  1. I've just had a quick look in Veiwcat.tpl, it will be tonight when I get home before I can make any changes. I'd have to do it on my test system 1st. What changes would I need to make to the html.. nothing obvious jumps out at me. Thanks again
  2. Guys. My site went live last week.. thanks for all your help. I've now been handed another one to bring up to tidy up and bring up to scratch.. it seems I'm now the company cubecart expert .. lol My question, when entering a master catagory, you are presented with a folder view of the sub catagories. Is it possible to change this to a list view. Thanks
  3. I have the same problem with the channel islands, no one came back with an answer. Luckily for me, I only needed to tax zones.. one for the UK at 15% and one for the channel Islands at 0% Maybe you might want to see if there are any commercial mods available. They tend to be very reasonably priced at about $20, it's whether or not you can find one to solve your problem .
  4. Guys & Gals.. Quite a long replay to my own message, but someone might understand what I'm getting at. The site went live this weekend, so until I can find a definitive answer, I've done a small work around. As we don't indend shipping outside the UK. I removed all the other countries from the database. It keeps it tidy at my end, and easier to manage. I then created a new county code for the channel Islands. So Now when a customer comes to sign up, they have United Kingdom and Channel Islands only in the drop down box. Next.. In the Language file.. I modified the phrase Country = "country" to say Country = "UK or Channel Islands" Now when a customer signs up, he will be charged VAT if he's mainland UK, and no vat if he's Channel Islands. Ok, so it's messy, but it works. Does anyone know, how I should have done this. ?? Also whilst on the subject.. Jersey & Guernsey (channel Islands) are in the list of counties/states for the UK. If I were to change the county box, in the sign up area, into a drop down, but remove Jersey & Guernsey from the county/state list.. would this have worked. ?
  5. Guys. This is my last question.... honest. Provided all my prices are correct, the site will go live on Monday. In the UK, we have 2 tax areas.. 15% for mainland UK, and 0% for what we call the "Channel Islands" (Jersey & Guernsey) I've tried all sorts of things in the GUI so that the channel islands do not get taxed.. I've removed Jersey from the ISO file, but it still seems to be subject to tax. So the only way I can figure out to do this is, to create a new country code for the channel Islands. However, people in the channel islands, quite rightly, regard themselves as United Kingdom, so at the time of registration, they could easily use the default United Kingdom in the drop down on the registration page..However by doing so, will inadvertantly subject themselves to tax How do I configure this, so the country selection is blank by default, thus ensuring my channel island customers choose "Channel Islands" as thier country. Or am I barking up the wrong tree.. and there is an easier way to do this.

    Opt Out

    I found this.. taken me 2 days but it looks promising. in reg.tpl find: <td colspan="2">{LANG_RECIEVE_EMAILS} <input type="checkbox" name="optIn1st" value="1" tabindex="15" {VAL_OPTIN1ST_CHECKED} /></td> and replace with: CODE <td colspan="2">{LANG_RECIEVE_EMAILS} <input type="checkbox" name="optIn1st" value="1" tabindex="15" {VAL_OPTIN1ST_CHECKED} checked/></td> At least now when I sign a new user, the check box is checked by default.. just need to test if it works now

    Opt Out

    I've tried all combinations.. I can't seem to figure it
  8. Maybe try to change the freight handling to a diferent module. Or you could try to repair the database in your hosting control panel. In my host control panel is a section "My SQL Databases" from here I can check or repair the DBS. Failing that, maybe try to restore the DBS. But I guess as you've only just started building/playing.. a backup was the last thing on your mind..??

    Opt Out

    I had a play around with includes/content/reg.inc.php, but couldn't seem to find the section that deals with the "subscribe to store emails" check box though. I had considered, (if I could locate the code), turning it into a "check this box to opt out" option. Being a newbie to PHP, its all a massive learning curve. Not sure my old brain can keep up.

