Ken, Just thought I would mention that the reason you can't build the site from the Upgrade zips is that they only contain the site files that are different between the two versions given in the file name. For example, UpgradeGold-R6b6169-to-R7b7118-WAP.zip only contains the web site files that hav...

It shouldn't be so difficult. Upgrades within GOLD are supposed to be as simple as updating old files with new files. Rest is supposed to happen automatically. When we release a version we do test extensively for upgrades from previous versions. Normally we test at least 2 prior versions in great de...

The upgrade routine runs only once at the application startup. If you are getting invalid column errors it indicates that the upgrade routine did not run for some reason. It could be because of the sequence of steps taken for upgrade. But the solution is pretty simple. Just restart your application ...

You are not supposed to go to Install wizard when upgrading within gold. All you needed to do to upgrade from R2 to R7 is to simply update your R2 installation with new files from R7, restart the application and then access AC Gold. On first access to the site after restart the upgrade will happen a...

Don't existing Able Gold installs automatically check and upgrade the attached database if it's found to be a previous release? Yes they do. This happens when the application starts for the first time. Upgrade within Gold is pretty straightforward. You just update the files and access AC. On first ...

Which version of AC Gold are you at?

You are running on
IIS 7 (Integrate Pipeline mode)
ASP.NET 4.0
SQL Server 2008 R2

Windows 7 or 8 ?

Do you have all the latest service packs and patches installed?

Do you have any customizations in Global.asax?

Do you have any custom HttpModules added?

The short answer is - It can be ignored. The long answer is that NHibernate does not like composite keys. In fact use of composite keys is discouraged in object relational mapping frameworks. When there are composite keys in use NHibernate can not easily determine which associated objects are to be ...

When making use of 'using' block, explicitly closing the connection in finally block is not needed. Also when a connection is closed, it is not necessary 'closed'. It is up to the connection pool to decide whether to close the connection completely or just return it to the connection pool. The appli...

Joe I guess you fixed this in R5 ... Because in R6 we already fixed most of these issues using the same technique described above.

I can see this working fine in R6. I think we brought back this feature in some release... I can't seem to remember exactly when. I think you are on some old version of AC Gold.

Try this Create a new custom control in ConLib folder. Extend it from CommerceBuilder.UI.WebControls.HtmlContainer. Hopefully it will become available to be added to sidebars in Layout editor. You can set the Value parameter of this control which can be HTML content. The [[ConLib:XXX]] syntax is als...

If you don't use Full Text Search (FTS) then search terms like and will also be taken into consideration.

Agree. May be in the UI, if we are using these terms somewhere, we can make the update - but the change of actual folder name, now that there are hundreds of deployments out there, is asking for trouble.

itnovator wrote: By the way, on the R3 version, where is the "Default.html" which is used as a base layout to create dynamic layout master file?

Previously it was part of the code. In R5 it was structured out of the code and created as an html template. If you are at R3 you will not see this file.

To put it in another way there are two types of pages in AC. 1. The pages that can be manipulated directly from the layout editor in merchant admin. i.e; you can chose controls to use, move them around, remove them or whatever. The pages controled this way are dynamic pages. Their layouts (i.e; mast...

Not tested but you may try something like this in Mobile.master

Unfortunately the code that performs the magic is in the backend DLL, the source of which is not available for you to modify. The main HttpModule that performs all different kind of filtering on the requests that arrive is responsible for deciding whether a request is to be treated as a mobile store...

The more specific discounts take precedence over more genral discounts. For example a discount defined on the product itself will take precedence on the discount defined on its category. A discount defined on the lower level category will take precedence on the discount defined at a higher level. Wh...

In Configure->Store->Mobile Settings you have a setting

Mobile Browsing: [x] Enable Mobile Support

Uncheck this to disable mobile store.

Groups can be defined for selected groups. These discounts will apply only on the products which belong to the group(s) that the discount applies to.

Yes it is almost the same as in AC7. However if you have AC7 implementation of this provider you will have to recompile and probably fix a few things before using it in Gold.

We will see if this can be fixed in the automatic upgrade.

Looks to be a bug. We will verify this and fix it in the next updated.

In FTS words like these are considered noise words and they are ignored.
