Adding digital product in ACEShop Joomla Component - joomla2.5

I was trying to use Joomla 2.5 ACEShop component to sell my digital goods. But unfortunately i could not able to find the right option to add my digital products. I was using free version of it and not sure if i can use it to get my task done. Can anyone reply is that was a possible on with ACEShop free component ?
I could see some options under "Option" tab but unfortunately it was not working as expected. Am not sure it is because i use free version or it does the same on paid version too.

you may find this helpful. It refers to Opencart, but since AceShop is still based on the Opencart software as its core, the same directions should apply.

How to make the component affiliate tracker responsive?

I have a Joomla 3.8 website. I have installed Joomla Affiliate Tracker
and the template is PURITY III 1.2.3.
All my pages of all my components are responsive and fine.
I have an issue with a Joomla component (or the template); pages of this component are not responsive.
In this screenshot you can see that is not responsive, and you can see the code creating this issue.
So I read the doc http://www.t3-framework.org/documentation/bs3-layout-system
http://www.t3-framework.org/documentation/customization
I searched for similar issues on the web, but I couldn’t find where to change these t3-content col-xs-12.
So I download all website pages by ftp and made a search for this specific string “t3-content col-xs-12”
I couldn’t find it. I found where you define the width of col-s, col-xs, col-m, etc… but I am afraid to destroy all the template because of this unique component. I suspect more an issue with the component.
I made some tests:
I assigned an article to this same menu and the page was responsive.
I tested component on default template protostar and the component was responsive.
My conclusion is there is an incompatibility with PURITY III T3 System. But I maybe wrong. I am not programmer and it is very hard for me to fix that.
I contacted of Joomla Affiliate Tracker support and waiting for answer. As it is not mainly the fault of component, I am not sure to get help.

Django A/B Split Testing Packages (None I've found are well-documented and up-to-date.)

There are two main schools of thought for doing A/B (Split) Testing:
Javascript-based solutions such as Optimizely, Google Analytics Content Experiments.
Server-side solutions such as Django-AB, Splango, and django-lean. (Also, writing your own.)
My understanding is that Javascript-based solutions are spectacular for "which color button converts better," but not so great for switching out entire page layouts, and completely unworkable for trying out large functional changes such as the sequence of pages in a funnel.
That leads me towards a server-side solution. I'm not crazy about coding my own, and will do so only if there is no other option. I'm trying to add value by improving the core functionality of my site, not by creating a better split-testing framework.
The Django apps I've found for split testing are various mixtures of unmaintained, undocumented, documented incorrectly, and incompatible with Django 1.5. This surprises me, because the Django and Python communities seem to have a strong focus on good documentation. I'm also very surprised that none of the testing frameworks I've tried has been compatible with Django 1.5 -- is testing not as core a part of the philosophy in the Django/Python world as it is in Rails?
Here's what I've found:
Splango https://github.com/shimon/Splango -- Not compatible with Django 1.5 (although most compatibility bugs I found were trivial to fix). Largely un-touched since October 2010, except for a fix August 2012 which claims to make sure templates get included in the install. Since templates don't get included in the install when Splango is installed via PyPI, either the fix didn't work or didn't get submitted to PyPI. Documentation is largely accurate, but doesn't completely cover how to set up tests and get reports. It tells you how to configure the template to gather the data, but there appears to be additional steps required in the admin interface which are completely undocumented, and I'm not sure I've done them properly.
Django-lean. Original at https://bitbucket.org/akoha/django-lean has not been updated since July 2010. There is an apparently "blessed" fork at https://github.com/anandhenry2002/django-lean which has not been changed since May 2012, when it was copied over from the original. The original's documentation is incorrect in ways that make following the examples impossible. (Though you can probably muddle your way through, as I did.) The new version's documentation has formatting problems that make it difficult to read on github. (This appears to be because it's the unchanged documentation from the old project, and BitBucket syntax doesn't work on Github.) The django-lean Google Group has not had a message since July 2012.
django-mini-lean https://github.com/DanAncona/django-mini-lean -- Updated as recently as February 2013, but undocumented.
Leaner - https://bitbucket.org/brianjinwright/leaner -- Last updated July 2012, and no docs.
Django-AB -- Last updated May 2009. Is not a package, and can't be installed via PIP or PyPI. After placing the checkout in my django app folder (and renaming the folder to ab) and following the installation instructions, I get an error loading the template loader that I have not tracked down further.
So far Splango appears to be the winner, as I've actually been able to get it more-or-less working (by manually installing the templates, and then editing them to fix Django 1.5 incompatibilities).
Can anyone point me to anything I've missed?
You have missed this app : https://github.com/mixcloud/django-experiments + https://github.com/disqus/gargoyle/
And then there's waffle: http://waffle.readthedocs.org/
It's simple, updated, maintained, but not very feature rich, it doesn't have any analytics/reporting stuff integrated. But then again, google analytics or mixpanel type of service is better for this.
I first looked at Django-AB and that is almost what I wanted, but I couldn't get it to work either. After looking at django-experiments and deciding I didn't want to mess around with redis yet, I decided to roll my own. I've tried to package it up nicely and make it easy to use for the beginner. It's super basic.