    Opt Out

    Nope.. I can't find it. I've played all morning, and can't figure it out. I also spent the best part of 2 hours scouring the net.. I can't believe, no ones done this before now.
  11. Maybe a corrupted folder. ? Try to open Images/uploads using an FTP app or the Hosting control panel file manager ?
  12. Guys. How do I have the contents of a box appear in the center. I've added the following code to the left hand column <div class="boxTitleRight">Catalogue Download</div> <div class="boxContentLeft"> <p><a href="http://www.mysite.co.uk/44963%20catalogue%20v8.pdf"> <img border="0" src="http://www.mysite.co.uk/webimage/download_icon.jpg" width="150" height="90"></a></p> <border="0" > </div> <div class="boxFootRight">&nbsp;</div> I'd like the icon.jpg to appear in the center of the box.. is this something very simple to do ?? Thanks in Advance Doh... I just figured it out <p align="center">

    Opt Out

    I'm guessing, its controlled somewhere in rec.inc.php ?? and possibly centred around the phrase optin1st=1 ? Maybe someone knows the definitive answer.

    Opt Out

    In CC3, Is it possible to change the registration page, so the user has to opt out of Store Emails, rather than opting in.

    customer login

    I don't have the answer, but we've seen something similar with CC3.16. Customers have been able to log in and order, then a few months later, their password is rejected. And because they already have an account, they can't create another one. Only solution we found, is to delete the account, so the customer can create another one
  16. Does your hosting package supply any stats.. most of them do, you have to enable them in your hosting control panel

    My website

    The question doesn't really make much sense to be honest. Are you asking for the cubecart admin password ?? If so, apparently, you can find it by usisng PHP Admin, from your hosting control panel. Don't know how though.. I've never done it
  18. I over came the compressed classic skin by changing the px sizes to a percentage value. Now the skin fills 95% of the screen regardless of what screen resoulution you have. I had a small issue with the prices and contents of the top right hand basket.. they were falling outside the box on smaller screen resolution sizes. Easy.. I moved the basket to the left hand column.
  19. OK.. I found the code in ViewCat.tpl It goes like this. <!-- BEGIN: buy_btn --> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="{PRODUCT_ID}" /> <input type="hidden" name="quan" value="1" /> <a href="java script:submitDoc('prod{PRODUCT_ID}');" target="_self" class="txtButton"> {BTN_BUY} Remove this section from veiwCat.tpl, there is no longer a "buy" button. Then in lang.inc.php, change the phrase 'more' => "More" to say something like 'more' => "Buy Now". I now only have one button, which takes me to the view page, where I can order the product.
  20. I've already changed the "more" button to say "view" in the language file.. at least this makes it a little less confusing. One of my business partners already has a basic website, which he paid to have done. To be honest, it's no better than the one I'm doing. I've just had a look to see how they did it. It looks like they removed the "buy" button.. I might just follow suit.. !! now lets see if I can find the code
  21. And I thought it was only me that did things like that
  22. Maybe the title doesn't really explain. Currently using CC3 When you enter into a product catagory, and see the list of products, there are 2 buttons on the right of each item. "buy" & "more" If you click the buy button, it will automatically add the part to your basket. (not a problem) However, it then redirects you to the view mode of this item, where there is an "Add to basket" button at the bottom. It's very easy, to not realise, by previously clicking the "buy" button, you've already added the item to your basket, so you could now inadvertantly click the "add to basket" button, thus ordering the same item twice. I've done this in testing, a number of times, and questioned my own sanity. Is there a way to overcome this.. Maybe configure CC3 so it doesn't redirect you to the item page, if you use the "buy" button. Or maybe something along the line "This item is already added to your basket" message
  23. In the end.. we decided to change to the classic skin. Created my own background, moved some boxes around, and it looks a lot better. Certainly less cluttered. I now have another question, but I'll start a new thread. Thanks for the info regarding the css file.. I'm learning quite a lot.. changed a few things in layout.css, index.php and the language file. Really enjoying it
  24. I guess the main reason I went for Killer, some of my catagories have long names ie "Specialist and Hole Clearance Sizes", in any other skin, it scrolls on to 2 lines, plus the other skins don't seem to fill the page. Unless there's a way to stretch them
