WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en-US 00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:14.560 Hello, this is Franck from Sitolog. So today, I'm not 00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:20.200 going to cover a classic tutorial, it's more of a method. The method for creating a new catalog from scratch 00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:27.000 . So we're not going to go into every detail, every technical aspect, 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:32.400 every option of each tool. For that, I'll refer you more to the 00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:37.720 tutorials dedicated to these tools. For example, I've used Magic Edit several times, but I 00:00:37.720 --> 00:00:43.440 'm not going to explain how to use Magic Edit in the slightest detail. For that, 00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.320 go see the Magic Edit tutorial. So we're going to create a new catalog as if, well, 00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.240 you were starting from a blank sheet of paper. So here, I'm starting with an installation of a 00:00:53.240 --> 00:01:01.480 Prestathop 1.7 from memory. That's it, 1.72 in which I've already created four stores 00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:07.360 in two different store groups. I've also installed French and English. 00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:14.000 So we're in multilingual mode and then, uh, during installation, well, Prestashop 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.960 installed women's and men's categories by default, and I had to create a 00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:26.960 promotion category for a previous tutorial. So if I really wanted to start from scratch, I would have to start 00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:34.320 by, for example, selecting everything, going to my products, displaying them, and deleting them. 00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:39.840 So there, I display all my products, I do all, I do group action, and I click on 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:44.440 delete. That deletes all my products, my combinations, and everything that goes with them. Well, I 00:01:44.440 --> 00:01:47.240 'm not going to do that because I'd like to keep the products for a car, but basically, you 00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:51.120 can start by doing that. Once you've deleted all your products, you go back 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:57.360 to your category and there you select all the categories below the home page. 00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:03.120 You check that you have the recursive button pressed, which means 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:08.880 that the subcategories of this one are also selected. Do group action, delete, and we 00:02:08.880 --> 00:02:13.280 no longer have any categories. We're starting with a really, let's say, blank site. So once 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.760 that's done, let's imagine that here in home, I want to create my 00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:23.560 category structure first before creating my products. So for this example, we're going to start with 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:28.520 a car parts sales site. So we're going to sell parts for different 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:33.480 brands, Peugeot, Citroën, Renault and we're going to sell body parts, brakes, 00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:39.560 engines, engine parts and so on. And then also special parts for each 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:45.400 model. So we're going to have different levels of hierarchy to create. What I'm 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:50.000 proposing is to create categories for the brands Peugeot, Citroën, Renault in which 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.240 we're going to create categories like body or brake and then the car models, 00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:00.160 we're going to manage them through the characteristics of the products and not through categories. So 00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:04.920 we start by taking home. We're going to create so we have the first level of category so Peugeot, 00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:12.080 Citroën, Renault. So for that, I click on new here opposite home and I'm going 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:21.000 to ask it for three categories. So I put three here. This is the field that allows me to create 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:28.520 names, uh, to build names if you want. So I can, for example, put a 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:36.880 generic name like category. A hyphen, uh, followed by the name of the store with something else, 00:03:36.880 --> 00:03:41.920 blah, blah, uh, the name of the category itself which is added, then the identifier. Finally, we can build 00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:45.840 quite complicated things like that. Well, I'm going to make it much simpler. I'm just going 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:54.880 to put nothing at all at the beginning. I'm just going to put "voila" category with the identifier at the end. 00:03:54.880 --> 00:04:00.240 So, I'm going to ask it to put the same value as the final name in my title tag. 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:05.200 Well, it's not really necessary, come on, I'm not doing it. And associate only with the default store 00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:10.120 or associate with all stores. So, I'm in multi-store, here, I only have one 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.840 selected, but I would like to create my structure in all my stores. So, 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.880 I would like to work identically. At this point, I will check this to work in 00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:24.120 all four stores at the same time. Important, I can ask him from the start to associate my 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.760 categories to my different customer groups. So that's interesting, it avoids having to do it 00:04:28.760 --> 00:04:35.240 later. So I'm going to leave this option checked. I can activate or not activate 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:40.160 the new categories from the start. I advise you not to do that. It's better to activate them en masse 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:48.560 at the end when everything is filled in. And there you go. So I have my number 3 and I create it. So 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:54.040 that's sent to Pressashop. It's Pressashop that does the creation. I click OK, it's finished. 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:59.160 And normally, here we have our three categories that have been created. Category 41, 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:07.400 42, 43. So, right away, after doing that, in fact, I select one and I go to the 00:05:07.400 --> 00:05:13.320 category sheet and I display the data for this category. Why? Because right away, 00:05:13.320 --> 00:05:17.160 I'm going to change the names of my categories and I'm going to use this. So, I could do it 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:23.000 in the table at the top like this. I can very well edit here and call this one Peugeot. 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:29.880 That works too, but I actually prefer to come here and work in the form for this 00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:35.640 part. In fact, I use the form for names and descriptions and possibly 00:05:35.640 --> 00:05:42.480 fields, and you'll see that the fields are a little smarter. So here, I enter 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:48.880 the name of my first category. I make sure I'm in automatic save mode. I 00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:54.680 click next. It automatically saves my modification. It comes to the second. There, 00:05:54.680 --> 00:06:04.240 I type the name of my second category. I click next, I type the name of my third. 