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.

Contacted now - thanks

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".

I'll note here that my store is set to reduce stock on processing, but I've had customers with this same problem even before PayPal Commerce.

Is it possible to show random products in the sidebar, instead of featured products? Or perhaps to show random products instead of latest products on the homepage? Thank you very much for your time!

I tried uploading a sscreenshot but server rejects it, error code 200. Instead: Product with webp image: https://cavalier-gift-shop.org/magic-puppy-valentine-s-card.html (fails) Product with a jpeg (any other product): https://cavalier-gift-shop.org/best-cavalier-mum-mug.html (all ok)

I am going to ignore the lines that appear to come from an SSL Cert manager. I just wanted to make sure there is an appropriate RewriteBase directive. It will be interesting as to what would be found in the web access logs.

During the running of 'setup', CubeCart makes some tests: certain folders must exist and be writable, and key PHP extensions must be initialized. For CubeCart 6.5+, PHP 7.4+ (8.2 recommended but will probably be required for CC652+), the extensions include: MySQLi, GD Image library, Simple XML parser, cURL, ZipArchive, and the MultiByte String library. The test during setup is reported as a list of Pass/Fail line items on the second page shown. Setup will not proceed to the third page if any item shows as failed. CubeCart continuously checks to make sure the version of PHP is compatible, so should PHP change versions (7.4 downgrade to 7.3, for example), CubeCart will make complaints. However, CubeCart does not do continuous compliance checks for the presence of required extensions.

Yes. That data item is found in {$PRODUCT.use_stock_level}. The code sequence: {if $PRODUCT.use_stock_level}Extra language{/if} will need to be in template code (as opposed to the "Description" content of the product's data).

On my development system, I am trying Amzin 1.05 on CC647 running under PHP8.1. (Found a bug in a template.) But the links appear correct. I have not yet installed CC649. But analyzing code differences between CC647 and CC649 shows no likely source of this situation.

The package of files that has been offered to replace a few existing troublesome files did have a change in the one file (ini.inc.php) that declares the version (now 6.4.9). Replacing these troublesome files does not require that setup be run again. This package contains no changes to be made to the database or the database contents. Hence, normally, setup makes an entry in the database table CubeCart_history with the version "processed" and the timestamp when it happened. But simply replacing these troublesome files did not also make the appropriate entry in the CubeCart_history table. Using an external database utility, view CubeCart_history and change the value "6.4.8" to "6.4.9".

Please try this edit: In /classes/language.class.php, line 106: From: if(ADMIN_CP == false && isset($d[$url['host']]) && !empty($d[$url['host']])) { To: if( (!defined('ADMIN_CP') || ADMIN_CP == false) && isset($d[$url['host']]) && !empty($d[$url['host']])) {

My solution was to remove the registration page link from my skin and form fields within the registration page. I only have the the option to create an account on the checkout, therefore users and spammers will need to place an order to create an account, genuine users will do so but the spammers wont proceed. Has worked well for me for 2 years, no fake accounts created. I believe they create fake accounts so your shop sends registration emails or password resets to their targets & used to spam people and will give your store/email a bad reputation, some users may report these emails as spam and accounts like google mail will auto junk any future mail you send or your report your site to your hosting provider for sending spam.

Yes, as well as all logs.

Configuring Mod Security is a server administrator's responsibility. As best I know, Mod Security is configurable on a per site basis. Therefore, it may be the case that your other website may (or may not) have Mod Security installed, and/or configured differently. We would encourage you to contact your hosting provider for assistance.

Decided to persist with getting the wamp server to work in a ssl mode, so I could use PayPal commerce working offline with CubeCart. Well it has gone 10pm now and after looking at lots of variations on other sites and lots of trial and error, I have FINALLY got the PayPal Commerce extension working fully in wamp, meaning I can develop my sites offline and upload to live servers when completed... Yay.!!! This is the difference with working with outfits like CubeCart, you get help rather than sarcasm and assistance rather than bitter critique. Forwards and onwards..... Thanks Al

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

@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 !

The debug section can be quite lengthy. Your browser has the ability to Find things in the web page. Usually by the keyboard combo CTRL-f. In the small bar that opens (maybe at the bottom of the browser window) enter one of the terms I mentioned above. If not found, find for the other term. Do NOT copy/paste the entire debug section into a forum post.

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.

Thanks @bsmither for helping out while i catch some Joys of timezones.

In the template main.php: Find: <body> Change to: <body background="https://mybikerleather.com/Banner.jpg"> or <body style="background-image:url('https://mybikerleather.com/Banner.jpg');background-repeat:no-repeat;"> Do the same for the template main.checkout.php.

We don't have a partnership with Adyen but it's not required. They have exceptional documentation and the integration has been tested under their sandbox. Please do let us know how you get on. Where are you referring to when you say no documents on the CubeCart page? We will reach out to Adyen to see if we can get our integration certified.

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.

hello, sorry if I'm not in the right section, but I can not write in the plugin discussion section about the plugin store collection, here is an improvement that would be interesting to add. when the customer decides to make an on-site pick-up, a schedule should be proposed so that the picker chooses a date on which he will pick up his goods Thank you

No Problem if it can be resolved this easy. Thank you for creating this great and easy to use product.

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>

If you make the change I listed, you can add as many as you like, works fine for me.

