HELP!

I think I just screwed this up royally!  Downloaded the zip for this so we could use it for our scent list of over 200 items and read through the read me that is included.  

Following these instructions due to us not changing anything with the source  "f you have not changed any of the original source code for your site, then you can just replace the dlls you have now with these" and now when going to our site we get a "Request Timed Out"!  

Thought screw it Illl deal with this later and replaced all the .dll files (we backed up of course) and still getting the same thing.....did this need recompiled?  If so honestly I have no clue on how to do this so please help us soon our site is down and UGH!  

Running nop 1.9 and site is http://www.eccolights.com  

You can email us EccoLightsSales@gmail.com or reply here.

Thanks for any support you can give and thank you for your contribution to nop as well!  I hope to get this running soon.

Just an update, looks like the site is back up but still would like to figure this out how to implement.  Any help would be wonderful!  BTW, sorry for the frantic prior post but you know how it is when your site goes down...LOL

I'm sorry I didn't get to see what was going on... can you tell me what happened? What error was it showing?

Hey and thanks for your prompt reply.

As stated we uploaded the .dll files to our ftp in replacement of the ones already there.  Once that was done we went to our site and got a "timed out" error (taking to long to load?)  So assuming that the change didn't take place and not wanting to have much downtime during the transition we just replaced the original .dll files back and at first got the same error.  After our frantic post we tried the site again and it was back.

So for right now its up but would love to implement this addition to our site.  With our large drop down for our scents it would be awesome to not have to change each product every time and do it all in one shot.

Per the read me file, is it really just a simple replace the .dll files and things should work or would we need to recompile the site first to make this work?  

No changes to the source have been made just a few minor tweaks to the three column layout and such.  

Thanks for any input you can give here and we will await your reply =)

When you recompile and/or replace your dlls the website will take longer to load... something about having new dlls makes the web app take a long time to load the fist time. I don't know why it would time out and I also don't know why it would do the same thing once you replaced the original dlls back. You may want to try again (during a time when you think your customers aren't using your site - late at night or something) and see if the site will come up. Give it a few tries and if it times out every time then put the old files back. I can see why you would really want the control as you have a TON of options on your drop down! Let me know if you try this...

All that I can tell you is that I tried the dll replacement thing with a new installation of nopcommerce (local installation) and it worked fine.

Ok I will give it a go a little later on tonight =)

Just to clarify things, since no changes have been made the the source all I should have to do is:

1.  Changed .dlls:

Nop.BusinessLogic.dll
Nop.Controls.dll
NopCommerceStore.dll
NopCommon.dll (not sure about this one, might want to replace this just to be sure)

Also should I add the NopPrefilledDropdown.cs to Controls?  

That should be it right?

Thanks again for your promptness and keep up the great work!  Looking at the NopEasy very soon as well =)
