I am trying to add structured data from schema.org to my e-commerce site, but I do not show price since the majority of our products need to quoted. Is it possible to add the price as request a quote or do search engines frown upon this?
It's not really possible to display a price as "request a quote", Egregory, and Google may look at that type of price markup as spammy. I'm not sure how other search engines would accept that type of markup, either. Your best option would be to leave the price out of the markup.

Can anyone please help us with this?
We are using Netsuite advanced search to pull sales order for different subsidiary. We are able to get all the line items(except tax itmes) but its consists the amount in base currency. Is there any way we can get response with exact amount visible in UI.
Also Its very hard to understand the basic of Netsuite SUITE TALk- SOAP. Do you recommend any resources that will ease learning?
Thanks
Just an update with this question, with Advanced search we are able to get the foreign currency of Subsidiary using fxCost in columns But line items doesn't have this option. This causes whole another problem for us. Then we decided to use SAVED SEARCH. Saved search provides us feature to disable foregin currency just by choosing CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE RATE to none. We are using saved search ID in the Advanced search paramater ie using savedSearchScriptId from Netsuite Schema.
Hope it would be helpful to anyone who is strugglign with this kind of issue.
Thanks
For tax line in fx currency, prefer to do Tax Amount/exchange rate.
I have a custom page type for employees, and one of the fields is Location. I want to show/filter only employees in "San Jose" or "San Francisco" and used this WHERE condition below but it didn't work. Apparently, I missed something very basic. Could you help?
Location LIKE '%San%';
I did another test, where instead of page type, I used custom table with the exact field names and was able to filter using the same statement. On a related note, I'm new to Kentico and exploring which is more suitable for creating/maintaining a list of about 100 employees - Page Types or Custom Tables - with the ability to filter by department, location etc. Appreciated your input here as well. Best!
If you're adding the WHERE condition into a standard Kentico repeater or other data source, the syntax looks right except you do not need the semicolon ";".
You'll also want to double check the field name, and if you are limiting your query to certain columns (as is best practice especially for larger data sets) and be sure the field you are filtering on is being selected.
Regarding the management of your employee list, either method you've described will work. In that scenario it typically depends on who will be editing the content, and how frequently. It is more editor-friendly, in my opinion, to add those documents into the content tree. This also gives you quicker control over the order, and keeps it similar to how other content on the site is maintained. I also like to set up folders or other parent page types as categories if needed, so the documents can be dragged and dropped between them and it sets up a visual taxonomy that isn't possible if it's all stored in a table. Storing items in the tree also allows for workflow and versioning, as well as more granular control over permissions/access, if this is important to you.
It's awesome that you are thinking about how to best store your data in advance. There many factors to consider such as overall number of records, number of columns, the fact whether you need to use workflow, versioning, preview etc..
The best source of information regarding this would be this article which summarizes all options you have and gives clear explanations of which to use in which scenario.
And to your original question - What components are you using to display the data? Is the repeater? If so, can you make sure to set the Page types property to match the page type you are displaying? If the page types is not configured, Kentico will not load any custom fields because it doesn't know from which table it should load the data from.
Additionally make sure to either include the "Location" field in the Columns property or leave the columns blank (not recommended because then Kentico loads all columns which is like 200. when you count all from CMS_Document, CMS_Tree etc..)
Below is the framework that I use to debug whenever I wish to add a repeater and is facing some problem.
First get all the columns instead of accessing limited columns. Fetching all columns will make sure that I don't have any problem retrieving data.
If I am missing any particular column information name, then I would double check the column name.
I verify this by firing up SQL server management studio and access data from page type table or custom table.
If access to SQL server is not available(generally in Azure hosted solutions with restrictive access to DB), I would enable SQL debug from the settings and see what query repeater is generating to see if it is correct.
I'm sure this is something simple for which I just haven't found the documentation:
I have a website with a member directory. All of the member data is stored in a members channel, which uses a variety of custom fields – some of which are part of the P&T Field Pack.
I use a Safecracker form to enter the data, and it renders the custom fields beautifully:
What I want is essentially the same form, but have it perform a search, instead of enter the field data.
I've scoured the Search Module documentation, but can't find information on how to search individual fields, let alone how to render them. I've also searched the Safecracker documentation for how to configure it to search (the ideal solution).
How do I do this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

EE's search module won't do what you want - it's more of a general search tool, and its "Advanced search" form is less about custom fields and more about things like channels and categories.
You want to look at Solspace's Super Search. It's much more powerful, and will allow you to do exactly what you want in terms of your query - though you will have to build the form manually (i.e., you won't get the SafeCracker-style simplicity of using {field:field_name} to have your form fields output for you).
I would also recommend checking out SuperSearch.
We are planning to use foursquare api to get venue in a particular city. I want data of all the food outlets in a particular city. I have managed to get the categories list but not sure how to get venues from that particular category in a particular city or area.
Please share some tutorials or document which i can check out.
One way of doing what you want will be using the Venues Platform for browsing according to a category ID.
Look at venue search API reference.
Example of using it:
I know that 4bf58dd8d48988d11f941735 is nightlife (just picked the first one I saw)
So I will call the API (the ll is someplace in New York):
https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search?ll=40.7268,-73.9972&categoryId=4bf58dd8d48988d11f941735&limit=50&intent=browse&radius=1500&your ids/oauth
Or use the explorer to see results right away.
Important, read the search API and the parameters used here to alter behavior to your needs.
Another very important thing, the API parameters are case sensitive!! (so if they want categoryId, categoryid will not work :) )
Currently, the site search will search all of the skus of the items marked as being visible in search. This is all well and good.
The problem arises when the customer knows a sku of the individual child item. So, let's say a product comes in both a 20 foot and 25 foot variation. We would put those into a configurable product and have a single product page where a customer could then choose which of those two lengths.
What happens is, a customer invariably knows that the sku of the 20 ft variation is RDB-20, while the other is RDB-25. A search for RDB-25 then, comes back with no results since the simple product is not visible in search - it doesn't realize there is a match.
How do I get the search to search an item with visibility "Not Visible Individually", when it's parent is visible in search?
The desired effect is that, if a child SKU is searched for, the parent should show up in the results.
There really is no good way of doing it without extending the default search, but at that point you might as well look for other options.
Here's a workaround that might be doable depending on how you manage your products and it worked for me until I moved on from the default search.
Rather than altering the search, try adding an attribute to all products and make it hidden concatenating all the skus into this field. The search should find the text attribute and show the configurable.
Its a bit of a workaround but works for me.
This is untested, but I did a bit of perusing in our attributes and I think I found something that might help.
Currently since our child products don't show up in our search, we have the parent populate with the children product's attributes.
However, things like brand, taxable amount, description, populate for every child product while our SKU does not.
The only difference I can see between the two attributes is under manage attributes -> click on attribute -> and then under properties go to frontend properties and select
Use In Search Results Layered Navigation: YES
Used in Product Listing: YES
Use In Layered Navigation: Filterable (with results)
I'm not sure which of these do what, but in the population of the fulltext search data table, somewhere it is being told to populate for the children and I believe that the admin panel is where.
I hope this helps!
