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".

Did this transaction pass 3D secure? If so I believe it should be protected and you shouldn't be liable to chargeback fees. Our PayPal integration has much more granular settings. If you want to you can choose to only accept payments that pass 3D secure. With that setting enabled you are never liable to chargeback fees. The square extension could have this feature added.

Since upgrading to version 6.5.2 we have the following issue: For reference our shop is located at https://www.airbornesappers.org.uk/shop/index.php We do have products with a Sale price entered, which are less than retail and greater than zero In Store Settings - Features we have Sales Mode set to Per Product, with Number of sale items to display set to 20 I don't know if the upgrade to 6.5.2 has caused this, all I can say is that prior to the upgrade Sale Items were displayed in the Sale Items category I've searched other topics and checked as much as I know what to check but can't fix this error Any help appreciated Thank you

Please bring up the extension for viewing the settings in admin, Extensions, find Card Capture and click the Edit icon. On the next page shown, what does the Description field show?

You can check your "includes/global.inc.php" file it will have the link to the admin page in it, $glob['adminFile'] = 'admin_xxxxx.php';

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).

A Zone, for whatever purpose (i.e., having countries), but no shipping rates for that zone, will not have any rates to offer the customer to choose. Yes, the zone will match (Canada, for example), but there will be no rate available -- neither because, for any of the rates that could be supplied, none fit the conditions, nor because there are no rates at all. Thus (in later versions of AIOS), the module will try to match a rate's conditions listed in "Rest of World". So, short answer, a zone with no rates is as good as being disabled (suspended), and as good as having been deleted, and as good as not having been created at all. The point of the "Uncheck to Suspend" feature is to keep the zone with its list of rates intact, but to not use them.

Please make the following change: {literal} <!-- Google tag (gtag.js) --> ... all the javascript code ... </script> {/literal} That is, surround the supplied code with Smarty's "Take this literally!" command. Otherwise, Smarty will try to interpret anything between braces as commands for itself.

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.

CubeCart version 6.4.6 is now available. This is a maintenance release with full PHP 8 and 8.1 support. This release is backward compatible to earlier PHP versions so your hosting environment doesn't need PHP 8 or above to run it. What's New? - PHP 8 Support - Miscellaneous bug fixes Download: CubeCart-6.4.6.zip Download: CubeCart-6.4.7.zip

PHP 7.2 stopped even receiving critical security updates over 1 1/2 years ago so running any site on this version is 100% not advised. You would be much better contacting @Noodleman directly via his website and simply asking for a 7.4 encoded version of them and ensuring you stay on the latest supported version of PHP Ian

In a stock install of CC6, the list of images to play in the slider is part of the HomePage document. In admin, Documents, click the Edit icon of the document shown as having the HomePage button selected. You may have an easier time of it by using the editor's Source mode. The slider is optimized to show 1000x300 pixel images.

Hey, No, you'd go from the one above the version you have installed as any below it will already be done in the skin. So if you installed Amzin V1.02 then you'd only want V1.03 and above updates. If you go to yoursite > skins > amzin > docs > changelog.txt the top entry shows which version of amzin you had when you installed the skin. I'm guessing you have Amzin V1.02 installed so the only one i would say is necessary would be on V1.03 - #23 Prevent Add To Cart Cache Once your store is running CubeCart 6.4.1 then you'll need #16 to #21 (SEO EXT Support) to fix the login/register/search URLs The updates in the guide only cover skin edits to support core features, some of which cover new features added in CubeCart V6.4.1. So to use those features you'd need to upgrade your store to CubeCart V6.4.1 which is entirely separate from skin updates. Just doing skin updates won't update CubeCart's core.

Again in cubecart.style04.css, add this rule: .product_list li.product_list_item {background-color: #FFF;}

Please delete the unique key 'custom_oid' on the CubeCart_order_summary table. And replace it with a standard key or normal index. This was a bug in the beta.

While it is faster to upload the zip file and then extract after it has completed, you then need to add the additional steps of ensuring that (if you already have a renamed /admin_xxxxxx directory and admin_yyyyyy.php file), these need to be renamed as you will have a /admin directory and admin.php file from the zip extract and you will end up with multiple copies of both and mixed versions of files as so many on here have done. You also of course still need to run the /setup AFTER completing the rename Ian

CC620 has adopted the attitude that clearing the cache as often as all prior versions of CC5/6 was doing was incredibly aggressive. Now, the admin is to make all changes - adding inventory, creating categories, editing documents, etc, etc - then click the "Clear Cache" button (should now be lit) seen at the upper-right corner of the admin page. The cache holds SQL queries and their results to lessen the load on shared database servers. If you are not concerned about the load on the database while setting up your store, then in admin, Store Settings, Advanced tab, switch off Caching.

ok will give it a try thanks yes it is working thanks a lot uploaded the files as in the other discussion Grts Rob

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

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

Took me ages to change my signature as could not find it due to font colour being faint, Whats that all about.

