Tomato Cart has a second problem in the Variant area. (See the first problem here<\/a>.) It is possible to accidentally delete your variant content for a product with variants. There is a fix<\/b>. I will first describe the problem, then the fix.<\/p>\n

Normal\/expected scenario<\/b>: In the administration area … <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You create a variant (ex. states: Denver, California)<\/li>\n
  2. You create a product with the variant states.<\/li>\n
  3. You create variations for Denver and California, filling in the values for image, cost, SKU, etc.<\/li>\n
  4. You go in to change a value for either variant of the product (perhaps the Denver variant).<\/li>\n
  5. You press save and continue, and the following happens:\n
      \n
    1. Waiting message comes up on screen<\/li>\n
    2. Waiting message goes away indicating the save is complete, your information is displaying<\/li>\n
    3. Moments later your variant information clears and<\/li>\n
    4. The system reprints your updated data from the database, it looks as before the clearing of the variant data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

      That is the normal scenario. Now imagine, you do step 5, pressing step and continue. Your administration area reaches step 5b<\/b>, the waiting message vanishes and you think everything is done. You accidentally or intentionally hit save and continue again about 2 seconds after the waiting message vanished … before the variant information vanishes. 80-90% of the time, your variant data will be deleted. (Note, the 2 second number can change as a result of your computer or internet activity. Sometimes this can be 10 or more seconds.) You may have hit the save and continue for a number of reasons (1) You are not sure there was a save, (2) You think things are done saving, you change something and hit save, or (3) other reasons. You may loose your data.<\/p>\n

      If this problem happens to you, you can fix this problem. Go to file \/admin\/includes\/extmodules\/products\/products_dialog.php … line 198. Comment out the line as follows …<\/p>\n

      \/\/ this.pnlImages.grdImages.getStore().on(‘load’, onDsImagesLoad, this);<\/div>\n

      This should solve your problem in version 1.1.8.5 Tomato Cart. Hopefully, this problem will be corrected in the next revision of Tomato Cart.<\/p>\n
