Multi-functional catalog processor

What this solution does

The module allows performing any changes on a selection of elements from information blocks. Its functionality is divided into three blocks: price recalculation, description setting, and property value setting.

The module supports two filtering types: list filter and condition-based filter. These tools enable flexible creation of catalog element selections based on their properties, ensuring adaptation to current requirements.

After a selection is defined using one of two filters, modification capabilities become available across three modules.

The price recalculation block manages prices in product cards and offers. It supports changing prices by a specified percentage or fixed amount (increase or decrease). Prices can be adjusted relative to other values, such as adding a percentage or fixed sum to the purchase price. The tool allows changing currency, applying markups, and rounding prices. This enables automatic calculation of retail prices based on purchase costs and setting the required currency.

Module for processing descriptions of information block elements and associated product offers. It enables creating new teaser and detailed descriptions based on templates with variable substitution from element properties. Features include search and replace operations using templates, as well as appending new descriptions to the beginning or end of existing text. The tool supports converting HTML markup to plain text via multiple methods. Description values can be constructed from other fields, properties, catalog parameters, and prices using {prop_3} notation. Property selection is handled through a combined list with search functionality. This allows automatic generation of unique descriptions during catalog imports from 1C or Excel, optimizing them to meet SEO requirements for the public section of the site.

The Property Value Setting block allows mass updates based on specific conditions or applies changes to the entire information block and its product offers. It works with any information block properties, catalog parameters, and SEO fields.

The tool supports editing dates, lists, and numeric values. For trade catalogs, it enables modification of barcodes, dimensions (width, height), weight, composition, set quantities, and other catalog parameters. Users can also set stock quantities for a specified warehouse.

The module allows generating SEO values for elements, including the use of a text randomizer. For text fields, values can be constructed from other fields, properties, catalog parameters, and prices using insertions in the format {prop_3}. Available operations include adding text to the beginning or end, converting HTML to plain text, and performing find-and-replace operations on specific value occurrences.

For file-type properties, values can be removed, additional files can be added to existing ones, or files can be replaced with new selections (including for multiple file properties). Property selection is handled via a combined list with search functionality.

Processing parameters for all blocks can be saved to a profile and executed on a schedule for reprocessing. The path to the PHP executable is configured in the main module. To automate the process, you can set the execution frequency for the saved profile and create a cron job, provided the hosting environment supports this operation.

The module allows logging element changes. Records are saved to a log file, the path to which is configured in the module settings.

The module provides automated management of product catalogs and information block elements with extensive configuration capabilities.
