Exactly. The EU cookie compliance regulations were the same panic.
I've been busy trying to make CubeCart compatible for you guys.. I've not even looked at CubeCart Limited yet! We have no mailing list though which makes it easier.
BTW 6.2.1 is coming. FUN!!!!!
-
No worries is confusing and complex.
-
Yes. A number of issues such as no double opt in and GPDR report tools. We are in the process of improving things further.
It's a big fat ball ache for everyone but such a good thing. Hope to have 6.2.1 available next week.

by the way,does the language packs in the extensions still support cubecart 6.2.0 ?
Any missing phrases will show in English.

Please read the release notes:

Just FYI I have reverted the forums to use the default look and feel after bugs since the last update. I have also turned done the amount of adverts it shows as it was a bit over the top.
If anyone finds any problems please let me know but with default theme it should run smoother.

reCaptcha V2 isn't available in CubeCart version 5.

It's annoying and I'm sorry but the auto upgrade tool has had bugs and compatibility issues with some hosting environments. If you get errors as you did then it hasn't worked.
In those circumstances you must upgrade manually as advised.

I hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread with regards to 6.2 Installation problems. But
I did an update via ftp from 6.1.14 to 6.2 myself this morning with standard foundation skin, had green lights all the way through setup and installation, upon logging logging in to admin with new details, though nothing seems to have changed, checked that store overview said 6.2, it did.
Open store up to view and noticed home screen banners displayed all 4 images down the screen and not sliding effect, other error was top right basket link never worked and also on all product pages, the specification tab info was displaying information underneath product description, so the tab button not working as it should.Got a panic on and managed to ftp 6.1.15 on instead, everything looks back to normal as in it seems to be working ok
Just checked upgrade logs: not sure if this was from 6.1.15 errors.
admin_****/skins/default/templates/products.coupons.php - Content after extract don't match source
admin_*****/skins/default/templates/main.php - Content after extract don't match source
admin_*****/skins/default/templates/settings.geo.php - Content after extract don't match source
admin_*****/skins/default/templates/customers.gdpr.php - Missing but expected after extract
Couple of system errors now as well.Today, 13:06 [Notice] /home/*****/public_html/admin_*****/sources/settings.index.inc.php:130 - Undefined index: path
Today, 13:06 [Notice] /home/*****/public_html/classes/ssl.class.php:38 - Undefined index: _g
Today, 13:05 [Notice] /home/*****/public_html/admin_*****/sources/dashboard.index.inc.php:380 - Undefined variable: smarty_data
Check/Uncheck all With Selected:
Will stick with 6.1.15 for now and see how things run over the next day or two.What a mess. You can't just upload 6.1.15 after upgrading to 6.2.0. I'd suggest restoring a backup (database & files) prior to any work you have done to day then follow the manual upgrade instructions.

Bad plan. Your store is now at a mix of 6.2 and 6.1.15 you must restore a backup.

It hasn't fixed it permanently. Proper fix coming shortly.....
Here is the patch: https://github.com/cubecart/v6/commit/876811618abb89e3e0d7f5f2af7c488ef242db6a
Alternatively just replace the classes/user.class.php file.
-
Did you rename the admin folder and file before uploading as per the instructions? If you just uploaded the files as they are from the extracted zip file then the active files won't have been overwritten.
-
Which new functions are you referring to?
-
In 1.0.0 there is a bug (in very specific circumstances) in the file modules/plugins/SFWS_Google_Badge/hooks/class.gui.body_js.php
Find:
require_once('modules'.CC_DS.'plugins'.CC_DS.'SFWS_Google_Badge'.CC_DS.'class.google_badge.php');
require_once('modules'.CC_DS.'plugins'.CC_DS.'SFWS_Google_Badge'.CC_DS.'class.google_badge.php');
Replace with:
require_once(CC_ROOT_DIR.CC_DS.'modules'.CC_DS.'plugins'.CC_DS.'SFWS_Google_Badge'.CC_DS.'class.google_badge.php');

Ok I haven't been able to reproduce this but it may well be cache related. We can removed caching from these queries which should fix this.
Hopefully have a fix by this afternoon.
-
Latest version? 5.1.6 or 6.2.0?
I tried this on my development store and it worked ok (with caching turned on). Can you check that you;
- uploaded all the files over your existing ones.
- ran the setup process.
If you still have the issue can you tell us what cache method you have enabled? file/memcache/APC/redis etc..

