So one Like (from Al) and no Retweets so guess not that many people are that interested ? There are some votes and a couple of additional comments but this needs wider publicity and social media is the way to do that.
-
@sailing123 and @Lastwolf (indeed anyone reading this) if you are on Twitter then can you Like and Retweet
If you both (or anyone else that is interested in this) also Tweets from that integration page, then everyone else can also do the same
-
Voted and added a comment and also Tweeted it so if anyone can find that and retweet it and also tweet themselves that would be helpful

Are you intending to use that field for other purposes ? Often better to add new fields rather than repurpose
However, to answer your question - it wont save more than 20 characters as the database column is only defined as a varchar(20)

No other customer can order the same item, as the shop shows it as 'out of stock'
That is correct behaviour as the item is allocated against the order
6 minutes ago, Dacs said:I have set the stock to reduce when an order is placed - Order goes to Pending.
Is there a specific reason why you have it set this way especially if you have a number of items with very low stock levels and also customers that dont immediately pay for their items. There are some specific use cases where having it set this way is required but most stores would decrease stock once an order is paid for and goes to Processing
8 minutes ago, Dacs said:When the customer logs back into that order and selects Make Payment The result is the Out of stock message, so cant complete the order.
This however doesnt sound correct - sounds like there is a bug there. You might want to log a report here : https://github.com/cubecart/v6/issues

Another reason is that small businesses must post more than 100 orders a day
Unfortunately, they are probably correct in that very few CubeCart users will be sending 100 orders a day

They closed that loophole then !

I think this would have to be Al's decision as to how much noise and what noise he would like to make

Even more crazy when they eventually (after being difficult for a few weeks) allowed me access to a Despatch Manager Online account to write, test and support a plugin for this system which was then replaced by the Click and Drop system. Apart from setting up the dev account, they didnt have to provide any additional help or support.
Do customers who already have a Click & Drop account have access to the API documentation - that was the way I originally got around RM initially saying they would not provide access - I simply used a client's account with their permission and got all the information that way

One other option I already suggested to @Al Brookbanks this morning, would be to use social media such as Twitter

During the installation you would have been given the admin url but you can check what the admin file is called by using FTP or a File manager and look for a file called admin_AbCdE.php and then add that to your shop url

Except several customers have complained about loosing a basket they were working on for several days
That is not what I have been saying ! You should 100% change the settings as I outlined earlier and do it through cPanel which then updates the correct files such as teh local php.ini or user.ini etc Speak to your hosting company if you are unsure
-

where do I find this php.ini file?
There should also be no need to manually change this in the php.ini file especially if you are using cPanel hosting
-
So to clarify : version 6.2.9 core CubeCart along with version 1.0.19 of the AIOS plugin has this feature built in. I havent checked other shipping plugins, but would expect that these still need the work to be done

There is no guarantee that all users on all hosting can set these and you need to ensure you set them correctly or the website might not work at all !
session.gc_maxlifetime = {your value} - this value is in seconds and 2 to 4 days is usually more than enoughsession.save_path = "/home/{USER}/tmp" - directory must exist and should ALWAYS be above the public_html directory -

However, what makes this difficult is that setting is a server wide setting, so unless you run your own server, you may not be able to change this.
I doubt that a shared server host would change this setting just to please you, unless this can be done on an account basis, which i'll make enquiries
That is not the case, this can and should be set on a per account basis BUT you should also change the location where your session files are stored so they are not in the default location and are therefore affected by the serverwide garbage collection

Safari may behave differently, and perhaps when on a mobile device, updates happen completely unnoticed.
It isnt just updates that will change the User Agent String, if the IP address also changes, then it will cause the same issue. Dynamic IP addresses can change quite frequently when using certain ISPs and when on mobile devices, especially when moving (car or train for example) as you move between different towers. This will also be logged in the PHP error_log file so if you know the date / time when the customers complained about this happening, you can compare this to the logs and see if this is the cause

Using a CubeCart backup isnt the best way of moving from one hosting to another especially if both are on cPanel !
As long as the hosting package on your old hosting is still up and hasnt been deleted, then it makes no difference that the domain points to your new host, there are multiple ways to access cPanel without going down the domain.com/cpanel route
I would not have installed CubeCart on your new hosting either as you have all the files and database (in theory) in the CubeCart backup

I have moved hosting providers and the old provider is not being at all helpful in getting my store moved to the new hosts.
Not sure too many businesses would offer help after you have made the decision to leave them ? Your new hosting company should however have offered to do the whole move for you so are they offering help ?
What hosting control panel were you on and what are you going to ? For example if both are cPanel, then it is simple to move the whole account across using a cpmove backup file. How was the backup file created you are trying to move ?

Then something in your Hosting environment is blocking the updates - when done that way, it works perfectly.

Meta keywords are not used by any crawler so no point wasting time completing these.
in terms of meta description as per your question, Google and other browsers can and will choose to use the description from the page instead of the defined meta description, if they feel it better represents the page - as far as I am aware, there is no way to control this although having better Microdata on a page can sometimes help and is best practice for SEO anyway (see https://www.cubecart.com/extensions/plugins/google-pinterest-schema-org-microdata-plugin)

The notifications do still work but you must upgrade the extensions using the thunderbolt key from within CubeCart admin. If you manually upgrade using FTP or a file manager upload then you wont get any notification

It works perfectly with my record label site. It's a great mod! Thanks @bsmither. This would be ideal to have in upcoming updates. Could this be considered @Al Brookbanks?
Absolutely agree !

Just as a matter of intrest, I used a Havenswift skin and got a blank screen. Not sure if it was yours but am too scared to buy extensions.
There is no encoding in either of our skins and unless you have bought the skin you wouldnt have been able to test it as these are not freely downloadable ! If you have purchased a skin and are having problems, then please log a support ticket on our website ! As @NiteFox has said, if in any doubt, contact the skin / plugin developer before installing and most will be helpful - if you want to test / demo any of our plugins, we will certainly be but do contact us via our support ticket system

Why are the extensions developed for this cart by some developers so shockingly poor?
There are only a limited number of "ACTIVE" developers all of whom in my opinion are creating generally excellent plugins. Why so few ? Mainly because so many store owners dont want to pay anything, let alone a few pounds / dollars for plugins that often take many tens of hours (or in the case of larger plugins - hundreds) to develop and then the same each year maintaining, upgrading and supporting users.
3 hours ago, Bobby12345 said:Another extension forced ioncube crap on me and had to start my cart from scratch with getting admin people involved
As already covered in a ticket post, ionCube is not crap and is available for free with all decent hosting and is a simple two minute installation. Also absolutely no reason to have to start from scratch again - simply remove the plugin from the modules/plugins directory and all back to normal.

I cant afford the ionCube fees. This has turned into a big mess. Need to restart everything.
ionCube loaders are distributed freely so no need to pay for anything ! They are freely available and can usually be added as a PHP module from within your hosting control panel - 5 minute exercise. Absolutely no reason why it should be a mess and you would have to start again either - simply remove the encoded plugin and all will work as before

Dont want ioncube but cant find anything on how to deactivate this damn thing.
Why would you not want to activate ionCube ? Does absolutely no harm and allows you to run a large number of plugins that are encoded with it

That will get rid of the intial problem but will leave hooks enabled in the database that should be manually deleted

An extension developer doesn't get notified of updates in these forum posts so @Noodleman may not have seen this
