AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

Hi Judy, I had to come up with a solution for this that would go as many levels deep as necessary on the fly. Banged my head against the monitor for a while, and finally came up with a set of three functions to replace your one so that the menu can recursively loop through as many levels as there ar...

I find this disparity between the basic keyword search and the advanced keyword search on Bryan's site to be a "head-scratcher" too. I haven't yet delved into the bowls of AC7 enough that I've explored why the two searc options would behave so differently, but I've verified that the DO perform very ...

Hi Jaz,

All of the styling issues you bring up here are controlled with the CSS. There are plenty examples of the CSS in this thread.

However, I find the ComponentArt flyout menu to be a MUCH nicer navigation option than the tree view. . . . and a heckuva lot easier to work with too.

I've a question: If I edit App_Code/ProductHelper.Cs directly, it will get overwritten by upgrades. However, I can't find any reference call to this file in the source code so that I could modify it in something like App_Code/Custom/ProductHelper.Cs

Any suggestions on how to handle this?

Thanks for this, Mazhar. However, as by default the first option is a blank option, to get the first "real" option to show, this should be set to look for the second item in the array: // GET THE COLLECTION OF OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE CURRENT SELECTIONS OptionChoiceCollection availableOpti...

I read an article the other day entitled "How to take over an IIS server in no time flat" by Mark Joseph Edwards. In the article he boils down a presentation by Cesar Cerrudo presented at Microsoft's BlueHat Security Briefings. Here's a core excerpt: Cerrudo showed how to completely take over — or "...

I'm looking for a way to change the blank default "selected" option on product choices from: <option selected="selected" value=""></option> to <option selected="selected" value="Please Select"></option> or to just get rid of it altogether and let the first actual option go to default. I'm looking th...

Ok this gets a tad deeper . . . If forcing add to cart links to go to the product page rather then adding directly to cart, we need to change the code behind call to our custom AddtoCartLink.ascx & AddtoCartLink.ascx.cs. This can't be done using scriplets, so we have to manually edit the file that i...

I almost forgot . . . . as the whole issue here is to alert customers that some items may be placed on backorder above the current inventory in stock BEFORE they even add to cart, we can't allow them anymore to add to cart directly from anywhere but the product page ( similar when they need to selec...

I hit on this same issue. We're just launching our second AC7 site, and our client on that site needs inventory control and to allow back order on some items, but not on others. We were scratching our heads, though, as to why the inventory status message didn't display for products that were taged w...

Excellent post here, Judy, resusitating that old but true SEO table layout trick. For anyone that blinked while reading the markup code, the trick is to use two rows, put your main contents in the middle column of the first row while leaving the left and right columns empty while giving the middle c...

Judy's solution here is excellent, and we are really grateful to her for sharing it with us. We've installed it at http://www.BarParts.com I'd just like to add two things here: 1) ComponentArt automatically includes text in nobr tags, which force each item not to wrap. This can be undesirable with l...

Try being very specific about your inheritance, something like:

Howdy All, Johny come lately to this thread here, but I've just started working with AC, AC7 specifically. I wanted to thank everyone for their contributions here, and as pay back, I wanted to share my successes with this confounded widget. First of all, I saw some folks on this thread apparently ge...

Thanks, mazhar,

You got me pointed in the right direction, it looks like.

I need some time to digest all of the threads I've found from here and start developing a beta to test what I can do with these options within the application.

I'll post back with my results.

I'd like to refine my question further here, as so far everyone seems to be focused on the "easy" part, or what I might call the "front end" of this -- the use of AJAX and lookup tables, etc. for the Make/Model search criteria . . . . but that's not really what my question is about at all. My questi...

Thanks sohaib, We're on the same page with all of this, but what I'm fishing for here is a pointer on where I can find the search query used by the Advanced Search. I agree with you that I'd do better not to customize the Advanced Search itself, but rather create a custom version of it . . . but I'd...

As my client, Jose, has posted on this topic titled "SKU search doesn't search option SKU's", but that's not at all what his question is about, I've started a new topic here:

Hello, My client, Jose, has made a couple of posts on someone else's topic ( http://forums.ablecommerce.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=7746&p=32975 ), so I wanted to get his thread restarted here. Thanks to Mazhar and Judy for their posts on the prior topic. I am new to AbleCommerce 7, and have only launc...
