I have been trying to find out whether one can translate the content from Shopping experience product pages.
I have found the relevant documentation for Categories but I see no mention of the corresponding product translations.
It seems that this should be a thing that is translatable in the settings where you select the per-product configs for the blocks
I have tried the following:
Assign a layout to a product and set its value to "ENGLISH BANNER" in English
Switch to German (the "ENGLISH BANNER" is still there)
Replace it with "GERMAN BANNER".
Switch to English again and check the results.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? The Shopware version is 6.4.10. Is there a non-hacky way to translate the content from per-product for product pages in Shopping experiences?
The shop's default language is English if this is relevant.
I can reproduce this in higher Shopware versions (6.4.16.0)
The data is stored at product_translation in the slot_config field, so it looks like this should be translatable in the long run but obviously it's not yet implemented and/or a bug.
You might want to create a request at https://issues.shopware.com/
As a not-to-hacky workaround you might add your translated data to the product entity itself using a custom field. This custom field can be inserted via twig {{ customFields.my_test_field }} in the product and the translation works for such custom fields.

I want to add an entity extension to a customer in shopware 6. I was able to do so with the examples in the documentation of shopware on the PHP side and now I wonder how to display and modify this new "field" in the shopware 6 backend.
I searched a lot and also tried to find a simple plugin where I could get some inspiration from, but unfortunately I'm not able to find.
So again the question 😊 Is there any simple example on how to add an entity extension for customers with field in the admin of shopware 6? Or an example plugin, where I can see how it could be done?
What you're (likely) trying to achieve would be the combination of multiple separate tasks.
If you want to store data in the database you'd need a new custom entity
If you want to associate the new entity with the customer you'll need the entity extension
You'll need to add a new field in the administration
I've linked to examples respectively, but you'll probably need to take the time and invest in studying the documentation regardless.
I also created an example plugin that combines all these steps and adds a new entity with a height field as association to the customer and displays the field in the administration. You can find the repository here.
Not sure if you considered this, but depending on what you are trying to accomplish, the simplest way is probably adding a custom field (this can be done progamatically or even via the admin panel).
The drawback is, that those fields' values are stored as JSON and it has drawbacks when you try to search through them.
I have built a website (with MODX) where some products are managed and displayed via the articles addon. The products should have a custom ordering but I don't know how to use a template variable for that.
If I enter the name of the TV in the "Sort Field" field nothing is shown at all.
So is it somehow possible to use a TV there?
Or is there another way to achive a custom ordering (note that I need the summary and date fields, so I cant't abuse them for that)?
You can do this by using getResource package. Look at sorbyTV, sortdirTV, sortbyTVType parameters in manual:

How to implement Attribute to find his own name in the admin area in Opencart : Products - Attributes - Attributes? Is that there is a separate field and simply by driving into the field and displays the name of the attribute is an attribute, as usual searching for items in the admin by name, but only with attribute
It's hard to understand what you are asking, but if you are trying to use attributes for products then you must first define them at catalog>attributes>attributes.
To List attributes in the Products tab you will need edit these files
admin>view>template>catalog>product_form.tpl
admin>controller>catalog>product.php
If your understanding of PHP or Opencart isn't very strong it will help you to copy data from the attribute.php controller to the product.php controller.
As for the search function, this is something I haven't done before but you could try using the search function on the front of the website as reference.
I recommend working through this as best you can then asking more questions if or when you get stuck.
*Update
Ok so since HTML is your strenth it will be smartest to start from there. Open any of these files (the ones that have the data you need).
admin>view>template>catalog>attribute_form.tpl
admin>view>template>catalog>attribute_group_form.tpl
admin>view>template>catalog>attribute_group_list.tpl
admin>view>template>catalog>attribute_list.tpl
Then work backwards with what you see. The tpl will show variables that look like $attribute, track these back to
admin>controller>catalog>attribute.php
admin>controller>catalog>attribute_group.php
And you will see how all the code is used to pull the data from the model and format it if necessary.
I'm sure this is something simple for which I just haven't found the documentation:
I have a website with a member directory. All of the member data is stored in a members channel, which uses a variety of custom fields – some of which are part of the P&T Field Pack.
I use a Safecracker form to enter the data, and it renders the custom fields beautifully:
What I want is essentially the same form, but have it perform a search, instead of enter the field data.
I've scoured the Search Module documentation, but can't find information on how to search individual fields, let alone how to render them. I've also searched the Safecracker documentation for how to configure it to search (the ideal solution).
How do I do this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

EE's search module won't do what you want - it's more of a general search tool, and its "Advanced search" form is less about custom fields and more about things like channels and categories.
You want to look at Solspace's Super Search. It's much more powerful, and will allow you to do exactly what you want in terms of your query - though you will have to build the form manually (i.e., you won't get the SafeCracker-style simplicity of using {field:field_name} to have your form fields output for you).
I would also recommend checking out SuperSearch.
we are currently weighing up what cms to use with Expression Engine 2 being a strong candidate.
We would like to create a bilingual site where the categories would need to be in both languages.
I see that a category has the following fields
Category Name,
Url Title,
Description,
Image url,
We would also like to add "Category Name French" and "Description French" to each category and have them editable via the control panel form.
Does any one know if this is possible?
Any pointers much appreciated
Beyond the standard ExpressionEngine Category Fields — Category Name, Category URL Title, Category Description, Category Image URL — you can add as many additional Custom Category Fields as you see necessary.
You can add/edit custom category fields in the ExpressionEngine Control Panel at:
Admin > Channel Administration > Categories > Manage Category Fields
This would allow you to add your "Category Name French" and "Description French" fields to each category and have them editable in the Control Panel.
.
I use category parents to group the individual categories, you can then easily output the required categories based on language, either via the parameter "category_group". You can then use all the default category fields and custom ones.
Basically:
English
-- category 1 (in English)
-- category 2 (in English)
-- category 3 (in English)
French
-- category 1 (in French)
-- category 2 (in French)
-- category 3 (in French)
I believe the accepted best practice for multi-lingual sites in EE2 is to use the commercial add-on Transcribe. http://eeharbor.com/transcribe
The easiest solution around bilingual categories is writing the name of the second language category in the category description input field and then use {category_description} as the name tag for that language. That is not useful if you need a description for both languages though.
this might work for you:
I haven't used EE2.0, but in EE 1.X you could create custom category fields.
Create a "{fr_category_description}" for instance
then have a read at this tutorial - http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Multi_language_site_alternative/
I implemented this on an english/welsh website and it worked very nicely
URLs look like site.com/COUNTRY_CODE/template_group/template and serve content based on this.
works by assigning a variable based on the country, then within your templates you can do:
<h1>{{country_code}_my_field}</h1>
which will translate to:
<h1>{en_my_field}</h1> for site.com/en/ or <h1>{fr_my_field}</h1> for site.com/fr
you just need to create fields with the country code as a prepended and you're good to go.
let me know if you need any clarification, can provide code from my live site.
