Thanks Judy for confirming this. Although I don't enjoy finding bugs, it's nice to know I'm not the only one.

Katie - I will wait for your team's response for the patch.

We recently upgraded from RC4 to RC5 and we are now unable to add a new product. The issue seems to be that the AdwordsPublish column in the ac_products table was not deleted as mentioned in the upgrade documentation. Other changes to the database were successfully changed such as the ExcludedDestin...

Okay - I found the User Agent Switcher plugin for firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/ This is way faster than the Opera Mobile Emulator and I can also use firebug. It basically tricks the website into thinking the browser is a certain user agent. So it's not a...

Downloaded the Opera Mobile Emulator. Seems to work great. Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification Judy. Does anyone know of a good emulator to test locally with? I can't use cloud-based emulators because the dev site can only be viewed within the network.

I'm waiting until after my new RC5 deployment before I work on the mobile site. But until then, I'm trying to plan for mobile development. I switched everything to enable the mobile view but no dice. I still see the style.css in the header and no mobile.css. I remember the mobile was correctly chang...

Palm to the head. That was it - placing the Order Confirmation email to "Order was placed" trigger. I'm curious if Cybersource has to be live in order for the Order Confirmation trigger to be set to "Payment Authorization Succeeded"? We will see...

I ran a couple test orders this morning. No errors in the log.

Can someone confirm the Payment Authorization Succeeded trigger correctly sends out the Customer Order Notification email using RC5? I am using Cybersource on Test mode using the "4111111111111111" credit card. After checking the order in the dashboard, the order shows "Authorized". I can send a tes...

I have used pre-Gold 7.0.3, Gold RC4-RC5. We are on the edge of deploying our new site built with RC5 (recently upgraded from RC4). As a front-end developer I see several improvements: SEO, - mobile responsive templates out of the box, fixed and dynamic redirects. The scriptlets have been done away ...

I found a bug in the RC5 Simple Search conlib. See comment in code below: <script type="text/javascript"> $(function () { $(".searchPhrase").autocomplete({ source: function (request, response) { $.ajax({ url: "Search.aspx/Suggest", data: "{ 'term': '" + request.term + "' }", dataType: "json", type: ...

We are about ready to move to production. Is there an updated document about best practices/procedures to migrate a dev site to production for Gold? Or is it the same?

This is the old 7.x documentation:

Okay - Now I understand that the HTML editor is contained withing a form so nested forms is a no no. I'm googling for workarounds now.

I entered a form tag in the HTML editor to pass a variable to another page like so: <form action="http://dev.aerobed.com/preference-center.aspx" method="get">Email: <input type="text" name="email" /><br /> <input class="button" type="submit" value="Submit" /></form> But the form tags do not show up ...

For future reference, converting from WAP to WSP can be done without too much trouble. The outline of steps is: 1. Delete all designer files (*.designer.cs) in the project 2. Rename Code folder to App_Code 3. Delete AbleCommerce.dll and AbleCommerce.pdb from Bin folder 4. Search and replace CodeBeh...

I was able to convert from WAP to WSP and code behind works fine now. I had problems compiling the site. Probably because I started buiding the project as a Web Site and Not opening as a web application. The below topic was helpful in converting the site to WSP. Thanks jmstep! http://forums.ablecomm...

I'm mostly a front - end developer and can't seem to understand why any changes to the code behind in my conlib will have no affect. - I created a copy of the ProductImage conlib and renamed it "AACustomProductImage.ascx" - I changed the CodeBehind reference at the top of the .ascx file to reference...

Thanks for your reply Mazhar. I successfully changed the layout for the Basket page. When I manually changed it to use the Fixed/LeftSidebar.Master it crashed because there was a contentplaceholder still calling the RightSidebar towards the end of the page. Once I change the place holder to call the...

See attachment for layout settings. The layout settings functionality seems to be limited. Looks like I can only assign a layout to Product Pages, Category Pages, and General Webpages. So how do I assign a custom layout that I have created to, let's say, the basket page? General logic tells me I nee...

Great! Thank you. I should have caught that!

Bump.

I think I might need to simplify my question. How can a custom conlib be defined to be used in a certain zone? For example, I made a custom conlib (yes a horzontal menu) and wanted it to go in the header, footer... whatever zone I want it to go in. How do I do this?

Can someone please try to explain how I would call a dynamic menu in the head of the website? In 7.X I was able to call the simple category list conlib in the header scriptlet. This way I was able to create a nice dropdown menu in the head of the website like shown at http://www.stearnsflotation.com...

Thanks for your reply AbleMods. I will keep that in mind.

Not sure what this designer.cs file is for.

Anyone care to explain this designer.cs file?

I thought I would share my confusion to maybe help others out. I am designing a new site in Gold and needed to modify the header. In 7.X, you would just edit the standard header scriptlet. In Gold, scriptlets have been done away with (including nVelocity syntax). I'm sure this will allow for easier ...
