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.

Dear Customers / CubeCart Community, It is with regret that after 3 years of providing content for CubeCart i intend to discontinue my skins and support. As per agreement i am issuing a 30 Day Notice period which will expire on 07/02/2022 (Existing customers have also been notified via email). After this date support/updates for my skins will no longer be provided by myself. I have spoken with Al and decided to donate the skins to CubeCart for free so that they don't go to waste (for which i am greatful to Al for accepting). It is my understanding that the skins will be released for free under CubeCart who will be the new owner/maintainer of the skins. This isn't the news i wanted to start the new year on and understand this may cause some concern and disappointment but i need to ultilize my time for work and my personal life and web development no longer fits in with this. What does this mean for your site? Your site will remain to function as normal and you are free to continue to use any skin you have purchased from me for as long as you require. In the event your purchased skin becomes incompatible with CubeCart in the future it will be your responsibility to make any changes or seek a 3rd party to assist. Alternatively, switch to the re-release version once released by the CubeCart team. Where can i download the latest version of my skin before the deadline? To avoid new customers from purchasing any skins i have had to unpublish them from the marketplace, please send me a PM or Email and i'll provide details how to obtain the last version released. (Please note - Only default versions of skins will be issued, please allow upto 24 hours for any requests to fulfilled .) Any questions or concerns please feel free to reply below, send me a PM or email, Best regards,

Thanks for all the help with me developing and changing my skin, your help was always friendly and responsive. I've also downloaded the manual updates and would suggest anyone else to do so if you have a Nitefox's default skin but then gone on to modify it. (Just incase you ever need to reinstall at a later date). Wishing you well in all you do.

Feeling very humble. Thank you on multiple levels. Other skins and extensions have just vanished so I'm hugely grateful firstly for dealing with this so professionally and responsibly. Secondly thanks for such a wonderful contribution to the open source community. I know for sure I can pass on my utmost respect and gratefulness from a significant proportion of CubeCart merchants that may not outwardly share it. I'd personally like to wish you all the very best with you new career move in the charity sector. I hope we can keep in touch.

Using a text viewer, examine the contents of /includes/global.inc.php. The file will indicate the name of the administrative PHP script and the administrative folder name that CubeCart expects to use. Be sure those names appear in CubeCart's main folder.

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.

In order to add custom condition words, we need to make a few core code edits, then we can use a Code Snippet to actually add the custom words. I will have instructions soon.

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".

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?

Even though CC651 says it will run under PHP7.1+ (that statement is a bug), we very much recommend running PHP7.4, and highly recommend PHP8.1. That "unexpected =" error is from the new (as of PHP7.4) 'null coalescing assignment' operator. https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration74.new-features.php#migration74.new-features.core.null-coalescing-assignment-operator

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).

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

Attached is a follow-on report for more edits needed to make CC645 run under PHP 8.1 - attempting to eliminate (at least minimize) the numerous error messages that PHP logs. Some of these edits assume that the edits and file replacements found in the prior report have already been made. PHP8.1_Changes2.txt.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

PHP hasn't been updated? The mysqlnd, if I am correct, is the PHP extension that talks to MySQL. So, did the actual MySQL database server get updated? You may need to get your hosting provider to work on this. See: https://www.cadence-labs.com/2017/08/wordpress-magento-mysql-php-fix-server-requested-authentication-method-unknown-client/ https://www.eschrade.com/page/the-server-requested-authentication-method-unknown-to-the-client-mysql_old_password/ https://serverfault.com/questions/295285/mysql-cannot-connect-via-localhost-only-127-0-0-1/297310#297310

Determine if the following statement already exists in the templates 'main.php' and 'main.checkout.php': <link href="{$ROOT_PATH}favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon"> If it is not there, add it just before the </head> tag. Next, acquire a square image you want to use. Upload it to a free online ICO file maker, such as: https://www.icoconverter.com/ Place the .ico file in CubeCart's main folder.

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.

@radman420 by data issue i mean that it would appear no data (in this case Products) is been supplied to the $POPULAR variable which is used to load the popular products section. Since it appears to happen in both the Foundation and Amzin skin that would suggest that it isn't caused by the skins. All i can suggest is pop a message in Technical Help section as this is beyond a skin issue. Perhaps something went wrong during the CubeCart Update or a setting has changed. I'm running 6.4.1 with Amzin and Foundation and the popular box is loading fine so i'm not sure whats causing yours to not load since you updated.

You can do if you're comfortable with it and familiar with github. You'd need to look over at cubecarts github and see what issues have been resolved and look at the code changes needed. Editing the core script can get messy if you lose track of what you're doing. Far more simpler to just update the normal way unless your site is running a modified version of cubecart and you don't want to lose those edits (not including 3rd party skins as those are unaffected by core updates).

Welcome Welshy! Glad to see you made it to the forums. The MarketPlace isn't a CubeCart store (at least, I don't think it is), so there isn't much other CubeCart users can help with this. I think contacting CubeCart HQ directly will be the quickest way to let them know of your difficulties. https://www.cubecart.com/contact

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

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

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

I'd chose CloudLinux with cPanel. Or CentOS with cPanel to save cash. @bsmither would say Windows. Either is ok really but CubeCart is more geared to Linux and I hate Windows personally.

