Could there be something missing from the php code ? If I add the code as it is, then code sort of becomes corrupted, the code area fills with alpha numerical data. Thinking it may be missing an end statement, I added } ?> to the end, and this then causes a white screen. Tried this on another site, and again, the data becomes corrupted when I make the save.

Remember the millenium bug that never happened.

What's annoying is, after everyone has jumped up and down, panicked, made lots of changes and shoved lots of paper about, it will all blow over. Unscrupulous companies will still sell dodgy mailing lists, spammers and phishers will still spam and phish. I've no doubt that the EU will have to change some of the rules to satisfy SME's at some point. I had a customer today asking for his details to be removed, which transpired was nothing to do with GDPR, but the fact that he's no longer trading. However, because of GDPR, this made me think twice about protecting his data. What if it was someone else pretending to be him. By removing the data, I wouldn't neccessarily be protecting it. !!! Can you tell that I'm peed off with it already. .

I found that if I register as a new customer, then T&C's box appears. If I log in, the T&C's doesn't show. I want the T&C's checkbox to appear with each order confirmation. I found the following line in content.checkout.confirm.php {if $TERMS_CONDITIONS} <div><label for="reg_terms">&nbsp;</label><span><input type="checkbox" id="reg_terms" name="terms_agree" value="1" {$TERMS_CONDITIONS_CHECKED} /> <a href="{$TERMS_CONDITIONS}" target="_blank">{$LANG.account.register_terms_agree}</a></span></div> {/if} are there any changes I can make so have the T&C's box appear with each order confirmation.

Under 'Store Settings' - 'Layout', I have 'disable show T&C's on checkout' unchecked. I have a document checked as T&C's, however, I don't see any T&C's on checkout. I'm using the Mican skin. Any pointers. edit: I also tried on a Foundation skin and connot see anything there either.

enable debugging in 'Store Settings' - 'Advanced' This may produce an output string on your web browser. Failing that create a new file in the root of your store called ini-custom.inc.php and paste the following code inside. <?php # Custom initialization commands # Filename: ini-custom.inc.php # File location: main CubeCart folder ini_set('memory_limit', '256M'); ini_set('max_execution_time', '60'); ini_set('error_log', 'error_log'); ini_set('log_errors', 'on'); ?> This should produce an error.log file in the root of your store, which may give some clues.

But the legitimate interest states: The legitimate interests can be your own interests. It's highly likely to cause debate, but as there's no hard and fast rules "so to speak", we could argue that way we interpretted the rules, was that we have a legitimate interest to market our customers. However, marketing someone we never had contact with to from the onset, ie a mailing list, we would need to obtain consent. let me interpret the following. (my interpretation in blue) The legitimate interests can be your own interests or the interests of third parties. They can include commercial interests, individual interests or broader societal benefits. We have an interest to email and send catalogues to customers as a duty to keep them informed on price increases, special promotions and our new catalogue. The processing must be necessary. If you can reasonably achieve the same result in another less intrusive way, legitimate interests will not apply. The processing via email or snail mail is neccessary as we are unable to convey the information by any other means You must balance your interests against the individual’s. If they would not reasonably expect the processing, or if it would cause unjustified harm, their interests are likely to override your legitimate interests. How could one determine that a regular known customer, would not want to be kept informed, so we give the customer the ability to opt out during the communication campaign. I'm still working on the example, but if anyone wants to take a look and make any use of it, or any snippets of it, feel free. https://www.beal.org.uk/privacy-policy.html There are occasions when we will use your name, address and email address for marketing purposes, to develop our business and to extend the level of services available to you we believe that this is in our legitimate interest. We always provide an ‘opt out’ option in all our marketing correspondence with you.

Consent is only one of the principles. Legitimate Interest is another. https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/lawful-basis-for-processing/legitimate-interests/ The legitimate interests can be your own interests or the interests of third parties. They can include commercial interests, individual interests or broader societal benefits.

