All About Pocket Knives

Hi Bryan,
Here are a few 'bugs" I found with my new store (bdev - Hudson Valley Knives)

You can sort the product list alphabetically but it will not sort correctly by price, low to high; high to low.

When in edit mode, if you click on the red prompt on the top of the page that says "Turn Edit Mode Off", once your out of edit mode, there's no prompt on the re-freshed page to return to edit mode.

Store categories "sort order" is not working. When I sorted the categories, they still appear in alphabetical order.

That's it for now. If I find others, I'll post them here.

Bryan,

One other thing I found on the main store page. When you click on a specific knife brand, the list is not populated in order of listing, newest to oldest, as was on the old store site.

Also, when you hover over the "Buy" drop down (top left of main page) and move your mouse pointer to the "browse by store name" choice, the page vanishes. The "browse by category" works fine.

I can't find the store "search" capability. The search that is available seems to search the forums rather than the store.

As an example, I would like to search for "cattle" to find all of the cattle knives in the store regardless of brand. Apologies if it is there and I was not able to locate the capability.

Thank you for making this great knife resource available to us!

Someone emailed me to say that my sold items are appearing (as out of stock) rather than being hidden like on the old system. In edit mode, I can see all the items, of course. But in the old system, the out of stock items were not public. I don't know if this is intentional or accidental. If I navigate from the main AAPK website using the menus to my store, Jake's knives, I can see the out of stock items. If I click on my name and then go to my store, I don't see the out of stock items.

Just added a search bar for stores that will display on every page...

Thank you Bryan. It works great! I like how it also shows the "sold" knives. I hope that's a feature and not a defect .

Hi Bryan,
How do we offer a lower combined shipping rate if a customer makes multiple purchases of different items?
The system is now adding the shipping cost for each item. Example... In each of my knife listings, my shipping cost is $4.50. My customer chooses 3 different knife listings and adds them to his/her cart. The total shipping cost is calculated as 13.50 which is higher than I want to charge. How do we combine shipping costs?

Thanks......Bruno

when I go in to delete items no longer available they are not showing yet to browse my site via AAPK the items show FOR SALE?

Hi Wayne,

Are you using the old administration dashboard or new?

Go to the link below to make changes & everything should be available to edit / delete...

Please let me know if that doesn't work.

Best,
Bryan

Hi Perry,

Do you know what browser you are using?

I just changed some stuff around on your account that changes the method used to add images. It works by inputting them one at a time. Can you give that a try when you get a chance & report back with the results?

Many Thanks,
Bryan

Hi Brian; Works perfectly now...I can actually upload 2 images at a time. Many thanks for all you do!
Kind regards,
Perry

Store link has changed:

Links for stores were originally set up as follows:

www.allaboutpocketknives.com/knifeaholic

At some point they changed to this format:

www.allaboutpocketknives.com/catalog/knifeaholic

I just wanted to alert people to this in case you are providing the link to you store to drive traffic to your items for sale.

Unfortunately, I only discovered this recently after printing and sending (snail mail) about 100 flyers with the old (now non functional) link format.

Hi Steve,

Both links are supposed to work. I think some recent changes have caused browser cache issues.

I thought this was isolated to a couple accounts, but it appears to be a bit more wide spread than I thought

If you clear your browser's cache, both should work. ...in theory
http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/knifeaholic
should redirect to
https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/ca ... nifeaholic

For any of your customers that have old data cached on their browsers, it should resolve / correct itself in time so that both links will direct to your store.

Thanks Bryan; glad to hear that both are supposed to work.

The flyers that I sent out were also designed to try to get people to come to AAPK in general, in addition to my store.