I lied, I figured it out. In /foundation/templates/main.php <div class="row"> <div class="small-12 columns small-collapse"> {include file='templates/box.navigation.php'} <div class="hide" id="val_lang_back">{$LANG.common.back}</div> </div> </div> Make it <div class="row row-mod"> <div class="small-12 columns small-collapse"> {include file='templates/box.navigation.php'} <div class="hide" id="val_lang_back">{$LANG.common.back}</div> </div> </div> then go to foundation/css/foundation.css and add .row-mod { max-width: none !important; }

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

Somewhere, you have this: $('.bxslider').bxSlider({auto:true,captions:true}); Change to: $('.bxslider').bxSlider({autoStart:false,auto:false,captions:true});

Welcome kwickcut! Glad to see you made it to the forums. CubeCart uses the PHPMailer library (https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer) for all email transportation. PHPMailer is told to use SMTP, or to use PHP's mail() functions that relate to the connection to whatever service is defined in the PHP.INI file, which generally is a server on localhost. So, when you say 'phpmail', do you mean PHP's mail() family of functions, or the PHPMailer library? If in admin, Store Settings, Advanced tab, Sending Method is PHP 's mail() functions, then you do not enter anything relating to SMTP details, as the connection details to postfix (or whatever) should already be in the PHP.INI file.

Yeah, that does the trick, thanks, as always bsmither you are a font of problem solving. On using it more, it's doing some weird things, but it's workable, for some reason it keeps hard forcing a linebreak like a <br> but not visable anywhere. I looked for solutions on ckeditor forums, but they seem to really break it hard and it just spams every blank space with the <i class

The module allows for a "handling cost". This is understood to be what it costs you in your manpower costs for the price of the box and the time it takes to pack the box and get it to the UPS store.

Sooo...., if the site administrator has implemented this anti-scrape mechanism, then AJAX exchanges of data may fail if the AJAX package does not send the correct cookie - or may actually fail even with all the correct cookies. I have no experience in this scenario. The template parser (Smarty) does not execute any code other than its own Smarty code. Having PHP code in a template is exactly the same as having any other text. It is just plain text and that plain text will be in the final output that Smarty creates. Also, any code that looks like Smarty code but is not Smarty code in a template could cause PHP to crash. For example: <?php echo "Hello {smiley} World" ?> will cause Smarty to quit parsing the template and stop PHP with a Fatal Error. Please know that you must not think the templates are PHP code scripts just because the filenames end in .php. (The templates can be named anything, and I do not know why the programmers chose '.php' as the filename suffix for the skin templates.)

There are no security patches so upgrade isn't vital.

I don't know the professional way to do this, but I take a screen grab, import this in the photoshop. The using the colour picker tool, obtain the hex code for the colour I wish to change, then start searching the css files for that hex code. That pink for instance is probably ffc0cb It's crude and cumbersome but works.

Is this something you want to add above all gateway choices, or each one separately? For above all try this in content.checkout.php: <ul class="no-bullet center" id="gateway_error"> <h3>Above All</h3> {foreach from=$GATEWAYS item=gateway} If it's something separate you want, it would have to be in the plugin code somewhere.

Card payments on site and not IPN dependant for status.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this. I had an unexpected result last night, so wanted to start fresh after reboot this morning. But I'm seeing the same thing today. I'm on 6.1.7 code on my test site. I now can NOT get the invisible captcha to pass me through without requiring solving the captcha. I've tried it several times, including on the CC demo store. Since the solution is showing up BEFORE I have a chance to fill out any information - it doesn't seem to have anything to do with whether or not I choose to register. So, I finished the recaptcha and I then chose to not register. As you had found - checkout button did not work. But I refreshed the page - got the CRSF warning, went back to cart and could proceed to PayPal properly. I'll clear everything out and try again. UGH - Cleared browser, ran maintenance clear again, and tested again with new customer info. STILL had to solve captcha, but THIS time the checkout button worked properly!

after reading this thread i can confirm its the same for me, tested on ff as a guest when i select secure payment it doesn't proceed, if i log in its fine. i am using/testing the invisible recaptcha recommended with site & secret key

Yes this is coming with 6.1.6 but skin edits will be required.

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'.$specific_properties['table']." AS ".$specific_properties['alias'] .' ON '.$specific_properties['on']['master'].' = '.$specific_properties['alias'].'.'.$specific_properties['on']['slave'] ,$GLOBALS['config']->get('config', 'dbprefix') ); $where[] = $specific_properties['alias'].".".$property." LIKE ".$GLOBALS['db']->sqlSafe("%".$search_data[$specific_properties['alias']][$property]."%",true); // example, searching for "%Riley%" anywhere in the name; } } Now, this gives you a specific URL you can use to initiate a search. 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.

You will need to change the permission on your global.inc.php file to 744 in order to be able to change the naming to what you want (DO NOT GO BACK TO PLAIN ADMIN). After you have saved your file with your naming, change the permission back to 444. Also, when you have all the naming for the admin_XXX folder and file set to what you want - be sure there is not an additional old folder hanging around named admin or a file named admin.php. (Not everyone is getting these leftover file/folders messes) They need to be deleted ONCE YOU ARE SURE you can login to the Dashboard with YOUR renamed admin_XXX.php.
