Multiple Shop Layouts specific to catalogue

Hi All, thanks in advance for any help here.
I have a specific issue in relation to the way Business Catalyst handles filtering products. I love using BC but I think it's a little behind some other eCommerce platforms in this field?
1. Is anybody aware of a more advanced way of filtering products outside of the built in {tag_browsepanel}. Specifically, I wondering if their is some javascript solutions around which will allow filtering via tags etc?
2. Alternatively, does anybody know if it's possible to display slightly altered Shop layouts depending on the catalogue. For example, I'd like to offer the BrowsePanel {tag_browsepanel} on 2nd level Catalogues, but not on top level?
So a working example would be:
Top Level: Clothes (don't show browsepanel)
2nd: Clothes/Dresses (show browse panel for remaining sub-catagories e.g.: size and label). This would essentially act as a way to filter by Size or Label.
Again, thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,
I am also having issues with this. Did you figured out a solution?
I need this for a computers store, so the first level would be for example motherboards that would show in the left side a list of all the sockets (subcatalogs) and all the motherboards in the main side, after selecting the desire socket this subcatalogs menus would be replaced with the browsepanel with the porpous of filtering shown products by price range, brand, connections, etc...
Any help guidelines would be very appreciated.

Display Multiple ALV layouts on one screen

Hi,
I have created 4 ALV Catalogues named: ALVCAT1, ALVCAT2, ALVCAT3, ALVCAT4
I have also created the corresponding internal tables with data for each catalogue: ALVITAB1, ALVITAB2, ALVITAB3, ALVITAB4
I have so far used the following function to generate each of the catalogues above:
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
    EXPORTING
      I_PROGRAM_NAME     = SY-CPROG
      I_INTERNAL_TABNAME = 'ALVITAB1'
      I_INCLNAME         = SY-CPROG
    CHANGING
      ct_fieldcat        = ALVCAT1[].
And I have used the following function module to display the table as ALV:-
*DISPLAYING REPORT AS ALV GRID
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
      I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM      = SY-CPROG
      I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS_SET = 'SET_PF_STATUS'
      i_callback_user_command = 'USER_COMMAND'
      IT_FIELDCAT             = ALVCAT1[]
     i_screen_start_column = 10
     i_screen_start_line   = 15
     i_screen_end_column   = 200
     i_screen_end_line     = 20
    TABLES
      t_outtab                = ALVITAB1.
How can I now using the above function modules or similar function modules to DISPLAY multiple ALV layouts on a single SCREEN. Each layout should be treated separately with their own ALV tool bar etc.
In this case i need to display 4 screens but I have scenarios where i need to also display 5.
Would be really grateful for your guidance with source code to achieve this.....
Thnx

Creating separate online shop layouts for mobile

Is there any way to create separate shop layouts (catalogue.html, small_product.html, large_product.html, etc) for use on a mobile site. I want to limit some of the information posted to the mobile site--e.g., eliminate custom tags used in large product page-- in addition to having the ability to specify different catalogs per row, for example, on the desktop version, I have my catalogs listed 3 across--on the mobile site, I want them listed 2 across. How do I go about specifying these differences in layouts, desktop versus mobile. What is the protocol for something like this?

Hi Anne,
You should be able to o this with custom templates and the {system_visitorDeviceClass} tag. If you want no coding at all, you should be able to do the following: Create templates for mobile in the same folder as the standard ones (root > Layouts > OnlineShop. Rename all of them to something like mobile_small_product / desktop_small_product
Then you can just use any module by referencing the custom template as {module_product,63882,5450055,_top template="/Layouts/OnlineShop/{system_visitorDeviceClass}_small_product.tpl"
Kind Regards,
Alex

Multiple Queues(Content Specific) - Can't get more than two queues

Hi,
I have a ccBPM scenario, which collects messages read by the file adapter and then sends them grouped.
It's working fine in many different configurations, but I'd like to configure it in a way described in the PDF "How Tou2026 Configure Inbound Processing in ccBPM Part II: Queue Assignment", which is using Multiple queues - content specific.
If I put 2 queues (after defining a correlation for a message field batchID), it works fine. The messages with batchID=A are processed by one instance process from queue 001, and the messages with batchID=B are processed by another instance process from queue 002.
But if I put 4 queues (SWF_INB_CONF), all the message still keep going to just 2 queues, and not 4. There is no problem, because still the messages with batchID = X are all processed by the same instance process, but I want to add more parallelization to the process using 4 queues.
I've refreshed cache and reactivated, but it will still work with 2 queues and not 4. I've also made sure that the files read have 4 different batchIDs equally distributed among all the files.
I don't know what I'm missing...
Thanks!

