Products not showing up in Magento

After about 3 hours of trying to get 74 products into Magento from a CSV, I had success!

But even after I cleared the cache, reindexed the tables, there were STILL no products showing up on the front page.  AND my client is going to be looking at this website tonight.  Anyways, here is the solution (last graphic)

 

Enter your email address to download magento_products_not_showing_up.pdf

The PDF is half a meg. Got to protect myself from the leechers.

If you found any of this research valuable, feel free to buy me a coffee.

Accessing Resources from a child window

Moving a Resources node from the Main xaml page to a ChildWindow xaml page gave me an error:

The property ‘Resources’ does not exist on the type ‘ChildWindow’ in the XML namespace ‘clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls; assembly=System.Windows.Controls’.

Fixed it by following the post on: http://forums.silverlight.net/t/131273.aspx/1

Changed the node from:

<UserControl.Resources />

to:

<controls:ChildWindow.Resources />

Thanks Wilfred Pinto!

How to hide the tax in the products’ prices in VirtueMart?

There are two steps which must be followed in order to show the products’ prices without the tax.

First, open the Joomla administrator area->Components->VirtueMart->Admin-> Configuration->Globaltab. Make sure that the Show “(including XX% tax)” when applicable? option is not checked.

Then navigate to the Joomla administrator area->Components->VirtueMart->Shopper-> List Shopper Groups. Click on the shopper group(s) which you are using and deselect Show Prices including tax? check box.

Starting My Biztalk 2010 Certification

I have been approved for Biztalk Certification! A nice surprise. At this moment, here is what I know:

  • It is used to to interchange different types of data to different data stores to accomplish business process goals
  • Functoids are functions that are injectable into the process to manipulate data before delivery
  • There is a map GUI that is hooked up in 2010
  • I have a lot of terms to understand, I know EDI, but there are many more.
So, to be successful in this challenge, I will come up with a plan to be successful.  Stay tuned for updates.
