Startup errors in Dreamweaver : The following translators were not loaded due to errors

This post is for Dreamweaver 8 version

Having followed the procedures in updating dreamweaver (as mentioned in said article), Dreamweaver did startup successfully but this time errors kept popping:

The following translators were not loaded due to errors:
ASP.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
ASP.NET.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
ColdFusion.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
PHP_MySQL.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
JSP.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
XSLT.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.

Here is the solution


Delete FileCache.dat files from the Dreamweaver user configuration folder.

Delete the WinFileCache-7A9586CB.dat, MacFileCache-BFE7CE2E.dat, or FileCache.dat file from the Dreamweaver user configuration folder. It is recommended to delete the FileCache.dat file if you are experiencing a JavaScript error related to "dwscripts" or if you are receiving a "translators were not loaded" error message. The string of characters after "FileCache-" may differ on your machine. The location of the FileCache.dat file depends your operating system and your version of Dreamweaver. Note that on Windows, the Application Data and AppData folders are hidden by default, so verify that your Windows Explorer folder options are set to View Hidden Folders.

class Yourpackage_Yourmodule_Model_Rule extends Mage_CatalogRule_Model_Rule

{

   /**

     * Apply all price rules to product

     *

     * @param int|Mage_Catalog_Model_Product $product

     * @return Mage_CatalogRule_Model_Rule

     */

    public function applyAllRulesToProduct($product)

    {

        $this->_getResource()->applyAllRulesForDateRange(NULL, NULL, $product);

        $this->_invalidateCache();

        //Notice this little line

    Mage::app()->getCacheInstance()->cleanType('block_html');

        $indexProcess = Mage::getSingleton('index/indexer')->getProcessByCode('catalog_product_price');

        if ($indexProcess) {

            $indexProcess->reindexAll();

        }

    }

}

Date of Birth (DOB) Issue on registration form for Magento version 1.5.0.1

There was some error in Magento version 1.5.0.1 -

parseInt accepts a prefix to specify the radius, validation is now crippled.

I changed line 437 in /js/varien/js.js

From:

var error = false, day = parseInt(this.day.value) || 0, month = parseInt(this.month.value) || 0, year = parseInt(this.year.value) || 0;




Replace:




var error = false, day = parseInt(this.day.value, 10) || 0, month = parseInt(this.month.value, 10) || 0, year = parseInt(this.year.value, 10) || 0;
