product I need to do the following: click on "filters" find Name input and fill in click on "apply filters" button ("enter" does not submit form) Why there is no "search by keyword" input (like in Customers or CMS Pages grid)? https://s.mail.ru/2vjLSwe7zM5x/img-2016-02-29-11-46-30.png 2) Where there is no inline editor in the Product Grid (like in Customers or CMS Pages grid)? 3) Why grids display mass-action dropdown even if nothing selected? I think it would better to display mass-action dropdown in some pop-over in floating position, and only if some items are selected. It would make grid pages cleaner and easier to use. 4) There is no need to display pagination block if there is no need to. For example, if I have <20 items, pagination can be hidden. 5) Bookmarks should be always visible and accessible at just one click. 6) It should also be possible to change the order of bookmarks. 7) Our developers said that new magento grids are complicated to customize. It is difficult to make cell value a link or apply some CSS to a cell. ... View more

Feature request from rimasVKB, posted on GitHub Mar 02, 2016 I can attach files only in All Store Views. But I want attach separate files for each store view because these files are in different languages. ... View more

Feature request from pynej, posted on GitHub Mar 28, 2016 We create and customize lots of magenta systems and we would love to see a option in the Themes section to create a new theme and optionally attach it to a parent theme. This would just ask for the company name, theme name, and optional parent theme. Then it would create the proper folder skeleton structure, create the registration.php and theme.xml files, and display the path to access and update it via FTP with simple instructions. It's somewhat overwhelming for a new admin to understand how the themes logic all works and a simplified screen to create themes like this would be helpful for new users as well. ... View more

Feature request from dmanners, posted on GitHub Mar 31, 2016 I have been working with Typo3 for a while and as part of their projects they have some post commit hooks that will run tests and code sniffer and fail if your commits do not match the standards or fail tests. There is also the commit template so that you know how to format your messages. This is a big help with multiple people contributing to open source projects. It can be found at https://github.com/FluidTYPO3/fluidtypo3-development and you can see it being included via composer.json on https://github.com/FluidTYPO3/flux/blob/development/composer.json under require-dev. This might be a nice feature to help and encourage people to contribute to the Magento2 project. ... View more

Feature request from lindows-xx, posted on GitHub Apr 02, 2016 hi team, i'm building a .net integration with magento 2, i noticed when i call the following code to get a product from magento 2, if the sku exist in magento (ALL OK) if the sku doesn't exist, the code will error cause the response from magento can't be serialized `using (catalogInventoryStockRegistryV1PortTypeClient svc = new catalogInventoryStockRegistryV1PortTypeClient(SecureBinding(endPoint), new EndpointAddress(endPoint))) { svc.Endpoint.Behaviors.Add(new MyBehavior()); using (new OperationContextScope(svc.InnerChannel)) { // Add a HTTP Header to an outgoing request HttpRequestMessageProperty requestMessage = new HttpRequestMessageProperty(); requestMessage.Headers["Authorization"] = String.Format("Bearer {0}", token); OperationContext.Current.OutgoingMessageProperties[HttpRequestMessageProperty.Name] = requestMessage; CatalogInventoryStockRegistryV1GetStockItemBySkuResponse r = svc.catalogInventoryStockRegistryV1GetStockItemBySku(new CatalogInventoryStockRegistryV1GetStockItemBySkuRequest() { productSku = sku, }); if (r != null) retVal = r.result; } }` if the record can't be found (item/product/order/invoice) which ever the record is, instead of returning the fault xml and the reason, return just the response object wihtout the data so that the code could be serialized? this was great in magento 1, but i feel they trying to do too much in v2 and its causing alot of problems when trying to write integrations ...

Feature request from fvschie, posted on GitHub Apr 05, 2016 There is no API for getting or setting newsletter subscription status. Such an API is necessary for integration with third-party systems, specifically mailing platforms. This needs to be separate from customer API of course, although adding newsletter subscription status to Customers would be a welcome addition too. ... View more

Feature request from raykai, posted on GitHub Apr 29, 2016 General suggestions for Magento 2. Magento 2 is missing A basic customer support ticket system that keeps everything connected to a customer's account. Something that would allow for admin to respond directly from the backoffice and would be notified whenever there was a ticket opened or overdue. This or integration with something like osTicket which is open source would be great. osTicket: http://osticket.com ... View more

Feature request from Asitis, posted on GitHub Jun 10, 2016 Would it be possible to make the import/export function also available for all the static pages and blocks? Nowadays webshops are barely just products, but also consist of a lot of static content, but migrating it is a real headache. It is doable by exporting/importing database tables but it's a hassle to set all the correct storeviews, ID's and pages. Plus in a combination of static blocks tied to widgets in a certain theme, this is horrific. It would be nice to see some WordPress functionality here, if you export stuff from WordPress and import it in another you get a screen with all the variables (like author and such) and you can select to create that author, or adding that content to another existing author. The same could be in Magento; How it could work If you import Pages and/or Blocks, it could be mapped to all storeview by default, or (like WordPress) show the option to add the missing storeviews or add them to an exisiting. Adding Widgets would ask for input about which theme, storeview and block it would be assigned to, or leave the block open (and import is as inactive) to add the blocks at a later stage after the import ...

Feature request from RUjmiak, posted on GitHub Jun 10, 2016 It would be great to have not just message as response when request is not successful. For example adding product to cart response 400 Bad request and message "You need to choose options for your item." or 400 Bad request and message "This product is out of stock." or 400 Bad request and message "We don't have as many \"Chaz Kangeroo Hoodie-XS-Gray\" as you requested." Compare messages to identify error is not good approach... even when you want to connect to more magento websites with different languages... Did you think about it? Thanks ... View more

Actual result All products and every pruct with a produc_links array and every product_link with a extension_attributes but for some products it returns an array even empty [] for others with one element does return the single element (not in an array). It should return an array allways, regarding the number of elements returned. Some time it returns: "extension_attributes":[] some times returns: "extension_attributes":{"qty":0} As I said it should allways return an array: "extension_attributes":[{"qty":0}] ... View more

Feature request from Ctucker9233, posted on GitHub Jul 12, 2016 Steps to reproduce Install Magento 2.1 Setup cron jobs as per official documentation. Expected result Working installation with running cron jobs and no errors in debug log Actual result Working installation with running cron job, but every time the jobs are run, a main.DEBUG: cache_invalidate: is thrown. The way I see it, there are two ways to fix it. Code it in a way so that "notifications" (which is what this seems like) are not reported in the debug log, or create a notification.log where things like this can be written. On a side note, it would be nice to have some automated way to clear these logs. ... View more
