I am also experiencing this issue. In the ac_CatalogNodes table it looks like it is sorting by the "Id" field rather than by the "OrderBy" field. Is there a time table for getting this fixed?

Hello, The company I work for is looking to overhaul the look and feel of our Ablecommerce website. We do not have any web developers on staff and are interested in hiring someone that has web design skills and that is comfortable in working with Ablecommerce. If anyone out there fits this descripti...

Hello, We are currently on Ablecommerce 7.0.4 Build 14026. We would like to move our installation to a new server. Old Server Window 2003 SQL Server 2005 New Server Windows 2008 R2 SQL Server 2008 R2 From what I've read in the forums, this sounds like it should be pretty simple. Move the files and d...

Thanks for the fix but this page still seems to have problems with expanding and narrowing results. This problem can be repeated on my site by: 1. Go to product finder (~/Search.aspx). 2. Narrow by a category. 3. Go to page 2 of that category (~/Search.aspx?s=Name%20ASC&c=27&p=1). 4. At this point t...

If you have access to the database you could try running this query: UPDATE ac_StoreSettings SET FieldValue = 'False' WHERE FieldName = 'SSLEnabled' I haven't had to run this script so no guarantees but it looks like it should do the job. Also, the reason you can't login is probably because you do n...

It looks like there is still a problem with Search.aspx. If I choose a category on the left and then scroll down to the bottom and click page #2, this is the URL I am taken to: http://[site name]/Search.aspx?s=Name ASC&c=27&p=1 Notice how the category in the query string is still there (c=27). If I ...

How can free shipping on a specific prouct or category be accomplished? This option does not seem to be available in the demo site I am using. When I edit a coupon, there is no product rule option. Is this something that could modified easily?

Thanks

Hello,

How can the shipping estimator be added to the product page? In the demo store, the estimator only appears after the item has been added to the cart. Some customers may just want an estimate without adding it to their cart first.

Thanks

This may be what you're looking for. Go to Configure -> Store -> Volume Discounts Below is a copy and paste from the config section: When you assign a discount to a category, how should the products in the basket be counted? In "Line Item" mode, each product in the basket is checked individually to ...

I just noticed that UK postal codes do not work in the shipping calculator but rates are provided after the customer fills out their address in checkout. Is this something that is being worked on?

Wow, dimensional weight is actually factored into the calculation. This is the first shopping cart I have seen do this. Kudos!

It seems to work well for international too except I noticed there is no option to add UPS Worldwide Saver. Is this in the development que?

Thanks

Never mind, it looks like the weight is cached in the basket when the item is added. If you delete the item from the cart and add it again the updated weight is then applied to the calculation.

Hello, I am testing out the shipping calculator on a demo store. I have configured UPS and have notcied that the rates that are calculated (ground, next day, 2nd day, etc..) do not change based on changing the weight of the product but do change when the ZIP is changed. Is this normal behavior? I wo...

Hello,

I was just curious if you have a time frame for when the Final version of 7 will be released.

Thanks

I'll add a vote for Amazon Merchant integration. eBay checkout would be cool too.

Thanks Mike for fleshing that out. I know that is probably not a common feature request but one that could be very useful for those that need to manage preorders on hot products. I am crossing my fingers that someone will find this worthy enough to be added to the final release, but if it is not, ho...

I've talked to Authorize.net about this issue and they have told me that while they hold the authorization codes for 30 days, the banks that issue those codes may only honor them for up to 5 business days (this is apparently rare though). This means if we capture payment using an authorization code ...

Hello again, I have a question regarding how backordered credit card payments are handled. For backordered items, is the payment still authorized at the time of purchase, or does AC wait until the item is available for shipment until authorization? The problem is, if an authorization # is obtained r...

Wow, you guys can read minds too? :) I have another question... Can the ESD be used just to deliver serial keys? We have a membership club that we sell online that gives our users a special membership code that can be used for discounts on our separate photofinishing services site (we mail them a me...

That's awesome. Thanks Mike.

Does next release mean Beta 2?

One other question:

For items, categories, etc. that are made to be accessible only by direct url entry, are those items hidden from search engine (google) indexing as well?

What fields does AC search into? Title, Summary, Description, More Details, Manufacturer Part Number, Product Template? Is this configurable?

Sorry to bombard you with questions but I have several more: 1. Can we assign search keywords to products for use by the site search engine? For example, if we know that a product is commonly searched for by its misspelled name, we could include that misspelling as a search keyword. 2. Has AC ever c...

Hi Mike,

Were you responding to my post or USteppin?
