fixed some typo

Hi There.. The problem is indeed related to PS 1.7.x.
It has been there the whole 1.7.x cycle, and still is in current 1.7.4.2 stable version.
I can easily duplicate this issue in a blank PS installation, with the default "classic" theme.

 

For others with same issue, this is the cause:

  1. Start adding new product in catalogue.
  2. Don't save the product. Leave the product configuration window by clicking previous button in browser. Or click any menu item, just don't save the procuct!
  3. Now there is a new product inside the database. There is a new product id (assigned to category id 2 (home)), but the product remains empty.
    Note: You will not see this product in BO product listing. You can only see it inside database. But if you would create another product and save it as should, you would see that the product ID has skipped a number (because PS created an empty product before).

 

Possible solution:

When you have this issue. You would have to login to your database to manually remove the product from the products table..
You may want to compare product ID's with your backoffice to identify the empty products. The product ID's that are not visible in BO are the empty products.


 

I've been doing this manually in several webshop for a few months now. :(
Hopefully this issue will be fixed soon in future PS releases.
 

Cheers!
