Can you believe that CubeCart has been around since 2003? What started out as a small project has snowballed powering thousands of stores globally. If you have a success story you would allow us to publish we would be truly very grateful if you could share it with us. We need new merchants to realise the potential they have using CubeCart. This will help contribute to further growth, new features and an all round brighter future for everyone. Please feel free to email me personally at [email protected] with your company name, store URL and short success story of upto say 300 words. Many thanks to you all for your support.

In the skin's config.xml, find the <image reference="category">. It is set for 800 pixels on the longest dimension. Change this to 900. It will auto-scale down to fit the container (which is 848 px wide). Next, you will need to find the CSS rule (I do not know where it would be.): .cat-hdr-img img { margin: 0px auto 5px; } Change to: .cat-hdr-img img { margin: 0 0 5px; } This CSS change will remove the margin that the browser adds to either side of the image, in equal part, to center the image in the slightly wider container. Be sure to clear Cubecart's cache.

The developer will probably / should be releasing a new version of the skin to take account of all of the skin changes included in this recent version. However, if you are using a modified version, then that update will not automatically apply to your store and you should chat to the developer about this. If you dont make all the front end skin changes then you wont be able to take advantage of any fixes / new functionality that has been added - you may say that you dont need this functionality but it is always best to stay fully up to date because the situation simply gets worse and worse with each upgrade that is released - this is the problem with having custom changes

Try this: In includes/ckeditor/config.js, at the bottom, find: config.allowedContent = true; }; Change to: config.allowedContent = true; config.coreStyles_italic = {element : 'em'}; config.extraAllowedContent = 'i[*]{*}(*)'; }; CKEDITOR.dtd.$removeEmpty = '{i: 0}'; The same added statements can be used for other HTML tags used in unorthodox ways.

Email routing will automatically be set to "Automatic" or sometimes "Local Mail Exchanger" which in 99.99% of cases will be the same thing. You only need to set it to Remote if you are using external MX records pointing away from your hosting company which is effectively what Godaddy are forcing you to do by closing email ports. Some people choose to use gmail or other email service providers, but why should you have to ? Disabling php mail() is standard practice now for security reasons (WHM built in security advisor flags this as a high security risk if it is enabled !) and SMTP should always be used and configured to use SSL / TLS. Email sent via SMTP is much more secure, more likely to be delivered and not rejected or put into spam and isnt complicated to use. So much so, I would recommend that php mail() is removed as an option in CubeCart as it is very likely to disappear as an option in the near future Ian

For anyone that uses git with CubeCart (or any other packages for that matter), cPanel have been adding a huge amount of functionality which will be included in V68 - see https://features.cpanel.net/topic/allow-users-to-install-websites-from-version-control V68 is already in Edge release status so most people will not have access to it yet, but V68 should be into general release in a few months (V66 has just been released in the last week) Ian

This is the first time using this cart. Like it a lot, easy to work with and the CMS feature is excellent, my previous cart didn't have that. Didn't customize too much but happy with the way it came out. Don's Vintage Audio Feedback welcome!

The 'top menu' is the "Navigation" bar (or sometimes "Shop by Category" box). The menu is built from all the categories (enabled and unhidden) there are. There are also three special items: Home, Sale Items, and Gift Certificates. To add any other links to this group would require editing the skin template "box.navigation.php".

You are getting the address items from the admin, Order Summary page? If so, try the following: In the admin /sources/orders.index.inc.php: Near line 419, find: $overview_summary['country'] = is_numeric($overview_summary['country']) ? getCountryFormat($overview_summary['country'], 'numcode', 'name') : $overview_summary['country']; After that, add: $overview_summary['state_abbrev_d'] = is_numeric($overview_summary['state_d']) ? getStateFormat($overview_summary['state_d'], 'id', 'abbrev') : $overview_summary['state_d']; $overview_summary['state_abbrev'] = is_numeric($overview_summary['state']) ? getStateFormat($overview_summary['state'], 'id', 'abbrev') : $overview_summary['state']; In the admin template orders.index.php: Near lines 163-164, from: {$OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.town_d|upper}<br> {if !empty($OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.state_d)}{$OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.state_d|upper}, {/if}{$OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.postcode_d}<br> To: {$OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.town_d|upper}&nbsp; {if !empty($OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.state_abbrev_d)}{$OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.state_abbrev_d|upper}, {/if}{$OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.postcode_d}<br> Near lines 174-175, from: {$OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.town|upper}<br> {if !empty($OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.state)}{$OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.state|upper}, {/if}{$OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.postcode}<br> To: {$OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.town|upper}&nbsp; {if !empty($OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.state_abbrev)}{$OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.state_abbrev|upper}, {/if}{$OVERVIEW_SUMMARY.postcode}<br>

