  - Last modified over a year ago: run monthly
  The rules run against all the customers and are part of the DoTimedEvents call. It processes in batches, and won’t pull in more than 1000 customers on a single run. However, in the first 5 minutes after the worker thread spawns, if a batch completes, it will immediately load another batch. This is so if there are no time consuming actions (i.e. send email actions), we crunch as much data in a single pass as possible.
- HOTFIX(10.4): Can now delete customers via the import process.
4/24
- FEATURE(10.4): Added more ways to show our Upsells/May We Suggest page. Now has 3 show options, “Never”, “Always” and “ProductHasRelatedItemsOnly”. “Always” is new and allows you then to use new snapins like ‘Customers also liked’ and such without having to relate items to get that screen to show up. Setting is on Theme Manager.
- HOTFIX(10.4):Refactored merges so that all category and manufacturer merges are called from Store and Product areas and snapins. So primary category and manufacturer have all available merges. This adds the ## CATURL## and ## MFGURL## merges along with many others to product pages/snapins as well as other areas.

  - Updating customer record with affiliateID on customer login if an affiliateID already exists on the session.
  - Conversion rate was being calculated as an integer and therefore the accuracy was being dropped off.
  - Several group by issues on sp_rptSourceTotals and sp_rptAffiliateTotals was causing incorrect results. (key factor)
  - LogAffiliateCommission will now send an EmergencyAlert if it encounters an error.
  - Fixed an alias issue on viewAdCodeVisits which was causing results to be incorrectly returned to the Affiliate Console.

- FEATURE(10.2): Generic Variables and Conditional Generic Variable Merges. Create your own conditional merge types.
2/22
- HOTFIX(10.2): Fixed an issue that caused the "Leave on Server" option for Exports to not function properly. It will now go one step further and create a background worker to complete the export.

2/15
- HOTFIX(10.2): EProduct fix for different SSL domain name.
- HOTFIX(10.2): ## ADMINORDERLINK## merge send in the admin’s order confirmation email now uses the SSLDomain name when linking to the ViewOrder.

Gives the benefit of fast tax rate processing to sites that have large numbers of zip code tax rules setup (Alltec), so that there is a reduced chance of the 3 second window elapsing without returning any rates.
- HOTFIX(10.2): GiftCertificate Discount was higher than GiftCertificate limit if Subtotal was less than GiftCertificate Amount and Shipping was applied.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Affiliate Corrections
  - ## AFFILIATEPASSWORD## will now work correctly on new affiliates. Password was being encrypted incorrectly.

- HOTFIX(10.2): Added negative value support for payment method markups.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Default "variant package".
  - Basically, this allows a store owner to set up pre-defined variant options that are used by default when an item is added to the cart. Therefore, it is no longer mandatory for a customer to choose those variants. This allows a product to have a default advertised "package" that the customer gets by adding to the cart directly, or, alternatively, they can click the "Detailed Configuration" link to show all of the variant options for further customization (what many customers refer to as a "product configurator," just lacks the relationships between fields).
- HOTFIX(10.2): Corrected a null reference error on AddToCartLinkGenerator.aspx.cs.
  - Corrects WholesaleFlowersAndSupplies. STA: ticket #ACS12837.

- HOTFIX(10.2): Fixed an issue where we were using the wrong ID to select froogle information from the database.
- FEATURE(10.2): Default "variant package".
1/25
- HOTFIX(10.2): Will not fire the Warehouse Payment Received notification if the payment being processed is a refund. Added a fix for *.americommerce.com sites with login problems due to secure cookie issues. This fix just sets a new .americommerce.com cookie with an expiration date of last year so that the browser will remove it. The quick fix instead of waiting for an update would be to clear cookies.

  - Added enter key support for Search.aspx.

  - For displaying the savings on a product vs the retail price Added $$ YOUSAVE$$ control merge to product details as a default implementation.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Leaving OnePageCheckout after creating a CustomerContactOnly customer account will correctly re-display the password registration area on returning.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Fixed an issue where logging in would load the incorrect cart.
  - Empty carts can now be loaded, if it was the customer’s last cart, when logging in.
1/21
- HOTFIX(10.2): Made some performance tweaks in cart as a potential fix for poor performance with large wishlists.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Corrected an issue with zero dollar purchases being set to "Awaiting Payment".
- HOTFIX(10.2): Sites using a .americommerce.com URL will now have their cookies set for their full domain rather than *.americommerce.com

- HOTFIX(10.2): Addressed a timeout issue when exporting the customer data from the Customer List page.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Corrected an error with processing micro store merges – it was attempting to process even with no micro store present, as well as failing when no state or country was set on the store record.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Made some more MicroStore corrections regarding MicroStoreFeaturedProducts and ActiveCatalog.
  - Invalidating store cache for ActiveCatalog changes.

