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)

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!

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.

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.