Solved it with SAP help.
It seems that even if you config 4 queues (content-specific) to be used in SWF_INB_CONF, it is normal that not all queues allowed are used at runtime. The messages are distributed to the queues based on the correlation defined for the process, narrowing down the result afterwards to the number of allowed queues using a hash algorithm.
Often it is necessary to specify 50-100% more queues to load the actually intended number of queues with messages.
I could reach 4 queues really used setting the parameter to 10 queues.

Replace table codes with useLi in BC module template online Shop Layouts

I am having a problem in BC module template > online Shop Layouts:
Trying to get rid of Table Codes that inserted by BC system with List or possible Div
Contact with Adobe BC tech support, they suggest use this useLi tag in my online Shop Layouts. After I implement the codes below, and it doesn't work. The table code is still there on the front page:Here is the code that I implement in the module template: {tag_productlist, useLi (true)}
Below is the front page codes, you can see the table is inserted by BC system:
<table class="productTable productSmall"><tbody><tr><td id="catProdTd_9074914" class="productItem">
</td><td class="productItem"></td><td class="productItem"></td><td class="productItem"></td></tr></tbody></table>
How could I remove the table that insert by BC System? Please help!!

Hi there,
You need to look at the tag information properly,
http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/dev-assets/reference#!/tag-reference/e-commerce/online-sh op-overall-layout.html
You will see it has a lot more components to it, you need to have the commas correctly, if you do not want to specify one of the components you just leave it blank.
EG - {tag_productlist,3,,24,Alphabetical,true,true}

Can we have multiple database audit specification on a single server audit ?

Hi,
We are having a 2 node Sql Clustered instance of SqlServer 2008 R2 Enterprise running
on windows server 2008 R2. We have about 88 databases in the instance.
Our servers run on Intel Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @2.94 GHz with 6 cores(12 logical processor).
The servers are having 12GB of RAM.
We are planning to introduce database level audit to find if there is any activity on
some of our databases. These databases are not growing in size and there is a request
from the application team to ascertain whether the endusers are accessing the database
over a period of time. In this context I have 2 queries-:
1)Can we have multiple database audit specification on a single server audit ie can we
audit multiple databases to find out the user activity on those databases at a time? Or
should we a separate server audit for each database audit specification?
2)We plan to have the target of the audit on a file on the same shared volume(lun) where
the MDF file and LDF files are located(in EMC storage) and in this context what performance
monitor counters should we watch to ascertain whether there is any performance degradation
due to introduction of server audit.
Thanking you in advance
Binny Mathew.

As Auditn is at the SQL Server instance level. You can have multiple audits per SQL Server instance.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280386.aspx
Database Audit Specification
The Database Audit Specification object also belongs to a SQL Server audit. You can create one database audit specification per SQL Server database per audit.
The database audit specification collects database-level audit actions raised by the Extended Events feature. You can add either audit action groups or audit events to a database audit specification. Audit events are
the atomic actions that can be audited by the SQL Server engine. Audit action groups are predefined groups of actions. Both are at the SQL Server database scope. These actions are sent to the audit, which records
them in the target. Do not include server-scoped objects, such as the system views, in a user database audit specification.
Database-level audit action groups and audit actions are described in the topic SQL Server Audit Action Groups and Actions.
You can also consider using a Profiler trace file to capture the events.

Data Merge/Multiple Record Layout...Can you change the order?