- HOTFIX(10.2): "Payment Received" warehouse emails are now directly triggered by approving a payment on an order, instead of being tied to order status and having to check the payment status as an extra step.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Order export data would appear shifted one column to the left if exporting with the default mappings on a store that had Customer Usernames turned off.
1/14
- HOTFIX(10.2): Fixed an issue with saving a Custom Field value if the Custom Field’s FieldWidth property was null. Was causing the transaction in AddOrder() to rollback prematurely. Should not be an issue for any custom fields that were created via the admin console, only ones dynamically generated in some way (very rare cases).
- HOTFIX(10.2): Added VetMedsRx custom snapin to source control under CustomerCode and reworked it. It will now function with the latest version of AmeriCommerce and we will know if something in it breaks.
1/13
- HOTFIX(10.2): Flipped the logical meaning of an if statement regarding MicroStores on pageTemplate.cs.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Made a performance tweak in the method that processes conditional merges
1/12
- HOTFIX(10.2): The error field highlighting script will not run on LiveDesignLoading.htm (a static page that is used as a default page for popup windows). Also corrected a minor URL formatting issue that did not affect the script's execution, where the URL to the Page Method would sometimes have two slashes after the page URL before the Page Method name instead of just one (on directory default pages, i.e. /store/admin/report//GetFieldsToHighlight)
- HOTFIX(10.2): Display CVVs on ViewOrder if user has permission to view it.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Implemented delete method for MicroStores where they will be hidden and marked as “Deleted”.

- HOTFIX(10.2): Added extra info to the personalization import/export column description
1/6
- FEATURE(10.2): Can now search custom fields from the Customer List page. The field must have the “IsSearchable” flag checked (added to the Custom Field editor).
- HOTFIX(10.2): Addressed an issue where the Payment Received dropshipper email would be triggered multiple times if the store had multiple order statuses that shared the "open" state that the order would move through and the order was paid for. Addressed this by only triggering the email the first time that the order is detected as having a payment status of "paid."
- HOTFIX(10.2): Fixed an issue where banner ads could not be hidden.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Google Checkout now functions properly again in this version (was silently erroring, Session object needed to be regenned).

  - The active cart will now be cleared properly when returning to the site from Google Checkout.
- HOTFIX(10.2): When calculating shipping, kilogram to pound conversion was not being performed correctly when an item had a quantity greater than 1.

- HOTFIX(10.2): The StoreDropDown will now default to the CurrentStore when creating a new affiliate on editAffiliate. This will always force a store to be chosen.
1/4
- HOTFIX(10.2): Added code to handle HttpContext.Current.Session being null when retrieving SiteHelper.CurrentStore.ThemeID (occurred when SiteHelper.ReWriteUrl() is called from Application_BeginRequest in the Global.asax).

12/21
- HOTFIX(10.2): Fixed an issue in the File Browser where uploading a file on the Upload Files tab would cause the Server Files tab to no longer return the file path of the selected file if selected in the same popup window as the upload was performed. File uploads require a full postback to function properly, which apparently caused some of the scripts on the page to stop functioning correctly. The content area of the Upload Files tab is now an iframe, which will keep the postback contained to a separate page from the main body of the popup.
12/17
- HOTFIX(10.2): Check ExcludeChildrenFromDisplay on ViewOrder, ctlInvoice, AmeriSync, WebService so SellParentTrackChildInventoryTransparently kit type will only show the child items on OrderEdit.
12/16
- FEATURE(10.2): Added DoNotDiscount flag to Products.
  - A new flag has been added on Products called "Do Not Discount". If this is set on a product the product's price will not be discounted by a Discount Method.
  - This field is accessible on the General tab on the Product Editor, as well as the Mass Product Editor and Import / Export.
12/10
- HOTFIX (10.2): Switching Themes on a site was not invalidating the Store object in the cache so the new ThemeID was not being set.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Discounts no longer get applied to Gift Certificates.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Adding to cart from OrderEdit with product variants / personalizations could end up with two sessions and two separate carts.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Switching Themes on a site was not invalidating the Store object in the cache so the new ThemeID was not being set.
- HOTFIX(10.2): System now prevents discounts from applying to gift certificates.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Adding to cart from OrderEdit with product variants / personalizations could end up with two sessions and two separate carts.
  - WARNING: If you are editing an order for a different site and have to supply variants / personalizations via the ProductDetails page, that item would likely never make it into the cart for the order because ActiveCart is Session based and you cannot pass sessions between stores.
12/9
- HOTFIX (10.2): LiveDesign was not working due to SecureSessionKey.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Fix for SessionThemeID.
- FEATURE (10.2): ## EXTERNALCONTENT merges will now evaluate $$ control merges if used from Custom Layout Areas. This let’s you put control merges ($$’s) inside of externally managed content files and they will still render appropriately.
12/4
- FEATURE (10.2): New conditional merges: ItemIdExists: ## IF[ ITEMIDEXISTS=1234]## - Will set the stuff between if and endif to that product’s information, and thus any product merges used between them will render. This can be used on ANY content page or email that runs through AmeriCommerce to get product information to populate. Great for making extra static product pages, inserting product information inside articles or write-ups, adding product information to email templates and much more. ItemNumberExists also works, but will look up by itemnumber instead of ID. Slightly slower call since it is a string lookup.
  - ## IF[ITEMIDEXISTS=456]##
    ##ITEMNAME## is a great product, it normally retails for ##RETAIL##, however for a limited time you can get it for ##PRICE##. Just click here: ##ITEMURL##
    
