Hi,

Just to advise, the code was different.  (Not changed by me, so must of been inherited from an earlier release and maybe not changed from the incremental updates).

The working Code is below if it helps anyone else:

HTML BODY SECTION:

Code Select Expand

Order:  {{ order_id }} <br/>
Date added: {{ order_date_added }} <br/>
Order status: {{ order_status }} <br/>
Invoice: {{ invoice }}<br/>
<br/>

Comment:<br/>
{{{ comment }}}<br/>

<br/>

Please reply to this email if you have any questions.

Thanks Basara for your pointer! 

Thanks for tbe info.

I will look into.

For the record, these are not my templates. These were the defaults.

I was just sharing the exact parts in question.

This worked perfectly... Thank you for your kind help.

Hello.
It looks like you're using the Novator theme. For Novator, you should add the rule into this file instead: /extensions/novator/storefront/view/novator/css/tm_style.css
Alternatively, if you prefer not to edit theme files directly, there are extensions on the marketplace that let you add custom CSS safely without modifying the template, useful if you want to keep things update-proof.

Hi

Yes thats correct, I did state that in my first post.

Thank you so much for the guidance, i'll give that a go.

Thanks again.

Hello.
You need to override CSS rule

Code Select Expand

.product-card .prod-badge {font-size: 20px;}


Thank you for this.

Which CSS file would I apply that within, or is there a way to apply it via the ababte admin interface?

(I cannot see one )

There are however 5 CSS files. I assume the 4th one? ( but appending that code to it has not done anything, even after clearing the data. Unless there is another set of CSS files?


/storefront/view/default/css


bootstrap,embeded.css
embed.css
pay.css
sytle.css
template.debug.css

Thanks

Hi,

Im using the default "Novator" theme.

I would like to know how I can amend the size of the "SALE" that is shown when an item has a discount applied, as I want to make it more prominent.

I found a separate "SALE.png" file but that appears to be not the same one.  (The difference is there is a > shaded at the end)

I have a feeling this is a text overlay thats coded somewhere, rather than an image.

Any thoughts and help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, Anyone able to help at all please?  Thanks.

Here are the screens in question...

Hi,

I am using Novator, AbanteCart Version 1.4.2

Could someone advise what might be wrong with the email that end customer gets with regards to order updates?

In the Order, you can set a status, add a comment and set to notify the customer.  But the email the customer gets is just black, the template isnt populating and its not posting the comment or order data.

Could anyone help please?

Hi Tim

Did you manage to resolve this at all?

I've been trying to do the same thing.  Even reviewing the customers preview of their order which actually shows the image against the product purchase line, but using this code so far hasnt worked...  yet.

Maybe someone has since sorted it but if this is known or could be shared it would be apprecaited.

Same question

This helped me a lot...

Hello.
For Cash on Delivery (no merchant integration), you won't see an automated refund option. Instead, you can simply add a credit transaction to the customer's account, which will act as the credit note in your records. Please see the guide Customer Transactions.

Hi

Im just getting the opportunity to follow up on your advise....

Just to clarify (or ask) I am not sure I quite follow, or if there is a bug or issue with the standard template.

As I stated before (and I am not trying to hijack this thread) based on this topic, about refunds, I seem to be missing some of the bits your referring to. Maybe this is why I am slightly lost.

As I have advised before currently we dont use a gateway at the moment at all, so its all cash and standard application (no api's ect).

So I am slightly lost when trying to follow up on your comment about the customer transactions.  I have noticed (as an example) that one customer of ours has 9 orders in the last 2 months, but these do not show at all in the transactions screen... why would this be?

Surely this should show their orders or have I a setting not set somewhere?

As there are no transactions, I cannot perform the refund stated in the documentation.  (https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/10747961/Customers+Transactions )

I assume an update will include this at some point?

Thats great, but I need ideally to give a "Credit Note" (with a Credit Note unique Number) to the customer, so they can apply the credit to their system too.  Otherwise they just have a invoice which they may have paid and no way to negate the invoice.  Legally you cannot delete an invoice, so you raise a credit note to negate the amount paid.

If there is a way to create the credit note with a unique number and print it, then thats great... but I cannot see a way to do it...

So lets say (in our scenario) :

Customer Orders
Order Invoice is created and printed with an invoice number.
Order is delivered and cash is paid to the amount of the invoice.
Customer  / Company wishes to return the item (for whatever reason) and needs a refund and credit note.
I (as you say) can apply a credit on the Abante system, which will address the financials on Abante but the customer will need to be given a credit note (plus the cash funds).  This is the normal way this should be done.

We are a small business at the moment, but we might have to move to another solution, currently we are creating manual credit notes... which is not ideal

This looks like an admin display issue only, the promotion currency is actually tied to the base store currency you've set in your store settings. You can check or update that here: Base Currency settings. That said, this is a good catch 👍 Our developer team is already working on correcting the display, and the fix will be included in the upcoming AbanteCart 1.4.3 release. Thanks for reporting it!

Glad I could help.... I'm still working on the email templates.  I get what you have said, but the point I'm making is that we need additional hooks I think or words to that effect to bring in certain data, which is available elsewhere on other platforms. I'll get back to you on this when I get chance.

Just a couple of things I noticed which kind of hurt when we migrated over that seem to be missing or awkward from past other systems we used. To update my target wish list...  (thanks to others here)..

• 1 - Image logo on email and invoice
• 2 - Product Image on Invoice purchase line
• 3 - Include Sort Order in main product summary list, so this can be set quickly instead of having to go into each product individually to set.
• 4 - Add ability for GIF images to work as product images. For example i have some small short animated gifs that id prefer to use as images instead od the complexity of videos.
• 5 - Customisable Email Templates so we can create, save and send emails out with a nice logo formatted template to our customers.
• 6 - Fix currency issue on promotions. If you only have sterling as your currency,  for some reason the promotion only offers dollars as the discounted value
• 7 - Ability to credit refund an existing order to produce a credit note and update transaction logs so reports are accurate.  The actual account gateway would separately need to be used to complete the financial transaction refund which is fine, but we need to at least credit the order in abante first. AND produce a credit note.  This ensures reports in abante are also correct.

Status of above:

#1 - This has been resolved, but IDEALLY this should be included as a default feature.  This kind person on this thread https://forum.abantecart.com/index.php/topic,11403.msg43634.html#msg43634 explains how on post #5

#2 - This has also been resolved partly thanks to this kind person on this thread here https://forum.abantecart.com/index.php/topic,11403.msg43634.html#msg43634 with their post #9.  IDEALLY I want to add this same feature to the EMAIL (as I have said before, which would be great too). 

#3 - Not resolved - This REALLY is a straight forward change to a view I think and would massively improve the Abante.

#4 - Not resolved - This really is a nice to have...  BUT would be a VERY nice to have if it was possible.  Currently animated gifs just show the frame 1.

#5 - This is resolved partly, but needs enhancements.  Its a bit clunky and we need more hooks to pull data easily into the email template. 

#6 - This is pending a fix having been accepted as an issue.  This is not resolved and hopefully will be in a future release.

#7 - TBA.

As promised...

Images to help explain my point 2.  This issue affects both Discounts and Specials.

First image shows I only have GBP Sterling enabled.



In products > Promotions, when I try and add one for my product I only have $ or a % available.  It should offer me £ or % not $ and %.


I could try deleting the $ but thats not going to bring the £ back.
