Price Promotion Edit Feature Broken

ID: Q193012

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Site Server version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

Users are unable to successfully edit existing price promotions in wizard- generated stores.

CAUSE

The ASP code "<%" was removed during localization from the Promo- price_edit.ast file. This not only causes the REM statement to display on a manager page, but also prevents "$ off" promotions from being edited. Users can still edit the other two promotion types, but changes made to "$ Off" promos are not saved.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, perform one of the following:

• To allow the code to function properly, fix the Wizard or wizard- generated Promo-price_edit.asp file as follows:

        \COMwizard\PromoBuilderBlueprints\promo-price_edit.ast:
  

           REM - Kaufen von x
  
        revert to:
  
        <% REM - Kaufen von x
  
   -OR-
  
  

• To work around this problem quickly, create a new promotion and delete the old one.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the German version of Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition.