Did you follow the steps in method 1? https://support.cubecart.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360003794198-How-do-I-upgrade-from-CubeCart-v6-to-latest-v6-

Recently had to change the password on a friend's Outlook 2013 (which does not do OAuth like Thunderbird). Now, I have not actually done this for my development installations of CubeCart yet, but I have every expectation that this will work. What you need to do is to acquire an "app password" for your "less-than-secure" app (as Google puts it). See: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833 To do this, you will need a cell-phone. In your GMail account settings page, find the Security section. Enable "Two-step Verification". (This is not as bad as it sounds.) This is only to verify that the person doing this process is, in fact, you. Google will text a code when you begin the process of generating an app password. There should now be a new option in the "Signing in to Google" section for App Passwords. Select this option. On the App Password page, choose Select App, and for the name of the app, choose something like FettleBox Store (something in one or two words to describe what you are to use this app password for). Then choose Generate. The 16-digit number in a yellow banner is what you will enter in CubeCart's SMTP Password field (the banner shows spaces between each set of four digits that are not part of the password - do not include the spaces). This is all how it worked for Outlook 2013. I expect it to also work when wanting to use GMail as the SMTP server for CubeCart.

Attached is a report that covers the edits needed to make CC645 run under PHP 8.1. Of course, without a comprehensive testing procedure plan - preferably automated - hitting every feature and function that CubeCart can do is impractical. As such, I advise against running this in a production environment, for now. However, I believe I've found and fixed the Fatal Errors, Warnings, Deprecated Notices, as well as a number of general notices that became visible under PHP 8.1, and made a number of code optimizations, but only in the core code. I have chosen to not make a fork of CC645. For those who want to slog through the edits, I hope they will be able to discern the reasons for each change. Any module encoded with ionCube will need a new version from the publisher. The publisher should also take it upon themselves to test their modules under PHP 8.1. Some additional insights can be found reading the latest Github issues. PHP8.1_Changes.txt.zip

Hi, Without knowing anything about the images (size ect) you intend to use i can only give a vague example. Assuming the images you plan on using are all the same size/dimensions then you could do something like: 1) Upload the 4 images to your site (for the example below i've used square images and uploaded them to root > images > source ) 2) Admin > Documents > Select the document which is your homepage 3) Select the "Content" tab and then click the "Source" button on the text editor. 4) Add some html to display your image "buttons" - For the example i am using square images so layout might need changing if you use rectangular images. <div class="home-blocks"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3"> <a href="http://www.google.com"> <img class="img-responsive" src="images/source/mens_sale.png" title="Shop Mens Sale" /> </a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3"> <a href="http://www.google.com"> <img class="img-responsive" src="images/source/womens_sale.png" title="Shop Womens Sale" /> </a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3"> <a href="http://www.google.com"> <img class="img-responsive" src="images/source/childrens_sale.png" title="Shop Childens Sale" /> </a> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3"> <a href="http://www.google.com"> <img class="img-responsive" src="images/source/clearance.png" title="Clearance Sale - All Stock Must Go!" /> </a> </div> </div> </div> 5) Add a small bit of css When adding custom css styling i recommend you create a custom css file so that they don't get lost during any updates. To create a custom css file go to skins > basix > css and make a copy of the cubecart.default.css file and rename it cubecart.custom.css Open cubecart.custom.css and add the following .home-blocks{ text-align:center; } .home-blocks a { display:inline-block; margin: 10px 0px; } .home-blocks a img{ max-width:100%; } @media (max-width: 767px){ .home-blocks .col-xs-12 { width: 50%; } } then go to skins > basix > templates > element.css.php and add <link rel="stylesheet" href="{$ROOT_PATH}skins/{$SKIN_FOLDER}/css/cubecart.custom.css"> And clear your site cache via your admin panel.

For CubeCart not accepting any of the general store settings probably means that one or more of the admin-supplied data items is extraordinarily long. Settings that could get out-of-hand include a really long Offline Message, or a really long Copyright Text. All the data is probably getting sent from the browser to CubeCart, but then CubeCart wants to "serialize" all that data, and the limit is 64KiB. You might also want to create the error log to see if CubeCart is complaining about anything. https://forums.cubecart.com/topic/51550-how-to-create-the-error-log/

Oh my... Be back soon.

