The Soft Solid Automatically Assign Categories to Products Under Conditions (ss_cond_cat) extension for CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor streamlines the process of assigning products to categories automatically based on specific conditions or rules. This is useful for managing large stores, as it eliminates the need for manual category assignment and ensures that products are categorized appropriately according to predefined criteria.


Key Features and Workflow:


  1. Installation:
    • Once the extension is installed, a new option appears in the Products menu, allowing you to manage automatic category assignments.
  2. Creating Category Assignments:
    • In the new menu, you need to create a category assignment rule. Each record contains three essential elements:
      • Informational Name: A label for the assignment rule, which helps in identifying it.
      • Category: The category to which products will be automatically assigned.
      • Rule: The condition or rule that will determine which products are assigned to the selected category. The available rules include:
        • On Sale: Products marked as "on sale" are assigned to the chosen category.
        • Bestsellers: Products identified as bestsellers (based on sales data) are assigned to the category.
        • Newest: Products that are the newest additions to the store are assigned to the category.
  3. Setting Up the CRON Script:
    • After creating the category assignment records, you need to configure a CRON script in the add-on settings. The CRON script is responsible for triggering the category assignments regularly, ensuring that products are reassigned based on updated rules.
    • The script runs at specified intervals, retrieves the list of products that match the conditions set for each rule, and assigns them to the appropriate categories. This keeps the categories up-to-date automatically.
  4. Example Scenario:
    • For example, if you create a rule for the "Sale" category, the system will check the "On Sale" products (as defined in the products.on_sale controller) and automatically assign them to the "Sale" category.
    • This is particularly useful for stores with frequent promotions or seasonal sales, as products on sale will be categorized accordingly without manual intervention.

Benefits:


  • Automation: Automates the process of product categorization based on dynamic rules, saving time and effort for store admins.
  • Consistency: Ensures that products are always categorized correctly according to the latest conditions, such as sales status, popularity, or newness.
  • Efficiency: Reduces the need for manual intervention, particularly for stores with large product inventories or frequent updates.
  • Flexible Conditions: Offers flexibility with different rule options (on sale, bestsellers, newest), which can be customized to fit the store's needs.

Conclusion:


The Soft Solid Automatically Assign Categories to Products Under Conditions (ss_cond_cat) extension enhances the product management process in CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor by automating the categorization of products based on specific conditions. Whether you want to assign products that are on sale, bestsellers, or newly added, this extension ensures that the correct products are always placed in the right categories, improving both store management and customer experience. By setting up CRON jobs, you can automate this task, ensuring that product categories are always up-to-date without manual intervention.



Extension to CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor allows automatically assigning products to categories.

We start from installing an extension:

After installation, a new option in "Products" menu appears.

In new menu we have to create that steer category assigning. Each record has three elements:

- informational name

- category, to which products will be assigned

- rule that will determine products assigned to category. Three options are available: On sale (products from controller products.on_sale), Bestsellers (products.bestsellers) and Newest (products.newest)

After creating records, we have to set up CRON script from add-on configuration so that it triggers regularly.

The script works in a following way: for each record a product list is retrieved, according to the selected rule. The products are then assigned to the category. So in this example, products from products.on_sale controller are taken, and they are assigned to category "Sale".
