Hi, all. I have a site which is designed to check its stock figure and disallow checkout without sufficient stock & deduct each sale.
The flags in the admin UI are set correctly. (Check stock fig/ deduct stock/ no to allow checkout)
The stock quantities does not reduce for simple products or products with multiple versions...Nor do stock low emails get sent.

Looking at the com > konakart > bl directory, it only contains OrderIntegrationMgr.class and the sub directory for modules:
On the Config/ stock & orders page there are references to:

Stock Reorder Class                     com.konakart.bl.ReorderMgr
Order Integration Class                 com.konakart.bl.OrderIntegrationMgr
Admin Order Integration Class        com.konakartadmin.bl.AdminOrderIntegrationMgr

and the lack of the first and last of these seems suspicious.
That said, they look like unimplemented classes which might not be needed 
Either way, does anyone have any ideas how I could solve or easily debug this problem?
Many thanks in advance!

I utilise https for a clients site and I am having trouble implementing administrator login as a client.
The admin module config page has a field called "Base URL for logging into the App"
and I have that set to https://www.clients domain.co.uk:8443/konakart/AdminLoginSubmit.do
It results in an invalid certificate.
I have tried missing out the port number and even using http without success.
Fingers crossed somebody has come across this? 

Google base is an increasingly useful place to have a presence for eTailers and I have created spreadsheets of data from the KK mySQL tables and (after a lot of concatenating cells  ) and saving it as a tab delimited file, created detailed data feeds acceptable to Google base.

I was on the point of writing a java app to read the tables and create an xml file to do it when...
I now notice they have created a Store Connector which automates (Well we will see!) the process.
It reads from stores set up using Yahoo, eBay and oscommerce so I reckoned it ought to be able to deal with KK. I entered the username, password and URL of the admin page but it says the connection failed. Has anybody else tried Store Connector?
I am guessing the crawling mechanism is not directly accessing the db tables but reading the HTML output of the admin GUI which means the KK admin UI would have to be identical to the oscommerce one. If that is the problem shall I (we) lobby for KK compatability?

Apologies in advance if I have missed this feature but I can't see it in K.K.
The ability to split an order up (Usually due to stock shortages) is something I have offered clients previously using other carts: I realise its not trivial to implement or even for a client to do when the functionality is available but its a fact of life that orders do need editing (Products added to the order as well)
Does anybody else feel its a feature we need - or do without?

I was fiddling with the admin UI (Big mistake!) and noticed an option to use 'security' with the API calls. I thought I would switch it on and see how it worked.
Now I cannot login to the admin UI- I get
User with id = 2 cannot access the API call : getRolesPerSessionId
How do I either revert to unsecure or enhance the users permissions to allow admin useage?
Thanks in advance!

Unless I am wrong (Quite a common event  ) the registration form for new clients is sent using http and the password field is not encrypted. This means anyone listening in when this is posted back to the server has the ability to access konakartadmin later (Hence allowing malicious changes or new delivery addresses to be set up...).
It would seem an obvious and easy mod to use MD5 or SHA-1 to encrypt it? Java can do this easily enough.
I only became aware of this when a client asked me about it- He ideally wanted https to be used but I would not expect many site owners to want to pay for that or the extra work involved.
What does anybody else think?

I am tending to get customer addresses through with a unfortunate inaccuracy...Customers are entering their country and (predictably) not noticing the state/county field above changing to a drop down box with the first opton preselected.
As a result, for a UK customer, I am getting Aberdeen as the county when the person lives in the south: And Alabama for a US citizen.

IMO This is a simple error- The drop down box needs a default option entitled "Pick a county/state here" and this option needs to be validated against. So if a customer fails to notice the box the page will not submit until it IS filled in.

From what I can see its not possible to sort this without the bean source so does anyone know if this issue is known about?

I would like to offer a small discount for a product just to registered users but cannot find any such qualification in the admin UI.
Is it an available feature? I allow non registered clients to buy products on the site I am developing but want to entice as many as possible to register.
If it doesn't exist it sounds like a logical future enhancement- what do others think?

Rather than confront potential clients with the (largely) the same products each time (ie the latest ones on the db) I would much rather put up (say) 9 random products each time. I can see the bean logic that is used in NewProductsBody.jsp to iterate the products provided by the bean in the line <bean:define id="prodArray" name="prodMgr" property="newProducts"/>
But I do not know how I can do the same for all products rather than just new ones.
The documentation mentions things like specials etc but not a global product version.
I am guessing/hoping this functionality is already available by using a wildcard or some such...?

