[Test " Foo & Bar]

When an admin creates a category or product and they don't enter an SEO string you guys autogenerate one from the title and replace spaces with underscores.   Allow me to define that.  I should be allowed to use dashes, underscores or no spaces at all.  All are valid in the SEO world and each person has their preferences.. (I prefer dashes)

Note:  Right now if I enter  Test " Foo & Bar as my SEO string for something it converts to this; store.com/Test%20Category%20%22%20Foo%20&%20Bar

That's broken.  It should lower case it, convert the spaces to the users choice of dash, underscore or nothing, and strip all characters ^[a-zA-Z0-9]

Hi.
What version of AbanteCart do you use?
I am just check 0.9.2 version and when create product with "Foo & Bar" product name abantecart create seo keyword "foo_&_bar", it is lowercase and more SEO friendly

Hello, Palamedes.

You need to enable Subtract Stock for the product you wish not add to cart when it is out of stock.
go to Admin-Catalog-Products- find your product and click edit - find "Subtract Stock" setting and select "Yes". Save changes.

Then try to add to cart it. AbanteCart display message "Products marked with *** are not available in the desired quantity or not in stock!" on shopping cart page (Note: if product have quantuty less than in your cart  )

Dear Abante Cart Admin
How can i have a template installed on AbanteCart?
Do you have any documentations?
Thank you very much.

Hi. Try this article
http://www.abantecart.com/ecommerce-documentation/61-user-manual/admin-user-manual/extensions-menu/extension-store

It looks like if you delete everything out of system/cache after a restore that fixes a bunch of issues.

Not sure about media though.. That one might be more tricky..   I copied the images from one install to the mirror install and half the images still don't work which I find.. strange..

Did You try to clear AbanteCart cache in admin front?

I can confirm only issue with images files, we will fix it. Others like categories/products/manufacturers/layouts are successfully restored (if clear abantecart cache after import)

Suggestions:

1.  Product options that augment price via a flat dollar rate or percentage should have that augmented amount listed as + $ or + %, not just the $ or %.

2.  Product options should be able to augment price both up and down.  I should be able to set an option that reduces a price.  (That price should then be shown as - % or - % )

3.  Product option values need to have the select box wider in the admin area as right now it's the same width as the subtract stock and prefix select box which is too narrow.

4.  When setting a product option I should be able to set which of the values is default --- this is especially important with radio buttons and when you have it as "required"

Submitted some bugs around the display as it's kinda broken in a couple places.  The product options area needs some love =)

Hi, Palamedes.

Thank You for the post  .
2. Yes this is a bug. will be fixed in next version.
4. This have sense for radio element. We will research.

Also, on the inventory, I have the products set up to subtract once something sells. And if it sells out it places OUT OF STOCK on it. Well, it does not say out of stock nor does subtract when I have run test orders. I have it so that it does not allow for check out of out of stock items, but it still allows check out.

Hi, jrm.

what version of AbanteCart do You use?
I am just check the latest 0.9.2 version and AbanteCart doesnt allow to checkout if set in the product "Subtract Stock" value to YES (when quantity of product is 0)

I suggest not to use the existing image manager. Working with them takes too much time and effort.