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:09.520 There you go. I can also work on my translations at the same time as I do that. So 00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:13.240 all I have to do is switch to the previous language or the next language. So here I 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:19.880 go from French to English. So in English it's also called Renault. Well, at the same time, 00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:24.560 you're going to tell me the name of the category, translate it from Renault to Renault, it doesn't 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.120 really make sense. It's the same thing. Citroë will be the same, Peugeot will be the same. So 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:32.280 to translate the names, actually I'm not going to do it there, I'm going to do it here in the translation 00:06:32.280 --> 00:06:37.200 category. I think it's more relevant. So I go here in the translation category. There 00:06:37.200 --> 00:06:41.240 I see that I have prefilters. Only show translations of the selected stores. No, 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:46.080 I'm going to remove it. I'm going to work in all the stores. I display and there 00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:53.840 I see the translation of my name possibly my simplified also of my Renault category 00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:58.320 in the different languages ​​and different stores. Here you have the store number, 00:06:58.320 --> 00:07:05.040 here you have the language and you see that well obviously it was called 443 in all these 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:11.480 stores and all these translations. So, to fill in all these translations directly, 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:16.680 just right-click where I wrote Renault. So, you don't see it, it's 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:22.040 at the very bottom. It's called pasting Renault in the entire column. So, I click and it tells me 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:28.080 that it will copy Renault there, the yellow cell in the dark gray cells. I continue. And there you go, 00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:33.000 it's finished, it's translated. I have the same name everywhere. So, I can do that on Citroën too. 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:40.240 I click on Citroën here, I click here. Citroën, copy Citroën everywhere. Continue and 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:52.400 that's it. While I'm at it, Peugeot. So I made a bit of a Big Mac earlier. 00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:57.960 Copy and paste. 00:07:57.960 --> 00:08:03.440 That's it, that's it for the translations, at least for the names. I'm going back to my in my 00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:09.440 form here and I'm going to this time it's going to be difficult to do otherwise than type 00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:15.520 by hand but I'm going to enter my description. This is a category et cetera. Type what 00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:27.360 you want. Okay. We're going to be a little more specific. Spare part of the 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:33.160 Peugeot brand. 00:08:33.160 --> 00:08:37.120 And then I'm going to do the same thing with my tab. 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:46.040 So part, 00:08:46.040 --> 00:08:57.320 excuse me for my English, that's probably not how we say it. It's placement part. 00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:04.960 So there you go. So there, I translated and I entered a description for a category. I'm going back 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:10.040 to my French. So, I'm going to have to do the same thing in my different brands. So, 00:09:10.040 --> 00:09:12.560 I can do different things, well, I can do different ways. I can do 00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:18.080 a copy-paste selection. Okay, but I can also be a little smarter. 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:24.760 There, I see that I have my description here. I can very well copy it onto my three lines 00:09:24.760 --> 00:09:30.840 here and then replace the word Peugeot with something else. That's useful if you have a lot 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.800 of brands. So here, I'm doing it for three, 00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:40.880 it may not seem relevant, but if you have about fifty brands, you'll see that you'll save time. So I can do it here, 00:09:40.880 --> 00:09:44.360 but here I'm only going to do it in one language if I do it at the top. So I'll do it again 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:49.560 in the translation concept. In fact, I'm going to select my 00:09:49.560 --> 00:09:59.240 three categories in all languages, in all stores. And here, you see, I have 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:07.440 my description. So, I'm going to copy this description in French into the three categories 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:13.400 in French. So, I'm going to filter on the language. So, I'm doing a pre-filter. I'm going to remove display 00:10:13.400 --> 00:10:18.840 all languages. There, I only have French. So French, why? Because it's my 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:26.560 language that I chose here. So I only have French. Here I take my value Peugeot detached 00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:32.560 and so on. Peugeot spare part. I right-click. Still the same, it's at the very bottom. 00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:39.680 And I copy everything. So there I have I copied this everywhere. So there's just the word Peugeot that 00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:47.560 I don't like since there we have Peugeot. There we have Renault and so on. That was Citroën. So 00:10:47.560 --> 00:10:54.120 I just have to replace the word Peugeot with the word Citroën. So here we can do it here with Magic 00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:00.080 Edit. For example, I'm going to select so I don't know which category I'm in anymore that 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:05.760 I'm in 41. We're going to take Renault. So Renault is 42. I'm going to take this one. 00:11:06.920 --> 00:11:11.800 I'm going to select all my lines here. I'm going to right-click and I'm going to launch, 00:11:11.800 --> 00:11:15.520 you don't see it either, a tool called Magic Edit in all the 00:11:15.520 --> 00:11:21.720 selected cells. So here, I'm running Magic Edit only on these cells. I'm 00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:27.800 not going to delete, I'm not going to add, I'm just going to search for replace. And with Magic Edit, 00:11:27.800 --> 00:11:34.600 I'm going to tell it to look for Peugeot and replace it with Renault. 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:43.560 I'm going to apply. It didn't find it. I must have mistyped it. I'm going to cancel. Sorry, I forgot 00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:49.000 to check here. There. So it can't find it. Apply. There. Four operations done. 