AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

After a full month effort I'm glad to finally release the new NC Software web site using AC 7. Prior site was using AC 5 (AbleNet). The design goal of the new site was simplicity! Find what you need, get in, get out. So the artistic flair was sacrificed for simplicity as well as the colors (or lack ...

When someone tries to retrieve a SerialKey from AC5 data, the DigitalGood name is not know so it throws an error. The error is thrown in the second line from the bottom: public partial class ConLib_MySerialKeyPage : System.Web.UI.UserControl { private int _OrderItemDigitalGoodId; private OrderItemDi...

Here is my DataPort 7.0.3.1 SerialKey mess. I'm going to have to dump this down via a VB.NET app, hopefully decode it and put it back in properly. It's obviously a mess from the XML encoding.

Why make someone chase down an old AC 5 utility to extract data when it could be included in the DataPort 7 product? In my opinion the DataPort should be able to collect AC 5 data and then right away upload it in AC 7. Have a wizard or interview process to determine what the merchant wants to do, th...

I had a very basic import from AC 5, just Orders and Users. As I sell mainly software I have ESD licensing data. It looks like the HTML was not decoded and there is quite a bit of a mess in the SerialKeyData table which I'll have to run scripts against to fix. It's all HTML encoded data, etc. Also, ...

I'm using Vista x64 and don't have any problems running it. I have UAC disabled which you can disable in the Windows Control Panel User Accounts area, reboot and retry.

In case you don't know, the CC/BCC system is broke. Such as when sending a Vendor notification the order item content does not come through on CC/BCC e-mail addresses. As I'm getting ready to launch my store I need to see what the Vendor's are seeing for a while until all is 100% verified and purrrf...

I think it could be done. It's all how you architect it. ZIP (compress), transfer, UNZIP, DoStuff. If you do it ALL in one web page lifecycle, yeah, you may have a timeout. If you do part 1, refresh, part 2, refresh, part 3, refresh, then you don't have the problem. Doesn't matter, was just curious ...

I'm trying to solve a problem that I also had to do in AC 5 but was easier in AC 5 due to the code structure and could be done in the source. Hopefully I can do something in nVelocity to fix this in the e-mail template. What is happening is when ordering a KIT product (bundle style) you see the mast...

I figured it out. If anyone else needs this added to your Vendor Notification here is what I used:

I have orders that contain items from various vendors. When the e-mails are generated EVERY vendor sees the entire order and not just the items that pertain to them.

Has anyone revised their Vendor notification template so it shows properly, i.e. filtered by each vendor?

Thank you.

I need to post the shipping charges above each packing slip in my vendor notification so the vendor can bill me for those charges. Anyone know the nVelocity code to use to get the Total Shipping Charges for that SHIPMENT?

Thank you.

I think the way to do it web'wise in a situation with larger files is that they FTP it up and then they tell the web page area the file location and NOT use a Browse/Upload system. I've seen web systems (yep, vBulletin) do this where you can either browse for a file OR set the path on the site where...

Thanks Logan. Research MTOM for web services/WCF services. Large datasets are not a big deal if you use a little magic with binary serialization, MTOM protocol, web.config settings to allow the larger sizes, keep alives etc. (vBulletin does it (their mass e-mailer, etc.)!!! Ha Ha). I get the impress...

Naveed says in http://forums.ablecommerce.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=10053&p=48575#p48575 that 7.0.3 DataPort is in BETA. How about opening up to a small beta group as obviously from the look at your 7.0.x builds per discussions in this forum you need to expand your beta/QA effort. I again think that ...

Simple pages such as CategoryGrid didn't have this fix (the Default no Value sort value) and in my opinion should.

Well currently the AbleCommerce 7 doesn't list the products as per admin adjusted order. It was a bug which is fixed for 7.2 version. http://bugs.ablecommerce.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7453 If you use the following workaround <asp:ListItem Text="< Select Sort Order >" Value="" Selected="True"></asp:ListI...

There is also a property in the ConLib IIRC to enable multiple ship to addresses.

I suggest going to your Admin area, ConLib reference and PRINT the SHOW ALL content and reference it during your store design.

A lot of the ASCX pages have a "showmsrp" property that is not available in the corresponding ConLib. So instead of commenting out code, first check the HTML side to see if there is a ShowMSRP property which you can just change from "true" to "false". I did a search on my entire solution and set the...

You really just need to compile a DLL (payment plug-in), not the entire AC product. Any 2003 machine that references the proper assemblies will work. If I were Logan I'd bring up a VMWare or Virtual PC, get VS 2003 installed and then compile it. Not a big deal.

I too have a system running VS 2003 with AC 5.5 as that's my current store right now.

If you're using AC 7 then you should be fine. Check your online gateway and it should show the version info, etc. You can ask the gateway support if you are fine or if you need an update.

Thank you. I'll re-read and then experiment after backing up the DB.

Hello all, I'm just about done with the design of my AC 7 store and I'll be migrating from AC 5.5. Small catalog relatively speaking so it's not really a big deal in recreating products. The problem is of course the ability for a customer to login and view prior orders which also contain their ESD i...

In my footer I'd like to have the Copyright YEAR value automatically set so I never have to touch it again. Can this be done using nVelocity?
