Re: Production Release 8 Bugs-Picklist error

Is anyone else using the picklist report? I'm sure it's not a coding error on my part since I temporarily reverted back to the original Miva template code and experienced the same problem. I put in some custom SQL (, using the toolbelt), as a temporary fix since my client relies upon the picklist, but I really want to yank it out.

I've been unable to reproduce the issue with the default Shipment Picklist template code from PR7 or PR8. What shipping module(s) are you using, and is there any pattern where the shipments showing a method of "Unknown" correlate to a particular module?

Additional Product Image Permissions Error

When uploading the additional images some of them do not get world readable permissions. The affect is that the full size image cannot be shown in the popup. It is blank. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason for the differences. It is random. Here are two files that were uploaded. Both successfully created the smaller 274x274 image. But only the bogus4u.jpg displays in the popup. Both of these images are listed as the url for the custom product images. However, if you put the bogus5f.jpg url in the browser location, you get the alternate page not found screen. No image.

-rw------- 1 emporiumplus psacln 6461 Jul 24 08:13 bogus5f.jpg

This is resulting in the inability to comply with the new Google Product feed requirements as the url is going to a bad page instead of a readable image.

Not only does the bug need to be fixed, but the next MM update needs to retroactively fix the permissons on images in the additional product image database. Hundreds of stores have begun uploading the additional images and will be quite upset if they have to re-upload everything in order for Google to accept their feed.

It appears that we're not explicitly setting the permissions on uploaded additional images or generated images. This means the permissions will be subject to whatever the umask is, which will make the behavior inconsistent.

I've filed this bug http://bugzilla.mivamerchant.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6424 and marked it for inclusion in the next patch.

Seconding that, I had the exactly same issue with Chrome that was fixed by clearing the cache.

Re: Production Release 8 Bugs

not sure if anyone else has this problem but I cannot edit a product's attributes in IE9. I can click edit product and click everywhere else but when I click on Edit Here on an attribute it does nothing.

Try to clear your cache, Christine - that might do the trick

Basket Weight API function is broken

Shipping modules which use the API function basket_weight to retrieve the weight of the order may not return a correct weight if the order contains inventory variant items. It appears that if you create variants you have to put the weight of the product into each variant, instead of the master product. If you don't, the basket_weight API function sees it as zero. A store contacted miva support and they blamed it on the shipping module and said I need to fix it. I'm not sure if they expected me to fix the API basket_weight function in miva's library or somehow assign weights to the product variants within the shipping module. Needless to say, I can't fix it from my end.

I can see why each variant needs a weight. For example, buying a music album.
LP - 1 pound
CD - 1/2 pound
download - 0 pounds

Perhaps there should be a checkbox in the variant screen that if the weights are really 0, you have to check the box in order to save the entries with no weights. Failure of the store to configure their data correctly ends up involving support (who just pushed it off on the module supplier to "fix" it) and me to diagnose the real problem with the API and how that affects ALL weight based shipping modules.

Re: Production Release 8 Bugs

Jim,

You should post your template code (in another thread). That's definitely not a "bug" in the sense of this thread and we didn't automatically make any template changes (for swatches or otherwise) to your templates, so it's something in there.

I just added "nowrap" to the table with the text in it as a workaround.

FYI: didn't have to do this before upgrading to Version 8 and activating the image machine. (no modification were made to the templates by us)

Re: Production Release 8 Bugs

Since upgrading to Version 8 and activating the image machine, there is excessive padding around the image on the product page. This squeezes the product details (qty in basket, price, stock status, etc.) to the right of the image and causes it to wrap - making it look bad since they is plenty of white space to the left of it.

I have searched all the templates and cannot find any padding higher than 5px. There is at least 100px that is not accounted for.

After reading the html in view page source, it appears that space may be reserved to the right of the product image for swatches but I cannot see where to adjust this or turn it off. We do not sell items that come in multiple colors and will never require swatches.

If I am correct about the space being reserved for swatches, is there a way to turn this off and recover that space?

Re: Production Release 8 Bugs

yes, you did. You know what yesterday I activated the extra email templates, I wonder if that is conflicting??

Re: Production Release 8 Bugs

Yeah we put you on PR8 on Tuesday if I recall.

[DEXTERITY]

Re: Production Release 8 Bugs

Thanks for responding. It's odd because it was working yesterday morning and then stopped working later in the day. If I'm not mistaken I was upgraded to PR8 a few days ago. I'm waiting to hear back from emedia as I don't see a way to check for upgrades via miva and I'm having a hard time finding that information in their website.

Re: Production Release 8 Bugs

We use that module too and don't have that issue on pr8. I would check with emedia for an update.

Re: Production Release 8 Bugs

Did anyone else lose their download abilities via the soft goods mod (emedia)? Ever since my upgrade to PR8 it has stopped working and there is a number 1 in place of where it use to be via the product edit screen in miva admin. very frustrating.

I also don't see an easy way to see if there is an upgrade via miva admin.
