nopCommerce has a variety of great features that makes a store admin's job much easier. Did you know nopCommerce offers some procedures/tasks that runs on your online store's database (when executed) and takes care of maintenance work i.e. cleaning the database?

There are times when some nopCommerce store admins finds themselves in a situation when the default registration form fields are not enough for their needs (if they would like to manage more information of the customers). In reality, it can be a very difficult task for a non-technical store admin to dive into the code and make the required modifications (in code and the database) for adding custom fields. A lot of users were facing this issue in the previous/old versions of nopCommerce as there was no way to accomplish  this unless the user makes the modifications in the code / database.

In order to overcome this issue, a feature (option) was added to the nopCommerce project in the administration section that allows store admins to add custom fields in a user-friendly way.

Today we will go over this long awaited feature that was added to nopCommerce !

There are many users who are experiencing an issue with tinymce HTML Editor in nopCommerce 3.40 version (specifically in topic pages). This issue causes 2 major problems:

1) No matter how many <link> references you add in the html source code of your topic page,  the editor refuses to save it and disregard all the references.

2) If you have upgraded your nopCommerce based website from previous version and you already have <link> references in the topic pages. After upgrading your site to 3.40, if you open the topic page in administration section and make any kind of changes. You will lose all the references as tinymce editor will ignore it while saving.

Here is a quick fix to this problem.

Many times, I have seen nopCommerce users struggling while changing the number of features products that are being displayed on the homepage. In many situations, users might want to display a specific number of featured products depending on the design of the homepage (like 4 products per row or 5 and so on).  Well, the number of featured products is NOT hardcoded anymore in nopCommerce 3.4 like some of the previous versions. 

Today, I am going to explain how the nopCommerce layout manages the number of products on the homepage (by design).
