I have just discovered a peculiar bug that appears when user mishandles working in several language version of the same e-shop. It can result in overwriting a page in one language with the same page in another language. That could get on nerves, especially if someone doesn't keep backups and there were a lot of text to translate:
1. Open administration of QC 3.x, the webshop should have several languages created (i.e. there should be at least webshop_en and webshop_pl). 2. in webshop_en edit a page. Any page. 3. open an administration link "main page" in another browser window (right click the link, choose "open in another browser window") 4. in the new browser window change the administration webshop to webshop_pl (via the language dropdown). 5. in the previous window save the english page.
The result? The english page was saved into the webshop_pl, essentially overwriting whatever was there before. This is a major mess-up, the user is of course partly responsible for it. This very same thing concerns the products, other save-able options too, probably.
Perhaps it could be fixed by setting a language into the save form when that form is being created. Not that difficult to fix, IMO.
and yes, Treewood, I know you're happy, I have discovered this bug just 2 days after 3.1 final came out. It was an unrelated find, though, I didn't even touch 3.1 final yet. Who knows what's gonna come up then ;-)
In my opinion there isn't need to open second window with administration page at all. I was never using this way to edit page. But of course thank you for discover this but. treewood should knows what to do with it ;)
HaHa Makaron must have a low threshold for humor just because he doesn't think there is a need to open a second admin window - doesn't make the problem go away! --- it's still there...
Holy Cow... I was once working for a company that hired people to build logic boards for a computer clone company - these people (from Korea) figured that wearing Jade bracelets (yes.. Jade) would be better than wearing anti-static negative (attached to ground - so the static wouldn't fry the chips, bracelets - grounding strips for some of you) and why??? Because wearing Jade is considered to be good luck!
What sound reasoning... needless to say the failure rate of the boards was at about 35% - wow! and better yet! the same company bright sparks Fired! yes fired the people that were raising red flags about it - and why?? well... because they didn't want to have to do the extra paperwork and.... tell the employees not to wear their (good luck) which by the way - they also wore.
Sound reasonable - hell no! just because someone figures that a certain thing will not happen - can be ABSOLUTELY SURE it will!! If there is a problem that can be replicated - believe it - it will be, and guess what... lotsa forum notes - especially if its one that occurs easily.
Better to fix it than ignore - or worse - pretend it isn't there
I usually open several admin windows, sometimes even working on different webshops/versions of QC, then it becomes REALLY interesting (and confusing). I consider multiple windows functionality normal and desirable -- if you guys (opensolution) don't want people using multiple windows, it's fairly easy to disable such thing - my bank does that when I am e-banking.
It's only my opinion.. I didn't say that this bug won't be fixed (I'm even not here to fixing bugs or making changes in code). So please don't extract precipitous conclusions..
If you are not here to (fixing bugs and making changes in code) - then why say what you say - as if you are? I've read other comments from you and you sound like you are one of the "support" guys. If you are not then you should no write your note as if you are - understand!
I think Treewood is quite capable of speaking for himself - so (IMHO) I don't think you should answer for him....
Making "precipitous conclusions" whaaaa? - the dictionary has precipitous as: 1. of the nature of or characterized by precipices: a precipitous wall of rock. 2. extremely or impassably steep: precipitous mountain trails.
So I'm making a tall conclusion from what you are saying - of course I am! you put it out there! If you don't want comments on what you are saying, made.... the obviously don't say them, especially couched in a manner as if you are speaking from a support style.....
hey, come on, Idaryl, cool down, dude. He didn't mean anything wrong by his comments. The point is: I made a bugreport, he commented, no big deal. And not everyone can speak fluent English on this forum, neither can I, so there can be even more misunderstandings and precipitations (whatever the f* that word means) in the future.