    ## ELSE##
    
    This product does not exists, please let us know…
    
    ## ENDIF##
12/3
- HOTFIX (10.2): Adjusted Product search function to adhere to new refactoring structure.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Manufacturer information added to OrderEdit, emails and viewing screens on front end. Email confirmations too. Obeys the Theme setting “Show Manufacturer on Invoices”.
11/29
- HOTFIX (10.2): Modified MainlingList.aspx to adhere to the new refactoring structure.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Increased width of EmailForm popup so horizontal scrolling not required. Replaced old CSS classes with BlackGlass.
- FEATURE (10.2): ## IF[TRACKINGCODEEXISTS]## added that will conditionally show content if there is a tracking code.
  - Example:
    ## IF[TRACKINGCODEEXISTS]##
    
    The tracking number is: ## TRACKINGCODE##
    
    And this is line 2
    
    ## ELSE##
    
    There is no tracking info on this order!
    
    Line 2 of no tracking number
    
    ## ENDIF##
- HOTFIX (10.2): Fixed inventory error on variant inventory when pulling a 0 product status.
11/28
- HOTFIX (10.2): SecureSessionKey added to use a different cookie for SSL secured pages.
11/23
- HOTFIX (10.2): Added a store text field for the PayPal Standard instruction text that appears on the View Order page. It also now appears “above the fold” and in larger text to put it in plain view.
11/19
- HOTFIX (10.2): Very small and streamlined date picker control, that works perfectly inside or outside of Update Panels.
11/16
- HOTFIX (10.2): fixed errors when deserializing session and the values were not there yet.
11/13
- HOTFIX (10.2): Modified some areas to work with the recent code refactoring.
  - Null source group on checkout, will now be an empty string
  - Null reference exception on My Account
11/11
- HOTFIX (10.2): Moved the EProduct / Gift Certificate email trigger to OrderPayment.ApprovePayment so you do not have to change order status to trigger the Payment check for delivering the EProducts when set to deliver on Paid. Email will now be triggered on a new order when using Credit Cards or Gift Certificates, from ViewOrder by changing the Payment to "Received", and from OrderEdit by applying a new approved payment or approving an existing payment.
11/10
- FEATURE (10.2): Added Store Setting to Default Mailing List Opt-In To "Checked”.
- FEATURE (10.2): AdminComments added to PhantomItems, fixed InventoryTracking error with PhantomItems.
  - AdminComments will be a new field only visible on ViewOrder in the admin and maybe OrderEdit. This is a Cart and OrderItem item-level value. This will be used for PhantomItems to store information about an item on the order that the customer shouldn’t see.
11/9
- FEATURE (10.2): Added the Category autocomplete control.
- HOTFIX(10.2): – Category autocomplete now functions on Site Explorer (last update added it to Site Explorer, but the autocomplete part wasn’t working so it acted like it wasn’t there).
11/6
- HOTFIX (10.2): Can add product groups and variants using the product search autocomplete.
11/4
- HOTFIX (10.2): Fixed an issue where having multiple Payment Gateways set to apply to “none” would error as if multiples were applied to “all”.
- FEATURE (10.2): Added the customer autocomplete and product autocomplete fields to the current Order Edit page, and hooked them up to achieve the desired behaviors. This will give us something to use for reference when adding these fields to the new Order Edit.
10/28
- HOTFIX (10.2): Fixed an issue where the cart/shipping refactoring from yesterday changed the behavior of the product-specific available regions.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Fixed an issue where rates were still displayed for regions that had been explicitly excluded via the region setting on one or more products (checkouts were already disabled when this message appeared).
10/27
- HOTFIX (10.2): Pretty heavy refactoring of shipping in acCart as well as fixes for "call for shipping.” All of the shipping logic in acCart has been re-consolidated under GetShipping. Removed duplication that was occurring in GetCart and GetContents for shipping checks. Additionally, “call for shipping” will now once again allow for checkouts.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Pressing enter on the admin console without any particular field under focus should no longer trigger the admin search, and additionally the admin search should no longer override the specified enter key handlers for some fields.
10/26
- HOTFIX (10.2): Tweaked the flash message CSS (line spacing and font color) and added a check mark image to the Flash Notices.
10/22
- FEATURE (10.2): Added Low Stock Quantity tracking to products and a way to flag a product for ‘stock warnings/alerts’, and added to import/export, mass inventory editor, mass product editor and product editor.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Page titles updated on ViewCustomer, CustomerEdit, ViewOrder, OrderEdit, ProductEdit and CategoryEdit so it will show what you are working on in the browsers tabs. Previously only said “Product Editor” or “Customer” or “Category” or many just said “AmeriCommerce” only.
10/21
- FEATURE (10.2): Added a self-contained autocomplete text box control and a customer search autocomplete control that wraps it with some logic as an example of what can be done with it. Testing page now uses this. The customer search version uses a stored proc that orders results by relevance.
10/16
- FEATURE (10.2): eProduct Email Template now configurable on the store level.

