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

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 a hero! - Thanks works perfectly under SMTP!

There will be some problems with PHP 8.0+. There are several incompatible changes compared to earlier PHP version families. PHP 7.3 is in the same situation as PHP 5 - end of life. I think PHP 7.4 would work without too much trouble for CC642, - again, end of life.

The knowledgebase article that (sparsely) covers this is: https://cubecart.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360003794038-How-do-I-create-a-new-front-end-dynamic-section-or-page (Ignore the mention about the encoded index file.) A deeper discussion can be had here on the forums.

Thank you so much for your replies - I think I will take up your offer in the New Year for sure after my Christmas rush is over.

Name: Dillion (Bootstrap Responsive Skin) Price: Free Category: Skins Homepage: https://www.cubecart.com/extensions/skins/dillion-bootstrap-responsive-skin

This appears to be the summary view of the order in admin, correct? If so, I agree that the summary should indicate both what the shipping would otherwise have been, but that has been reduced because of some other function. (That function should be mentioned in the Notes tab.) I think this is not directly related: https://github.com/cubecart/v6/issues/2998 Let me see what I can find.

This may be related to an open issue: https://github.com/cubecart/v6/issues/3057 If the error was copied from CubeCart's admin, System Error Log, if you hover the mouse over the error, there may be a popup that gives the trace PHP made to get to the code that errored. If that popup appears, try to copy/paste the contents to a reply here.

Try to get back to PHP 5.6. Hopefully, you can resume store operations. If not, please add this statement, as the next-to-last line, to the /includes/global.inc.php file: $glob['safe_mode'] = true; This will have CubeCart not load any plugins. Doing this is based on the assumption that perhaps there is an installed plugin that requires the ionCube extension to PHP. That extension may still be a PHP 5.6 version. Additionally, plugins that use ionCube are coded against a specific version of the ionCube extension. So, even if the installed version of the ionCube extension is for PHP 7.1, the plugin also requires a new 'build' against that specific version of the ionCube extension. Please determine if there are any plugins by Noodleman or Havenswift that are installed on your site. If so, request updated versions of those plugins for PHP 7.4 (and switch to PHP 7.4 for your site).

In admin, Currencies, uncheck all currencies Status except INR. Save. In admin, Store Settings, General tab, Default Currency, choose INR. Save. Have CubeCart clear its internal cache.

Experiments have shown that making these two edits will resolve this issue.

Brains suggestion is definately the way to go initially. Create a new file ini-custom.inc.php in the root of your store. I did have issues with the memory size when i did this, so you might want to play with this. <?php # Custom initialization commands # Filename: ini-custom.inc.php # File location: main CubeCart folder ini_set('memory_limit', '256M'); ini_set('max_execution_time', '60'); ini_set('error_log', 'error_log'); ini_set('log_errors', 'on'); ?> To add to this, Cubecart support is extermely fair. You'd be hard pushed to find dedicated product support at such a price anywhere else. https://www.cubecart.com/technical-support

Sorry to hear this Rosemary. Best of luck achieving what you want. I'm not sure I have any valuable input.

It is 'responsive', so it works regardless of the device's viewport width.

Sorry for the delay. One option would be to use the HTML <video> element in your category description. So you would upload a mp4/webm or ogg video to your site then when writing your description click the source button on the text editor and use something like <video> <source src="catvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> Only issue is you'd have to play around with adding some other html and styling to try and get the layout right. Alternatively you could add a button and have the video load in a pop-up modal.

We need to find out why they aren't 'sticking'. My experience tells me to first look at those settings that could possibly make the aggregate amount of content larger than 64KiB. Those settings are the Offline Message and Copyright Text. Then second, look at the error log.

So, the browser did not find ORDER BY popularity DESC. The next step I would like for you to do is edit the skin template box.popular.php and at the very end of the file, add {debug}. Save the edited file. When you next ask for the Homepage, your browser will want to popup a window. Let it. (You may need to request the Homepage a second time if you need to give permission for the popup.) The popup contains all the variables assigned to the template. Scroll down to near the bottom and find $POPULAR in the left pane. If it is there, is there a value for it as shown in the right pane? It might be an array with 20 elements. (Do not post the array here. Just indicate if it is an array with 20 elements, or if the value is something else.)

What were your findings in admin, Store Settings, Layout tab? Verify that there exists a skin template named box.popular.php.

Hey @radman420 Just checked your site and theres no trace of the missing box so i can only assume that no data is been passed to $POPULAR used for it. Does it reappear if you switch to the foundation skin?

NiteFox beat me to it! But the solution works great. Thanks!!!

There is a CSS rule that is setting the max-height of the logo. .main-logo img { display: block; max-width: 100%; max-height: 60px; } I can't really determine where this rule is at, but it can be overruled by adding a style attribute to the <img> tag: <div class="col-xs-7 col-sm-3"> <a href="{$ROOT_PATH}" class="main-logo"> <img src="{$STORE_LOGO}" alt="{$CONFIG.store_name}" style="min-height: 120px;"> </a> </div> Edit the main.php and main.checkout.php templates.

Provided that the digital file is publically accessible, in admin, Add/Edit Product, Digital tab, Custom File Path section, you may enter either a direct path to a folder on CubeCart's server, or a Full Web Address that points to anywhere on the Internet. If your AWS repository requires a login, that may pose an obstacle unless you know how to overcome it.

Ah THAT's why you haven't paid your bill! Too busy with your new toy, which wasn't cheap I imagine.

