Hi Simon,
everything that was possible with the old GroupsCatalog extension is possible with the new extension, too (and more).
Can you please explain a little more about the changing of an image? I don't understand what that is.
Is it something that would be generally usefull and make sense as part of the extension?
Okay, sorry, then I doubt that this was eventually a feature of the extension. But please confirm again... In the shop I have here, there is an attribute like that for each product:
It enables to hide the product completely, to just show it (no purchase), but to replace the image, or to just show it (no purchase) and to show the original image. But I fear that this was never possible with the extension, right? It is consistent with the german youth law...
That must have indeed been a customization.
It actually would go against the primary way the extension works, which is to exclude hidden entities from any collection result set, and prohibit loading of hidden entities.
Because of that I'll won't be adding it as part of the extension functionality.
I would suggest creating a custom, separate extension for the functionality you describe, instead of mixing it with the groupscatalog2 extension.
In the first version of the GroupsCatalog extension, there was an attribute
groupscatalog_hide_type
. With this attribute, it was possible to completely hide products or to only replace the image and still show the product etc. I could not find anything like that in GroupsCatalog2. @Vinai, is there any feature like that in the second version? Or if not, why did you drop it? Is there any extension which enables that in GroupsCatalog2?Maybe this was never possible out-of-the-box and I have a customised extension here. If this is the case, sorry for the issue :-)
Thanks in advance!