- HOTFIX(10.2): Addressed an issue where the Payment Received dropshipper email would be triggered multiple times if the store had multiple order statuses that shared the "open" state that the order would move through and the order was paid for. Addressed this by only triggering the email the first time that the order is detected as having a payment status of "paid."
- HOTFIX(10.2): Fixed an issue where banner ads could not be hidden.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Google Checkout now functions properly again in this version (was silently erroring, Session object needed to be regenned).
  - Google Checkout will now properly process child items in the cart, and will pass the Parent Product ID for each item in each item’s private data to GCO. This will fix issues where the orders would not appear in AmeriCommerce if the cart contained product groups.
  - The active cart will now be cleared properly when returning to the site from Google Checkout.
- HOTFIX(10.2): When calculating shipping, kilogram to pound conversion was not being performed correctly when an item had a quantity greater than 1.

1/5

- HOTFIX(10.2): The StoreDropDown will now default to the CurrentStore when creating a new affiliate on editAffiliate. This will always force a store to be chosen.
1/4

12/31

12/23
- HOTFIX(10.2): Customer management refinements part 1: cleanup of the customer advanced search options on the Customer List page and the addition of a few more fields.

12/21
- HOTFIX(10.2): Fixed an issue in the File Browser where uploading a file on the Upload Files tab would cause the Server Files tab to no longer return the file path of the selected file if selected in the same popup window as the upload was performed. File uploads require a full postback to function properly, which apparently caused some of the scripts on the page to stop functioning correctly. The content area of the Upload Files tab is now an iframe, which will keep the postback contained to a separate page from the main body of the popup.
12/17
- HOTFIX(10.2): Check ExcludeChildrenFromDisplay on ViewOrder, ctlInvoice, AmeriSync, WebService so SellParentTrackChildInventoryTransparently kit type will only show the child items on OrderEdit.
12/16
- FEATURE(10.2): Added DoNotDiscount flag to Products.
  - A new flag has been added on Products called "Do Not Discount". If this is set on a product the product's price will not be discounted by a Discount Method.
  - This field is accessible on the General tab on the Product Editor, as well as the Mass Product Editor and Import / Export.
12/10
- HOTFIX (10.2): Switching Themes on a site was not invalidating the Store object in the cache so the new ThemeID was not being set.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Discounts no longer get applied to Gift Certificates.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Adding to cart from OrderEdit with product variants / personalizations could end up with two sessions and two separate carts.

- HOTFIX(10.2): System now prevents discounts from applying to gift certificates.
- HOTFIX(10.2): Adding to cart from OrderEdit with product variants / personalizations could end up with two sessions and two separate carts.
  - WARNING: If you are editing an order for a different site and have to supply variants / personalizations via the ProductDetails page, that item would likely never make it into the cart for the order because ActiveCart is Session based and you cannot pass sessions between stores.
12/9
- HOTFIX (10.2): LiveDesign was not working due to SecureSessionKey.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Fix for SessionThemeID.
- FEATURE (10.2): ## EXTERNALCONTENT merges will now evaluate $$ control merges if used from Custom Layout Areas. This let’s you put control merges ($$’s) inside of externally managed content files and they will still render appropriately.
12/4
- FEATURE (10.2): New conditional merges: ItemIdExists: ## IF[ ITEMIDEXISTS=1234]## - Will set the stuff between if and endif to that product’s information, and thus any product merges used between them will render. This can be used on ANY content page or email that runs through AmeriCommerce to get product information to populate. Great for making extra static product pages, inserting product information inside articles or write-ups, adding product information to email templates and much more. ItemNumberExists also works, but will look up by itemnumber instead of ID. Slightly slower call since it is a string lookup.
  - ## IF[ITEMIDEXISTS=456]##
    ##ITEMNAME## is a great product, it normally retails for ##RETAIL##, however for a limited time you can get it for ##PRICE##. Just click here: ##ITEMURL##
    