Hi @radman420 That slider is just a basic bxslider banner slider set in the document content for the homepage which you modify via your admin panel. Firstly create your banners and upload them to your site, for example (images > source > slide_001.png) Banners should be of equal size Then, go to your admin panel and in the left-hand menu go to File Manager > Documents Then, select the document for the homepage OR create a new document On the document content section click the "source" button in the left corner and create a slider box by adding : <ul class="bxslider"> </ul> If you want your banner to link to a page or product, then use the following structure within the ul element above : <li> <a href="#LINK HERE#"> <img src="#IMAGE SRC HERE#" /> </a> </li> Replace the following: #LINK HERE# -- with the url you want it to goto #IMAGE SRC HERE# -- with the image source which for the example would be something like --> images/source/slide_001.png Then, repeat for each slide. If you just want your banner to displayed with no link, then use the following structure within the ul element above : <li> <img src="#IMAGE SRC HERE#" /> </li> So, your final content will look something like the following for a slider with linked images: <ul class="bxslider"> <li><a href="http://www.google.com"> <img src="images/source/slide_001.png" /> </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.google.com"> <img src="images/source/slide_002.png" /> </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.google.com"> <img src="images/source/slide_003.png" /> </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.google.com"> <img src="images/source/slide_004.png" /> </a></li> </ul> Then click save, make sure the document is set for Homepage and that the status option is checked. Might need to clear your sites cache. And that should be it.

Please confirm that there are more than one image associated with a product being tested.

@radman bare with me, i'll pop @havenswift-hosting a message to get his take on it. If it is a caching issue he'll know more about it.

@traylor23 you are very welcome ! One takeaway is that you might want to look into the frequency and accessibility of backups your hosting company is doing. Minimum has to be full off-server backup once per day but even that for busy transactional sites can lead to massive data loss. As an example, we do hourly Continuous Data Protection backups !

Hey @radman420 In that case it would appear to be some sort of data issue then if it doesn't show in both Amzin or the foundation skin.

Replied to your email.

Hi Coders! I am in the need of a couple of modifications. The website concerned is http://www.firstchoicemobility.com I currently have a large dropdown menu that works fine apart from when the web browser is resized. the text then gathers up on the left hand side. Apparently this is because the coding used (Isotope) for the menu should not be used like that so there is no fix. So I would like a new menu created the same without the browser resizing issue. The ability to print off or save a PDF of a product page (I have a sample of what i would like the layout to look like) The ability to re-order images to display on the product page in the order i wish. Please contact me if you are able to carry one or all of the modifications. Thank You Gary

There is no need to do this but it should be covered in your Privacy Policy. Having any consent pre-selected will not be allowed under GDPR.

Great Plugin, now I don't have 700 odd microdata warnings in Google merchant, upsetting me all the time.

In the folder /js/styles/, do you have two copies of jquery.bxslider.css -- perhaps one being named something like orig_jquery.bxslider.css? If so, then styles.php is picking up both copies, with the original taking precedence over the edited. I am also not finding the file /js/styles/images/bx_slider_controls.png.

The problem with the left/right arrow buttons is that the file of the controls sprite belongs to a different effect. Suggest that you edit the /js/styles/jquery.bxslider.css so that the controls.png file called would be bx_slider_controls.png, then copy the controls.png from the Foundation skin, renaming it bx_slider_controls.png. Then force the browser to reload the page's resources.

Please note that the template rendering engine (Smarty) builds the page before the web browser gets it. Putting HTML comment tags around the Smarty commands does not stop Smarty from replacing those {commands-in-braces} with the intended content. That intended content could also have HTML comment tags. That results in nested comment tags. Look for those statements in the template as mentioned earlier, but change them to look like this: {* include file='templates/box.newsletter.php' *} and {* include file='templates/box.popular.php' *} The brace-asterisk-space sequence is Smarty's comment tag. Thus, the content will not appear in the rendered page sent out to the browser.

I've added another version of this skin, which uses the same layout but a different look. You never know: someone may be interested one day!

I decided to go slightly further. Added - as a zone then updated the templates to say something like this. <input type="hidden" name="billing[state]" id="state-list" value="-" /> Seems to work.

We need to keep looking at where the code finds certain data objectionable. You have an address_id of "1". I would like for you to use an external database manager. If you are being hosted, you probably have a hosted account control panel (Cpanel, maybe?). One of the tools provided in your control panel is phpMyAdmin. Using this, you can look at the database directly. Once you have phpMyAdmin showing you your database follow my instructions earlier.

Welcome Michal Kubacki! Glad to see you made it to the forums. When you received that error banner, you should have been taken to a screen for the customer to edit their address: ?_a=addressbook&action=edit&address_id=9 (or some number) CubeCart wants to create an array of all possible state/county and country terms that will be used by other processes (shipping, payment, etc). This happens at User->formatAddress(). This error is triggered when the state/county cannot be found in the CubeCart_geo_zone database table. In CubeCart's admin, Countries/Zones, Zones tab, page down to the country section where the suspect address is located, then look for the correct spelling of the County.

