Magento 2.x Feature Requests and Improvements

Magento 2 2-step checkout is very limiting for stores who want/need to add content.   For example, we have many shipping methods and upgrade options to choose from that require explanation. The Magento 2 platform simplifies the checkout so much that my Address/Shipping Methods page will be very long and complicated.   It would be much more accommodating for both store owners and end-users if Addresses, Shipping Methods and Payment info were separated into 3 different pages (and with the ability to add content header and footers) to allow for directions, time tables and shipping advice. Customers need information to decide whether or not they will place their order - for example and most importantly - to know when they will get their order.   ... View more

Right now, if there is an error during the setup:di:compile process, all those errors are displayed in the output of the command-line.   Those errors are displayed with red background and they are repeated multiple times.   It would be great if we can see just the message that there were errors during compilation. In addition to that, we could see the path to the log file and the number of errors that have been logged.   That would keep the command-line output clean, and the error information in a log file to debug. ...

Feature request from spipu, posted on GitHub Feb 28, 2017 Hi, I generate the di with the following command : bin/magento setup:di:compile If a error occurs, it display the reflexion error, but it does not give the name of the class that has the error. Example: just change the asked type of a parameter of any constructor class to one type that does not exist, and launch the di compilation. You will have that kind of error: [ReflectionException] Class Smile\Map\Model\Map\string does not exist The verbose mode does not help. A good think could be to change this line: https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2.1/lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Code/Reader/ClassReader.php#L36 by this one: $message = $e->getMessage().' on ['.$className.']'; Regards, Laurent ...

Problem is when thirdparty system wanted to update product's inventory then they require to send API call to update each products. So it calls cache flush method everytime that uses too much memory if thirdparty wanted to update 100o skus.   So I would suggest if have API call to update stock inventory which accepts skus in batch then it saves CPU memory. ...

From what I can see, the emails sent using the "Send this product to a friend" functionality are the only emails in which the customer can set an arbitrary "From" email address.   I propose that the "From" email is a pre-configured Magento email identity, in keeping with all other usages of the email framework.   This will allow 3rd party email deliverability services such as SendGrid, & Mandrill to deliver the email, as most services require correct SPF/DKIM records for sending domains. I'm sure it would have a positive effect on spam filters as well.   We can set the "Reply-To" mail header to the customer's email address, to allow replies to continue as usual.   I'm happy to create a pull request for this functionality, if desired. ...

Feature request from cowmix88, posted on GitHub Feb 08, 2017 Preconditions Magento 2.1.3 PHP 7.0.13 MySQL 5.6 Steps to reproduce Create an item with SKU# SDF3123 Do a quick search for 3123 Expected result Search returns product SDF3123 Actual result Search returns no products. Note: Advanced search with a SKU of 3123 does work correctly. Also SDF312 works in quick search so it appears the wildcard character is only being applied to the end of the search string. Is there any easy way to edit search_request.xml to achieve the desired result? ... View more

Magento 2.1.3:   I've been given the task that when a customer with a certain property registers itself it should get a different e-mail template. What this property is, is not important for the question, but lets say for sake of simplicity I have a Service Contract that can check if the customer qualifies for the different e-mail template or not:   $this->customerChecker->hasCertainProperty($customerId); // returns true or false Now this might seem like an easy task right? Just hook into `Magento\Customer\Model\EmailNotification` with a plugin or something, and modify the part where the correct e-mail template is selected. Right?   public function newAccount( CustomerInterface $customer, $type = self::NEW_ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REGISTERED, $backUrl = '', $storeId = 0, $sendemailStoreId = null ) { $types = $this->getTemplateTypes(); if (!isset($types[$type])) { throw new LocalizedException(__('Please correct the transactional account email type.')); } if (!$storeId) { $storeId = $this->getWebsiteStoreId($customer, $sendemailStoreId); } $store = $this->storeManager->getStore($customer->getStoreId()); $customerEmailData = $this->getFullCustomerObject($customer); $this->sendEmailTemplate( $customer, $types[$type], self::XML_PATH_REGISTER_EMAIL_IDENTITY, ['customer' => $customerEmailData, 'back_url' => $backUrl, 'store' => $store], $storeId ); } Right... the e-mail template is sent in this method using sendEmailTemplate(). So we can't use a interceptor for this... Well let's just look at the sendEmailTemplate()-method then:   private function sendEmailTemplate( $customer, $template, $sender, $templateParams = [], $storeId = null, $email = null ) { $templateId = $this->scopeConfig->getValue($template, 'store', $storeId); if ($email === null) { $email = $customer->getEmail(); } $transport = $this->transportBuilder->setTemplateIdentifier($templateId) ->setTemplateOptions(['area' => 'frontend', 'store' => $storeId]) ->setTemplateVars($templateParams) ->setFrom($this->scopeConfig->getValue($sender, 'store', $storeId)) ->addTo($email, $this->customerViewHelper->getCustomerName($customer)) ->getTransport(); $transport->sendMessage(); } Darn! The method is private! So an interceptor will definitely not work here. And we also cannot use a rewrite, since private methods are not inherited.    The only way to manipulate our desired functionality is by rewriting the EmailNotification and copy/paste everything that is private from this class. Which are a lot of methods and properties.   ---   I would suggest that the EmailNotification-class gets some refactoring so it makes it's easier for 3rd party modules to extend it's functionality. Or am I missing something here? ... View more

Feature request from kanduvisla, posted on GitHub Dec 23, 2016 So I recently 'discovered' that you can set the proper urn's for your IDE with the command bin/magento dev:urn:generate , but if you're running your Magento development environment in a VM (like I am) the paths generated do not match with the path on your development machine. For example, in my VM, Magento 2 is installed in /var/www/magento , and /var/www is mounted on my local directory /Users/giel/PhpStormProjects/ProjectName . So when I run bin/magento dev:urn:generate ../misc.xml it generates all mappings to /var/www/magento instead of /Users/giel/PhpStormProjects/ProjectName , rendering this feature useless if you're running it in a VM. So there are 2 options here: I can edit misc.xml and find and replace all the paths. Or: We can add an extra option to the CLI command, --prefix for example. If we go for option 2, we can do something like: bin/magento dev:urn:generate --prefix="/Users/giel/PhpStormProjects/ProjectName/" ../misc.xml Would this be a nice attribution to this function? If so, I wouldn't mind spending some time creating it and sending a PR. ... View more

Feature request from tiwarimukesh, posted on GitHub Aug 13, 2016 Following is not a bug it can be considered as an improvement or a feature. In Magento 1 over long time of use media folder size keep growing and it become too huge.(If there a frequent updates of images). This happens especially for the website having very large catalog. It becomes difficult to identify the unused images and remove them. As an image can be used for multiple products or on multiple pages. Is there any road map of any feature which will provide a functionality for optimal handling of images in media folder? ... View more
