Mulitple addons merged into this one

First of all, It is important to say that CloneProductDetails is a super addon that  combines all the power and features of these three other key modules:

-Clone Specific Prices (new name of Clone Quantity Discounts)

-Clone Attachments

-Clone Customizations

This is already the promise of hundred of saved hours, for a better price than buying these three modules separately.

But CloneProductDetails provides much more ! It also offers the possibility to clone or combine more or less every element of any product to a bulk of others. In one click, your are done, duplicating any data of your choices to your entire catalog or a selection of products.
 

Some examples

• You want to have the same new text displayed when all your products (or a selection of them) are out of stock. Afraid to have to do it manually for all of them in the back office ? You are right, I share your pain.
• CloneProductDetails is your solution: You change the text for one single product and clone it to all the products you want with just one click.
• You changed your provider for hundred of products and need to update your database. What if you could do it for just of product and duplicate in one click to the next hundred ?
• You have a common list of keywords you would like to add to to many products. But you would like to keep the existing keywords of each products. So you need to do a bulk combine. Again, CloneProductDetails allows you to do that instantly.-You have many products with the same features and get rid of creating them again and again in the back office ? Eh, just do it once and clone !
• You would like to apply the same discount to all products of one or more catégories ? So easy, apply that discount to one of the products, select the categories to apply to, click "clone" and you are done.

Your best friend to migrate your shop to PS 1.4 ! : Prestashop V1.4 brings lot of new very interesting features. But if the migration of a previous version database can be done automatically, it does not mean you'll get benefit of the new features (new database fields are left empty or get assigned a "by default" value).

Even if you have less than 50 products, I wish you good luck editing each of them from the back office, to fill in these new fields. Unless you use this module: You will simply the change in one product (i.e: unity or condition or online-only trigger etc ...) and clone to all other products in one click.

With Prestashop V1.5x and further, you can also duplicate these two fields:

• Availability date
• Visibility (in catalog and search results) ?

The setting of the various parameters can now be saved into the database.

Supporting the multi-shops mode of Prestashop V1.5 and further:

• Some product parameters are specific to each shop (i.e price, name, quantity, tax...), some others are common to all shops (i.e supplier, size, tags, accessories,...)
• Product parameters which are specific to each shop are modified only in the selected shop(s).
• If a target product does not exist in one of the selected shop(s), its parameters which are common to all shops will be modified anyway.
• Product parameters which are common to all shops are modified independantly of the selected shop(s). So they will be modified in all shops, including in shops not selected.
• The source data used for the cloning are read in the default shop of the source product (usualy the shop in which the product has been initially created).
• You can clone data from one product belonging to a different shop than the target products
