AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

I do this using a webservice to expose the necessary AbleCommerce API objects and methods.

What method do you use to prevent unauthorized access? Certificates?

Keep in mind that layouts are available for modification in App_Data\Scriptlets\Custom\Layout.
Our site is heavily modified, and the only change we've made to the master page has been to add script tags to load and initialize jQuery.

CommerceBuilder.Reporting.PageView.Save() +1472

User-Agent is most likely the problem. Update the column in ac_PageViews to nvarchar(max).

Same technique to remove orphans in ac_ProductTemplateFields.

SELECT * FROM ac_ProductTemplates WHERE ProductTemplateId NOT IN ( SELECT DISTINCT ProductTemplateId FROM ac_InputFields where InputFieldId IN ( SELECT DISTINCT InputFieldId FROM ac_ProductTemplateFields ) ) Change the initial "SELECT * FROM" to "DELETE" after vetting the results of the select. All...

Maybe the store setting field that holds the secure url: SSLEncryptedUri? Or possibly one of the two members exposed by StoreSettingCollection class - EncryptedUri or UnencryptedUri? Wherever those get implemented or also possibly where the <securePages> section from ablecommerce.config is parsed. T...

Any help here? This is a challenge for me; the redirect must be somewhere in the CommerceBuilder API, which I don't have source for, and I can't test without buying the extra domain first.

We host a separate survey app using SelectSurvey.NET (http://www.classapps.com/SelectSurveyNETOverview.asp) with custom logic to determine when a session is eligible for a survey - but we host all of our own web properties, any one of which might be hooked up to one or more surveys; it works well th...

In Members/Download.ashx, replace the line: DownloadHelper.SendFileDataToClient(context, digitalGood); with your own method that generates a file stream from your customized object. I used this method to generate a rebate form PDF pre-populated with customers' name, address info, etc. when they purc...

I wonder if someone can comment on how Able passes basket and user context into checkout page when separate URL is used? For example, I fill my basket up at store.domain.com, and click "checkout", which takes me to secure.domain.com. Also, I assume that secure.domain.com needs to be added into the A...

Check "Catalog Mode" in Admin, Configure, Store.

Sure - as long as you implement AbleCommercePage. I load an alternate "Landing Page" based on a database setting, with a small modification to default.aspx... Here's the content tag in my default.aspx: <asp:Content ID="Content1" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="PageContent"> <cb:ScriptletPart ID...

I wonder where the benefit is in the back and forth between storefront and third party (PCCharge) processing. With the short storage/smaller risk but HUGE potential for liability surrounding CVV aside - surely labor and opportunity for error easily wash away any savings in discount rates, assuming t...

So what qualifies as a "payment application"? AbleCommerce? n/software IBizPay? Here's the list: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/vpa/ If AbleCommerce qualifies as a "payment application" and is certified to comply with PA-DSS by a reputable 3rd party, who is liable for fines...

Yes, CVV can't be stored by merchant. However, no reason that Able software can't provide merchant access to the CVV.

Ahh, but the poster is not asking to store CVV data, just to be able to retrieve it for subsequent processing (not via integrated payment gateway). That is allowed by PCI DSS and PA DSS - you can keep any data until authorization. You just have to demonstrate a policy and method for destruction. 3.2...

Parser Error Message: Thread was being aborted.

This indicates that the site is being restarted. Are you hosting the website or is someone else? Seeing the error after updating website code is typical.

In my example, the PageEventLogger class looks after extracting the appropriate values from context and writing to the database. It's basically the DAL for the SessionLog and PageEventLog tables in my database.

Use jQuery to make an asynchronous request to a logger aspx, mapped to onclick in Page_Load: AdButton.OnClientClick = "javascript:$.ajax({url: '/_eventlogger.aspx', data: 'a=AdClick&o=" + AdName + "&p=" + Convert.ToString(_ProductId) + "', cache: false }); The logger can then be completely outside t...

Sorry all - the trigger above was a "just in case, make some extra data" effort during the early stages of our implementing AbleCommerce. There have been no requests made for a more extensive inventory audit made by operation staff here, so no additional work has ever been done. Some code could be a...

Firefox is just so nice to develop against, what with Firebug and all.
Don't have access to all browsers for testing? Virtual browser sessions for most popular browsers available at http://www.xenocode.com/Browsers/

Example was just meant to show how nVelocity can parse ${object.Property} in a string - use in email is incidental. e.g. string newstring = nVengine.Process(hashtable_of_objects, oldstring); so Text ${user.FullName} ${user.PrimaryAddress.Address1} More text would yield user name and street address i...

Don't have API source, but just had to re-write email generation as we now operate multiple stores out of a single code-base/database. nVelocity.Process method takes a hashtable of objects and a string argument, and returns a parsed string - here's some sample code... protected void SendOrderPlacedE...
