Is it possible to show specific categories in BigCommerce instead of all categories?
We have used the code %%Panel.SideCategoryList%% but it shows all the categories.
Thanks in advance
At this time there is not a way to uniquely control the output of categories using that panel. Depending on your context, you can either
1. Allow all categories to be output and use javascript to selectively hide a few (this is far from ideal, I know).
2. Manually add the categories into that panel and skip the dynamic category insertion.
In the admin, click on Products, then click Product Categories. That page displays all of the categories for your site. On the right of the page you'll see green checkmarks. If you don't want a category to be visible on your site, simply click the green checkmark and it will turn into a red X

I need to track clicks on a button at the end of a sequence of selections. As shown in the image, there are five different business plans (circled in red), and each plan can be for three different years (highlighted in blue). The user will checkbox a business plan type (e.g., market trend) and click a year (e.g., 2017), then click the PDF button (highlighted in black) to download that particular plan (market trend for 2017 in this case).
So instead of counting the total clicks of PDF downloads, the task is to count how many times a particular plan is downloaded based on the plan type and year.
The PDF button, the checkbox for each plan type, and the click button for each year all can be tracked individually. They are also all on the same URL.
GTM and GA are used for tracking. Can anyone share some thoughts of how to achieve this type of tracking?
Thanks!

If you are using google tag manager you can use dataLayer.push() to push to an array which can be used to differentiate the clicks based on the interaction.
Approach is described here
Google Analytics custom dimensions
In your particular case you could have the dataLayer configured to add the different key / values for the different report components and then the trigger will be configured to fire when the download button is clicked.
For example on each of the check boxes you could have:
<input type="checkbox" onclick="dataLayer.push({'plan_component': 'Market Trends'});">
You'd probably better having an array to store this info.
The resultant data can be viewed or aggregated via a custom report download. Described here.
Custom Dimensions and Metrics
It can be a bit tricky to understand and you'll need to change the site so that the dataLayer gets populated with the requisite data but this is the way to go. Best of luck.
I would like to modify Product price dynamically when a button is clicked, using jquery.
For example, if there is a button with value "22" , if i click that button, the price should change to "22". For now, i can change the front end text of price label, but i couldn't pass it when adding to cart. Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks
The price is pulled from the backend and displayed.
It is possible to read the price. It is also possible to have options.
I can see a fairly easy way to do this by setting up options for a product:
Put the options ( %%Product_AddToCartRight%% is the most commonly used options listing) in a div with the style set to "display:none".
Then have your button "click" the options via javascript or jquery.
Since the options are hidden by the display:none, the button "automagically" changes the price...and could do other things, like make a "Congrats" div appear, or make the price text/box change color.
This is good, since it not only draws the users eyes to the price change, but triply rewards the user: Better price, price changes (reacts to users click), and the color changes (another reaction to the users click).
Clicking an option does autoupdate the price, including what gets passed to the shopping cart.
One thing to be aware of is that Google may or may not run any given piece of javascript on your page.
More importantly, googles crawler does NOT click buttons or select options, so any price changes driven by a click or selection will not be indexed by google. Your product will still show, but only at the "base" price.
I have a single webpage with multiple items.
And I want to be able to share them separately with a google+1 containing a # to automatically scroll to the correct one.
For each of the items I defined the schema and verified with the testing tool: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool
This sees all the different items, I used the product schema.
But when I click the G+1 button it generates the same preview for each G+1 button.
Is it possible to have multiple G+1 buttons on a single page with different content?
No. The share content is based on the URL and ignores the #fragment. If you want multiple share summaries you will have to have multiple URLs.
For example I need to add bom lines inside sale order lines. I have created an on_change function to load the bom lines if the product have bom. It is working fine in GTK, but when I try to add in web client, its not working..
Look at the product screen's Suppliers tab. One product can have many suppliers and each supplier can have many prices. To see the price list, you must enable the extended view for your user account.
Here's a screen shot of the GTK client with the suppliers switched from tree view to form view so you can see both levels.
The web client can't display both levels at the same time. You have to open the supplier in a dialog box, and it shows you the list of prices there.
is it possible to trigger control to another form based on th onchange of a selection field? the new form is to be linked to the new button of the existing form.
I'm using VB Net, but this is entirely a question about user interface, not coding.
I want to "manage" a table of "orders." Orders is a typical table with a foreign key pointing to a customer, and a one-to-many relationship with a "details" table. To manage orders means to enter new orders, add details to orders, record payments, print a list of orders, cancel orders, mark orders shipped, print one order, etc., etc. These tasks can be divided into tasks that affect single orders (cancel an order) and tasks that affect multiple orders (print a list of orders).
That task division led me to this user interface: present a form/window that displays by default a list of orders, and provide a button that switches the view from list mode to single-order mode. Each mode then provides the buttons for its tasks.
I first implemented this with panels, putting the controls for each view into its own panel, and then superimposing the panels. I then use hide and show methods to switch between panels, effectively switching between views. It works, but meh...
Would it be better to use a tabbed control, and put each view on its own tab? I'm not trying to re-invent any wheels. I know nobody gets fired for making it look like a Microsoft app. LOL :) But I haven't seen any retail applications to copy from.
I'd argue that your "multiple panels" approach IS tabs, just without the tab part. In reality, tab controls do basically what you've already done with code, they just hide that behind a convenient design time facade.
Still, it's the same thing.
E James answer is pretty good. Would it make sense to put both on screen at a time? is this a touch screen app or a traditional windows app? How sophisticated is the target user?
Those are a few questions that should drive how complex you let the screen get.
Do you have room to show the list and all of the possible controls? If so, I would start with all controls disabled. When you select a single order, only the single order controls would be enabled, and when you select multiple orders, only the multiple orders controls would be enabled.
I would also put the most common tasks right into the list, if possible, so that only one click is required for frequent tasks.
