PayPal is an Alternate Checkout which is a second option to native checkout. You'd need to customise the code to do this but beware that the "Secure Checkout" button text changes to "Make Payment" later so you can't just remove it. You could use JS to hide it if the text doesn't match "Make Payment" but it's a bit of a fudgy solution.

I have to say this is working very well: https://github.com/cubecart/v6/issues/1488 It works out the memory needed to resize the image. If its more than available it tries to increase the memory. It it can, great it does and resizes. If it can't it will abort and always return the source image with a warning to the user to optimise the source image. The only bad thing is that it will only work for JPEG.

I wondered about hosting an intermediate server to take big images, resize them and allow CubeCart to then copy back the resized image.

This is the most common problem with CubeCart. Please only upload web optimizes images and all should be ok. Max 900px/350kb in size and all should be fine.

It is but quite a few websites do it.

I'm sure that is the case.

I'm not sure you can. Possibly on some browsers. You could use a split button with custom CSS http://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/v/5.5.3/components/kitchen_sink.html

All will be fine.

You can run 6.1.4 on PHP 5.2 temporarily if you replace the classes/config.class.php file from 6.0.12 and then remove these lines of code: https://github.com/cubecart/v6/blob/master/ini.inc.php#L14-L16 Once happy you can put the PHP version to 5.6 or higher and replace the classes/config.class.php file from the most recent CubeCart version. Since the release of 6.1.0 we have seen a significant downturn in new CubeCart stores. It seems so many web hosting companies won't move above PHP 5.3 due to "register globals" being defunct. Register Globals was the worst thing to ever happen to PHP in my opinion.

Not without a provider. e.g. https://www.cubecart.com/extensions/plugins/postcode-anywhere

It will never happen because the vast majority of our merchants have generic shared web hosting which will never be compatible with ElasticSearch. We could integrate it but only for merchants who have there own dedicated server or VPS and are happy configuring ElasticSearch. Sadly this just doesn't fit our demographic and the development time required to implement this isn't worth while.

It makes a very small income which in turn helps development of your shop.

There is a bug in 6.1.1 which breaks the auto upgrade method. This was due to a change in the upgrade notifications that didn't get carried over the to maintenance tool. It was an oversight during development of the extensions update notifications. You'll need to replace the admin/sources/maintenance.inc.php file from ant recent version and then try to upgrade again or perform a manual upgrade.

Thanks both. From my testing all changes work work. I do recall seeing this issue on build.

I expect you are either uploading the files to the wrong place or the existing files are not getting overwritten. We have upgrade services if you are interested. I've upgraded about three stores this morning manually to 6.1.4 with success. Please have a good read of the manual upgrade instructions. https://support.cubecart.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/228/43/how-do-i-upgrade-from-cubecart-v6-to-latest-v6 Hope you get it done ok.

Good. I wish more did!

A security directory traversal vulnerability has been discovered in all version of CubeCart version 6. CubeCart version 6.1.4 has been release which patches this. We recommend that all merchants upgrade to 6.1.4 or patch their store as soon as possible. Manual Patch: https://github.com/cubecart/v6/commit/8f1ec4e87c58e60e7fd865eabc6a1ab2b721729c Download: CubeCart-6.1.4.zip We would like to pass on our warm thanks to all the staff at Japan Computer Emergency Response Team (JPCERT) Coordination Center for discovering this issue and for handling it so professionally.

Welcome. As a result of this.. https://github.com/cubecart/v6/issues/1461

Honestly I'm not lying. You need PHP 5.4 or higher.

It's because your hosting doesn't meet the requirements. https://www.cubecart.com/hosting-requirements

You can test it by installing an old version of any extension. The dash will then show a new version available. There is an ignore option. If ignore it clicked I believe is another new version comes available the notification will come back.

I was thinking the same. phpMyAdmin will export large databases in a normal hosting account with typical resource limitation. Good place to look....

Possibly. The security suite recommends disabling dangerous functions like shell_exec.

Ok cool. Building this tool with low PHP resource limits isn't easy. Let's hope we can perfect it. Tools like phpmyadmin manage. Thanks Brian

The old method was less reliable. I tested the new tool with a 600mb database. The test was positive and restore was positive too. I'll take a look at your findings. Thank you.
