List of bugs in nop2.0 MVC BETA

Information:

1. nopCommerce version - 2.0 BETA
2. Any private modifications you made to your nopCommerce - NO
3. The version of MS SQL database you're running nopCommerce with - 2008


First of all I would like to mention that the new 2.0version looks amazing and nopTeam have done a great job by developing this project from scratch in MVC.

While testing the 2.0BETA version I came across few bugs that I am reporting here since that's the main goal of releasing BETA version so that all the bugs could be fixed before the official release and we all can help in making nopComemrce a SOLID eCommerce solution.


----------------------------------
Bugs
----------------------------------


1) Design Bug in product variant buttons

The price and buttons are not properly aligned (in both themes).

2) Placing Order

On order completion, when customer clicks on "Continue" button - he/she is navigated to /common page which doesn't exists.

Screen-shots:

This is when customer gets "Continue" button: http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/9764/continuebt.jpg

As soon as customer clicks on "Continue" button, he/she gets this ERROR: http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/2010/commond.jpg



3) PDF Invoice

Store logo doesn't show up in PDF invoice (tried saving the pdflogo.img in /Images folder) - Still no luck

I can see Andrei, you added a NEW changeset here for PDF logo image: http://nopcommerce.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets


(I am assuming that it is a fix for this issue - not tested yet)

Update: I just tested Favicon.ico Not Working!!!




4) INCOMPLETE Product SKU in E-mail copy of Invoice

I added SKU & MPN to few products > placed a test order:

In Packaging slip, the SKU is visible: http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/2201/82104283.jpg

BUT, only first 3 letters of SKU are present in E-mail invoice: http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/4365/emailsku.jpg



5) Order Notes in PDF Invoice

a) No Resource Value for PDFInvoice.OrderNotes.CreatedOn: http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7973/on1oa.jpg

b) No Resource Value for PDFInvoice.OrderNotes.Note: http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/2862/on2v.jpg

6) Save & Continue Button In Product Variant

If store owner wants to make any modification in product variant > after modification when store owner press the button "Save and Continue", user gets navigated to product  edit page.

This could be by design but technically, it should stay on the same location. Right now the process becomes very long because store owner has to go back to Product Variant tab then click on variant again and again (for every change).

Tested on Browser: I.E 7


7) Few Highlighted Buttons

In Admin section > Catalog > Products > Manage Product

If store owner wants to search any product > enters name in the text box "Product name: " > if store owner press "ENTER" key, instead of getting the search result "IMPORT FROM EXCEL" pops up because if we notice the button "Import from excel" is HIGHLIGHTED BY DEFAULT.

So right now store admin has to manually click on "Search" button

Apart from the above Bugs
----------------------------------------

Shipping Rate Calculation

I think this topic has been discussed in past (in form of bugs) and need more attention because it is very important part of an eCommerce business.

I am NOT saying that, this is 100% "a bug" (it could be by design) but still I found few things that I would like to mention here:

a) I tested the shipping rate of "FedEx" and it seems like shipping rate calculation is ignoring the dimensions.

I testing a product "Toshiba Satellite A305-S6908 15.4-Inch Laptop" with dimensions 7 X 7 X 7 and I got this rate:

Then I increased the dimensions to 20 X 20 X 20 and I got the SAME rate:

b) Still no option for different boxes. Since in eCommerce business owner deals with different products. Let's take example of demo nopCommerce site. If customer order for 2 products ( shoes and laptop) - Obviously shoes are not going to be shipped with laptop. So technically there will be 2 boxes and right now we don't have any option for separate packing / box. I think with each product there should be an option something like "Separate Packaging" which will also solve the problem that if anyone order QUANTITY 2, it means 2 separate boxes (this is the case of many online stores.

c) We still don't have any option for selecting "Packaging Type" and declaring value for shipping product(s). Here is the the screenshot from FEDEX website: http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7044/feship.jpg

If store owner get's the products shipped directly from manufacturer. - The store owner doesn't get option to select "Packaging Type"  in website for charging customer for shipping fee - The shipping from manufacturere's side in respect of "Packaging Type" could be expensive from what store owner is charging from customer.