Try using Authorize Only. I would expect Payeezy to have this capability. Then, just be mindful that you will need to finish off each transaction manually.

It is best to make sure the data going into the table is correct in the first place so bsmithers solution will do that. If you have a lot of data already in there you can change existing post codes by running queries on the tables with post codes in e.g In the order summary table you can update post codes by using the following queries UPDATE `cc_CubeCart_order_summary` SET `postcode` = UPPER( `postcode` ) UPDATE `cc_CubeCart_order_summary` SET `postcode_d` = UPPER( `postcode_d` )

Isn't it already in the list further down? Maybe needs sorting in date order?

Thanks for the quick reply Al. I must not have been holding my mouth right or something. I messed around with this for over an hour - gave up and came here - then went back, cracked a beer open and had 1 mouthful and thought - one more try .....and yup ....you guessed it - it worked. Thanks again for the help. It is appreciated. Dean

OK, this looks like its on your own site. I think you need https at least for this. As per HarrisOrganic says If you go to manage extenstions, find card capture, and then allowed zones, you'll need to add the zones which are allowed to post card details. Personally, I'd avoid this plugin and use something like PayPal, as you're probably contravening all PCI DSS rules hosting the card gateway yourself. Experience a security breach and a whole can of worms could open up for you. Just my opinion.

I've had trouble with Baidu before and had already added the Disallows. I was not using Ian's hosting at that time and had to figure it out for myself. It's situations like this that make Havenswift Hosting my preference.

The other option is if you are interested in moving your hosting, then we provide free and full support for CubeCart as part of our E-Commerce packages, and can sort this out for you. I will do the migration of your site over to one of our servers for free as well ! Ian

What version of CC and what skin are you using? Have you recently upgraded? from what?

I've checked my cart.class.php and line 1184 refers to something around taxes. Not knowing enough about php to faithfully state where the problem might be, but it's worth a quick look at your tax setup (maybe ??)

Just order status change automatically from payment status responses.

yes lol...what safe to leave or change back

We have never certified or tested the Softaculous installs/upgrades. The auto upgrade tool from 6.1.6 should be ok but there is still potential file permission issues. I always use FTP personally to be sure.

@Al Brookbanks ?

It has been covered in quite a few threads on here previously - maybe the best to follow is

You would need a Code Snippet. The standard search mechanism must have keywords to search on. Then, from the Advanced Search page, you can filter against chosen Manufacturers. You may think that one can search for wild-card anything, and name the manufacturer in the URL, but it doesn't work that way - unfortunately. Here is a Code Snippet you can try: In admin, Manage Hooks, Code Snippets tab, click Add Snippet. Enabled: checked Unique ID: search_specific@cubecart -- max 32 chars Execution Order: 1 Description: Allows to search for specific properties Trigger: class.catalogue.pre_search Version: 1.0 Author: https://forums.cubecart.com/topic/52317-turn-manufacturer-field-into-a-tag/ PHP Code: <?php /* Specify in the array the names of the columns containing specific value properties of the inventory. * That is, the property that uniquely identifies an item. * Use the actual names of the columns holding these properties. */ $specific_properties = array( 'found' => "Publisher", // Found "what" on the Search Results page 'table' => "CubeCart_manufacturers", 'alias' => "CCM", 'on' => array('master' => "I.manufacturer", 'slave' => "id"), 'column' => array("name"), ); foreach($specific_properties['column'] as $property) { if(isset($search_data[$specific_properties['alias']][$property]) && !empty($search_data[$specific_properties['alias']][$property])) { $search_mode = ($search_mode == 'RLIKE' || $search_mode == 'LIKE') ? $search_mode : 'RLIKE'; // Can't use fulltext - not using fulltext index $_REQUEST['search']['keywords'] = $specific_properties['found'].":".$search_data[$specific_properties['alias']][$property]; // Needed to show on Search Results page $joins[] = sprintf( '%1$s'.$specific_properties['table']."

That is to say, if you put this URL as a link on a page, CubeCart will perform a search for what you want: http://www.mystore.com/search.html?search%5BCCM%5D%5Bname%5D=Riley&_a=category where Riley is part of the Manufacturer's name.

This happens when CubeCart was upgraded from CC613 or earlier (I think) to a later version, but your web browser is still using the CSS file from that prior version. Please force your browser to reload the page's resources: images, CSS and javascript files. This can most often be done with CTRL-F5.
