ARAMA: Spectrum (tools, collections, batch actions, cross-selling, infoblock copying)

What this solution does

ARAMA: Spectrum is a comprehensive toolset for automating website tasks. The module streamlines workflows for developers, site owners, marketers, SEO specialists, and other professionals by eliminating routine operations. Key capabilities include managing collections, performing batch actions, configuring cross-selling strategies, and copying information blocks.

ARAMA: Spectrum is a module providing tools for collections, batch operations, cross-selling, and information block copying. It addresses common challenges encountered during website development and maintenance. Its functionality is shaped by practical experience gained by specialists implementing and supporting client web projects. The module streamlines routine tasks and supports sales growth through landing page creation via the collection mechanism and the implementation of recommendations for similar products and accessories.

ARAMA: Spectrum is a tool for working with information blocks, not a universal solution. Effective use requires understanding its principles, which are detailed in the technical documentation.

The core functionality is implemented via the collection mechanism. It enables mass operations on information block elements, including binding groups of elements to sections, performing cross-selling actions, unbinding elements from sections, and moving elements to other sections.

The tool supports batch property editing, including value replacement via macros and writing preconfigured filter arrays. It also supports step-by-step deletion of elements based on a selection, as well as step-by-step execution of arbitrary PHP actions on selected elements.

The mechanism operates using profiles, allowing automatic task scheduling via agents or cron.

ARAMA Spectrum provides tools for managing information blocks and organizing cross-selling. It enables the creation of collections and product sets in specific sections, as well as the implementation of landing pages. The functionality includes mass filling of element properties, mass deletion of products, and mass property clearing. It supports mass copying of values between fields and properties of the same element using macros. Arbitrary PHP actions can be executed on groups of products. The tool allows mass clearing of preview images and detailed descriptions. It automates the linking of product groups to additional sections and displays price ranges in the smart filter. Cross-selling mechanisms are implemented for selecting similar, recommended, and related products, as well as accessories. The system automatically generates announcement and detailed images from additional media files. URL redirects from old to new addresses can be configured, along with management of title tags and h1 headers. The module supports highlighting new arrivals and bestsellers, as well as non-standard product sorting. Extended menu items are based on the standard bitrix:menu.sections component, with added support for custom filters and the use of additional section fields.

III. Product popularity based on the number of created orders. When enabled, this feature creates a service property in the product catalog to count how many times each item appears in orders. This property can be used on the public site, for example, to sort products by popularity. The functionality does not account for orders created before the feature was enabled.

IV. Product popularity based on the number of paid orders. This works similarly to the previous feature, but counts only fully paid orders. The functionality does not account for orders created before the feature was enabled.

V. Automatic saving of minimum and maximum prices. The system saves price values in the product service properties 'Minimum price' and 'Maximum price' in the base currency. Prices are updated once daily based on saved exchange rates; the update frequency can be changed via the standard agent.

VI. Duplicating available quantity into product properties.

VII. Information block synchronization mechanism.

The ARAMA: Spectrum module enables copying information blocks along with their properties, sections, and elements. When properties, sections, or elements of a parent information block are added or modified, corresponding changes are automatically applied to the child information block. The functionality also includes implementing blocks of recommended, complementary, or similar products on the product detail page.

VIII. Non-standard product sorting

To implement custom sorting, use the Bulk Edit properties action. Create auxiliary properties of the Number type to serve as sorting indices. Use the filter feature to define sets and assign the required numeric values to these indices. Subsequently, apply these properties to sort products or news items in the public section of the site. Further details are provided in the relevant article.
