    Please help, need to eliminate all Google Fonts in Template

    There really are some pieces of work in this world. I'd ignore him but review the privacy policy and stores operation.

    As far as I can see a default store with Foundation skin won't load any Google URL's until the cookies have been accepted.

    https://github.com/cubecart/v6/blob/v6.4-master/skins/foundation/templates/element.google_analytics.php 

    Just wrap the condition in line 1 around the scripts.

    Cannot logout of admin

    This possibly means the store is running a mix of code from various versions or the admin skin is out of date.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.

    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

    CubeCart with POS - Synchronised Inventory

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    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,

    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}&starf;{elseif $PRODUCT.review_score gt ($i - 1) && $PRODUCT.review_score lt $i}&#11240;{else}&star;{/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-symbols

    There 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.

    https://validator.schema.org/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.extremeracing.co.uk%2Fsummer-one-piece-base-layer.html 

    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.