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:59.760 Save and it's done. I'm doing the same thing here. I take these four cells. Right click. Magic 00:11:59.760 --> 00:12:06.280 Edit. In the selected cells, I'm replacing Peugeot this time with, so it must 00:12:06.280 --> 00:12:14.560 be Citroën. I apply, I save, it's done. There. And of course, I can do this for the 00:12:14.560 --> 00:12:19.120 description, I can do this for the metal titles, the meta descriptions, in fact, all the 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:25.680 text columns. So very quickly, we can fill in our descriptions, 00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:32.280 our names, in fact all our SEO fields and customize them according to the categories. So, 00:12:32.280 --> 00:12:35.800 in the same way, I'm now going to create subcategories in Peugeot, Renault and 00:12:35.800 --> 00:12:39.880 Citroën. But I'm not going to do it three times, I'm going to do it once. I'm going to do it in 00:12:39.880 --> 00:12:44.640 Peugeot and then I'm going to duplicate my three subcategories in Renault and Citroën. So, 00:12:44.640 --> 00:12:49.160 I select Peugeot and I start again. I create three subcategories. I give them 00:12:49.160 --> 00:12:55.960 a translation, a name, and so on. So I do that and I'll come back to you in a moment. There you go, 00:12:55.960 --> 00:13:00.800 3 minutes later. I created three categories in Peugeot: bodywork, 00:13:00.800 --> 00:13:04.920 brake, engine. I gave them a description of the type body part, brake part, 00:13:04.920 --> 00:13:11.120 engine part. Then, I went to category translation. I displayed by 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:16.280 selecting these three lines and I copied this line here into these four. This one 00:13:16.280 --> 00:13:21.920 into these four. Same for the other three, the same for the names. And so, 00:13:21.920 --> 00:13:26.800 I ended up with my three categories documented in two different languages ​​in 00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:33.600 four different stores. Very good. Now that I've done that, 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:38.000 what do we see? What? Sorry, what do we notice? Excuse me. We notice 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:45.480 that we haven't yet filled in the fields and the jumps like meta description and title tags. 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:51.400 So, a fairly common technique that allows you to go very quickly is to not 00:13:51.400 --> 00:13:58.840 Take the lead and copy the category name into the title list and 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.360 the description into the meta description. Often, we put the same thing as a value or almost. So, I might as well do 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:10.640 that and do it quickly. So, for that, I select all my categories. So, 00:14:10.640 --> 00:14:15.880 this is to be done in my opinion at the end, eh, when we're really finished. But I can do it here 00:14:15.880 --> 00:14:24.040 to show you. I go to my column, for example, meta description. I right-click. 00:14:24.040 --> 00:14:30.760 I launch Magic Edit once again in all the selected cells. And this time, 00:14:30.760 --> 00:14:36.040 I don't want to use search and replace, I'm going to use the column copy tool. Add the 00:14:36.040 --> 00:14:41.200 contents of another column line by line. There you go. So I take that and remember, 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:51.400 I want to copy my description into my meta descriptions. So here I choose description. 00:14:51.400 --> 00:14:55.200 This is to choose as it appears on the screen, etc. It doesn't matter here 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:59.560 for the operation we perform in front or at the end, it won't change much and I don't put 00:14:59.560 --> 00:15:06.680 an opening separator and I apply. It tells me that it has performed six operations and 00:15:06.680 --> 00:15:14.200 you see in my meta description retrieved my category description. I save closed. This 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:19.520 time I do exactly the same thing in my column balist title. Right click magic edit. 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.920 add the continue other columns. And this time, I'm going to take the name of my category. 00:15:23.920 --> 00:15:30.840 I apply, I check anyway before saving. That's it. I save, we won't talk about it anymore. There you go. 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:35.920 Like that, in a few moments, you will be able to fill your different columns which are, let's 00:15:35.920 --> 00:15:41.720 say, which accept identical content. Then, what are we going to do? Well, we're going to take 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:48.960 these three categories here, our tree structure and we're going to duplicate it in Renault and in Citroën. 00:15:49.760 --> 00:15:55.040 Why? How are we going to do that? So, it will be done here in the target category. So, I click 00:15:55.040 --> 00:15:59.240 on this tab, we might move it. So, I click on the box here to have 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:08.680 more space. I go down in my tree structure. Here, I have my two categories called target, 00:16:08.680 --> 00:16:15.280 Peugeot and Citroën. This is the one I want to copy something in. Here on the left, I 00:16:15.280 --> 00:16:20.640 select my categories called source. This is the one I want to copy and I use the 00:16:20.640 --> 00:16:25.960 button, don't make a mistake, which allows you to duplicate. So this one allows you to move and this one 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:31.600 allows you to duplicate. So there you go, I click here. So I have duplication options that 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:36.160 appear. I don't know if I can move it. I can't show you everything. I'm sorry. I ca 00:16:36.160 --> 00:16:42.760 n't move it. So we'll do it like this. Don't move. Hop. There you go. At least, 00:16:42.760 --> 00:16:48.480 I can show you some of it. So we'll leave the options as they are by 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:53.960 default, especially the first one. Here it's a recommended one, I'll leave it too. It will copy 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:58.920 to all the stores. I can duplicate different things at the same time as I 00:16:58.920 --> 00:17:03.760 duplicate my category. So customer group associations. Yes, I'll leave it. 00:17:03.760 --> 00:17:07.840 Product visibility. So I can leave that unchecked. I haven't created any products yet. Otherwise, 00:17:07.840 --> 00:17:14.080 if I wanted the products to be copied at the same time, I'll check this option. 00:17:14.080 --> 00:17:18.320 Discounts, so I don't have any for now, so I'll remove them. Scene assignments, 00:17:18.320 --> 00:17:22.680 I don't have any either, so I'll remove them. I'll save time. We don't really care about statuses 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:27.680 . And then the last thing in the database is the photos. So, I forgot, we haven't 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:31.400 taken the photos yet, let's say. Maybe I could have taken them before cloning. That way, we'll 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:34.560 save even more time because, yes, maybe we want to put the same photos in 00:17:34.560 --> 00:17:43.760 these three categories. So, it's the last option down there. Anyway, I'm cloning. 00:17:43.760 --> 00:17:49.320 There, that's it. There, I just recentered the screen. Now, if I go down here, 00:17:49.320 --> 00:17:57.760 we can clearly see that in Renault and in Citroën, I have identical clones of bodywork, 00:17:57.760 --> 00:18:06.440 brakes and engine here and the same ones again here. So, let's imagine that you have about 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:12.280 fifty brands, well, in one click, you will duplicate your three categories, or even more. 00:18:12.280 --> 00:18:15.720 Because this was just an example, but you could have about ten categories in 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:21.160 each brand. So duplicate them in the other brands. And you could have done that too for 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:25.000 a more complex tree structure. That is to say, here I only have one level, but if in bodywork 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:30.280 I had subcategories, well, when I duplicate bodywork, it also duplicates the 00:18:30.280 --> 00:18:35.200 subcategories and the sub-subcategories, in fact, the entire branch. So the idea is to create 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:41.080 a branch only once, regardless of the level, the number of levels, excuse me, and then 00:18:41.080 --> 00:18:46.320 duplicate it as many times as necessary in the other parts of your tree structure. 