08/02/2023, 6:25 PMEditing the theme templates is pretty straight forward. You use the theme dev tools.

Will
08/02/2023, 6:25 PMwe have suitecommerce basic... so no dev tools
c
Chris

Chris
08/02/2023, 6:27 PMI've fiddled with that a couple years ago. I think it is possible to edit those templates too.
w
Will
08/02/2023, 6:28 PMit has to be possible, otherwise every site would have the exact same content

08/02/2023, 7:17 PMNo, you're gonna have to read the docs and use the tools as intended.

Chris
08/02/2023, 7:17 PMsearch "theme development tools" in the help center and it has a step by step.

08/03/2023, 8:50 AMJust be aware that by creating a custom theme, you won't receive updates to it -- you'll have to manually merge them in yourself

Will
08/03/2023, 12:57 PM@Steve Goldberg -> Hey dude - so when I first started working with netsuite about 6 months ago I was told we wouldn't have direct access to code / could not build from scratch.. we have Suitecommerce Basic. Are the above instructions true that we can build a custom theme - and do the updates ourselves?

Steve Goldberg
08/03/2023, 1:02 PMSuiteCommerce (sometimes called SuiteCommerce Standard by non-NetSuiters) is the ‘full SaaS’ version of SuiteCommerce (which is also the name of the family of products). Its source code is a locked, managed bundle — unlike SuiteCommerce Advanced which is unlocked and unmanaged. The benefit of SC vs SCA is that your site is always upgraded when there is a new version, whereas SCA requires you to do it yourself — and many customers don’t like this, and many, in fact, don’t do it at all. We still have customers using code that’s nearly a decade old.

08/03/2023, 1:02 PMWith SC and newer versions of SCA, your theme is a separate code bundle that can be either managed and locked or unmanaged and unlocked.
Steve Goldberg
08/03/2023, 1:03 PMI don’t know what you have already but the point is that if you are using one of our managed themes and then move to an unmanaged theme then you become responsible for updating it
Steve Goldberg
08/03/2023, 1:04 PMI would recommend doing the training course: https://learn.oracle.com/ols/course/suitecommerce-theme-and-extension-development/85169/84754

10/16/2023, 12:46 PMhi @Steve Goldberg
is there 'detailed' documentation on upgrading to the latest version of SCA?
s
Steve Goldberg
10/16/2023, 1:31 PMThere isn’t.
Steve Goldberg
10/16/2023, 1:32 PMFrom what I’ve heard from people who do it, you sometimes need to create three-way diffs:
1. Your customised SCA code and the code version it was built from
2. Your customised SCA code and the code you’re upgrading to
3. The core code version it was built from and the one you’re upgrading to

10/16/2023, 1:49 PMsounds like a lot of work 😛
Philip Denys
10/16/2023, 1:53 PMI thought it would simple as to just fetch in the latest dev tools and deploy...
s
Steve Goldberg
10/16/2023, 2:07 PMWell the amount of work depends on how customised the core code is
Steve Goldberg
10/16/2023, 2:07 PMIf you’ve been following best practices then it shouldn’t be too hard 😉

Steve Goldberg
10/16/2023, 2:07 PMIt also depends on how old the current version is
p
Philip Denys
10/16/2023, 2:07 PMits 2019.1 to 2023.1.3
s
Steve Goldberg
10/16/2023, 2:08 PMThere are loads of things that can affect it, it’s part of the reason why we’ve never written a guide. It’s hard to be helpful when there are so many variables at play

10/16/2023, 2:18 PMand also i've been tasked to do this without a SB and upgrade directly in PROD should i be worried? :D

Steve Goldberg
10/16/2023, 2:20 PMYou can certainly create a duplicate WSR / config record / SSPs and test it on those from the same account
Steve Goldberg
10/16/2023, 2:20 PMI think doing it on the live site without testing it first seems risky to me
