I deleted some retired products from my products.txt. On the start page, these deleted products show up as "Purchase Missing SKUID XXXXX for 0."


What am I doing wrong? Do I need to edit another file?

Thanks,
Kathryn

Kathryn,
Micah outlined this in his email reply, but I'll summarize the gist here for the community:

The SKUIDs are hardcoded and when that is the case you have to track down and manually remove those hardcoded entries from the pages. Then the Missing SKUID error should go away.

Thanks--yes I found the hard code in the start.html. Micah told me there is another (later?) version of the code that automatically picks up only what is in the products.txt file, but I'm OK with staying with the current code that I have.

Thanks for your prompt response.
Kathryn

Kathryn -- I'd really, really, strongly advise avoiding hard-coding product SKUIDs -- or any information that can be stored in products.txt. You're losing about half the power of Hazel by doing it that way. The whole idea is to leave the code alone and just worry about updating the products file. If, as you go along, you have two or three or ten or twenty pages to show your products, and you hard-coded those pages -- you'd have to update ALL of them every time a new product came in, or an old product went out.

See http://hazel.netsville.com/docs/loops.html for information on using loops to scoop up this information.
