Is it possible for us to change the warning messages that come back from the basket.validate method?

Are those part of the database or config file or a resource file or something?

I have a client who wants to reword the out of stock messages and I really don't want to trap the actual message in code and replace them with my own. Seems like that would be prone to errors.

You need to make changes in resource messages. Read following bug report, it contains detailed procedure of changing and recompiling resources assembly.

Mazhar, thanks for posting this. I know the list of enhancements in 7.0.3 stated that resources were open source, but I hadn't been able to search out a way to change things in the time that I had.

Sounds great. If I read the bug report correctly I just need to change the resx file and then recompile that into a dll and replace the one in the bin. But where do I get the resx file?

Per Naveed

Copy the CommerceBuilder/Properties/Resources.resx file to some temporary
location. This is the only file we need to publish/provide customers for
customizing the string resources.

where do I get that file? Or am I missing something?

Hi Folks
I have created a new WIKI topic about how to change string messages coming out from back end code defined as string resources here
http://wiki.ablecommerce.com/index.php/ ... _resources
You can download Resource.rex and compile.bat file from this WIKI topic.

Excellent. Thanks mazhar.

Hey mazhar, you still around?

I am revisiting this old post here and am wondering if this solution is applicable to AC Gold?

I can't locate a resources.resx file for that version and I don't want to grab an old one.

Do you have any suggestions?

same question. How do you change warning messages for AC gold???
