AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

Mazhar, I've followed your steps and checked it through the debugger and I've got it successfully going to this line: return new CommerceBuilder.Common.LSDecimal(22.5m); But, the Tax Amount is still 0. Is there something more I need to do to get the calculated amount applied? The standard tax calcul...

Mazhar, Still waiting for a response...

Could you expand on the Mazhar? I'm not really clear on what you're proposing...

Currently, it bases the taxes on the Billing Address. But there are times when the person purchasing the item in the store has a Credit Card with a Billing Address in another state.

Thanks Judy! Very helpful!

I'm using 7.0.4. And yes, we are seeing the problem when coupons are used. Is there anything that can be done to fix this in a 7.0.4 build? We've customized the store pretty heavily so upgrading to 7.0.5 could be challenging.

We've got a "Vary By Cost" formula setup for calculating the shipping cost based on the order sub-total. The problem is AbleCommerce sometimes calculates against the sub-total (good) and sometimes calculates against the total (bad). I'm not sure if this is due to a customization we made or if this i...

Our client allows customers to pickup items from their retail location. We've implemented the pickup option but we still need to figure out a way to make AbleCommerce always apply sales tax when the Pickup option is selected. Is there any way to do this?

I know you can set it up so you can't use two coupons for an order, but we need a way to stop the combination of coupons and other discounts as well. Example, if people use the buy 3, get 1 free volume discount, we don't want them to also be able to get free shipping for orders over $100. In the ter...

I just did a comparison of the PageViews being reported by AbleCommerce vs Google Analytics for one of our sites. AbleCommerce is reporting 59,027 pageviews for a 15 day period. Google Analytics is reporting 21,467 pages for the same period. From what I've read, you should expect GA numbers to be ar...

off topic, but if that's the goal, you need to move the data feeds out of App_Data so they can be accessed by feed crawlers like Google's.

Perfect! That's what I needed.

I was skeptical that would work since the connection string isn't actually in the web.config but the web.config does point ConfigurationManager to the database.config file and that's what it needed.

Thanks!

Is there any way to programmatically access the connectionstring?

How can we specify a From Name for emails. Currently the From Name is set to the email address, i.e. info@mycompany.com. We've tried specifying the address as:
MyCompany <info@mycompany.com>

but AbleCommerce didn't like that.

This still limits you to static text and product name. We really need the ability to customize this for each product and category. I see there is a wiki article on this but I'm not sure it would work quite right, it seems to be missing some stuff. http://wiki.ablecommerce.com/index.php/How_do_I_add_...

I want to make a minor customization to the GoogleBase data feed but digging around in the code a bit it looks like the provider is in the closed CommerceBuilder code. We just want to be able to add a word before the product name/title. Anyone know if there's an easy way to do this without buying fu...

I'm trying to setup GoogleBase to automatically pull down my data feed on a weekly basis. It's easy to setup GoogleBase to pull your feed on a weekly basis but with version 7.0.4, the feeds were put under the App_Data folder and it doesn't appear that they can be accessed from the outside (by Google...

We're having this problem too. This is really something that should be part of able commerce by now.

Any more info on this. We'd really like the ability to let some users enter a single coupon code and get the order for free (no shipping, no tax, no nothin) for promotional purposes. Currently, they have to enter two couple codes. I'm hoping the Coupon Combo piece might allow me to combine different...

We need a way to add credits to accounts. Coupon Codes are not going to work for all cases. For example, I might need to give someone a credit for an incorrect order or to thank them for something. I say on the Gallery page that we will give users a $25 credit if we feature their child. What if they...

Perfect! That's what we needed.

We've added a special personalization step to our system and it's working fine except that when a user orders two of the same items with different personalizations, AbleCommerce is combining both items into one and setting the quantity to 2. Is there anyway to prevent this without getting the full s...

That was easy, thanks! To make non-shipped Orders appear in these views:

1.) Go to the Configure->Order Statuses
2.) Edit the Payment Pending status
3.) Check the "Include in Report" checkbox and hit save.

We're running version 7.1 and the "Sales Data" and "Sales Over Time" data isn't updating. It's currently show sales through the 9th (4 days ago) but not any of the Sales from the last 3 days. Hitting "Refresh" has no impact. How often is this data supposed to update. Is this a known issue with 7.1. ...

I don't have a support contract for the site where I need this fix. But since this is an acknowledged bug, it seems I should be able to get the fix. How will that work?

This is a serious bug in your system and I can't get a response on it to either my support case or to this forum thread?!?