00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:53.680 And if ever, for example, in the descriptions or the metadescription, you used the name 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.880 of the brand, for example, instead of having marked here bodywork part, 00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:03.080 I had marked bodywork part of the Peugeot brand. At that point, you'll use Magic 00:19:03.080 --> 00:19:10.560 Edit in the other brands to replace the word Peugeot with, for example, the word 00:19:10.560 --> 00:19:15.520 Renault in this column and then in the other column here. We just saw that I forgot to 00:19:15.520 --> 00:19:19.680 process the photos. I should have done it before, it would have been more efficient, right? I could have 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:25.000 associated a bodywork photo with my bodywork category, with that of a brake for the brakes, 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:30.040 a brake, an engine photo for the engines. And then when I duplicate my categories, 00:19:30.040 --> 00:19:33.720 well, the photos can be duplicated with it. But that's okay, we can do it after 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.400 and we can do it in bulk. The whole point of Merlin is that you have different methods 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.440 and great flexibility to work with. So for example, let's suppose that I now associate 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:47.480 a bodywork photo or a headlight, for example, with my bodywork category, therefore with this one, but I 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:52.920 would also like to have it in the other brands. So for that, I'm going to select all my 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.680 bodywork categories, but I'm not going to do it manually, I'm going to do it automatically, 00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:01.160 especially if I have about fifty. So for that, I right-click and I'm going to use a 00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:06.040 very important Merlin function called filtered selection. This allows me to 00:20:06.040 --> 00:20:13.600 automatically select all the categories or all the products according to a filter of your choice. So 00:20:13.600 --> 00:20:17.920 my filter can be of different types, equal, contains, etc. So equal works very 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:25.360 well for me. Equal because that's the word I clicked on. I validate. So there, all my 00:20:25.360 --> 00:20:30.600 bodywork-type categories are selected. I just have to associate the same 00:20:30.600 --> 00:20:39.600 photo with them now. So for that, I go to my category image tab and here I'm going to drag the photo 00:20:39.600 --> 00:20:45.000 I want to associate. So I open my file explorer. There, I take a photo. For example, 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:55.520 this one, it's not that one. There, this one. I take it and I drag it. So Merlin 00:20:55.520 --> 00:21:00.160 has prepared a list of files for me to send. In fact, since it's the same photo three times, 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.040 it's only going to send it to me once. So we'll save time. But above all, it's going to associate it with my 00:21:04.040 --> 00:21:12.640 three categories here 44 50. There you go. So I just have to send it by clicking on the send button. Here 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:17.040 the transfer is done. So the image is sent once. Then for the other two 00:21:17.040 --> 00:21:22.840 lines, there's simply an association that is made. When it's finished, here we see the 00:21:22.840 --> 00:21:27.480 little new logo that appeared if you were already in display mode. Otherwise, you click 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:33.400 on display and you can see the three photos associated with my three body categories. 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.960 And what's more, you can replace a photo, right? Just drag a photo over 00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:47.760 another, whether it's here, sorry, directly here, I take another photo, I can 00:21:47.760 --> 00:21:55.880 replace it. Or the same in the category sheet. Here, if I take a photo, I drag it here, it 00:21:55.880 --> 00:22:02.640 asks me if I'm going to replace it or not. There you go. So before moving on to creating the products, 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:09.280 there's one last thing to deal with, which is the simplified URL. Here, we still have the simplified URLs 00:22:09.280 --> 00:22:13.800 that were created by Merlin when I created the categories. So, for that, there's a technique 00:22:13.800 --> 00:22:18.080 Quite simple, but I'm going to show it to you in two different ways. So, the first way 00:22:18.080 --> 00:22:25.320 is to select all the categories here and then go to group action and click on 00:22:25.320 --> 00:22:30.840 rebuild URL. And there, it will offer me to do it in the current language or in all 00:22:30.840 --> 00:22:35.760 languages. Okay, that's great, we'll do it in all languages. However, you'll see, it 00:22:35.760 --> 00:22:42.040 's still incomplete because although I have my simplified URL that appears here and seems correct, 00:22:42.040 --> 00:22:48.360 if I go to translation category and I display all my translations for all the stores, 00:22:48.360 --> 00:22:53.800 I realize that my URL here, you see, it's only good in one store, only 00:22:53.800 --> 00:22:59.800 in store one, because currently, I'm only working in store one. So, 00:22:59.800 --> 00:23:05.360 I could do as I showed you earlier, namely take my value here, 00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:10.760 select my lines, copy, select this one, select the lines, copy and 00:23:10.760 --> 00:23:16.360 so on. Okay, however, it's a bit long. So, I wanted to show you another 00:23:16.360 --> 00:23:23.200 alternative technique that saves even more time. So, it consists of selecting 00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:30.800 all the stores in the shops like this and clicking on multi-store modification here. And 00:23:30.800 --> 00:23:37.720 then, I link the categories. So here, we will work in a particular mode where we have 00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:42.040 our categories that are displayed in the same way, but when we make a modification in 00:23:42.040 --> 00:23:46.640 one of them or several of them, at that moment, the modifications will be filled, 00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:51.200 will be made in all the stores that I have selected here. So there, it's all of them but 00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:55.720 it may have any selection of stores. So I will do the same operation. 00:23:56.280 --> 00:24:02.360 Select all my categories or only the one I want to modify of course. I do a 00:24:02.360 --> 00:24:07.680 group action rebuild the URL in all languages ​​and there I know that I am really working 00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:11.600 in all the languages ​​of all the stores. So if I go to categorical translation, I 00:24:11.600 --> 00:24:18.560 do display, I go back to my categories. You see now I have my simplified URLs 00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:23.800 , but it's not this one where they are, here to search for my Renault Peugeot categories, etc. 00:24:23.800 --> 00:24:32.280 You see, I have simplified them in all languages, in all stores. So, 00:24:32.280 --> 00:24:37.200 after completing this first part of the tutorial, I realized 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.440 that there was actually a much simpler method that I 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:46.880 would like to show you now when you are in multi-store mode. This method consists of not creating your categories or your products by 00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:54.920 selecting all the stores, but creating them in only one of the stores. Then, in 00:24:54.920 --> 00:24:59.880 a second step, when the categories are created, activating these products or these categories 00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:05.160 in the other stores. So we're going to do an example. I'm going to come back to my category. 