    ## ELSE##
    
    This product does not exists, please let us know…
    
    ## ENDIF##
12/3

- HOTFIX (10.2): Manufacturer information added to OrderEdit, emails and viewing screens on front end. Email confirmations too. Obeys the Theme setting “Show Manufacturer on Invoices”.
11/29
- HOTFIX (10.2): Modified MainlingList.aspx to adhere to the new refactoring structure.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Increased width of EmailForm popup so horizontal scrolling not required. Replaced old CSS classes with BlackGlass.
- FEATURE (10.2): ## IF[TRACKINGCODEEXISTS]## added that will conditionally show content if there is a tracking code.
  - Example:
    ## IF[TRACKINGCODEEXISTS]##
    
    The tracking number is: ## TRACKINGCODE##
    
    And this is line 2
    
    ## ELSE##
    
    There is no tracking info on this order!
    
    Line 2 of no tracking number
    
    ## ENDIF##
- HOTFIX (10.2): Fixed inventory error on variant inventory when pulling a 0 product status.

- HOTFIX (10.2): SecureSessionKey added to use a different cookie for SSL secured pages.
11/23

11/16
- HOTFIX (10.2): fixed errors when deserializing session and the values were not there yet.
11/13

  - Null source group on checkout, will now be an empty string
  - Null reference exception on My Account
11/11
- HOTFIX (10.2): Moved the EProduct / Gift Certificate email trigger to OrderPayment.ApprovePayment so you do not have to change order status to trigger the Payment check for delivering the EProducts when set to deliver on Paid. Email will now be triggered on a new order when using Credit Cards or Gift Certificates, from ViewOrder by changing the Payment to "Received", and from OrderEdit by applying a new approved payment or approving an existing payment.
11/10
- FEATURE (10.2): Added Store Setting to Default Mailing List Opt-In To "Checked”.
- FEATURE (10.2): AdminComments added to PhantomItems, fixed InventoryTracking error with PhantomItems.
  - AdminComments will be a new field only visible on ViewOrder in the admin and maybe OrderEdit. This is a Cart and OrderItem item-level value. This will be used for PhantomItems to store information about an item on the order that the customer shouldn’t see.
11/9
- FEATURE (10.2): Added the Category autocomplete control.
- HOTFIX(10.2): – Category autocomplete now functions on Site Explorer (last update added it to Site Explorer, but the autocomplete part wasn’t working so it acted like it wasn’t there).
11/6
- HOTFIX (10.2): Can add product groups and variants using the product search autocomplete.
11/4
- HOTFIX (10.2): Fixed an issue where having multiple Payment Gateways set to apply to “none” would error as if multiples were applied to “all”.
- FEATURE (10.2): Added the customer autocomplete and product autocomplete fields to the current Order Edit page, and hooked them up to achieve the desired behaviors. This will give us something to use for reference when adding these fields to the new Order Edit.
10/28
- HOTFIX (10.2): Fixed an issue where the cart/shipping refactoring from yesterday changed the behavior of the product-specific available regions.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Fixed an issue where rates were still displayed for regions that had been explicitly excluded via the region setting on one or more products (checkouts were already disabled when this message appeared).
10/27
- HOTFIX (10.2): Pretty heavy refactoring of shipping in acCart as well as fixes for "call for shipping.” All of the shipping logic in acCart has been re-consolidated under GetShipping. Removed duplication that was occurring in GetCart and GetContents for shipping checks. Additionally, “call for shipping” will now once again allow for checkouts.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Pressing enter on the admin console without any particular field under focus should no longer trigger the admin search, and additionally the admin search should no longer override the specified enter key handlers for some fields.
10/26
- HOTFIX (10.2): Tweaked the flash message CSS (line spacing and font color) and added a check mark image to the Flash Notices.
10/22
- FEATURE (10.2): Added Low Stock Quantity tracking to products and a way to flag a product for ‘stock warnings/alerts’, and added to import/export, mass inventory editor, mass product editor and product editor.
- HOTFIX (10.2): Page titles updated on ViewCustomer, CustomerEdit, ViewOrder, OrderEdit, ProductEdit and CategoryEdit so it will show what you are working on in the browsers tabs. Previously only said “Product Editor” or “Customer” or “Category” or many just said “AmeriCommerce” only.
10/21
- FEATURE (10.2): Added a self-contained autocomplete text box control and a customer search autocomplete control that wraps it with some logic as an example of what can be done with it. Testing page now uses this. The customer search version uses a stored proc that orders results by relevance.
10/16
- FEATURE (10.2): eProduct Email Template now configurable on the store level.

