eCommerce Craziness??
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I bought and installed ecommerce this morning. It comes loaded with ducks! LOL Do I just delete those one by one or is there an easy way to do it?
The other thing is somehow part of eCommerce somehow attached to my "Sale and Clearance" section, and I'm not sure if I can just delete those things or if deleting them will screw something up.
Here's the link to see what I'm talking about:http://newsite.bikepartjewelry.com/index.php/sale-and-clearance-ite... - if you do the slide out menu, there's stuff like Finish, Discount, Billing...none of that should be there.
What do I do?
Thanks!

Check my page paths....how do I do that?
:D
:D
Also, I uninstalled and reinstalled eCommerce, and the same darn thing happened - somehow those same things were installed under my Sale page again.
Am I doing something wrong? I installed from Dashboard....
I also am getting errors; here is the link to billing:http://newsite.bikepartjewelry.com/index.php/checkout/billing/... - a couple other pages have similar errors. What do I do?

if your using superfish menu, you have to chage the page attribut to "not show child pages", I also edit the page Attributs for each page and click to "exlcude from NAV".

To check the paths, put the page in Edit mode, click Properties, there's a tab for paths.
I didn't see any errors on that link above, but there's also no other design. You'll want to style/design your full width page, Ecommerce seems to use that for all the checkout pages.
I've only installed it once myself, so I'm no expert, but it sounds like there's a few issues you had that I didn't. I didn't install from the dashboard by the way, I downloaded it and then uploaded to /packages and did it that way. Not sure if that's where the difference is.

@hbartlett:
thank you for the info. I figured out that the errors show up in Firefox, but not in IE.
Also, is it simple to install by uploading to /packages? I am very new to all this, but really want to get this working!
Thanks again for your help.

Ya it's simple, just download the package, unzip it, upload the folder to /packages, then go to your dashboard and it will be there to install. That's the way we used to do it just a few months ago for everything.
The reason I did it the download way is a) I'm just used to installing packages like that, b) in case there's a couple of files you want to modify, which I did, and c) even though I pay for the license for each site, it's nice to be able to get it installed first to get it worked out. I have another ecommerce C5 site to do right away so that will be handy.
I've used other ecommerce (non-C5) before and it's painful, this one is actually quite nice if you want just a simple online store. I was surprised and just how well it worked. But, don't expect advanced features.
By the way, you can see the store I just put up athttp://www.annschroederstudio.com...

heh...well, I tried it the way you described and it's still doing the same thing with adding the discount, etc stuff to the bottom superfish menu. I truly don't get it.
Should I not have created any portions of my website prior to installing ecommerce? Could that be causing problems? That doesn't sound right.
Could it be as simple as changing a setting on my menu?
I'm lost...and frustrated. :(

Meh, I had the main sections on that site before I added ecomm. I don't think that's it. It could be the settings on your menu. I've never used Superfish so again I'm not sure, I tend to shy away from memu systems like that. The more I think about it, the more it sounds like your navigation. Don't know why it automatically went to that button though.
What if you just go to those pages and check off exclude from Nav? (Edit > Properties).

Yes yes yes! It finally seeped into my head how/where to do this. And worked like a charm.
Thank you sooo much! :D

BTW, I love the site - it's clean and easy to maneuver about. It's got a very nice balance between white and color.
Thanks, alot of work went into that site. Heavy use of the new layout feature.
yes, the site looks good. :) We've done a few coreCommerce sites as well and we're fairly happen with them too. The Superfish note is a good heads up since a few of the sites might be using that in the future.
@hbarlett: I noticed that you're using the Blog on her site. I've been experimenting with it on a few sites but haven't actually rolled it out for them. How do you like it so far? I've been doing a compare and contrast with Wordpress. I noted that you have a function to move back and forth from post to post. Is that built in or is in hard-coded/another block (like the Next and Previous block)?

Ya, just delete the ducks. Although I don't remember them being loaded when I installed ecommerce - there may have been an option to install sample data, not sure.
