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 fixesDownload: CubeCart-6.4.6.zip

That will be the issue. It will need tokens in the URL's to manage the session.
-
This possibly means the store is running a mix of code from various versions or the admin skin is out of date. I'd suggest upgrading to the latest version manually or replacing the current version manually. When I say manually I mean uploading the files over the existing ones via FTP.
-
Yes this is absolutely possible but would require coding development time. How much time depends upon complexity and specification.
-
Download the extension, extract it and upload it to the modules/gateways folder. It will then be ready to configure in the manage extensions section of your store.

Anything in the request log?
It should work if you have cURL with SSL installed and ZipArchive apache modules.

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

Absolutely. This may help you find your way.. https://support.cubecart.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360003793978-How-do-I-create-a-custom-skin-or-template-
Have a look at stage 2 in particular.

We are currently evaluating our merchants appetite for an omnichannel solution so that your CubeCart powered store can sync in real time with a point of sale system and vice versa.
Please take a moment to complete the short survey at the URL below.

I'm guessing (but clarification required) that something somewhere within cubecart is looking for /var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php71
CubeCart wouldn't set that path. It would take the value set in the php.ini
-
This would be completely automated in real time so much better.

Fixed with 2.0.1. Thanks.

I just wanted to put feelers out concerning a Point Of Sale systems for CubeCart.
Would any merchants reading this be interested in a new POS system for CubeCart that synchronises product inventory between the two?
Do any merchants reading this have such a system already and if so can you let us know how your provider is and the scope of its functionality?
Any other feedback?
Thanks,
Al

So I think in conclusion the rich snippets work but took a little while to show in the search engine.

You should also take a look at our Retail Therapy skin which is a modern design and obviously responsive but has a big advantage in that it comes with a free skin configuration plug-in which allows you to configure a huge amount of things for the skin in an easy and intuitive way including colours
This is a great option too!!
-
Nice one. Concentrate on that for now.

Great job Dave and welcome to CubeCart!!
I believe @NiteFox is releasing his cool themes to us come 7th Feb. Worth waiting out for.

Did you upload the images first and update the file list. Only then can you import the spreadsheet otherwise the import won't find the image to assign.
Also make 100% sure the file path is relative to the images/source folder.
Say for example the image path is https://www.example.com/shop/images/source/folder/pic.jpg the value in the spreadsheet must be folder/pic.jpg . Anything else won't work.
-
Did you check the images/cache folder was writable? 0755, 0775 or 0777. Try changing the chmod value in that order recurring.

Thanks for the quick response, main suspect is the GD file as I had to downgrade the PHP to get the cart to install. I shell check both first thing in the morning, just seem very odd behaviour so thought I would ask. Having default "no image" images makes it a tad difficult to investigate. Liking the cart so far, not using it for anything fancy just a personal car boot sort of sale on my blog.
Downgraded PHP? CC will be fine so long as it's not PHP 8
-
Welcome!! Anything in your system error log? There is as link to this on the admin navigation menu. There may be a permissions issue or missing GD library...

The wording of the OP suggests that the web page's <meta description> is to contain some sort of the product's review data.
The image of Google's console, SERP Snippet tab, suggests all data has been manually entered (but, really, I have no knowledge of this console and cannot conclude this 100%).
We can use the Smarty code found in the template element.product.review_score.php template modified to fit the constraints of statements in the <head> section of the HTML document found in the template element.meta.php.
<meta name="description" content="{if isset($META_DESCRIPTION)}{$META_DESCRIPTION}{/if} {if $SECTION_NAME eq 'product'}{for $i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++}{if $PRODUCT.review_score gte $i}★{elseif $PRODUCT.review_score gt ($i - 1) && $PRODUCT.review_score lt $i}⯨{else}☆{/if}{/for}{/if}">We first make sure that a View Product page is showing. Then we use the logic to show full stars or empty stars, or a half-star for the product's review average rating.
It would be impractical to specify generic images in the <head> section (even though a product thumbnail image is specified for FBOG). So, we use HTML Entities. See:
https://www.htmlsymbols.xyz/star-symbolsThere is a means to use a HEX code for the half-star, but the having the browser render that character will likely fail.
There might be (or was) an extension to collect testimonials concerning a store, but otherwise, each product can have multiple reviews, each with its own rating.
Which actual review content is to be shown?
Is it that crude or do search engines take into account microdata? I'd hope the latter.
-
I asked Richard to post here as my knowledge in this area is poor. The website already has valid Schema Markup for products with review data.
I can't see any reason why Google can't show the rating on their listing but does anyone know much about the criteria for this to get it showing?
No doubt this is a fairly hot topic for all CC merchants.

Do you have 3rd party extensions that are encoded? I think that's the issue.