00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:09.760 So here, I've selected only one store. I'll come back. So, we're going to reread 00:25:09.760 --> 00:25:17.880 the first level. I'm going to reselect one of the categories, for example Peugeot 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:24.240 , and I create my category. So, as before, new, say association only 00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:28.360 to the default store of the parent category. That's what's important for the category 00:25:28.360 --> 00:25:36.080 to be created, that in my category one, I give it a name. Okay, SIMK pieces, a 00:25:36.080 --> 00:25:42.520 brand that no longer exists. We're going to create a single category. I'm going to try to go fairly quickly. I 00:25:42.520 --> 00:25:54.080 'm going to create. There you go, my category is created somewhere here. Simka, I just have to, let's say 00:25:54.080 --> 00:26:02.080 personalize it, eh, change its name to French, to English. We're going to enter a description. 00:26:02.080 --> 00:26:07.400 I'll quickly fill in its SEO field, its simplified URL. You do, you can 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:13.160 also do it here, eh. So it fills the field from the name from this button. Then 00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:18.480 when you've finished filling in your data in store one, you just have to come 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:23.200 here and check either category by category, or in bulk, we can do it on several 00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:27.120 nil at the same time. So check in the stores in which you want the 00:26:27.120 --> 00:26:31.360 product to exist as well. For example, you want it to exist in the 3rd. Okay, let's say all of them. 00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:39.000 So I'm going to check them all. And at that point, when you check, you associate the category 00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:43.880 or the product with the stores. In fact, the data from store one, which is the default store 00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:48.280 defined here, will be copied to the other stores. And so, you don't need, as 00:26:48.280 --> 00:26:52.400 I showed you before, to work in all the stores at the same time, and so on, to 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:57.120 find sometimes somewhat complicated techniques to do this work. You work 00:26:57.120 --> 00:27:01.840 in a single store, and when everything is finished, you make the association. So, what 00:27:01.840 --> 00:27:06.000 is copied from one store to the others when you click on the association? Well, 00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:11.960 that's defined in the control panel here in the tab called association. Here, 00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:18.080 you see, when associating a product, copy the following data. So there, you 00:27:18.080 --> 00:27:23.560 define everything that is copied from store one to the others for the products, and then 00:27:23.560 --> 00:27:29.040 you have the same thing for the categories when associating a category with a store. 00:27:29.040 --> 00:27:33.760 So here, you don't really have a choice, but it's checked by default. Copy the description, 00:27:33.760 --> 00:27:38.880 URL, name, photos, etc., and you can also unlink. So when you unlink, 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:45.480 you can also configure what is removed from the store, uh, associates, 00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:50.320 for example, here for the products. There you go. So there, simply by checking, normally my 00:27:50.320 --> 00:27:53.560 product exists in all the stores with the same data. We can go check 00:27:53.560 --> 00:27:57.720 here, for example, in category. So for that, I first need to select all the 00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:03.680 stores. What I'm going to show you is that the product exists everywhere now. 00:28:06.320 --> 00:28:15.000 Not the product, the category, excuse me, the SIMK category, where is it Peugeot? 00:28:18.800 --> 00:28:22.520 So here we have the different stores with the different languages, and you can see 00:28:22.520 --> 00:28:27.760 that all the data, the name, the fields are filled in in my four stores 00:28:27.760 --> 00:28:32.800 simply with an association click, so a fairly significant time saving in this case. 00:28:32.800 --> 00:28:36.440 So that works for the categories but also for the products. We're 00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:43.720 now going to create the products. So I go to product view. In my control panel, 00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:48.680 I'm going to start by putting myself in multi-store mode like this, which allows me to 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:51.560 create products in all the stores at the same time. And especially when I make a 00:28:51.560 --> 00:28:56.400 modification, well, it will be taken into account everywhere thanks to this 00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:00.640 multi-store modification option. So, once again, this saves time in this type of context. 00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:03.840 If you want to differentiate your products by store, you take only one at a 00:29:03.840 --> 00:29:09.280 time or two and then there you go, you work by group of common stores. Then, 00:29:09.280 --> 00:29:14.320 all I have to do is choose in which category I want to create my products. Let's suppose that I want 00:29:14.320 --> 00:29:19.280 to create several products in my bodywork, brake, etc. categories. Well, I 00:29:19.280 --> 00:29:24.560 might select them. Select several at once. So, I'm going to take these three. 00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:34.040 I go to my product view, my product table and I have a button here called new. And this 00:29:34.040 --> 00:29:38.440 new button allows me to specify the number of products I want to create. If, for example, 00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:43.120 I create four, it actually tells me that I have three categories selected. 00:29:43.120 --> 00:29:50.080 So it will create a total of 12 products for me. And then here I will specify the parameters 00:29:50.080 --> 00:29:53.880 for creating my products. So we will save time, we will do it in a nutshell. 00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:58.520 For example, I can choose a brand for them, I can choose a supplier for them, I can 00:29:58.520 --> 00:30:03.520 already give them a purchase price, a weight. So, you will not fill everything out, not it is necessary, 00:30:03.520 --> 00:30:08.640 but often at least you will define the tax rate here and the tax rule group for 00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:14.040 example 1%. You will define whether the prices are visible or not, whether the product is orderable 00:30:14.040 --> 00:30:19.960 or not. Visibility is often in both and so on. You can define a 00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:25.320 stock from the start, an availability date if necessary. There you go. So quite a few 00:30:25.320 --> 00:30:30.360 basic parameters that will be filled out once and for all, once and for all, excuse me, 00:30:30.360 --> 00:30:36.120 will be filled in upstream. You won't need to fill it in afterward. The most important 00:30:36.120 --> 00:30:39.080 parameter is this one. Do you want the products to be activated 00:30:39.080 --> 00:30:43.920 as soon as they are created or later? I often advise you to uncheck activate so that 00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:49.560 you create the products and only activate them en masse at the end of your creation process. 