Product Combinations Obsolete.... Help?

Please note that the Product option combinations add-on has been deprecated since version 4.10.4 and was completely removed in 4.12.1 . If you want to use this add-on in your current version, it will require code modifications.

Unfortunately, as I can see, this add-on’s functionality is used for a large number of products as individual options for each product in your installation.

Please note that after upgrading to version 4.12.1 , all these option values ​​will be lost. Therefore, the only way to migrate this product variability to future platform versions is to create the appropriate features for these products and then manually customize these product variations according to your needs.

Unfortunately, the automatic conversion tool only works with configured Option combinations , not with individual options for each product.

If your store relied heavily on Product Combinations, how did you upgrade without spending 100+ hours manually re-entering data?

I’m also concerned about future upgrade issues if custom code is involved, and Product Variations appears significantly more time consuming. I’m currently several versions behind because the cart functions properly as is, but I’m being forced to upgrade due to PHP version compatibility with hosting providers, and that issue is only going to get worse over time. I was hoping to upgrade to the latest version, since I just renewed the license.

Thanks for any insight!

We have helped many CS-Cart users who have faced this problem with our managed CS-Cart hosting service by Cart Rocks. We don’t force PHP version upgrade. You can even use PHP 5.1 to 5.6 on our server up to the latest PHP version.

After the server migration, we can make a plan to upgrade your CS-Cart properly. There will be more benefits to host with us. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us here for more details.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I’d like to keep my current hosting company due to their free live chat support. It’s helped me out of trouble instantly more times than I can count, and I renew annually to keep the overhead as low as possible.

That’s also great to hear that you offer PHP 5.1 support. From what I’ve been told, many providers won’t go lower than PHP 7.4 on new servers.

Do you have any addons that convert Product combinations to product variations?

Thanks!

We also have free 365 day live chat instant support and yearly discount. :slight_smile:

It will need custom mod for your case if you have many individual options per product.