I am not saying that these shipping options should be available in 2.0 because I know it was a very long process of developing the complete project from scratch in MVC. I just want to highlight these things/features so that nopTeam can look into it and these features should be available in future versions.




------------------------------------------
Missing Stuff and Suggestions
------------------------------------------

1) No captcha image

2) No topic page "password protection"

3) No option to disable: Redirect Cart After Adding Product

4) Blacklist IP address - I know it can be done through IIS (or .htaccess) but having this option in admin section makes it easy for any store owner.

5) Paypal Express should be included in the default nopCommerce project (I know it can be added by plugin but still I think it is commonly used payment method by majority of store owners).
I know Andrei you mentioned here: https://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/10565/nopcommerce-v200-beta-released.aspx?p=5 that main aim is to make nopCommerce pluggable which is great (I totally agree with you).

I have used ASP.NET Orchard CMS which is pluggable and easy to use. nopCommerce following same pattern will be great.

I know it is hard for nopTeam to support so many payment modules. It could be my personal point of view but paypal is one of the commonly used payment method so it should be available by default (direct/standard/express).

1. fixed, removed "float:left;" from  '.product-variant-line .add-info' in stylesheets

2. fixed, changed controller to "home" in 'Completed' view

3. PDF logo is loaded from \Content\Images\pdflogo.img (tested, working)
   favicon.ico goes in root of site (tested, working)

4. fixed, updated locale resource string "Messages.Order.Product(s).SKU" from "SKU" to "SKU: {0}"

5. fixed, added resources strings to defaultResources.public.nopres.xml

6. Could not reproduce; clicking "Save and Continue Edit" on product variant details page stays on product variant details page after save. Clicking the "Save" button returns to the product details after saving product variant. Tested on FF and IE. What browser are you using?

7. fixed, added jQuery code to click "Search" button when enter key is pressed in "Product name" textbox. Also fixed "Go directly to product SKU" to click "Go" button when enter is pressed. (in product List view).

The bugs you reported, along with some additional ones, have been fixed in the following change set:

.

Great!!! Thanks mb...

I will test rest of the application so that other bugs could be fixed (if there is any) before the official release.

is it ok to have same Friendly name for 3 payment methods or is it a bug? it is in http://.../Admin/Payment/Methods

Paypal direct Not Workin - I did setup with sandbox but in checkout I don't see paypal option infact I see 2 credit card  options. is it bcz of same friendly name? I checked both and both are credit card no paypal option, why ?

on homepage, when I click on news RSS icon, I get error - Feed code error (using IE7 browser)

pepper wrote:

PayPal direct means that you can pay with credit/debit card on your website and you will get money to your paypal account.

PayPal button is shown only in PayPal Express payment mode.

so if i activate it there will be 2 credit card if manual process is ON, how customer will know which one 2 use or they can be confused with 2 credit card options in checkout.

all RSS FEEDs are not working in IE7 (new products, forums, news, blog)

when i click on RSS FEED icon, i get - Feed code error (Internet Explorer cannot display this feed)

thankyou

pepper wrote:

Why do you need 2 credit card payment methods? you need to keep only one whichever is greater for you.

I think RSS FEEDS will be included in final release.

Hi All,

Downloaded the Beta yesterday; and having hacked the MVC 3 installation into working properly have got the site running.

For the benefit of those searching for advice on how to get AspNetMVC3Tools to install (having seen errors about projects that couldn't be opened); particularly after having installed Visual Studio 2010 SP1. The trick is to expand the MVC3 setup files and run the msi files individually (skip the install of KB2483190).

That aside, a couple of observations about the Beta:

On the product admin page  (e.g. http://localhost:1473/Admin/Product/Edit/5) the HTMLEditor control no longer has the bottom toolbar giving the functions to toggle between Design, HTML and Preview views.

Also, in 1.8 it has been really handy to have a hyperlink to the public product page so that the product/variant can be previewed properly before being published. Can this be added back in?

Many thanks,
Allister

It has. Look at "wheel/cogwheel" button (HtmlEditor toolbar)
