Might be a dumb question, but I'm curious

I just began to use the Portal today (for the first official time) :) I was submitting my shop front and then I went to "manage stock." Let's say I clicked on "Fire Fondue" (just an item in my db). Of course, the bottom changes to the whole "Buy at: _____ Sell at: _____ x1.5 ++ In stock: ____" etc. In the "Buy at," it says I should enter the price I bought it at since my profits would be based on this value. If I enter 2000 as the price I bought it at, and I sell it at 2850, the profit is 850. But what if the next time I go to restock Fire Fondue, I buy it at 2200 or 1900, not at 2000? I almost never end up restocking my items at the same price so do I have to keep on going back & changing the "Buy at" price so my profits can be accurate? I can imagine this process of going back to change the price becoming very hectic as I add more items to my shop stock. Do all the portal-users go through this or am I missing something?

[quote=irisheyez]When I had an insanely huge category (all furniture and garden) I didn't bother to enter the buy at price, it would've taken me forever to stock my shop. I would never be done. With just V2 it's a piece of cake :P[/quote] yup, same for the books category. It's just too much work to keep that one up to date ;) I also use the seanaf's way to keep track of my profits. I'm just also too lazy to write things down. I just put my np in my bank, get my money out of my till, buy the items from ssw, see how much I have left and that's my profit ;)

[quote=Dmitri][quote=xhelenmelon]I have a problem! I didn't want to spam by creating another topic so here goes: why is this popping up? (image attached) I installed the latest version so it's not making sense to me. help?[/quote] It's better to "spam" and create a new topic since that's a completely different issue and I would have missed it completely forever unless I was nosing around randomly like now. Anyways,, reinstall neomallers portal with a fresh directory. You're using a DB from like 3 years ago and those are no longer supported... which is why it's very important to stay in tune with the upgrades to the application --------------------------------------------- Decorate your V2 Tent and supersize with Irisheyez Direct http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=irisheyez[/quote] Sorry /: Won't happen again. What do you mean by a fresh directory?

Delete the entire c:\neomallers folder and reinstall Since i reckon you have that outdated DB as default (if you dont want to lose data, just backup the /users folder ) --------------------------------------------- Decorate your V2 Tent and supersize with Irisheyez Direct http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=irisheyez

Same thing keeps popping up.

Redownload the portal core using internet explorer or any other browser that you havent used. I would think your firefox would have "forgotten" the old version but i guess not --------------------------------------------- Decorate your V2 Tent and supersize with Irisheyez Direct http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=irisheyez

Tried with IE & Opera - doesn't work. Tried to install it to a new directory but it still says my DB is outdated.

Run it with admin privledges. Since it's not supposed to say that, especially if you dont have any database. Or download teamviewer and send me the 9 digit code so i can take a look at it myself