esturrock — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:24:00 GMT

HOTFIX(10.1): Fixed a cross site scripting vulnerability on featured items snapins.

This fixes the issues people were having with them not being returned as shipping options.

1/6
- HOTFIX(10.1): Store text list page edit links were sending the wrong query string id variable to the edit page, causing it to always edit the default localization.
12/31
- HOTFIX(10.1): Fixed an issue where children group items were being assigned to the incorrect parent group item when translating cart items to order items. This should correct Remnant’s cart issue.
- HOTFIX(10.1): Saving on viewOrder will now post once, after order values are assigned. This change will correct order comments not being saved.

When a notification comes back from Google Checkout, it is not in the original session that was used by the customer placing the order, and is instead inside a session specific to the notification agent. It works around this by passing in a session object to use as an alternative, based on the session ID it has for the original customer.

- HOTFIX (10.1): Corrected issues with marking redirect URLs inactive and deleting newly made redirects from the edit page
- HOTFIX (10.1): The script to stop the default submit behavior has been slightly modified to handle keypress events rather than keydowns, as keydowns occur first and were stopping valid controls from firing their button events in Google Chrome.

9/26
- FEATURE (10.1): Adopted Factory Model/Pattern for object creation for ‘acCart’ and more in future.
9/25
- FEATURE (10.1): Cart now asserts it’s new ID on the active session immediately after posting (a global change). This helps ensure cart id is on session both in the database and in memory as soon as the cart is created. But keeps us from creating carts for every session, it’s only when needed.

- HOTFIX (10.1): Abandoned cart email query was not checking cart type Also rewrote query to be based on CartInfo instead of cart, both the query and the associated merge codes.
- HOTFIX (10.1): Fixed a strange issue going on with sessions where a + in the z query string variable did not get URL encoded and therefore translated as a space when doing the comparison against the UID in the database. This caused the session to not load from the database, instead keeping old data that was there before the change to/from SSL pages.
9/20
- FEATURE (10.1): Added Product Imports support in API using the exact same format as our CSV import under global settings. Accepts 1 or more rows of data so it can be done singly or in batches. Customers can now make timed imports and sync large datasets more reliably by using the API instead of the import tool in the admin.
- FEATURE (10.1): Added product status to Order Edit, rearranged comments to save space, moved audit history to bottom.
- FEATURE (10.1): Added new column to Order Listing, “Unshippable”, will be true if the order contains any items that force an order review such as BackorderedItems, UnavailableItems, etc. Now agents can see at a glance if the order requires review or splitting. Added to default column set too.
9/19
- HOTFIX (10.1): Rewrote Cart Stability.
- FEATURE (10.1): Rework/Refactor Importing Pulled code out to new acDataImport class. We can now access Imports from the API and Admin at same time.
9/18
- FEATURE (10.1): CART REWRITE
  - Increased size of the ‘add product’ popup and also the inner window that pops up if you have to choose variants.
  - Hid the header/footer/left/right columns when in popup mode from order edit and having to choose variants/personalizations
9/17
- FEATURE (10.1): CART REWRITE - When going to checkout or payment pages and you log in, it will not reload previous cart items from previous sessions, it will only do that when logging in on non checkout pages.
9/15
- FEATURE (10.1): Added RequestShippingAddressOnOnePageCheckout on Store Settings for store owners who don’t even want to provide the option of specifying a shipping address separate from the billing address.
9/14
- FEATURE (10.1): Added support for UPS Negotiated Rates
- HOTFIX (10.1): The Linkpoint integration with the upgraded component was still throwing errors, due to additional logic in the SSLCert property’s setter. It has been revised to fill in the properties on the Certificate prior to assignment.
9/11
- HOTFIX (10.1): Quieted a scanalert that caused error in ComponentArt
9/9

- HOTFIX (36): Subtotal was being calculated incorrectly in some cases when applying quantity discounts across variants.

