Single product in multiple collections + images to variants

[MedusaNick]

Wishes for product page from a current user

• Would like to be able to put a single product in multiple collections via Admin
• Would like to be able to add images to individual variants

For the image it could be selected from the product images or create a new product images, that way when you choose a variant you can select the image to be active in the slider to?

[almousa1990]

It would be great to have these feature. It is a common use case to have a single product in multiple collections (clothing, summer collection, etc…)

[lithiumlab]

product variant image/s is a must for some products like watches, tshirts. highly desired feature.

Would like to be able to put a single product in multiple collections via Admin

This is already supported in the product create / update flow

Would like to be able to add images to individual variants

We'll most likely be adding support for images on variants in Q3.

@olivermrbl Is this live in the newest version of Medusa? I haven't tried this myself, but the product API reference still shows the collection property as a single object.

I'm glad to see that multiple images for variants are coming. Cannot wait to try Medusa in production as soon as this feature is implemented. 💪🏾

[almousa1990]

@olivermrbl the current version of the product model allows one collection per product.

@Column({` type: "text", nullable: true })
  collection_id: string | null

  @ManyToOne(() => ProductCollection)
  @JoinColumn({ name: "collection_id" })
  collection: ProductCollection

i cant find products in collections medusajs api

[thngdude]

When referring to Q3 for variant images, does that mean it's currently WIP? Looking very much forward to this feature as well.

[aihdeveloper]

Any status for the variant images feature? Appreciate all the hard work!

[RegisHubelia]

+1 - being able to somehow link images with variants is missing. I'll be working on something as we have an urgent need for this - but it's probably better to have this as a feature to begin with...

[lithiumlab]

@RegisHubelia I have submitted this as a feature request days ago. See https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/discussions/2807

[Dovydastc]

Waiting for an update on this!

[olivermrbl]

Last week, we published an RFC detailing the concept of a product category. We will follow up with one centered around the relationship between products and categories. But I can reveal now, that the current proposal introduces a many-to-many relationship allowing you to have multiple categories per product and vice versa.

With respect to variant images, we are yet to plan that feature. I expect to be able to share details in late Jan or early Feb.

[alex-brukhty]

+1 for variant images, thanks

[AlexTechNoir]

As a temporary workaround we can set the tags (that will serve as collections) to products and then filter the products by specifying the array of tags' ids in the query, like this:

http://localhost:9000/store/products?tags[]={id_of_tag_as_collection}&tags[]={id_of_another_tag_as_collection}

In Admin, the same tag id is set respectively to the same tag title

Would love to see variant images!

[teddyboirin]

Someone can give us visibility about how this feature can be developed ? maybe she's already WIP ?

[microCloudCode]

variant images! +1

[ghost]

Any updates here? Interested in this feature as well.

Found a plugin for this:

https://medusajs.com/plugins/medusa-plugin-variant-images/

[adrien2p]

Seems like this issue have been resolved.

I apologize for the delayed response.

Please don't hesitate to re-open the issue (or create a new one) if you still need a resolution or an answer.

Thanks ❤️

[alinjie]

@adrien2p Do you have any link to where this was resolved? I cannot seem to find it in the changelog.

[adrien2p]

We have introduced the categories a few months back which allows you to organise your product in different categories and allows more granular control.

For the variant image, it looks like a plugin has been made

[AbhiAbhiAbhiAbhi]

I added this plugin https://medusajs.com/plugins/medusa-plugin-variant-images/ in my project. Though the schema is updated, I am not sure from where I can upload the images for the variants!

I have "@medusajs/admin": "7.1.8" version and rebuilt it also, still not seeing anything on the admin dashboard UI. Can anyone help?

[kshitijmehta]

@adrien2p I see the https://github.com/andriinuts/medusa-plugin-variant-images archived (with not so happy reasons). Any plans on how to take this request further ?

[alsherif-khalaf]

@adrien2p I see the https://github.com/andriinuts/medusa-plugin-variant-images archived (with not so happy reasons). Any plans on how to take this request further ?

Why he archived it ?

[nourr23]

So we have to use collections as categories and categories as collections ?

[devtony01]

Can't someone just edit core and add the same schema for product images for variant images, then adapt the service too. Like this should not take a day

[devtony01]

Building the above for a client and I might be forced to use Saleor or Vendure, Medusa is my first love but I need my client happy

[hijak]

reopen this please its totally blocking me moving from prestashop

[bigangrycrow]

Glad the plugin author recommended Vendure; Meudsa was a nice newbie trap for a completely barebones slop app but the more I use it the more I'm pulling my hair out. Webdev was a fucking mistake.

[davidhotar]

It's disappointing that these features are still not included after 2 years of development. Why is this the case? Is Medusa prioritizing its own B2B partnerships at the expense of community development? Vendure seems like a better choice now.
