Re: zero dollars order email, special case

I know this is an old thread but I'm having this same problem with 7.0.7. No Customer Order Notification is being sent for orders with a $0 total. I am able to manually trigger the email to go out by going to the Order Summary page through the admin interface, clicking on the users email address, se...

Re: Code for Alert when there are reviews to approve

Huge help. Thanks! A couple minor tweaks in the code below: 1. Fixed typo "unaproved" 2. Made "Unapproved Review" a link to the Reviews page 3.

Product Review Notification?

Is there any kind of notification sent by default to the store owners when a Product Review is submitted? Is there a way to enable this? It'd also be nice to have a count of unapproved reviews in the My Alerts section of the Dashboard. Any easy way to do that?

Re: Choosing shipping method

Sorry for the late reply but just in case this helps someone else... In 7.x, the best was to handle questions 1 and 3 are to create a separate warehouse (even if the warehouse address is the same) and then associate the product with that warehouse and create shipping methods that are only associated...

Re: Basket not updating properly when using IE8

I was able to work around this issue by adding a random querystring parameter to the cart URL from our personalization page. While it's not the perfect solution I can't think of any reason it would break. But still, I'd like to figure out a better solution so this workaround is necessary.