There was an issue where discounts never applied for items added to the cart beyond the first in order edit, because the original check was based only on whether or not an amount was entered for the discount on this page, regardless of how it got there. Now, if a discount needs to be entered manually, checking this box will stop further auto-calculations.
- HOTFIX (36) - Added an option for the "Default" sort order to the default sort order setting on the Theme for listing pages.

9/22
- HOTFIX (36): Phantom Items - acCartHelper.cs
  - Fixed an issue that was not allowing Phantom Items to be added to Cart.
  - Adding the same Phantom Item to cart will update quantity and post instead of attempting to add to cart again.
- HOTFIX (36): Commented out Reauthorize from the Capture method for PP_WPP. Reauthorize is only allowed once in a 3 day window and was throwing an error when trying to capture.
9/21
- HOTFIX (36) - Corrected an issue where categories containing an & sign in the name would not correctly load on demand in the Category Picker, instead causing the picker to hang while displaying "Loading...".

2009 v36 - RELEASE SUMMARY

esturrock — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 22:30:00 GMT

Most of our customers are already on this version, it’s primarily a fast new version containing fixes and a few smaller new features. During this release we spent most of this time working on the 2010 v1 release which will have some exciting stuff! Here’s a recap of the highlights. As usual check out the “Ongoing Progress & Fixes” blog for the release to know every last detail included!

FEATURE: By popular demand, You can now quickly switch THEMES and STORES from the upper right side of the screen via a drop down menu.
- This saves valuable clicks and menu time when you need to work on the same screen but under multiple stores or multiple themes.

FEATURE: Cleaned up the new validation message framework for the admin console and added more robust validation to the Order Edit page.
- Additionally, we can now show a “Saved successfully” message across a redirect such as “Save & Return”
- Which, once the page loads next time around, renders like this:
- Additional screenshots:
FEATURE: Updated key payment integrations

FEATURE: New merge codes and performance and enhancements to existing ones

esturrock — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 21:55:00 GMT

- HOTFIX (35): The link copy button will update on store selection as well as save.
- HOTFIX (35): sitemap.xml is now a static file built by the DoTimedEvents webservice call. The existing SitemapGenerator.aspx and the redirects to it are still in place, but the page will now trigger the download of the static sitemap.xml file.
9/2
- HOTFIX (35): Fixed some usability issues with the category chooser, removing the postback when a category is selected and improving the load on demand of the category tree. Additionally, the category chooser will have the search box under focus when the popup loads. Enlarged the category chooser popup and corrected some styling issues that occurred when long-named categories were shown.
- HOTFIX (35): Deleting a Product Rating Dimension Group that contains dimensions that currently have ratings assigned to reviews will no longer throw an error.

9/1
- HOTFIX (35) - Fixed an issue where if clicking the "Select" button on the category chooser too soon after clicking on a category in the tree, an "unknown error" would be thrown.

Hotfixes & Small Tweaks - June

esturrock — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:38:00 GMT

In June, aside from announcing our Rackspace transition process outlined in a recent news posting, we are wrapping up testing of v5.0.35 which includes exciting deliverables including multi-dimensional product reviews with administrative moderation that fully use our newly released custom layout framework. Also included will be new integrations with Endicia LabelServer, Stone Edge Order Manager and many new performance changes.

6/30

FEATURE(35): Added “After Upsell Redirect To” option to theme manager, options include "Display The Shopping Cart", "Go Directly To Place Order"

Lets the customers choose the action that should happen after the upsell page is shown, it was going only to the place order page but can now go there or to the shopping cart.

FIX(35): “Home Page Title” to just say “Page Title” on store pages

6/26

HOTFIX (34): Hidden products for featured items snapins are now filtered in the SPs/SQL

This should prevent the problem where an inconsistent number of products would show for a snapin due to hidden products being removed before display.

FIX (35): Product feeds now pull the price calculator properly, was silently erroring and no prices were ran through the calculator.
FEATURE (35): Added css to highlight the applicable quantity in the quantity discount display.

HOTFIX(34): Added the ability to edit the iFrame.ascx attributes, scrolling and width, per instance basis.

This in turn corrected the /AccountUsageReport.aspx scrolling issue for the Bandwidth tab.

HOTFIX (34): MfgID will now be removed from the query string when redirecting to a custom URL for a manufacturer page

6/25

FEATURE(35): Added ability to choose a default variant, this variant will be selected when going to the product page (MJ wanted that years ago!)
FEATURE(35): Show the price label even when using quantity grid displays

Shows the cheapest price for that quantity AND any selected variants, it even totals all quantities entered to tally the correct price

FEATURE(35): Show a price 'range' when multiple prices apply, like with variant inventory pricing and the quantity grid

6/24
- FEATURE (34,35): “Stone Edge Order Manager Connector” released
- FEATURE (35): “Endicia Label Server Connector” Added (beta only) for producing USPS shipping labels right out of the admin console. Requires a Label Server license from Endicia.

