Master product demo

[mihaisolomon]

Hey,

I installed the demo application I added a master product with variants but could not see it in the frontend. Any idea how I can see it? Or it's not available in the demo?

Salut Mihai,

The issue is not on your end, currently the ProductFinder doesn't retrieve master products.
The fix is coming this week.

Are you using MySQL or some other DB engine?
Because for MySQL there's a relatively quick fix.

[mihaisolomon]

I'm using MariaDb Mysql.

[fulopattila122]

Yes, MariaDB works as well, of course :)

[fulopattila122]

Do you plan to use both plain products and masters/variants or only master/variants?

[mihaisolomon]

I have both. I would prefer to use both if it's posible.
From what I saw it's either simple or master product, correct?

Hey,

Do you have an answer for me?

Hey Mihai,

sorry for the slow response. The good news is that it works now, regardless of the DB engine.

With the fresh Vanilo v3.7 release, the new ProductSearch class has been added that is a drop-in replacement of the former ProductFinder class. The most important difference between the two is that ProductSearch works with both simple products and masters products as well.

This demo repository has been updated accordingly. Please pull the latest version that is capable of handling this situation.
Most of the changes have happened in this commit 5cc9729

Thanks for your patience!
