Upgrade to 2013 Stops Price Being Shown in Section - Help

[MDN]

Hi All,

Upgraded to 2013 and went ok but am stuck on one issue, bit odd, my upgrade was from V10 so I use product within a section for single product pages, all worked well and using:

<actinic:block type="ProductList" > <actinic:block type="PriceList" > <actinic:variable name="PriceLayout" /> </actinic:block> </actinic:block>

The section would display the product price, however now after the upgrade it wont, unless I have viewed the product within the section, then in preview is displays the price, but upload and no price

A really strange bit is that this section:

http://www.mdnsupplies.co.uk/shop/ca...d-sockets.html

Does show the price for the 1st item, yet same layout on all others and no price shown, I presume a variable has changed in 2013 or the layout has caused a problem so if anyone has any ideas I would be really grateful.

Thanks to everyone this year who has helped on here, Happy Christmas to all, and have a great New Year.

Try putting some informative info into the code.E.g:

<actinic:block type="ProductList" >PRODUCT
  <actinic:block type="PriceList" >PRICE
    <actinic:variable name="PriceLayout" />END PRICE
   </actinic:block>
</actinic:block>

This might help show where thing go wrong.

Also look at your pages in the Design tab and see if any errors appear.

Hi Norman,

Thanks for that, unfortunately again it only works on the sections that have been viewed, not anywhere else, or on the live site, I also dont get any errors when in the design tab.

[NormanRouxel]

Are you saying that nothing displays?

Try again with:

A<actinic:block type="ProductList" >B
  <actinic:block type="PriceList" >C
    <actinic:variable name="PriceLayout" />D
   </actinic:block>
</actinic:block>

And let us know what appears.

That's just it, nothing not even the abc, unless when in the design tab you then go into the product page and come out again, then it will display the price as well as the extra text in your code, really strange

[NormanRouxel]

Surely you get the "A". It seems impossible for that not to be showing.

As for the problem, it's not just you. I see it on a standard SD 2013 site. I see A but only get expanded prices after opening a sub-Section on the Content Tree.

It looks like SD is treating the Product List as empty until some other event (like looking at it in the Content Tree) occurs.

One for SellerDeck support when they return from the hol's.

Hi Norman,

Sorry yes A shows but BCD is not.

Thanks for your time I will have a chat with SD in the new year

As an update to this, looking at my live site now it is all working as it should, however after re-starting sellerdeck, in preview and design it has reverted back to not dsplaying the prices, I am now trying to re-trace my steps to see what made it all show on my last upload, if anyone has any thoughts please let me know.

[MDN]

Another update!

I have found that a second upload is what it takes to show the prices in the section again, 1st omits them and when the site is uploaded a 2nd time all the sections show the prices.

Hello Lee, Norman

Could you help us with further steps to replicate this? I am looking at a default site, and I can see the product prices when viewing at product list level. Am I missing something?

Regards

Hi Krithika

Thanks for looking into this, I am not really sure what I can do to help you replicate the issue, I upgraded a V10 site to V12 and so had been using section into product to create the SPP, although now not required by the V12 it would be work I dont need to swap the site.

I can send you a snapshot of the site if that would help you? if so let me know where to send it.

[Krithika]

Hi Lee

Sure, if the snapshot is less than 10MB, you can mail it to krithika [at] sellerdeck dot co dot uk. If more, I would suggest using Mailbigfile using the same email address for recipient.

Krithika,

Here's how to show this on a default (Jewellery) Site.

In SD, click the Online Catalogue in the Content tree. You should see your top-level Sections in the Page Preview pane.

Now go to Design / Library / Layouts / Section Links / Full Section Links.

Paste the following in at the bottom of the Full Section Links layout (it simply list the products in that Sub-Section):

<br />
<b>Products in this Section:</b>
<br />
<actinic:block type="ProductList" >
 <actinic:variable name="ProductName" />
 <br />
</actinic:block>

OK out of the Library and select the Online Catalogue in the Content tree. You should see your top-level Sections in the Page Preview pane with some added text. E.g. in the Rings item. You probably only see "Products in this Section:". Same in each of the Necklaces, Bracelets, etc. entries.

Now click on Rings Section in the Content Tree. Then reselect Online Catalogue in the Content tree. Now in the Page Preview pane you'll see the product names have now appeared! Weird.

These product names should have displayed right way but only seem to come active after their Section has been visited.

Many thanks Norman

I can see what's happening now. I'll have a chat with the team about this.

Krithika,

I've just amended my post #13 to make it simpler and clearer. Have another look.
