AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

In a development installation (on the Search.aspx page), I noticed that any 'ShopBy' filters in place are lost upon paging, as well as when the number of products displayed is changed; the filters do, however, remain in place upon changing the sort by selection. I haven't looked into it too deeply y...

Mazhar,

Thank you for the LINQ-based fix; much less modification than mine

To save someone else frustration here, I wanted to point out an apparent bug (which I have logged using AC's new feedback tool within the admin panel). I am using Gold R3 B5078, btw. If you want to place your custom controls within a nested directory for organization (i.e. 'ConLib/Custom/'), the Edi...

I am wanting to use the WAP model of AC Gold, but have never used this type of project in the past. In reading some MSDN articles, I believe I understand correctly that I can simply publish my project to a target directory on my local machine, and upload the published site to my web server; it seems...

@mouse_8b: Thank you for offering up your suggestion for conditional stylesheets. I tried it, but there were some things that didn't work well for me. First, the path isn't relative, so in order for this to work properly in my dev and production environments (my dev site doesn't sit on the root of m...

The SQL table [ac_OptionChoices] contains fields called [PriceModifier], [CogsModifier], [WeightModifier] & [SkuModifier]. Of these four very relevant "modifier" fields, only the COGS is not calculated in the ProductVariant class, based on a product's currently selected options (in the CalculateVari...

Why was there not a "_CalculatedCogs" variable added to the CommerceBuilder.Products.ProductVariant.cs class? It's easy enough to simply add and calculate with the rest of them, but with the other "_Calculated..." variables, it just seems like this one may have simply been overlooked? Any fellow sou...

Speedy - What you're experiencing is what I was referring to in my post above. When you run the SQL update query, it fixes the problem on the front end, but not in the admin panel. There's truly no need to select anything in the admin panel for those shipping options since they have already been def...

In an ideal world, USPS would assign a unique identifier to each different service so we wouldn't have to be dependent on the name - since they seem to change these on a once per year schedule. It is truly a shame that you have to waste your time worrying about stuff like this.. but again, thanks f...

Cool, that worked. Note that I would recommend still placing the "uspsmethods.csv" in the "App_Data" directory, as instructed in the AC help doc ("USPS changes effective January 22nd, 2012") - just noticed this in the help page announcements ;) Otherwise, it doesn't appear that the USPS' configurati...

Are you making these changes directly within SQL?

Great info Mike and Joe - I seem to be up and running! Thank you so much.

Ok, so the only way I could see to strip the URL of that port number was to actually create a new web application in IIS pointing to my directory, and manually load it in the browser (instead of relying solely on the ASP.NET Development Server). It does now load my site! So while I can at least buil...

Mike, I thought I understood that VS creates it's own instance of the site when I 'browse' that site from within VS. So I thought it wasn't necessary to actually go through the steps within IIS to create a new site. Am I incorrect in my understanding here? If VS is what's responsible for adding the ...

Note that I am still trying to point this local instance to the remote SQL server on my dev box. I know there is a field in the db called 'Store_StoreUrl' in the 'ac_StoreSettings' table, which is currently set to 'http://dev.cablesforless.local/' (the url on that server's instance of the site). Cou...

Thanks Joe. As much as I'd love a new machine... that may not be an option at this time (have been thinking about asking the higher-ups for just that for various reasons, so we'll see). It seems that the permissions issues may have been responsible for my 'Configure2.aspx' hangups, but I feel like I...

Mike,

Thanks for your reply. What I requested, and am trying to use.. was a dev license for 'localhost'. I do see that there is a port number specified in the url when I try to browse from VS ('http://localhost:50975/AbleCommerce/Default.aspx' to be more specific) - is this a problem?

I will say first of all that I'm using VS2008 on Vista Business. As I tried to do a fresh install of the application (several times), I ran into a common problem where the install process would get hung on 'Configure2.aspx' - see my post here: http://forums.ablecommerce.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=9933...

This is still very much a problem in 7.0.7... and frankly, it's exhausting. I have installed AC 7.0.7 successfully, several times now on my development server & production server. But I recently decided to start developing / debugging locally. And suddenly this problem appears. I fill in all of the ...

Not a bad idea, easy enough. Thanks for the feedback!

... If you had the source code to AC7, there is a class called DiscountCalculator that handles this step of figuring out the discounts and creating the line item. I can't really say what the impact might be if someone modified that code such that the discount were stored inline with the product... ...

http://www.cablesforless.com I started with the out-of-the-box AC theme (since we've always had a "blue" presence), and just tweaked here and there it to make it our own. We launched on 5/12, and have implemented some mods since then. Here are a few of them: - Moved volume discounts into each discou...

Fixed - in 'Admin' >> 'Products' >> 'EditProduct.aspx.cs' I changed line 66 from: Weight.Text = string.Format("{0:F2}", _Product.Weight); to: Weight.Text = string.Format("{0:F4}", _Product.Weight); And in 'Admin' >> 'Products' >> 'Variants' >> 'Variants.aspx.cs' I changed line 160 from: rowBuilder.A...

We sell some pretty light stuff - RJ45 Ends, for example, which weigh about 0.004lbs each. Since we do sell them by the piece, I have added them at that weight per item. When I type 0.004 into the weight textbox for this item (in the admin panel) and save, the weight holds. If I ever visit this same...

I have done some mods to the 'BuyProductDialog' control, so I'm curious if this is a bug I've introduced, or if it's something that anyone else can re-create. Scenario: - Version: 7.0.7.14481 - Only appears to happen in Google Chrome - On a product display page, click the "Add to Cart" button; it ad...
