Duplicate product problems after V8.5.1 upgrade

[jont]

Are you also saying I can charge Actinic for my time in re-applying 8.5.1 for the clients whose sites are messed up due to this, or as usual I have to do the work FOC (and thus add to my already huge list of sites in the red due to V8?

Jo - as you know, we're always willing to help if we can

That's jolly decent of them ... I was holding back on v8.5.0 but can see a wealth of opportunity in upgrading now

I hope that Actinic are not going to re-issue 8.5.1 without incrementing the revision. That's just going to cause further confusion as many folk are not going to be sure what build that have unless they check the catalog.exe version and/or date size.

Hi Duncan

It will still be called 8.5.1 but when you look in 'Help | About...' it will have a different four letters at the end of the serial number. Currently the version is called 'HERA' - and the new one will be different.

but I don't want to push my luck

I upgraded a site today by mistake and saw it putting in the updated bits. The site didnt use duplicates so I dont know if it fixed anything but it didnt seem to break anything else - touch wood

Hi Malcolm,

Yep - stock control does now not work on duplicates

Can you expand on this a bit please, duplicates do not have stock of their own, it is always the main product that has the stock.

Kind regards,

Ive just noticed why its happening - on some products the duplicate product reference does not match the original product. You can see it here http://www.sandersondixon.co.uk/acatalog/Plates.html

If you look at the dove cottage plate duplicate it is in stock but if you click the more information to the main product it is out of stock. Now if you go back to the duplicate and add to cart the it will add a Swan Steamer Plate NOT a Dove Cottage Plate.

Also looking at the product references in the catalog they are different and reference the wrong main product.

Let me know when you have seen it Bruce as I am going to have to shut this site down PDQ

I have seen it Malcolm...