You can swap out entirely different page layouts with Google Analytics Experiments (their default experiment setup will redirect users to a different URL for each variation you have), although in general its much easier to interpret why something is more successful if you test smaller things against each other.
You are right that testing different funnels and user flows against each other using Google Analytics would require a lot of manual setup; although theoretically you could do it by swapping out different links and tracking your users with UTM campaigns.
For smaller A/B tests within the same page, I ended up using Google Analytics Experiments and writing a custom Django CMS plugin for adding a few variant options to a template, which queries the Google Analytics API and displays the correct variant using Javascript.

Sitecore Items conversion from version 6.5 to version 6.6

I'm in the middle of developing a website using Sitecore 6.5 and when my company knew that Sitecore released version 6.6 they want to use the new version instead for the project, Is there a way to convert my Items created using sitecore 6.5(webform) to sitecore 6.6(mvc) so I wont redo my work?
General content items are not affected by switching to MVC .. it would be any presentation items that you would need to update if you did make a move to MVC. As #JayS says MVC is not mandatory and you can actually mix MVC and Webforms layouts within the solution so if you wanted to convert to MVC slowly over time it would be a possibility.
Just wanted to note that there is no such thing as 'recommended releases' any more (see: http://sdn.sitecore.net/support/versioning%20policy.aspx). Lots of customers already using 6.6 in production. The upgrade from 6.5 -> 6.6 should be straightforward (but this obviously depends on the complexity of your solution).
From my understanding, you do not need to use MVC in 6.6 if you do not want to. John West has a blog about the installer and how it enables MVC. You should be able to port your existing solution up to 6.6 relatively easily, but if you wish to take advantage of MVC you'll need to alter your solution.
Note, I believe that Sitecore has not marked 6.6 as a recommended release, so you may wish to inform your company of that.
UPDATE: Thanks to Stephen for pointing out that Sitecore has discontinued using the recommended release tagging. Some of their documentation online still needs to be updated regarding this :)

Joomla - mod_articles_latest not showing latest

I've tried searching around on the site and google with no luck so here goes;
In joomla, using the module mod_articles_latest, what could be the reason for it not showing the latest news? I get 4 news as i requested and i told it to choose by dated published yet it seems that it doesn't update when i add a new article to the category i told it to use.
I'm thinking cache might be the reason but i i have it turned off for the module.
Using joomla 2.5.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
First Make sure you haven't modify any files of mod_articles_latest. If you have modified then revert it n check. Second Check the list of articles & their published date. Even if it doesn't work then there are lots of free module which shows the list of latest articles on Joomla extension site. If you have half an hour & you know how to built Joomla module, you can proceed. At the end mod_articles_latest modules works perfectly for me. Thanks

How to get consolidated report of project mile stones for all projects in Redmine

We are Redmine as a Project management tool. It has been working great and we are happy with it. We now have a new requirement now. Our management wants to see a report showing each project's delivery date, manager, start date, total issues, open issues, closed issues. I searched at several places for quite some time and did not get a solution. I appreciate if someone can offer help.
This is, for me personally, the single thing JIRA is better at :)
Anyway, that being said, you can get a summary of all open versions on your "my page", eh, page, by using this plugin:
https://github.com/bradbeattie/redmine-my-widgets-plugin
And you can also add custom queries to "my page".
You can get much of what you want in the issue report. Click the Summary button in the sidebar of the issues page in each project. Example
Create one generic top level project. Calendar, gantt charts, issues, etc, for the top level project will show everything for every project that's nested underneath.
If you are properly adding roadmaps/milestones to all the projects, you can use My Roadmaps plugin to get a consolidated visibility:
http://www.redmine.org/plugins/my_roadmaps
It works fine with 1.2 and 1.4 versions.