I think the Consignee is the recipient of the delivery. So, what may be happening is that for the customer's order, during checkout, and before entering the delivery address info, CubeCart is contacting UPS for a rate request -- estimated at this point. Now, the latest versions of CubeCart has two options: suppress getting shipping estimates until the delivery address is known, or use the store's physical address as the estimated delivery address. The first is at admin, Store Settings, Features tab, "Disable initial shipping & tax estimates" is checked. The second is at admin, Store Settings, General tab, "Zip Code" (or Postal Code). Make sure there is a postal code in this field. Hopefully choosing either of these options will stop the confusing error message about no shipping methods available.

Super thank you

You could add a google search engine quite easily https://cse.google.com/cse/

Please try: In /classes/cubecart.class.php, near lines 2147-2151 (for CC618), find: $GLOBALS['smarty']->assign('REDIRECT_TO', $redir); $GLOBALS['smarty']->assign('URL', array( 'register' => $GLOBALS['seo']->buildURL('register'), 'recover' => $GLOBALS['seo']->buildURL('recover')) ); On the blank line after that, add: $meta_data=array('name'=>"Login",'path'=>null,'description'=>"Your Login Page",'keywords'=>"Login",'title'=>"Login",);$GLOBALS['seo']->set_meta_data($meta_data);

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

Click on "Air Systems" in the Category Name column. When the new page is displayed, you will see the sub-cats listed.

Sounds like the flag is on the USPS side. Look in the Admin Dashboard>Advanced>Request Log. Be sure to hide your USERID if you share any info from there.

He emailed it to me for me to test, because I wrote him to say it had a problem. He said several others had done the same thing. I see v4.0 is not on his website yet, however. Here's the contact link for Daren: http://www.semperfiwebservices.com/contact.html

@Noodleman @bsandall @havenswift-hosting - hopefully one of these will answer.

I've run into that same issue, and what I decided to do was to always include the product code in both the long and short descriptions so that product variants will at least not have completely identical descriptions. Now I'm no expert on SEO algorithms, but it doesn't seem to have hurt our store rankings; that may be because the other stores in our line of business have the same problem, or it may be that it is no longer penalized as heavily as it once was. I'm not the one to ask.

There is an open bug report on GitHub about this. For now, do not use traditional pagination.

My orders.print.php, like everything else about my install, if FAR from stock. But I think I see the issue. Copy the print.css section about page-break and add it to the #printLabel section. The one at the bottom is to break off customer notes to a second page. https://github.com/cubecart/v6/issues/1605

Perhaps this will be helpful: https://support.cubecart.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/227/41/how-can-i-install-cubecart-v6

Yup.

There are file difference software solutions that allow you to compare two versions and see what needs changing to merge your edits from stock from the old version to the new upgraded version. I use BeyondCompare, but there are many others. You can see exactly what CC changed in your old version and add that edit to 6.1.5. (Al stated today that 6.1.6 would be released after the Bank Holiday - not sure if that's today or what).

I've depended on Bsmither on the forum as long as I can remember. I hope he's enjoying his well deserved time away from us. I was hoping @havenswift-hosting or some other knowledgeable help would be along. I don't even understand your host's reply, let alone how to fix your issue.

A proper solution would be more involved than the following (a proper list item on the Transaction Logs tab, for example), but here is an edit that puts a field on the Billing tab - which I think is more appropriate than Delivery. In the admin template orders.index.php, find near line 264: <fieldset> <legend>{$LANG.account.contact_details}</legend> On a new blabnk line ABOVE that, add: <fieldset> <legend>{$LANG.orders.gateway_name}</legend> <div><label for="sum_gateway">{$LANG.email.macro_gateway}</label><span><input type="text" id="sum_gateway" name="summary[gateway]" value="{$SUMMARY.gateway}" class="textbox"></span></div> </fieldset>

It took 24 hours for THEIR emails to us to arrive a couple of days ago. Something's not normal over there.

Rather than commenting the sections out with smarty tags, I removed them (made a backup 1st), and this seems to work.