I just had to do a mail merge with 4 postcards on a single letter size sheet. Getting them to print with 4 different addresses per sheet using the Multiple Record Layout wasnt the problem. You can choose for them to go in order from left to right or top to bottom. Ok, thats all good.
The problem I found was after cutting them, its impossible to keep them in order without doing a manual shuffle of all the cards. Is there a way to have it print in an order so when they are cut, the 4 stacks can just stack on top of each other and stay in a proper order? (using CS5)

Well you cant really resort the excel file to work that way, not quickly or easily at all anyway.
Currently it prints like this (representing the 4 corners of the page:
page 1
1    2
3   4
page 2
5    6
7    8
page 3
9    10
11   12
etc...
There is no way to keep these in order after cutting without manually going through it...not fun when you have several hundred pages. What makes a world more sense is to have it print like:
page 1
1    4
7    10
page 2
2    5
8    11
page 3
3    6
9   12
This way after its cut, the top left corner stack can go right on the top right corner stack, which goes on the bottom left corner, then bottom right corner. Now you have a full stack in numerical order.
Is it safe to say that InDesign cannot do this?

Modification of Registration-Buy form (Online shop layouts)

I am trying to simplify this form. Our online store is only using paypal-standard for payment transactions. The default form has many fields that I do not need or want. How can I strip this form of unnecessary fields and have only paypal as the payment method?
Thank you.
Catherine

Hi Catherine,
First locate your purchase form via admin panel -> site manager -> and disable credit card processing.
Next go into your registration (buy) layout locate in admin panel -> site manager -> module template -> online shop layout. Remove the unwanting payment method options. Acces the HTML view and keep the "PayPal value 5" option code present as thats the option for PayPal Standard.
Hope this helps!

Problem with business catalyst product shop layout?

I have set up a shop in business catalyst, but I am having trouble getting all the products to display on one page, 3 have moved to a second page, but left gaps on the previous page where they should fit in? Adobe support told me to post this on the forum, saying to 'alter the css and have it checked out', has anyone else had this problem? How do I fix this?
I have had this issue before and was told to weight the products, which then worked ok last time. So I now weight all product enteries, it's fine on all other pages of product catalogues in the shop, but this seems to be happeneing again on this one? See link below: page 2 from the engineered section, page 1 is fine, page 2 has gaps?
http://www.greystoneinteriors.co.uk/engineered?Page=2&Items=12

Can i just check with you that this is correct?
Thanks

Single Sign-On with multiple shops in E-Commerce 7

I have more than one shop and everything is working fine.
Right now I want to do a single sign on.
I have it working in a previous version. e-commerce v4
I'm developing in e-commerce v7.
The class PrepareLoginAction.java exists.
The action "/preparelogin" exists in the file config_user.xml, but never used.
Can anyone know why or how I can use PrepareLoginAction in v7.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Well, if you want to hear my personal opinion:
better stick to the cookie specification (http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html) and accept the constraint that cookies will only be send to domains that tail-match the domain-constraint specified in the set-cookie http response.
Although this specification is not an official internet standard most browsers are implementing the cookie mechanism according to this specification.
Unfortenately there's no option to specify that a cookie should be send to a list of servers and/or sub-domains.
However one physical server can have multiple (FQDN) hostnames. So if you intend to send the cookie to a group of servers the best approach is to create a new (DNS) (sub-)domain exclusively for those servers.
Theoretically (and also practically) it is possible to set cookies for multiple domains (by using a webservice that will set cookies on request of a caller). But that approach is dangerous:
(1) not the server but the http client is defining the content of the cookie (= part of the http server response)
(2) (unintended) many servers can obtain the cookie which will be send to all servers that reside in all (tail-matching sub-)domains; although most likely only one or two servers of each domain are intended recipients

Multiple Blog Layouts

Is it possible to have multiple overall blog layouts? I have created two blogs for my site but want slightly differnt layouts.

