Episerver Commerce: Creating a new block

Image
Refer to this blog post:  https://world.optimizely.com/blogs/david-harlow/dates/2018/3/extending-commerce---content-area-functionality/ By default, content areas in Episerver commerce items such as products and variants don't display the option for creating a new block, and only allows for blocks to be dragged in, as seen below. However, an extremely simple solution to change this default behavior is to inherit from IResourceable on your product/variant which will require the interface member ContentAssetsID to be declared which can simply be scaffolded to false, and this will be all the code required to display the content area as expected! public class FashionProduct : ProductContent, IResourceable {      [Editable(false)]      [ScaffoldColumn(false)]      public virtual string ProductContentAssetId { get; set; }      [Ignore]      public Guid ContentAssetsID ...

Episerver Commerce Report: Sales by day

Image
  We have an option TimeRangesInDays that generate reports, for example 30, 90, or 180 days. https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/customized-commerce/docs/option-configuration-classes   So when you run the job "Collect Order Data for Reports" it will update order data based on TimeRangesInDays to the table OrderReportData, then that data will be used in procedure [ecf_OrderReportData_AggregateByDay] when you generate the report     In case you want to change the sort order, you can modify the procedure with  OrderCreated DESC ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[ecf_OrderReportData_AggregateByDay]  @TimeZoneOffset DECIMAL(38, 9) = 0  AS  BEGIN  SELECT  CONVERT(DATE, DATEADD(minute, @TimeZoneOffset, OrderCreated)) AS OrderCreated,  MarketId,  Currency,  Site,  COUNT(OrderGroupId) AS NumOfOrders,  SUM(TotalQuantity) AS NumOfItems,  SUM(TaxTotal) AS TaxTotal,  SUM(ShippingTotal) as ShippingTotal,  SUM(Han...

Episerver: Date format

The UI language is controlled by the user settings and will default to use whatever is configured in the web.config in the uiCulture attribute on the globalization element: https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/content-management-system/docs/globalization   So you may change the globalization config using the solution below: If that is CMS 11, add this code part to the web.config: <globalization culture="en-AU" uiCulture="en-AU" requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" resourceProviderFactoryType="EPiServer.Framework.Localization.LocalizationServiceResourceProviderFactory, EPiServer.Framework.AspNet" /> If that is CMS 12, configure it in code at Startup.ConfigureServices method: //change the date format globally services.Configure<GlobalizationSettingsOptions>(o => { o.CultureLanguageCode = "en-AU"; o.UICultureLanguageCode = "en-AU"; }); or in appsettings.json: { "EPiServer...
