Magento 2.x Feature Requests and Improvements

In Magento the country of Netherlands Antilles is available, when this doesn't exist anymore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands_Antilles. It should be split up into Aruba (which is already there), Curacao (which is not there), Sint Maarten - note this is different to Saint Martin (which is not there). There are also 3 Municipalities (Bonaire, Sint Eustasius and Saba) which form the Caribbean Netherlands - ISO code BQ. This would also need to be added. ... View more

There is no REST API exposed for adding a Catalog Price Rule. I verified this with the EE support team. There are APIs available for adding special pricing and Cart Price rules, so why not for the Catalog one? Thanks ... View more

The "My Orders" view on accounts simply gives a list of orders sorted chronologically with the ability to set the number of records displayed per page.    It would be ideal to give a search function for the user to be able to search/filter for orders by a number of parameters including    - Order Number - Order Date (Including Date Range)  - Product   - Status     The only articles / extensions that i have ever found have been giving the administrator the ability to search for this. However for customers who are placing larger volumes of orders via a portal this could/would be a very useful piece of functionality ... View more

Currently, the default contact form only allows customers to send an email to a single recipient. For stores that have multiple departments(ie. service, sales, customer support) that have different emails, this default contact form is simply not sufficient. Magento 2 allows admin to enter different email addresses into the backend for different departments so why not support the same thing on the frontend. It would be a great feature for customers to be able to choose which department or person to send a message to. Does anyone else think this would be a good feature? Let me know if I can clarify this in any way. ... View more

To improve security on magento 2, I'd like to suggest encrypt customer data && order data (customer related), because it's also quite sensitive data. If hackers will get database, then  they can easily re-use customer data from customer tables or order tables.     That's logical that email field cannot be encrypted, but lastname, firstname, address, vat & company would be nice to have encrypted ...

Feature request from kandrejevs, posted on GitHub Jul 05, 2016 We have developed store with 3 languages- sk_SK, hu_HU, cs_CZ. Problem is that i18n:collect-phrases from root collects over 8000 strings including ones from adminhtml. We want only to translate frontend strings and leave backend in en_US locale. This can be achieved by creating csv file for every single module running command only on view/frontend directory. But that is time consuming. Proposition: Add option to i18n:collect-phrases command, to exclude view/adminhtml directories and xml files that contains translatable strings for backend. Here I played around a bit and made a small script that scans through app/code, theme and vendor folders, searches for base or frontend directory in view directory, translates it and in the end creates 2 csv files for comparison. in my case only frontend phrases are 770 vs 10 000 all phrases. https://gist.github.com/kandrejevs/72dcc1cfd9841e3a646ffe1c23c73801 ...

 Requesting a change to Page Builder text editor element to include the html view button in the TinyMCE toolbar.   In Magento 2.3.3 when I insert the text editor element into a page or block I'm working I only have standard formatting controls (bold, itallic, style, paragraph and etc.   If I need to do any kind of additional editing of content to add div tags to style content via CSS, add Google event tags or adding any html code not availbe in the toolbar I can't. There is no way for me to edit the content's source code.   There is an html element that can be dragged in however you can't flip back and forth from code to WYSIWYG mode to review your changes. This makes it difficult creating content because you're either making only allowed basic formatting or you have to do everything in pure html. No the most user friendly experience for site users. In Magento 1.14.x TinyMCE had a view source button that would allow us to toggle back and forth for ease of editing. I'd like to see this feature restored to core functionality.   I did see a git commit for this exact feature here:  https://github.com/magento-devdocs/pagebuilder-examples/tree/master/Example/PageBuilderExtensionText   I think its critical that content marketers have this feature to allow them to quickly create blog posts, product pages and blocks with ease of use in mind. Coding via pure html is time consuming for non developers. Please consider this feature to implement in the near future. ... View more

When you look at app/etc/config.php you see all the modules that are installed. However, whenever a new module is installed or upgraded, the sort order of this file is scrambled. I don't know if this is necessary or not, but it sure as hell makes version control a nightmare:   Is it possible to always make sure that this list is ordered alphabetically? It makes resolving merging issues a whole lot easier. ... View more

Official Magento 2 documentation do list how to enable redis caching for page and session caching but there's no equivalent command line to revert back to non-redis defaults it seems https://community.magento.com/t5/Admin-Configuration-Questions/Disabling-Redis-cache-from-command-line/m-p/89599   Would be nice if there were added command line options to disable redis caching and revert to default out of box configurations instead of having to modifying env.php.   Official docs http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/config-guide/redis/redis-pg-cache.html http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/config- ...

Magento 2, just like Magento 1, uses a WAY too aggressive image compression when product images are uploaded. They look blurry and dirty, and almost unusable - regardless of the quality or the resolution of the uploaded image. It would be great to be able to turn off or adjust the level of compression applied by Magento.   Catalogue images need to look crisp, sharp and professional.   Thank you! ... View more

Currently Special Prices on Configurable Products show only after a customer clicks on a color/size. Special pricing is not displayed on Grids or Product Pages until after options are chosen (strikethrough regular price next to new price). Only the regular price shows until after the options are chosen. Magento Support confirms that this is default behavior. I would like for my site to function in this regard like all other M2 sites that have products on sale (sale price is shown on product grids and on product pages - without first choosing attributes). I literally can not find one M2 site that does not show sale prices on the grids or the product pages (before options are chosen). M2 sites like Le Creuset demonstrate the logical behavior I'm describing: https://www.lecreuset.com/special s   If this is functionality that all Magento 2 customers are having to pay developers to fix/customize, I would suggest that it is something that Magento should add to its core functionality. ...

Feature request from DREC69, posted on GitHub Jan 04, 2018 An issue raised a while back, finally resolved in Sept '17 has now been made redundant. The issue was meta descriptions allow 255 characters, and this should be truncated since search engines didn't allow so many. As of Nov '17, Google will report meta descriptions over 300 characters. So Magento's now cutting short this useful form of CTA for its clients. Having had it reduced, can we see it enlarged?! ... View more

As it currently stands, Magento 2 flushes the Varnish cache by performing a HTTP PURGE request. This makes Magento 2 and Varnish unsuitable for use on a shared hosting environment where every user has their own Varnish instance, since everyone can connect to this port and thus flush the cache of every other user. In Magento 1 (with the Turpentine extension), the cache is flushed through the management interface and protected by the shared secret. Are there any plans to develop 'Magento-1-style' cache flushes and disallow flushing through the HTTP port?   Copied from issue: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/7375 ... View more

Feature request from Vinai, posted on GitHub Jun 17, 2015 When constructing arrays using DI (or also in layout XML) with the array type, it seems to be impossible to influence the order or the elements except via module load sequence. However, it currently is not possible to have one module to add itself to the sequence of another module, which limits this option severely. As I'm sure you are aware, the sort order of the array elements can be quite important. In some instances, for example the RouterList , this problem is overcome by making each router in the list a sub-array with the possibility to add a sortOrder . This works fine, but if the injected array is one dimensional it isn't an option. It forces the structure onto the client receiving the array. In other cases the injected list is simply an array of objects or strings, without the chance to influence the sort order. One example is the composite phrase renderer. It isn't possible to add a renderer before the placeholder renderer. It would be quite useful to be able to add an optional sortOrder attribute to the item node, which - if present - is used to sort the resulting array argument. Maybe a before/after attribute (like in layout XML) would be more appropriate, but I'm sure opinions on this will vary. Personally I don't care, I would simply like to have an option to influence the sort order of dependency injected arrays built with in di.xml, without resorting to changing the module load sequence. ...
