From the News on the Webshop

Feeling lazy, but still maybe it's time to write something.
So, here goes. Copy/Pasted from http://mohsart.se/

There seems to have been problems ordering on the site from Nov 9, but it should be fixed now.
It seems like the problem occured when ordering the last item of something. When that happens, the webshop is configured to notify me to order more, but the folder with email templates for that functionality was empty for Swedish language. Surely a Prestashop bug, but should be ok now.

I have added a couple of links to the info block, I had that information in the links block before (actually, it's still there) but this way looks a little bit better imo.
As you can see, I have links to other webshops selling the same stuff that I sell.
This is because I care more about that You can order what You are looking for than to maximize my selling. Also, I am quite confident that I can stand the competition.
I would add Swedish sites as well, but I'm afraid that there are no sites that are good enough. SunAi in Stockholm may qualify, but just barely.

Oh, almost forgot: I added a new carrier for those ordering only books, by choosing that one, shipping costs will be much more accurate. Shipping really is a pain in the xxx, because I can only try to estimate it from either weight or price. I will try to hack the module to at least only show the carriers that are applicable, ie no Schenker for packages > 40 cm and not this last addition if the order doesn't contain only books.

Stockholms Spelkonvent

I helgen har jag försökt frälsa deltagare på Stockholms Spelkonvent, vilket visade sig lite svårare än väntat.
De hade placerat mig tillsammans med Mahjongspelare från Uppsala, vilket var bra - viss synergieffekt där.
MEN vi hade tilldelats ett rum längst upp och i ena änden av korridoren (iofs nära trappan) så jag misstänker att färre än önskat hittade dit.

Staffars Serier som satt på våningen under klagade också på oväntat lågt intresse och var missnöjda med att inte sitta i anslutning till kafeterian.

Jag sålde två böcker, och ett 9x9-bräde och ett budget-set (som redan var beställt av kunden i fråga och därmed knappast räknas) så det var väl tur att jag inte var där i egenskap av butik utan som demare av Go (som butik hade jag fått betala en avgift som gjort att jag gått back på kalaset).

Visst intresse visades för Xiangqi och Shogi (och även Go) och jag fick ge bort en handfull visitkort, så helt bortkastat var det nog inte.