I note the default set up has the English shipping properties set so weights are listed as lb(s) whereas the Spanish and German equivalents are in KG. Obviously these need to be the same for multi-lingual sites as the shipping calcs are the same for all languages...
So I updated konakart_shipping_zones.jar with an updated Zones_en.properties file and uploaded this into the /lib/ directory.
But no change has occurred with my site- (Tried restarting tomcat, flushing users & refreshing via the admin UI)
Is there something else I need to do?
Txs in advance!

I have a weird feature whereby at the Order Confirmation page I get shipping, tax and total fields appearing twice as below...

Sub-Total:   £21.50
Zone Rates (Shipping to GB : 0.25000 lb(s)):   £8.52
Zone Rates (Shipping to GB : 0.25000 lb(s)):   £8.52
VAT:   £3.76
VAT:   £3.76
Total:   £33.78
Total:   £33.78

I am newish to struts and cannot find the offending code. I note there is a db table called orders_total which includes these fields (With duplicates). An email confirmation sent to the test client also included the duplicate fields. Can anyone point me to the offending code- or any other explanation?
I have Product Discount, Order Total Discount, Shipping, Sub-Total, Tax & Total modules installed. (I have tried reinstalling them)
Many thanks!

Most eCommerce sites have lots of products per manufacturer and also per category. To identify each product in the shopping cart & the invoice you generally have to call the product ManufacturersName + ProductName + ProductOptions + Category.
Rather than having to put that into the db for every product it would help a lot of you could opt to include the category/manufacturer in the product.
While it would be an easy hack to alter the code to do this that update would be lost when Konakart gets updated- also some products might not suit this so the ability to select it via a tick box seems appropriate.
As an example if I sell a bicycle tyre its name might be "Axial Pro" but the full name needs to be "Michelin Axial Pro 700c Tyre"
What does anybody else think?

I am hoping I can (easily  ) split the Shipping & Returns page in two. ie a page for each.
I might well want to add other informational pages.
I have found various areas where code handles this- In particular InformationTile.jsp and CatalogShippingAndReturnsBody.jsp but before I start hacking code I thought I would ask.
It seems likely most authors would want to alter the list so it would be a worthwhile document for somebody to write...

I have just upgraded to 2.2.1.0 and was very impressed by the promotions ability. But when I introduce a "Buy 4 and get 7% off" promotion (and a "Buy 10 get 14% off) and set it to work for a specific product nothing happens when I buy that item in bulk.
I even tried restarting the KonaKart & Tomcat server but I can't get any (noticeable) effect by using the promotion.
Its a product discount. Non cumulative.  I have the active tick box set. I set wide valid dates although I actually want unlimited dates really but couldn't be sure leaving the dates empty would do that.
On the rules page I just have the relevant product selected- for all customers/manufacturers/categories.
Any ideas or just confirmations from someone who has got a similar promotion working would be much appreciated

Hi everyone! I sell products that are made in many colours. So I set up each product with a colour option.
As far as I can see the stock level is based on the product so its a useless feature. (If I am out of blue then its no good showing "In stock" for example)
This is the same problem I had with the old shopping cart I have used (Astrosell) and I ended up just ignoring options and having each colour as a seperate product.
If I need to do this so be it - The addition of new products would be much aided by a "copy existing product" button.
Sorry to just ask for new features but I might be prepared to help write/test such developments if others can confirm they are currently not in development.

Hi, I am trying to integrate openCms and KonaKart using the integration module. I have both working independently.
See http://www.quasarsoft.co.uk/KonaKart
&
http://www.quasarsoft.co.uk/opencms/opencms

But having followed the instructions to use the integration module and the localization kit, complete with altering the URL in the wsdl file from localhost:8070 to quasarsoft.co.uk:3306
and then rezipping the module and installing it, then building it using ant:
I get Internal Server Error 500 and an exception report of

javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Invalid element in com.konakart.wsapp.DataDescriptor - custom1

when I click on
http://www.quasarsoft.co.uk/opencms/opencms/konakart-integration/index.jsp

Any ideas anyone? I have tried a lot of things and restarted Tomcat but to no avail. I have only added one product ("gold plan") and one category ("firmware") to the default products in the KonaKart product list and it has no custom fields.

Hi John, I am a neebie to OpenCms and KonaKart but am keen to implement both on a test site with the intention of selling such developments to local clients once I have the knack.
Can I check the presumption of the module that the OpenCms site will be developed first and KonKart linked afterwards is the best way of doing it from scratch.
I cannot see any need to connect a given OpenCms site to more than one KonaKart database. If there is a way of referencing the set of (KonaKart) products in a OpenCms template it would be a lot less processing than using SOAP. Or am I missing something? (I usually do!)