An easy way is to add the style attribute to the link itself: <a itemprop="url" href="/my_special_link.html" title="My Special Link" style="background:red;">My Special Link</a>

We've found what we needed! Thanks for the assistance

Ok, I see that you have the friendly names of the database columns as the CSV headers. I hope you can change those headers. I suggest using the database table actual column names: 'available','status','name','image','product_code','cat_id','description', 'description_short','manufacturer','price','sale_price','cost_price', etc You can see the complete list of table column names in the admin /sources/products.import.inc.php file, lines 299-333. If you cannot change the CSV headers, then try using this: In the admin skin template products.import.php Find near line 68: {foreach from=$COLUMNS item=column}<option value="{$column.column}">{$column.title}</option>{/foreach} Change to: {foreach from=$COLUMNS item=column}<option value="{$column.column}"{if $map.example eq $column.title} selected="selected"{/if}>{$column.title}</option>{/foreach} Note we are looking now to compare example with title.

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

There is no "transferring over" CubeCart PHP code. An upgrade is "whole cloth". So, you now have a folder named /admin/ and a folder named /admin_hash/. I suggest you determine which folder has this latest update, rename the other one to something completely bogus, then rename the correct folder to the same name that is in the /includes/global.inc.php file. (Yes, I do understand that having implemented a derived name for the admin folder introduced a number of headaches.) Just to make sure, also force your browser to reload the admin page resources (javascript and css - new versions in CC6110 - and images.) This is usually done with CTRL-F5.

This message indicates that CubeCart (actually, PHP) lost communication with the database very soon after having established a channel. That could be because the database server is overloaded, or there are other sites on the same computer where your site is located that are consuming all the connections - 'max_connections_per_ip` was exceeded. Your hosting provider will be able to find the exact cause of why PHP could no longer communicate with the database.

Yes you can use V6 under the Open Source licence and upgrading is definitely recommended Ian

In store settings/advanced, enable debugging. Place a dummy order and check the debug log in the bottom of your browser to see if there are any errors being displayed. In the file root of your store create a file named ini-custom.inc.php and paste the following code inside. <?php # Custom initialization commands # Filename: ini-custom.inc.php # File location: main CubeCart folder ini_set('memory_limit', '256M'); ini_set('max_execution_time', '60'); ini_set('error_log', 'error_log'); ini_set('log_errors', 'on'); ?> try to place another dummy order, and then check error.log in the file root of your store.

It should be possible to use the descriptions as a place to designate as retail or wholesale, as well as the different product codes. That would add to the differences in the two products. You should be able to tell if Google fusses by checking the Webmaster Tools>your store>Search Appearance on the left column>HTML Improvements.

Not quite the answer you were looking for, but if you create a new zone, give it an abreviation like MTY (empty),and in the name field add about 4 blank spaces. You can save this as an empty county which also appears at the top of your county list so easy to find. I suppose a lazy customer could also use this though.

CubeCart_email_content is what you want from the database. It's not encrypted or obfuscated in any way. You should be able to copy to the Source code of each template.

Hi Niall I have updated the Microdata plugin so two versions are available (for PHP 5.6 and above and another for PHP 5.5 and below) but unfortunately due to some caching issues with the Marketplace (which I have reported to Al), these are not showing. If you would like to register as a client at our site and open a ticket, I can let you have the correct version that way Ian

I DO provide plural choices in the seo_meta_keywords search that Bsmither made for our needs. Customer never sees the conglomeration of terms, but it sure makes their search experience more productive.

If it's not too late, then I have exactly this feature. Daren at Semperfi wrote me a custom mod. Take a look at the 10mm option. https://www.beal.org.uk/electrical-products/copper-tube-terminals/copper-tube-terminals-6mm²-cable-size.html In the product options section (admin side) is an additional checkbox, to dictate if the product option is in stock or not. It's not quite working correctly on my 6.1.5 site, but I believe this to be a conflict with another mod. Daren is looking in to this.

In the file /classes/order.class.php Near line 483, find: case self::ORDER_DECLINED: // Nothing to do, but leave the option here for hooks & such break; case self::ORDER_FAILED: // Email the customer to explain their order failed fraud review $content = $mailer->loadContent('cart.payment_fraud', $order_summary['lang'], $this->_order_summary); break; case self::ORDER_CANCELLED: // Cancelled $content = $mailer->loadContent('cart.order_cancelled', $order_summary['lang'], $this->_order_summary); break; Change to: case self::ORDER_DECLINED: // Nothing to do, but leave the option here for hooks & such break; case self::ORDER_FAILED: // Email the customer to explain their order failed fraud review $this->assignOrderDetails(); $content = $mailer->loadContent('cart.payment_fraud', $order_summary['lang'], $this->_order_summary); break; case self::ORDER_CANCELLED: // Cancelled $this->assignOrderDetails(); $content = $mailer->loadContent('cart.order_cancelled', $order_summary['lang'], $this->_order_summary); break; The related email templates will need to have the macros added -- you can copy the contents from another template.

Please do not use any quantity designations in CubeCart. That is, do not add lb to 20lb. Do not add $ to $49.99. Do not add cm to 100cm (length not really used in CubeCart). Do not add % to 50%. Use only digits (and the optional period for the decimal point, if appropriate). The setting you make in Store Settings is carried over everywhere else (specifically weight and currency symbols).

When you download the Authorize.net package from the MarketPlace, it will be a ZIP file. Inside it will be a folder named 'Authorize'. Extract 'Authorize' to a convenient place on your computer. Rename 'Authorize' to 'Payeezy'. Make the edits. Then, FTP the 'Payeezy' folder to your site into the /modules/gateway/ folder. There is another edit in gateway.class.php: From: $transData['gateway'] = 'Authorize.net ('.strtoupper($this->_module['mode']).')'; To: $transData['gateway'] = 'Payeezy'; Be sure to re-read my previous posts as there have been some edits made to them.
