Timeframed Bestsellers

[lesliekirk]

I've been doing what Leslie suggested since 2009.. been using it in all my miva stores to determine what products should be placed in a bestsellers category and updating them via cron (and now via store scheduled task). However, it seems something in the last update to miva 9.12 is having a problem with the toolkit bestsellers... I haven't ascertained for sure yet if that is the issue... but I"m pretty sure. I've gotten miva support involved and pointed them at toolkit not behaving with 9.12 as maybe an issue. Leslie is yours still working properly?

Is there anything specific I should be looking for? Is it all the Toolkit functions that each and every one of us have carefully crafted? Or is this just related to the Bestseller function of the Toolkit?

Sorry, I just saw - Bestsellers.

Ghm... So far toolkit bestsellers works for us as before. v 9.12.02

Yep... Miva devs confirmed bug in 9.12.02.. they are working on it right now... I don't know if it is just the bestsellers function of toolkit... that is the only thing I know for sure is broken right now.

one more thing... when I run the marketing feed manually (using the marketing:feeds:process now button) the feed that contains toolkit bestsellers runs just fine. BUT!!! when that same feed is run using the store settings:scheduled tasks... then the toolkit bestsellers does not work. Very odd! And has something to do with the scheduled tasks...

My guess it might be the security changes and maybe that the scheduled tasks routines were changed slightly in 9.12.2 and are not allowed to do something that previously they could.

Miva devs confirmed that whatever the issue is, it does have to do with 9.12.2 and some code that was removed. That's all I know at this point. I do know they have the three top gurus at Miva involved right now.

Everyone following this thread... here is the fix..
right before your toolkit bestsellers storemorph code... insert this:

<mvt:assign name="g.Module_Store_Module_Currency" value="g.Module_Root $ g.Store:currncy_mod:module" />

and that will fix it.

Thank you much. The store that I was having issues with wasn't using the "timeframe" function. That could explain why it didn't break. Would there be any harm with including the snippet just in case?

[kayakbabe]

I don't know. but I do think it is weird that including currency would matter when the module is looking at a timestamp.

Maybe it has to do with the version of the toolkit you are using.
