I am not sure how an out-of-the-box solution would perform the various steps you've outlined. Could you elaborate?

This plugin may be of interest: https://www.cubecart.com/extensions/plugins/related-products-manual-automated-recommendations Please note that it was last updated in 2018, so you should send a note to the developer to see if a version has been written for PHP8 and that it works for CC6.5.

I have doctored my current 4.3.4 store to advise international customers not to pay immediately, but to wait while I cook up a postage quote for them. Small errors in weight calculations can become quite expensive for international sales, so I like to charge a price that I know will cover the actual cost. I tell international customers to select the Direct Deposit payment option (I have modified the text to be ‘Direct Deposit and International Customers) to park the order. I find a shipping solution, add the shipping to their invoice, then send them an email guiding them to the parked order so they can pay. Is there an out-of-the-box solution for this in CC 6.5? I am trying to wriggle out of developing a new solution… Thanks for your help, Russ

Cubists! I am working like a navvy to move from CC 4.3.4 to CC 6.5. It ain't easy… One of my challenges is ‘upsell product’ migration. Many of my products (notebooks, the paper kind) have accessory products (dividers, business card pockets, bookmarks etc) that people will buy if they know they exist, but wont look for if they don’t already know about them. To assist my customers achieve greater product satisfaction (and to deliver larger sale, as a mere by-product, you inderstand) my product descriptions have a copied-and-pasted block that starts with “You may want to consider souping up your notebook with these fine accessories” and then lists a bunch of links relevant to this particular product. In my old store, I just copied and pasted the appropriate list into the books’ descriptions. This creates a bit of an overhead when I wake up at 3am having thought of something else that should be assigned to a particular product group - I have to track the all candidates down one-by-one and update them individually. This raises two inconveniences: The links will change when I move into my new store (they are currently of the form “catid=66” wheres presumably the new store will have seo-friendly URLs); There is a lot of duplication - there ate maybe six or seven variations on the optional products lists, but they are duplicated - every notebook description has its own copy so there are hundreds of dups. Can anyone suggest a solution to this? For item 2, it would be nice, for e.g., to be able to put something like an ‘include’ clause into the description that loads a shared document so all products that take the same accessories get the links at runtime from a single source document. The first problem is probably unavoidable, unless the 6.5 can handle olde-style “catid” references as well as the SEO-friendlys. But maybe it can? This would allow me some flexibility after go-live and potentially avoid a mess of broken links. Here’s hoping! Thanks in advance for your help, Russ

Do you have a friend who has an email address other than 'hotmail'? Invite that friend to create an account, create an order, then you cancel it. See if the friend gets the email.

I tested it thoroughly and indeed, only sends/receives the newsletter, any other email, such as order cancelled, etc, won't get sent/received. If I look at the email log, I can see the status as sent and it doesn't generate an error. It won't even end up in the spam/junk folder, really odd.

Yes

The code mod did the trick. Thanks a bunch! I see also that 1 day after doing my new install there is an upgrade version. Has the sales tax fix been applied to the upgrade or will I also have to modify the code?

Whats the problem with webp?

Prevent automatic conversion from JPG to WebP by adjusting settings or requesting an option within the application, enhancing user control.

This release of CubeCart not only resolves a number of stability issues found in the previous version but patches a minor security vulnerability. We are grateful and thankful to Julio Araujo for reporting this so clearly and responsibly. The security patch (GitHub issue #3570) prevents malicious .phar type files from being uploaded via the back office of the store. Please note that a bad actor would need to have successfully authenticated into the back office in order to take advantage of this vulnerability. On those grounds we do not consider this to be a significant threat. To patch this vulnerability please either upgrade to CubeCart 6.5.5 or amend the code in the security patch linked above.

Thanks @bsmither

Correction @bsmither, it only sends the newsletter test to any email, but, when specifically, canceling an order, etc, no email y received. Really weird.

@bsmither right on the money as always. SMTP Authentication = on and the right credentials and voilá. Now is sending emails left and right. Thanks!

The part in red is informational. It is not a response to any offense. It is very much like a sign on the door of a business: No Smoking. It is there to inform you, regardless whether you are or are not a smoker. I do see the User/Pass part of the conversation. but secureserver.net is not agreeing to what they should be. If you copy/pasted the username and/or password into these fields, the copy may have grabbed an invisible tab or newline character. So, blank those fields and then manually type in what they should be.