Just had a bit of a GDPR meeting and they guy said we could use 'Legitimate Reasons' to use the data for marketing purposes, so long as it's stated in our privacy policy and that the customer has the rights to opt out. Is there anything that states, the customer must be given to option to opt in/out at the time of sign up. The example privacy policy he supplied states: There are occasions when we will use your name, address and email address for marketing purposes, to develop our business and to extend the level of services available to you we believe that this is in our legitimate interest. We always provide an ‘opt out’ option in all our marketing correspondence with you. So if I take away the mailing list option on the web site, but give them the option when we mail them, that's taken away the grey area. If a customer were to find us by accident, made a phone call and placed an order over the phone, he has no opt in/opt out option to choose in that scenario, unless we asked. That's not going to happen, so why not take away the option from the web site.

What are your thoughts on the following. Take away the option to opt in or out of the mailing list all together. Write something in to a privacy policy stating that we have a legitimate interest to use your data for statistical and marketing purposes, giving the customer the right to opt out during the marketting campiagn.

Now I understand. I'm not sure this is possible. However, I'm sure someone like Havenswift, Noodleman or Semperfi could write a mod. Another alternative maybe would be to grab the thumbnail image and code this in to your homepage via the editor, a little like my Euro flag or Facebook logo.

I'm not sure what skin or layout you use, but adding them as a product, but out of stock, and then adding them to the 'Latest Products' or 'Featured Products' would show them on the front page. Similar to my page where it says "Checkout these great products" https://www.beal.org.uk

I assume you want to list a new product, but not allow anyone to purchase this item ? The way we would do this, would be add the product as usual, mark it with stock level and stock level warning as zero, and check 'use stock level' The description would say "Due in stock in May 2018" You could then utilise something like 'Popular Products' or 'Featured Products' to showcase said item.

Probably totally unrelated, but I had an issue with the facebook like buttons not showing. It took me a while to figure it out. Facebook is blocked on our firewall.

I might have to consider this when 6.2 is released and stable, if only for the GDPR stuff.

Whats the charge for this service Al. My main site has a number of mods which I've lost track of.

If your'e not aware, from about 6.1.2 admin became obfuscated, so it's no longer admin, but contains some random carachters, and ollowed by .php Something along the lines admingGtHxc.php Take a look in the root folder, see what the admin file is called. Make sure this filename is reflected in global.inc.php, along with the correct admin folder name. You may also have to use https://

i've just searched and can't find any real reference to an exploit of such. However, i'm no security expert. I suppose it could be a badly programmed bot.

I've no idea whether this conforms to the new GDPR consent requirements, but I just changed the wording of 'Subscribe to Mailing List' to the follwoing. Under the new 2018 GDPR guidelines, it's now a legal requirement that we seek permission to contact you outside of any contractual arrangements. Please tick this box if you agree to us contacting you. I had mine checked by default (opt out was a physical action), it's now unchecked. I've no idea how I'm going to contact 50,000 previous customers and ask for thier consent moving forward.

It's only happened twice to my knowledge. I modified these particular products in January. Rather than having an entry for a Black Cable Tie and another for the same sized White one, I deleted one of the products and added the colours as an option to the remaining. The first time this happened was only a few days after that change, so I assumed a cached basket, but this was more than 8 weeks ago. Incidentally, we sell tens of thousands of Cable Ties every week, so I'm ruling out a problem with the product database entry, and I've hundreds more products with options, so I guess ruling out a problem with the cart. Based on this, I can only really assume something in his browser allowed him to continue without an option

Product options blob. a:2:{i:310;s:24:"Pack Qty: 1000 - (+3.30)";i:6442;s:33:"Bag Requirements: Bagged in 100's";} Options array blob a:2:{i:1;s:3:"310";i:14;s:4:"6442";} If I open the order on the admin side of the cart, the options are not selected, in fact, it's giving me the chance to select the options.

The guy did say that there were no options and that he just thought he'd get whatever we sent. Image attached Product options blob. a:2:{i:310;s:24:"Pack Qty: 1000 - (+3.30)";i:6442;s:33:"Bag Requirements: Bagged in 100's";} Options array blob a:2:{i:1;s:3:"310";i:14;s:4:"6442";}

I tried this by disabling javascript in my browser, but I still see the options and cannot proceed without choosing one. Oddly, i couldn't update this thread :-)