00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:58.040 Here you have three fields with options to fill in the name column and to 00:30:58.040 --> 00:31:02.880 give your products a name built from several pieces of information. So you have three 00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:08.080 free fields: start, end, middle, and end of your string. You can include the brand in 00:31:08.080 --> 00:31:14.400 the name. You can include the category name in the product name, as well as its ID. 00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:18.680 So we'll stick with something fairly basic. I'll mark prod with a 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:28.040 dash. and then its number after it. There you go. And then I create my products. 00:31:28.040 --> 00:31:32.400 So it creates my 12 products. 00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:37.960 Here it flashes to tell me that the table needs to be refreshed. I refresh. I've put 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:43.760 12 products that have been created. So of course, a lot of things are missing, eh, I haven't specified 00:31:43.760 --> 00:31:49.120 much so far, but here, I'm going to work in the same way as the method 00:31:49.120 --> 00:31:52.800 I showed you for creating products. That is to say, I'm going to take my first product, 00:31:52.800 --> 00:31:59.880 I'm going to go to the file, I'm going to activate the display and then there, well, I'm going to modify 00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:07.200 its name blah blah. I'm going to work finally I'm going to activate the automatic saving to move on to the 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:14.160 next product. change its name. Maybe before finally working like that name by name, 00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:19.880 I'm also going to product by product in fact type a name and at the same time I'm going to enter my 00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:26.080 summary so in the HTML editor that you have there. So I remind you that this editor is 00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:34.320 the CK editor which is a famous editor made for the web that we integrated into Merlin. And 00:32:34.320 --> 00:32:40.600 this editor here is customizable. So here, you have by default the full version which is 00:32:40.600 --> 00:32:47.680 which is activated. And if you go to the control panel, put all that in display. Here, 00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:52.240 you see that you can switch to simpler versions of the editor. You have the 00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:59.400 standard version with a lot fewer options but already some pretty useful tools. You can 00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:04.400 already do formatting and so on. A lot of practical stuff, and then here's a basic version. 00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:09.720 So if you work, for example, with subcontractors or interns, 00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:14.200 I don't know, and you want to give them a really basic tool to enter your descriptions or 00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:18.520 modify them, you can configure the editor in this mode. I still recommend that you 00:33:18.520 --> 00:33:22.440 work in the full version of the HTML editor. Why? Because in 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:30.800 the full version, excuse me. Here, in the full version, we have access to the CSS. 00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:41.360 CSS of your page. So, I don't really have any, but the CSS or the styles, 00:33:41.360 --> 00:33:46.920 if you prefer, the style sheets, uh, that's what allows your website 00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:51.760 to stand out from the others. So you will be able to directly view your texts, 00:33:51.760 --> 00:33:59.160 your descriptions, your summaries here, really with exactly the same look as on your real site. 00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:03.320 Also know that it is important that you have a source button here which 00:34:03.320 --> 00:34:09.000 allows you to view the content in two different formats. In fact, in the default format, 00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:15.960 if for example I put a title tag here, well we have what is called wick, 00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:21.800 that is to say that we see on the screen the effect of the formatting. When we are in source mode, 00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:27.400 at that moment, what we see is the HTML code with the tags. So that is interesting 00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:31.120 especially if for example you copy and paste from internet pages or from an 00:34:31.120 --> 00:34:36.360 HTML editor and you directly retrieve raw code at that moment you will come here in 00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:41.160 source mode to do your pasting eh. If you paste it here in Wiwig mode, you risk 00:34:41.160 --> 00:34:44.720 having some weird things and your tags which are not taken into account. So depending on the 00:34:44.720 --> 00:34:50.800 format of the imported text, I would say, switch to source mode, or on the contrary, stay in Wiwick mode. 00:34:51.560 --> 00:34:56.280 And so as for the categories, well, you're going to use, you're going to mix, 00:34:56.280 --> 00:35:03.120 the use of the tab sheet here or the translation table which also exists here for the products 00:35:03.120 --> 00:35:08.360 to display your translations of your different products in the different stores, in 00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:15.560 the different languages ​​and enter your URLs, your meta descriptions, your meta keywords if you want, 00:35:15.560 --> 00:35:19.680 the names and so on and especially copy and paste. So you're going to work in 00:35:19.680 --> 00:35:25.360 bulk to avoid doing the same thing again, for example, between stores and then differentiate 00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:33.720 your content according to your languages. So either here, or I come back to the tab sheet here 00:35:33.720 --> 00:35:39.440 with the next language, previous language button which allows you to switch from one language to another, 00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:47.480 to save the content at the same time and therefore to enter your translations. So, when 00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:53.400 you've filled in your names and summaries in the different languages, you're going to save a lot 00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:58.600 of time. It's like for the categories, you're probably going to want to duplicate 00:35:58.600 --> 00:36:08.520 in your columns, uh taglist, title and meta summary, meta description, excuse me. There you go. 00:36:08.520 --> 00:36:12.680 Uh, so in meta description, you're going to take the summary and you're going to copy it into 00:36:12.680 --> 00:36:17.640 meta description and you're going to take the product name to copy it into the title tag. There we 00:36:17.640 --> 00:36:21.520 're really going to save a lot of time with that. So I remind you of the technique, it's simple. 