Exactly @bsmither, because the test goes through. Let me do that. Thanks! ok it failed now. It did had the username and password fields filled in before, it was set to no, so it wasn't requiring, I guess they must be incorrect. But also it could be initiated at the server level, because check the red part on the error log: Testing SMTP - Fail 2024-04-24 02:07:37 SERVER -> CLIENT: 220-35.33.167.72.host.secureserver.net ESMTP Exim 4.97.1 #2 Wed, 24 Apr 2024 02:07:37 +0000 220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited, 220 and/or bulk e-mail. 2024-04-24 02:07:37 CLIENT -> SERVER: EHLO www.loteriagringa.com 2024-04-24 02:07:37 SERVER -> CLIENT: 250-35.33.167.72.host.secureserver.net Hello www.loteriagringa.com [72.167.33.35]250-SIZE 52428800250-8BITMIME250-PIPELINING250-PIPECONNECT250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN250-STARTTLS250 HELP 2024-04-24 02:07:37 CLIENT -> SERVER: STARTTLS 2024-04-24 02:07:37 SERVER -> CLIENT: 220 TLS go ahead 2024-04-24 02:07:37 CLIENT -> SERVER: EHLO www.loteriagringa.com 2024-04-24 02:07:37 SERVER -> CLIENT: 250-35.33.167.72.host.secureserver.net Hello www.loteriagringa.com [72.167.33.35]250-SIZE 52428800250-8BITMIME250-PIPELINING250-PIPECONNECT250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN250 HELP 2024-04-24 02:07:37 CLIENT -> SERVER: AUTH LOGIN 2024-04-24 02:07:37 SERVER -> CLIENT: 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 2024-04-24 02:07:37 CLIENT -> SERVER: [credentials hidden] 2024-04-24 02:07:37 SERVER -> CLIENT: 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 2024-04-24 02:07:37 CLIENT -> SERVER: [credentials hidden] 2024-04-24 02:07:39 SERVER -> CLIENT: 535 Incorrect authentication data 2024-04-24 02:07:39 SMTP ERROR: Password command failed: 535 Incorrect authentication data SMTP Error: Could not authenticate. 2024-04-24 02:07:39 CLIENT -> SERVER: QUIT 2024-04-24 02:07:39 SERVER -> CLIENT: 221 35.33.167.72.host.secureserver.net closing connection SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

Then I wonder how the test succeeded. Looking again at the conversation of the test, I see that there is no part that says, "Give me your Username," and "Give me your Password." Strange. Anyway, in Store Settings, Advanced tab, for the "Use SMTP Authentication (Normally Required)", select Yes. Then fill in the SMTP Username and SMTP Password fields. Test. In the test response conversation, make sure there is a part that the Client sends to the Server a (possibly hashed) username and a (possibly hashed) password. But DO NOT post what those values are, here in the forums!

It is the whole reported number as the percentage, that is, for you, 7.00 (do not include the actual percent character). If you are experiencing this in CC654, please know that several stores are experiencing tax calculation issues. The solution at present is to make an edit to the following file: /classes/cart.class.php, line 1203, remove the line: $this->get(); The value $37.90 is 3X what the tax should be, thus somewhere, somehow, CubeCart is running $179 through the tax calculator three times. (Personally, I have not discovered why, but the programmers imply this should be the fix.)

Thanks @bsmither. I created a newsletter and tested it and returned this on the log: SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: [email protected]: Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client. (www.loteriagringa.com) [72.167.33.35]:39408 is not permitted to relay through this server without authentication.

In admin, please review the Email Log.

I've tried to troubleshoot all possible scenarios on why messages are not sent, still clueless.

After setting up sales tax rates for all 50 states and running a test invoice I find that it is not calculating sales tax correctly. I have set up to only tax goods not goods and postage. Example- My state charges a flat 7%, so I entered the rate as 7.0000% so, on a test invoice of $179.00 US the correct sales tax should be $12.53. Thinking that I entered the percentage incorrectly I tried the following... at 7.0000% entry CC reported $37.90 at 0.7000% CC reported $3.79 at 0.0700% CC reported $0.38 Help was no help, as near as I can tell I have set the state sales tax rates correctly but as sad as the documentation is how would one know?

Greetings, I am currently making an attempt to setup the USPS Shipping Module Extension. I have been going through the process of enrolling with USPS. Below is a reply from the enrollment process. I have replied and have indicated CubeCart as the third-party software provider but have not had a response back from them yet. Question: Is there any plan to update the USPS extension to support the new USPS API Platform? an How soon will that be?

Did you see this? https://github.com/cubecart/v6/issues/3557 There is a code fix there. This release has been quite a dog. I'll have to get a new release out soon but I'm having to wait on something...

Thank you I thought same but am just trying everything in my capability to upgrade those four sites. I have two other sites which use vat inclusive prices and the system seems to be working so I left them on 6.5.4. Probably wait until I get back to the UK before doing further work. Thanks again your feedback is appreciated