I see extra lines in 2.cubecart.js: Lines 542-545: if(Foundation.utils.is_medium_up()) { $('.product_list').removeClass('small-block-grid-1'); $('.product_list').addClass('small-block-grid-3'); } Change to: if(Foundation.utils.is_medium_up()) { $('.product_list').addClass('medium-block-grid-3'); } Near lines 567-568: $('.product_list').removeClass('small-block-grid-3'); $('.product_list').addClass('small-block-grid-1'); Change to: $('.product_list').removeClass('medium-block-grid-3');

When a customer registers for an account, that registrant could instantly be assigned to a customer group. The group would have been created before-hand, and some or all products would have had a price schedule created for them. There is no percentage difference between one group and any other group (yet). Each group has a distinct and independent price schedule. Still, I reiterate, once a customer registers, even at checkout, but then resumes shopping, the group's price schedule is shown everywhere to that customer. Is this acceptable according to the contract you have with the product supplier? However, I know that someone (Noodleman?) is or has been working on something related. There is a new parameter in the function that gets an item's price, that when true, will return the full retail price regardless of any other consideration. If it was Noodleman who asked for this to be added to the core code, you should drop him a note to ask if he has anything on the shelf ready to install.

If you now know what the current username and password is, then edit the file /includes/global.inc.php to have that new information.

I am working on a solution to do exactly that.

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

I found it! was in navigation.ss and .top-bar-section! I am so rusty on this kind of work! Thanks for the help

That's why I was trying to do this in small steps.

I've seen the second warning. I don't think that one is meaningful, but the first one sounds important. I don't know how to help with this. You can pay a month's support and get Cubecart support to fix this or wait for somebody with the skills to fix it here in the forum.

There is a bug in the foundation skin that prevents the 'More' button from being hidden - see this PR for how to fix it. 'hide-for-small-up' means that the element will be hidden for all window sizes of small or larger. However, as you noted, this means it will not display for mobile, which defeats the purpose - you should indeed change it to 'hide-for-medium-up' or your mobile users will not have any way to paginate. One other thing - this line: <div class="hide-for-medium-up" id="ccScrollCat">{$category.cat_id} The {$category.cat_id} should be removed or you will have a seemingly random (to the customer) number show up just above the 'More' button. Removing this does not appear to have any effect on the button's functionality.

Sorry.. I'm flat out doing 55 things at once. Leave it false for now.

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

One thing I did notice on your store is you don't have a favicon that represents your store in the browser tab. It's still using the CC favicon. That's a minor thing and has nothing at all to do with your meta problem.

Since CC is a UK company, I just wanted to express my sympathy over the terrorist activity today. Praying for those directly affected and their families.

What you see in the skin code is so that, after plugins use hooks in the /classes/ code to add their results, there is now the means of displaying this additional data if any exists. The hooks and plugins do not assign any data directly into $DOCUMENTS_LIST_HOOKS (technically, they can, but that's bad programming), but rather indirectly through the hook that listens for plugin code. There is nothing bad that will happen if your skin has that code and $DOCUMENTS_LIST_HOOKS is empty. But if not empty, and the code isn't there, you will be missing out on what the plugin is providing.

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>

I haven't made a change in mine, either. It's been so long I don't even know how I knew what to put there

We have had reports from some clients about this happening and seems to be affecting some clients only and not others, even those on the same server and this is across multiple different servers as well - Ihave also heard from other store owners that aren't hosted with us about similar problems starting 1 1/2 to 2 days ago indicating that it is a PayPal issue. Dont ever believe PayPal when they say there are no problems, they very often have problems and deny all knowledge - they had massive DNS routine issues just before Xmas which were confirmed by independent testing tools and yet they claimed all systems were working perfectly. I don't do PayPal at all as dislike them (although understand for many store owners that they are easy to setup and use) and so don't have direct experience but user should check your IPN settings in your PayPal account (we have had at last two users where IPN appears to have switched off) and then also look at IPN transactions and the following URL is provided on the CubeCart support website https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/ipn/integration-guide/IPNOperations/ Ian

We occasionally have ebay sellers who link back from ebay to our web site images. I do have a bit of fun with this by renaming the original image and then uploading our company logo to the image name that they've linked back to. Or changing it to something entirely random, like a picture of a blob fish.

The error mentioned in the non-delivery report says: "The IP address you are sending from has been temporarily rate limited because it is not Whitelisted, unexpected increase in volume, or poor IP reputation." Meaning (and this is typical for domains such as Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail), these domains have seen an increase of emails from this IP range (that includes the IP address of the server where your site is located) that cannot be explained for reasons other than being intentionally bombarded with junk. In other words, it is not the case that the destination emails do not exist. It is that AOL has flagged DreamHost as as being the source of out-of-bounds amounts of emails. It is temporary.

Hi, I was just wondering if Cubecart is compatible with Apple's iPad and iPhone? I've had several customers tell me that they can not place orders using these devices... I also had a lady tell me that she couldn't email me using her iPhone either (it bounced back)...hmmm Thanks.