00:36:21.520 --> 00:36:29.240 For example, you put it in meta description, you right-click, you launch Magic Edit. 00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:33.160 So either in the entire column, or on only certain lines. So here, I'm going 00:36:33.160 --> 00:36:38.560 to do it in the entire column. In Magic Edit, you choose the tool to add the content of another 00:36:38.560 --> 00:36:45.200 column. You choose the original content. So I want to take my summary from meta 00:36:45.200 --> 00:36:50.920 descriptions. So here, I choose summary. Going to do the opposite, eh, to confuse you. 00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:54.960 summary, display in front, etc. with the default settings, it's fine. 00:36:54.960 --> 00:37:00.040 And you apply and so on all my lines, when I have a summary that has been created, 00:37:00.040 --> 00:37:07.640 it will be copied into my mion and if you like it, you save and then you do the same thing so 00:37:07.640 --> 00:37:14.240 from the product name to the title tag. So right-click in title tag and you start again 00:37:14.240 --> 00:37:20.400 with the difference, is that here you choose the name. There you go. So often after creating our 00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:25.400 basic elements, name, summary, description, what we do is we work on the 00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:30.800 visibility of the products. So visibility is also the notion of association. That is to say that for 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:37.320 example these products here these three products that I created, we select all three. 00:37:38.120 --> 00:37:43.640 If I come here in my target category tab and I click on see association, 00:37:43.640 --> 00:37:50.200 well I will be able to see here in secondary columns that these three products are associated 00:37:50.200 --> 00:37:53.800 with the bodywork category. This is normal, I created them in this bodywork. In this 00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:59.680 category, eh, it's both their default category in all stores and at the same 00:37:59.680 --> 00:38:04.720 time a category in which these products are visible in the store. But it's quite 00:38:04.720 --> 00:38:08.880 possible that your Peugeot bodywork products here, you would also like them to be 00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:12.640 visible in the Peugeot category and maybe even in the homepage. Well, at that point, 00:38:12.640 --> 00:38:19.240 just select them, sorry, not all of them but just homepage and Peugeot with a control and 00:38:19.240 --> 00:38:26.000 come and click here there or there to automatically associate your products with these two other categories 00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:32.280 while keeping them visible in the bodywork category. So quickly in bulk, you 00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:36.960 will be able to manage your associations between your new products and your different categories. 00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:45.600 The typical example for a car spare parts store is that sometimes 00:38:45.600 --> 00:38:50.520 certain parts are common to several brands. So let's imagine that this product is 00:38:50.520 --> 00:38:57.240 part of the Peugeot bodywork. So maybe it's not relevant for 00:38:57.240 --> 00:39:03.040 a bodywork part. This one, sorry, these two products. So, these are then there is one 00:39:03.040 --> 00:39:10.000 which is an engine part, the other a brake part. Uh and maybe these parts uh 00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:14.560 They are also commonly used by Citroën because Peugeot and Citroën often, well, in fact, 00:39:14.560 --> 00:39:17.960 we know that it's the same brand, right, at the start, it's the same group. So there are 00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:21.760 common parts. Well, you can absolutely say, well, here, I select such and such 00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:28.800 a part, such and such a brake from my Peugeot brand and I also activate it in my Citroën category 00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:36.400 at the brake level because these are common parts. So, there is a second 00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:41.880 method for creating products other than the new button. We're going to close that. It's the 00:39:41.880 --> 00:39:48.600 duplication function. So you can very well start with, for example, a selection of products here 00:39:48.600 --> 00:39:55.200 from a given category, go to grouped action and here you have a duplicate function. And so 00:39:55.200 --> 00:40:00.240 this duplicate function will duplicate the selected products in their category, eh, 00:40:00.240 --> 00:40:06.080 in the same categories and you have a choice to decide if this should be the case in all 00:40:06.080 --> 00:40:11.680 the stores, in only the groups of stores that we have selected or only in 00:40:11.680 --> 00:40:16.280 all the stores that we have selected in the control panel. And finally you have the 00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:22.240 choice to duplicate the products with or without their images. Better, you can specify here the number 00:40:22.240 --> 00:40:28.640 of duplicaters. So I selected three products. If I put four here, in fact my three 00:40:28.640 --> 00:40:33.480 products will each be duplicated four times. So I will have a total of 12 products created at the same 00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:38.200 time. So it's very quick to duplicate a large number of products with this tool. And once 00:40:38.200 --> 00:40:44.880 you have duplicated, well all you have to do is customize them with the methods that we have seen. 00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:49.840 So once your products are created or duplicated, well you will start to use this time 00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:54.560 the mass modification tools to go faster. For example, if during creation 00:40:54.560 --> 00:41:00.360 you forgot to define a manufacturer for them, you select your products. You go, 00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:05.720 uh, in the manufacturer column here, you choose a manufacturer for one of them. 00:41:05.720 --> 00:41:09.680 If all these products must have the same manufacturer, I select them, I make a copy, 00:41:09.680 --> 00:41:15.040 that is to say, right-click, paste fashion here, this line there, paste fashion manufactur in 00:41:15.040 --> 00:41:18.440 all the selected cells of this column. The last line, it would have copied 00:41:18.440 --> 00:41:24.320 in the entire column. There you go. So quickly there, I fill in my manufacturers here. You can 00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:31.520 use the bulk modification tool which is here to, for example, fill in the prices quickly. 00:41:31.520 --> 00:41:37.040 Here I don't know my selling price I put all these products at 35 I highlight 35 00:41:37.040 --> 00:41:43.880 I choose my selling price I do equal it tells me what it will do as a modification 00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:51.400 I save and there it is my all my products are at 35 I will increase I can use the same 00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:58.720 thing I can do 10% increase on the selling price so + 10% and there we go so 00:41:58.720 --> 00:42:05.120 lots of tools like this you can also use the rounding function to round 00:42:05.120 --> 00:42:11.280 the prices here for example. So they are at 3850. I will round them to the nearest currency. I click here, 00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:16.520 I apply, it shows me the result. Oh sorry, yes, it was the selling price including tax 00:42:16.520 --> 00:42:22.480 that I rounded. So my selling price excluding tax, it is indeed at 3833. 00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:29.280 In addition to these calculation tools, you can use so we will we will hide it. You 00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:33.000 can use the tools for mass modification of texts. So Magic Edit, 00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:40.000 we have already seen it. And there it can go very far. Let's take the following example. You bought a 00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:45.520 series of barcodes from the barcode sales company. There's only one organization 00:42:45.520 --> 00:42:49.560 worldwide. I think it's called CGIS. So you bought a series 00:42:49.560 --> 00:42:53.960 of barcodes, you want to implement it in your Prestashop database, enter it, 00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:58.040 enter it, import it, or in fact you can use Merlin's barcode generator 00:42:58.040 --> 00:43:05.360 . So for that, you select, it's always the same, a list of products. 