You should still get an SSL certificate for secure padlocked pages. If your web hosting company are not greedy opportunists it should be free.

Stripe seems to meet all my needs given that it simply takes credit card credentials, while CubeCart handles the address details. My only concern is that Stripe might not be as secured given the credentials are entered on the CubeCart page, as opposed to opening a separate payment page like PayPal. Do you think this is the way to go?
They are not entered on your page. That's the beauty of Stripe. They look like they are but if you look at the source code you'll see they are not self hosted input fields. On those grounds its just as secure.

Thanks Al,
I'm still a little bit confused. Paypal Express unfortunately takes the delivery address from cubecart and makes it the billing address, and defaults to "ship to my residential address" which I would prefer it not to do. My main concern is that addresses are going to be confused, given that paypal is taking the wrong addresses, and could alter the cubecart saved addresses to something else (such as the customer's personal address). Ideally I would like either the cubecart site or paypal express to handle addresses, but not both.
Another issue is that under choose payment method, there is no radio box for paypal, until I click through on secure checkout to choose a payment provider. There is also a paypal checkout link on the page, but would it be possible to remove the secure checkout option so the page is cleaner?
I'll have to make some tests around addresses when I can. The PayPal integration is certified by PayPal UK. They asked us to remove the PayPal payment method from the list.
If you want it to show the PayPal "mark" then you can edit the modules/plugins/PayPal_Pro/hooks/class.cubecart.display_gateways.php file. Remove the conditions like;
if(!in_array($_GET['_a'], array('basket', 'checkout', 'confirm'))) {

6.2 has the ability to make state optional or disabled which will improve the checkout experience for Express Checkout.
I'd suggest using Express Checkout instead of PayPal Standard. Please note that PayPal Express Checkout will not return a billing address unless they have specifically enabled this on your account. This is not a coding fault in CubeCart. I have spoken to the guys at PayPal about this some months ago.

* These features will require skin updates if you do not use the default "Foundation" skin from the 6.2 release.
This release has a clear cache on demand tool which significantly optimises the caching system and lowers server load. This means that inventory or configuration changes made in the admin control panel will not be reflected on the front end of the store until the "Clear Cache" button is clicked. This can be found at the top right hand side of every page of the admin control panel. We very much appreciate that this may be seen as an unwelcome new feature but the technical significance is worthy. Unless you have a critical change to make we suggest clearing the cache habitually at the end of each admin session. If the cache is not cleared it may take up to 24 hours for your changes to show.
To help comply with GDPR CubeCart 6.2 now has "double opt-in" for email marketing signup and a tool to create a report of all customer data based on an email address. This can be found in the "Customer" section of the admin control panel under the "GDPR Report" tab. A customer can be "forgotten" by deleting their account, newsletter subscription, review(s) and any orders they may have placed. Please note that it may be a legal obligation to keep their order data on file if you have an existing financial contract. The GDPR report can be disclosed to your customer printed or saved as a PDF and/or used to help remove their data from the system. To be GDPR compliant please be sure to have a suitable privacy policy which should contain other such information such as what each site cookie does. Further information and support may be available from your local "Information Commissioner" such as the ICO (in the UK).
GDPR is still a very confused and misunderstood subject of which there is no one solution for every business. We will prioritise further development to help compliance based on your feedback if merchants feel they still need extra tools.

The same rules will apply. I'd recommend seeking assistance from your local data protection officer or lawyers.
I expect the government have a department specifically for this. In the UK it's called ICO.

Every business is different and we are not able to make a one fit solution for all. There are some tools to help with GDPR coming out in 6.2 but you'll need to look at your business as a whole. The ICO in the UK is the best resource for UK organisations.

We now have the first released candidate for CubeCart 6.2.0. Please refer to the original announcement for more detailed information about 6.2.
Many thanks to all those who have tested the 6.2 branch of CubeCart and reported any issues. Unless any serious bugs are found in RC1 then 6.2.0 final will be available on Tuesday 24th April.
