Factors for part appearance on HTP.net
Most often users with replikwando running on their systems will see the parts and any updates made to a part reflected on the site immeadiately. However there is a delay before the part can be found using a search with a keyword in it. The sphinx engine has to run an index update to find keywords within the part data in order to find it. Sphinx updates are somewhat server intensive and as such are run only a couple of times during the day.
Parts will appear if:
- Status is A or H
- Parts with a status of H will display an overlay, letting the user know that the part may not be available anymore.
- Quantity greater than zero
- Part has been marked in ITrack to appear on the Web. See Configuring parts in ITrack to not appear on HTP.net section below
- Match our manufacturer and model lists (.0, spaces and - are ignored)
- Note: This can be checked in ITrack with ITrack Online
- Suggested price is 40% of cost the price states 'Please Call' (on some customer websites the parts are completely removed)
Notes:
Parts with a category of 'CORE' will only appear on the http://cores.heavytruckparts.net/search.php pages. Links to specific searches that match an end users search are shown on the bottom of each page of search results.
Customers embedded or hosted websites don't have to match HTP.net's manufacturer and model lists in order for parts to show up.