- HOTFIX (34): Removed "admin console logo URL" from Store Settings page

6/22
- HOTFIX (34): Link group sub menus (drop downs) were not rendering when the link group snapin was placed using its merge code
6/19
- 35: Added a framework for managing client-side scripts. It is basically a wrapper around ASP.NET’s build in client side script managers, but done so they can be easily used from PageTemplate. The methods live on PageTemplateShared, and basically allow for three types of scripts: script blocks (inline JS), startup scripts (scripts placed at the end of a page so that they run after a page has loaded), and script includes. Using the built-in ASP.NET client script management features has the added benefit of organizing the javascript on a page instead of littering it all over the place, as well as preventing duplication.
6/18
- HOTFIX (34): Performance tweak for feeds, manually build the product URLs instead of calling BuildItemLink helper to try to avoid some of the overhead, eliminate other unnecessary db calls
6/17
- HOTFIX (34): Change shopzilla feed to use new product feed code to hopefully address performance concerns
- HOTFIX: Added ProductStatusID field to the Product_UpdateBasicInventoryViaDataSet web service

- FEATURE (34): Added Order_GetByEditDateRange to the API

- HOTFIX(34): Added Company to Customer Popup List grid
6/10

6/9
- HOTFIX(34): Moved search options on admin product search to master page "settings" area instead of on a separate tab
- 35: Converted order editor to use asp.net ajax instead of 3rd party callback controls
6/5
- HOTFIX(34): 3DS Gateway becomes level 2 certified
- HOTFIX (34): Improved performance and accuracy of the product counts on the admin category list (edit catalog & categories) page
6/4
- HOTFIX(34): Rewrote the manufacturer search stored procedure for performance reasons
- HOTFIX: Add new GetPrice methods to the api to get current pricing for a particular product.

- 35: Added an AJAX-friendly validation display area to the admin master page and added SetValidationMessage and ClearValidationMessage methods to PageTemplateAdmin to utilize it. If the message is an error or warning, it is displayed across all tabs.

We really want to continue focusing on our existing workflows going into the next release and tightening them up even more for mass order management because so many of our customers have grown so much since switching to us and are now processing hundreds and thousands of orders per day and need these improvements. And of course a great new multi-dimensional product reviews feature as promised!

Take a look at some of the great new features and their uses in our latest version. And as always the latest version includes all hotfixes and hotfeatures of all previous versions, you only move forward with AmeriCommerce, never back!

New Content Page & Link Selectors used across application
- Uses our new popups to search across the application by ID, name, title, content and more!
Custom Layout Framework
- Take CONTROL of your category and product page layouts as well as most front end pages. You move merges around and AmeriCommerce will evaluate the content into those spots. No more being locked into ‘standard’ looks…
- Add new widgets and controls, reviews, star controls, image zoom popups from category pages, quick product info popups and more by just changing the basic layout of those pages. And better yet, never be broken/orphaned from new releases of the AmeriCommerce system!
- Remove all unused features, CSS classes and other noise from your implementation to streamline your HTML and make keyword relevance that much higher.
- Control each area of the page, including repeated elements like in a category product listing, the paging controls, sub category area and more. basically each ‘area’ of the page has custom layout capabilities.

Global Site Template Now Using Custom Layout (using global theme settings page)

- Especially powerful if custom layout is also available on the snapin too, which means you get complete layout power and the power of the snapin too.
50+ New button themes added
- Pick from many different formats, pick the ones you like best for your theme.
New snapin: “Also Purchased Items” snapin (customers who bought this/these items also bought these items).
- On the product page it will show results for the current product
- Anywhere else it will use the items that are currently in your cart.
- Will always show the most popular items bought along with the item(s) that you are viewing/are in your cart instead of random items.
- Also properly obeys active catalog settings. It will NOT show the item you are looking at or the items that are already in your cart, just items that were ordered with those items.

- New file browser popups applied, new defaults, warehouse selection, quick help and more.
- Easier entry of new categories and selecting existing ones so you dont have to leave page.
New Google Checkout Settings Page

New paging controls for front end pages allowing setting page number and selecting other paging options

Added printable version of the Shopping Cart
- Useful for printing the items in the shopping cart and having control over it in the theme separate from the shopping cart itself. This allows you to put disclaimers and theme it completely differently and in a more printer friendly way.
View order page refreshed/redesigned
- Designed to look more like the administration console, all separate save buttons consolidated under 1 single save button for easy usage.
Added GeoIP to View Order page
