Advanced Searching in Admin 
Bet you didn't know you can do advanced searching in the admin AND select what fields you want to have displayed on the results page. Just by clicking on the Switch to Advanced tab in say the View/Edit Products section you will see a new group of search boxes appear that allows you to filter your results. In the 4 boxes along the top you can enter your search criteria and select from the drop down which field is to be searched in for each of your search terms. By default VPASP returns only the first 6 fields of a table which generally is not what you are looking for. To make this more useful you can select what fields you want by left clicking with mouse in the Display box and holding the CTRL key down at the same time so you can multi select from the database fields. This month we are giving you 2 tips for the price of one - scroll down to the bottom for the second tip! |

Setting up your own currency in VP-ASP
There are several things you need to do to setup default currency. If you want to setup your default currency to UK you need to setup these fields to xcurrencybase - GBP You will also need to update your currency table. You can edit and add currency values to this table by entering your shop administration and going to : The currency that has "1"in the conversionvalue field is the default currency and controls the master rate. So if your site is to display in British Pound then you would set British pound conversionvalue field to 1. For detailed information please see http://www.vpasp.com/helpnotes/shopexd.asp?id=759 If you have a tip you think would be helpful to everyone let us know and we will include it in our upcoming newsletters. |
