Hello
I just wanted to summarize some requests and issues that I would like to see resolved in future updates.

- When modifying an existing “Variable product,” the “Buy/Add to cart” button disappears.

- For provinces (at least for Italian ones), it would be useful and important to use abbreviations instead of the full name, which causes confusion with city names in addresses.

- Update the list of regions and provinces (I remember that Brussels-Capital Region was missing).

- Allow admin to customize the app's subscription notification emails without manually editing the php files on the server.

- Allow admin to assign a specific shipping method to specific products.

 

I apologize if you have already fixed this in the meantime.

Thank you.

Olivier

Hi Antonio,

here are answers to your questions:

  • When modifying an existing “Variable product,” the “Buy/Add to cart” button disappears.

I have to check this out.

 

  • For provinces (at least for Italian ones), it would be useful and important to use abbreviations instead of the full name, which causes confusion with city names in addresses.

Could you give me an example? 

 

  • Update the list of regions and provinces (I remember that Brussels-Capital Region was missing).

Brussels has been added (Bruxelles-Capitale) a while back (4.0.19 I believe)

 

  • Allow admin to customize the app's subscription notification emails without manually editing the php files on the server.

Was developed this week, coming in 4.4 :-)

 

  • Allow admin to assign a specific shipping method to specific products.

This is closer you could do with this: https://docs.j2commerce.com/shipping-methods/category-based-shipping or https://docs.j2commerce.com/apps/product-shipping-restrictions

Olivier.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Into Email templates we use the short codes, like:

[BILLING_FIRSTNAME] [BILLING_LASTNAME]
[BILLING_EMAIL]
[BILLING_ADDRESS_1] [BILLING_ADDRESS_2]
[BILLING_ZIP] [BILLING_CITY]
[BILLING_STATE] [BILLING_COUNTRY]

In Italy, instead of states, we use provinces, which are almost always other cities, for example:
Sesto San Giovanni (Milan)
So, to distinguish the city from the province, it is better to use the Zone Code, like this:
Sesto San Giovanni (MI)
But there is no shortcode for the zone code. Or am I wrong?

Best regards

Olivier

Thank you for the explanation! That helps :-)

So, the best approach is to create a custom field called 'Province' and disable 'Zone id'.

Make it available so people can enter the province in their addresses.

Then, in the email template, use [CUSTOM_BILLING_FIELD:PROVINCE] to get the entered values.

If the zone codes are limited, you could also make it a dropdown by entering all the values you need in the custom field.

I thought it would be much easier to insert a shortcode to enter the “Zone Code” instead of the “Zone name.”

Olivier

It probably could, but it has to be implemented.

I gave you a solution you can apply right now without waiting for a future release :-)
