And what's the Resource Name for the text in the button?

Hi cHiEsA,

It should be Search

value="@T("Search")"

But we just noticed we don't use it via the resource name but directly.
We will use it now and thank you for pointing this out.

Many thanks!

I've translated resource with value "search" and it didn't work.
That's why i've questioned.

Do i need download a new version of Electronics Theme?

Hi cHiEsA,

Yes, you can download the version 2.6 of the Electronics theme but you can simply edit the SearchBox.cshtml file:
Themes\Electronics\Views\Catalog\SearchBox.cshtml
and change the value of the search button with @T"Search":
value="Search" should be value="@T("Search")"

Thanks!

Thanks.
It work ;)

I am having some issues with the electronics theme after moving it to my dedicated server.


From the main page, most of the category links in the header menu do not work, and also if you click on  the image links on the main page to the Shirts, Jeans, Shoes categories, you get an error that seems to be related to SevenSpikes SmartSEO plugin..so I disabled it in admin area...
Now, same links produce other SevenSpikes plugin error related to Ajax filters...
See it here

examples of links in top menu header:

http://64.239.149.249/c/2/computers   ....error....

http://64.239.149.249/c/3/desktops     ...works fine... ?why?


Also, the product detail pages have same or similar errors..
except for a few products, like:

http://64.239.149.249/p/16/build-your-own-computer
..and...
http://64.239.149.249/p/31/hp-pavilion-g60-230us-160-inch-laptop

  ?why?
another issue on the product detail page, as you can see in the link above, is that the product photo zoom doesn't really zoom...this works on my localhost installation fine, but not on the new server.


Also, also, while attempting to edit any of the top level categories in the admin area (http://64.239.149.249/Admin/Category/Edit/11), I get this error:

--------------------------------------------------------------
A generic error occurred in GDI+.

UPDATE:
The other day I did check the boxes on some of the apparel products to appear on home page so that they'd be in my Nop Category Header plugin...perhaps it's related to that??


Any ideas?

Hi embryo,

Please check all of the followings:

1. Make sure your Settings.txt file has this line:
MultipleActiveResultSets=True
It is very important that to be set to True

2. Please check that your application has access rights to the Content\Images folder.
As you have moved to a dedicated sever the access right needs to be set.

3. The zoom seems to be working fine on the link you have provided. It is not Zooming as your images has a very low resolution. Please note that in order for the Zoom to work correctly and not stretch or blur the images you have to use images with higher quality in terms of size. Please try with an image that is 500x500 px for example and you will see.

Please let us know how it goes!

I have confirmed that my content/images folder has the necessary permissions, and have added that name value pair to my connection string as you said, but still having same errors. Below are the contents of my settings.txt file:

DataProvider: sqlserver
DataConnectionString: Server=xxxxxxxx.database.windows.net,1433;Database=xxxxxxx;User ID=xxxxxxxx@xxxxxx;Password=xxxxxxxx;Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;Connection Timeout=30;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;

The pages all worked fine prior to moving to Windows Server 2003/IIS6. It was running on Windows 7 business edition with IIS7.

Oh, OK...I guess I thought that the nopcommerce installation included higher resolution "zoomable" photos by default.

Hi embryo,

It seems like that Windows Server 2003/IIS6 are supported by nopCommerce.
http://www.nopcommerce.com/technologysystemrequirements.aspx

What database do you use as your connection string is quite different?
This is how our looks like:

DataProvider: sqlserver
DataConnectionString: Data Source=MY-PC\SQL2008R2;Initial Catalog=nop265;Integrated Security=False;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=sa;Password=xxxx;MultipleActiveResultSets=True

I'm connecting to a Windows/SQL Azure database, but put "xxxxxx" in place of my actual values.

I created a new application pool to use last night, and now, almost everything works as it should!

I had read that nopcommerce sites are often slow to respond when run from VS or localhost, so I was hoping for a performance increase when I moved the site to our server (a quad core Xeon processor)...but it's still moving along at a snail's pace...
http://64.239.149.249

I reallize that this isn't the actual nopcommerce forum, but help has been more forthcoming here than there and I'm hoping somebody knows a trick to speed things up a little.

I have already created a web garden for my application pool and set it to use up to four worker processes in an effort to speed it up, but I see no difference in performance.

Perhaps the problem isn't with the application itself, but DNS routing..I'll keep digging, but if you guys know of anything that might affect speed on an "almost factory stock" nopcommerce installation, I'm all ears...

Thanks,
Steve