I guess word from higher up is that all blogs share the same template. Once Liquid is integrated it will be supported but not yet. Sorry.
(But I still can't see why it can't be done)

Enhancement of Employee Self-Service Shop by an own Catalogue (ABAP)

Hello SRM-Development-Experts
I enhanced the /SAPSRM/WDC_DODC_SC_GAF_C-WD-Component of Employee Self-Service Shop with an own ActionLink to an own WD-Component.
Details
The own WD-Component uses the interfaces /SAPSRM/WDI_L_FPC_GENERAL, /SAPSRM/WDI_L_FPC_POPUP and /IF_FPM_UI_BUILDING_BLOCK.
So the call from the V_DODC_SC_GAF_FSCA view is like this:
method ONACTIONZ_ENH_MATCAT .
DATA: lv_ref_cmp_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage,

lr_win->open( ).
endmethod.
To add products I (mis)used the /SAPSRM/IF_CLL_DODM_SC_I_IGOSV-Interface and copy pasted the content of /SAPSRM/WDC_DODC_SC_I_IGS into my WD-Comp:

          ENDLOOP.
          CLEAR: wd_comp_controller->mt_mapper.
        ENDIF.
" special message stack handling
        wd_comp_controller->mv_popup_active = abap_false.
        lo_window = lo_window_ctrl->get_window( ).
        lo_window->close( ).
      ENDIF.
    CATCH cx_root INTO lr_root.
ENDTRY.
ENDMETHOD.
So, the after closing my own WD-Component the products have been added to the basket & the basket can be properly saved.
But pushing the Next-Step-Button or Previous-Step-Button provided by the GAF framework makes the shopping basket "empty" and the Previous/Next navigation doesn't react anymore.
What is the correct approach? Documentation?
Thanks in advance.

Need best practice to deploy similar content to multiple clients with specific skins/images

Hello, my name is Bernadette. When I was with a previous employer for several years I created WebHelp using RoboHelp 8. Then, the last two years I worked there I transitioned to MadCap Flare again creating WebHelp. I have been with a new employer two years now, using RoboHelp again. However, this company still has us creating HTML Help only. My manager has just assigned me to create and launch our first WebHelp project. Currently, we have RoboHelp 8, with a P.O. in process to purchase version 9 hopefully very soon. However, I cannot wait and have just started the project using version 8. Since it's been a few years, I am a tad rusty in my use of RoboHelp/WebHelp. For this first project, I have been asked to customize the skin for EACH client that transitions to the new proprietary application. My question is, since it is likely that the contents of the completed WebHelp project will be identical (with the exception of the customized customer-specific skins, logos and window images) is there a creative, timesaving method for rolling out primarily the same content to each customer WITHOUT the need for me to maintain numerous, individual WebHelp projects? I so appreciate any input or suggestions. Thank you!

Hello Peter and Jeff, there IS the potential for eventually reaching a HUGE number of customers, but I would expect that to take at least a good number of months or beyond to get to that stage. As for Peter's question about variables, I have used conditional build tags in the past, which I know is a variable, but I am not certain what else might be included in the category.
I was not aware that it is possible, within a single project, to create and maintain different versions of the same layout type, namely WebHelp by creating duplicates for each customer. This could be challenging, but fun! So, as I get further into this I assume you are both "on call" for additional questions? Thank you both so much for your rapid responses.

Create multiple pages layout in Smartforms?

Hei guys,
I need to create a Smartform which has two parts. The top portion will remain the same, but it could possibly be more then one page because of size of text. The second part will have different values but the size will always be the same.
Now we need to print multiple pages where the second the part will be different.
I know that i will need to create a first page and a next page. But do i need to create two main windows in first page, one for each part. And what do i need to have in next page?
Any help/suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks
Nahman

Hei,
I have now worked on the Smartform. I am still struggling little bit. This is what i have now:
I have one main which have 3 tables. The first two tables are displayed in the top portion of the page. As they are based on internal tables the number of rows will be different, so we dont know the exact size.
In the bottom portion i have a table which is also based on an internal table. Now in this case we only want to print one row and then jump to next page where i want to display the top portion again and the next line of bottom portion. The issue i have right now is that the bottom portion needs to be printed on a fixed place of page. But what happens is that after first row is printed, and it goes to next page and starts printed on top of the next page. I dont want that.
What i need is that the third table prints once on each page on a fixed position. Because once these pages are printed, they are not printed on a blank pages but a on a form where bottom portion values needs to be printed on specific fields.
Thanks

Sure. Print the first threee pages to PDF in landscape, the remaining seven in portrait, then combine them in Acrobat either by opening the first and inserting pages from the second or by using File>Create PDF>From multiple files.