00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:12.960 You right-click, you launch Magic Edit in the selected cells and you go 00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:19.600 to the bottom. Here you have added a barcode. You know the left part that was assigned to you, 00:43:19.600 --> 00:43:28.240 so it's actually a code that is specific to your company. You know the first number here 00:43:28.240 --> 00:43:32.000 from the left part of the first number of the first barcode that you were given. For 00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:36.360 example this one. Then, it will increment from 1 to one in the majority of cases. It can be 00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:43.600 something else but often it's one by one. and you apply it. And there, you see, 00:43:43.600 --> 00:43:50.280 it filled my products with a series of barcodes that are completely compliant with the standard. 00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:55.840 It even calculated the control bit on the far right. So you have barcodes here that 00:43:55.840 --> 00:44:02.880 you can use on marketplaces with this method and you save if you like. 00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:05.840 So, there's still a little work to do. For example, our products that we just created, 00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:12.160 we didn't give them a photo. So at that point, you'll use the image variation tool, 00:44:12.160 --> 00:44:17.960 then here the image sub-tab and you'll use this tool to give them 00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:23.400 images. So of course, you could do it product by product, image by image and that's 00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:27.480 the manual method which can still be quite long. But I would 00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:33.720 then advise you to study, and there is a tutorial that explains this in detail. So, to study the 00:44:33.720 --> 00:44:39.200 automatic association mode, which is here, which allows you to search a local folder or 00:44:39.200 --> 00:44:46.840 a network for all the images in this folder to compare the name of the files in the folder with either 00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:51.640 the product name, the product ID, its reference, or the barcode itself, in order 00:44:51.640 --> 00:44:59.240 to have an automatic association, an automatic search for the images, uh, that go well for 00:44:59.240 --> 00:45:04.600 each of the products. So by using this type of method, by having a, how to say, a 00:45:04.600 --> 00:45:08.600 somewhat structured approach when you create your files, your photos, well, at that moment, you can 00:45:08.600 --> 00:45:12.640 make a completely automatic association of all your photos with all your products. So in 00:45:12.640 --> 00:45:16.880 a few seconds, you will have your entire list created. You select everything, 00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:22.320 you click on send, and Merlin will send your photos, create thumbnails, and all the 00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:27.080 work that is necessary on Prestash Shop in the background. So it will give you back control and 00:45:27.080 --> 00:45:31.320 while it transfers all the photos, you will be able to continue creating other products, 00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:35.200 sending other photos and so on. So no time wasted on processing photos with 00:45:35.200 --> 00:45:40.640 this tool. So for that, I refer you once again to the tutorial on images. Uh, I 00:45:40.640 --> 00:45:45.960 finished it very recently. Then, you will probably have other elements to create. 00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:51.320 For example, maybe your products will have variations. So if there are variations, 00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:56.240 well I advise you to use this variation generator. There too, there is a tutorial that 00:45:56.240 --> 00:46:01.280 we have just put online on this subject. So with the generator, you can create variations 00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:07.880 on lots of products at the same time. It is a multi-product generator. You will be able to create your 00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:14.200 links between products and your suppliers. You will be able to define specific prices, 00:46:14.200 --> 00:46:19.160 associate characteristics, define tags and so on. So at the beginning of the training, 00:46:19.160 --> 00:46:23.760 I told you, we're going to take the example of a car parts website and we're going to manage the 00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:30.120 models according to characteristics. So associate the parts with the different car models 00:46:30.120 --> 00:46:36.200 using the characteristics. So I created a characteristic here that we call a model. 00:46:36.200 --> 00:46:40.720 So I created it with the plus button. Here, I translated it and I created some values 00:46:40.720 --> 00:46:45.560 ​​here with the plus button in this table of the characteristics tab. So, I created the C3, 00:46:45.560 --> 00:46:50.680 the C1, C2 and the C2. Now let's suppose that I'm going to associate my products, well, certain products, 00:46:50.680 --> 00:46:57.720 with some of these characteristics. Well, for example, we're going to take a part. So, we're going to 00:46:57.720 --> 00:47:03.840 go to category, we're going to take a brake part. We're going to see Peugeot brake parts. 00:47:05.600 --> 00:47:13.600 Here. And then I'm also going to take Citroën brake parts. Citroën Renault Citroën, sorry. 00:47:13.600 --> 00:47:23.720 There. A little more space. So here it is, Citroën brake and Peugeot brake with a control here. 00:47:23.720 --> 00:47:30.600 So here, I have different parts. Maybe all these parts actually fit 00:47:30.600 --> 00:47:36.760 both the 102 and the C2. They are two different brands but they use the same parts. 00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:41.800 brake parts or just some. So, let's suppose I take these two. So, 00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:48.480 these two parts are suitable for these two brands, sorry, these two car models here. So, 00:47:48.480 --> 00:47:55.680 I select them both. All I have to do is click on the button here associate value 00:47:55.680 --> 00:48:00.880 to automatically, you'll see, have my cross associations. So, in this case, 00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:05.320 it doesn't work exactly as I wanted as I expected. Quite simply, 00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:09.480 although I selected two values, it only associates one. Why? Because 00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:14.040 currently this Prestashop is not configured for what we call multiple characteristics. 00:48:14.040 --> 00:48:17.960 That is to say, multiple characteristics, it is a mode that allows you to have several values ​​of the 00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:24.560 same characteristic associated with the same product. So by default, it is not activated at all, uh, in 00:48:24.560 --> 00:48:29.440 Prestashop. In 1.7, you can activate it, it's an option. And in previous versions 00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:34.880 of 1.7 1.74 even I believe at that time, you have to buy a specific module 00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:39.160 called a multiple characteristic module to be able to associate several values. But basically, 00:48:39.160 --> 00:48:43.400 in spare parts sites precisely, it is this type of module that we install or 00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:50.680 function that we activate to be able to make multiple associations on our different parts. 00:48:50.680 --> 00:48:54.840 That's it, I'll stop there. But basically, what I wanted to show you was a method 00:48:54.840 --> 00:49:01.440 to create your categories and your products as efficiently as possible. Thank you, see you soon.
