Special Groups

8 Aufrufe Markdown

The seven endpoints that manage the special groups holding product families outside the fixed types.

Overview

A special group holds together a family of products that falls outside the fixed types. SSL certificates are the canonical case: products with no type of their own live inside a special group.

A group is not only a container but a storefront setting. Payment gateways, the list template and the upgrade permission are set at group level and reach every product inside.

Pitfalls

Deleting takes the contents with it

Deleting a group also deletes the products, sub-categories and images inside it. The product_count and service_count fields on the list exist for exactly this; read both before you delete.

The rich fields are not edited here

The FAQ, the column layout, the operator notes and the payment gateway lists are not in the update body. They keep their current values, so leaving them out does not wipe them. They are managed from the panel's own screens.

The colour goes in without a hash

The colour field wants the six digits without a leading hash. Sending it with one can leave the value unreadable, so read the detail back after writing to see what was stored.
