nopCommerce 1.90 is coming in 14 days. Beta testers needed.

thank you nopcommerce team.

Can anyone tell me how to use these things :

- How customer do the return request ? how it works ?
I want to test :
•  Email a store owner when a customer makes a return request
•  Email a customer after return request state change

- How "Preselect a shipping method and payment method" is different from existing version and how it works ?

- What is the difference between :  (Export newsletter subscriptions - export all / export active) - how active is different from all ?

All good so far guys ( I particularly like 'product variants' on Products.aspx )

but i agree with linkXperts :

ACL on categories seems to be implemented the wrong way round - more importanty, it makes no sense if a category is restricted but the items in it can be viewed by anyone anyway - either by searching the store or by a link from a search  engine or maybe even e-mailed by a friend, from someone else's wishlist ....

so the obvious thing to do ( in my head anyway !) is to reverse the implementation and either extend ACL to products or to automatically restrict products if they are in a restricted category

I had a suggestion on codeplex :

Allow advanced search to search only by price (not just search term+price)

according to codeplex, it's released in 1.9 - but i just tried it and i can't get it to work


Search.ProductSearchTermMinimumLength = 0

tried searching for products by price only and no results are returned

am I missing something ?? - i also tried leaving

Search.ProductSearchTermMinimumLength

empty

but still, i can't search only by price

Great new text editor it's really good idea..!!!

On the user profile info page (example.com/profile.aspx?userid=37), "Latest Posts" tab, the value for the resource name Profile.PostedOn should be changed from "Posted On" to "Posted" so that the string is appropriate whether RelativeDateTimeFormattingEnabled is true or false.

So instead of
Posted On: Wednesday, November 24, 2010 2:04 AM
or
Posted On: 2 minutes ago

It will display the following and work for both settings of RelativeDateTimeFormattingEnabled

Suggestion: Style 'Upload avatar' and 'Remove avatar' buttons like other buttons for the darkOrange theme.

Screenshots:
Current avatar buttons style
Style after modification

In file Modules\CustomerAvatar.ascx,

change current code from:

    <div class="section-body">
        <asp:Image ID="iAvatar" runat="server" AlternateText="Avatar" />
        <br />
        <asp:FileUpload ID="fuAvatar" runat="server" ToolTip="Choose a new avatar image to upload." />
        <br />
        <asp:Button ID="btnUploadAvatar" runat="server" OnClick="btnUploadAvatar_Click" Text="<% $NopResources:Account.UploadAvatar %>" /><br
            style="line-height: 6px;" />
        <%=GetLocaleResourceString("Account.UploadAvatarRules")%>
    </div>
    <div class="clear">
    </div>
    <div class="button">
        <asp:Button ID="btnRemoveAvatar" runat="server" OnClick="btnRemoveAvatar_Click" Text="<% $NopResources:Account.RemoveAvatar %>"
            CausesValidation="false" /><br style="line-height: 1px;" />
    </div>

to the following:

    <div class="section-body">
        <asp:Image ID="iAvatar" runat="server" AlternateText="Avatar" />
        <br />
        <asp:FileUpload ID="fuAvatar" runat="server" ToolTip="Choose a new avatar image to upload." />
        <div class="button">
            <asp:Button ID="btnUploadAvatar" runat="server" OnClick="btnUploadAvatar_Click" 
                CssClass="uploadavatarbutton" Text="<% $NopResources:Account.UploadAvatar %>" />
            <asp:Button ID="btnRemoveAvatar" runat="server" OnClick="btnRemoveAvatar_Click" 
                CssClass="removeavatarbutton" Text="<% $NopResources:Account.RemoveAvatar %>" 
                CausesValidation="false" />
        </div>
        <%=GetLocaleResourceString("Account.UploadAvatarRules")%>
    </div>

Add the following style rule to App_Themes\darkOrange\styles.css

.customer-avatar .button
{
    margin: 5px 0;
}

and add class name ".uploadavatarbutton" to the orange button style (line 863)
and add class name ".removeavatarbutton" to the grey button style (line 880)

Just my two cents here: In scandinavia and many other countries the address is written as what you say is the "wrong address"

So if you fix it, it will create another bug.

See address formats here: http://www.bitboost.com/ref/international-address-formats.html#Formats


Maybe look at the country for shipping and format address accordingly. That would be über cool...

EDIT: a better list can be found her: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc195167.aspx

It must be possible to make som dynamic logic for this. Maybe simpley screen scraping is good enough?

There are some typos in the new resource strings.

In file Install\Scripts\nopCommerce_createData.sql (corrected values underlined)

Line 6717:
    INSERT [dbo].[Nop_LocaleStringResource] ([LocaleStringResourceID], [LanguageID], [ResourceName], [ResourceValue]) VALUES (12135, 7, N'Admin.GlobalSettings.Profiles.NotifyAboutPrivateMessages.Tooltip', N'Notify customers when new a private messages is sent.')
should be:
    INSERT [dbo].[Nop_LocaleStringResource] ([LocaleStringResourceID], [LanguageID], [ResourceName], [ResourceValue]) VALUES (12135, 7, N'Admin.GlobalSettings.Profiles.NotifyAboutPrivateMessages.Tooltip', N'Notify customers when a new private message is sent.')

Line 6741:
    INSERT [dbo].[Nop_LocaleStringResource] ([LocaleStringResourceID], [LanguageID], [ResourceName], [ResourceValue]) VALUES (12159, 7, N'Admin.GlobalSettings.Media.StoreImagesInDB.Tooltip', N'A value indicationing whether pictures are stored into database or filesystem.')
should be:

Grat news !! and a big thank you to all nopCommerce team..
i downloaded the beta 1.9 version and i yust testing this version
this is my suggest :

- What do you think about to add gravatar images ?

- It would be wonderful to manage the part of supplier management and related orders

- I think need in Product table the field "package qty" (if my product can be buyed in package)

- The same product can be distributed by different suppliers with different prices, so product can be linked to supplier

This is all for now..

I hope my suggestions can help you to make a product better and better,
and if I help you with Italian language......

My goodness Andrei that list looks absolutely brilliant. Your productivity is quite incredible!
