    Fuzzy Time?

    in Customising Look & Feel

    Posted

    Thanks for that - never have known what that is. And that won't do what I would like to do.

    You helped me some time ago with how to add to the homepage listings the time a product was added.

    Added  {formatTime(strtotime($product.updated))}

    But I'm in the midst of testing everything prior to upgrading to 6.2.1 and this is something I'd like to improve on if possible. It works ok as is on 6.2.1. But to me it looks kind of odd to have the time showing - m/d/y would be sufficient.

    Is there a different code that would do that?

    What is Fuzzy Time? (Admin>Store Settings>Advanced tab)

    When/where is it used?

    I'm hoping it can be made to show month, day, year without time. But it may be that it is used somewhere that needs to be left alone.

    Is there a specific term that displays m/d/y on a storefront page  instead of Date&Time Format?

    6.2.1 Print Order Design FOUND

    in Customising Look & Feel

    Posted

    I never could figure out how to get my custom packing slip created with the WYSISYG form. So, at least for now, I copied the 6.1.15 orders.print.php over to 6.2.0 and commented out this section of orders.index.inc.php and changed the fetch part. 

    			// Parse
		/* 6.2.0 DOCUMENTS INVOICE TAB NOT NEEDED	$invoice_template = $GLOBALS['db']->select('CubeCart_invoice_template', array('hash', 'content'), false, 'id DESC', 1);
			if($invoice_template && !empty($invoice_template[0]['content'])) {
				$fetch_source = 'string:'.$invoice_template[0]['content'];
			} else {
				$fetch_source = 'templates/orders.print.php';
			}
			$template = $GLOBALS['smarty']->fetch($fetch_source);
		END DOCUMENT TAB	*/
		// 5.1.16 LINE INSTEAD OF $FETCH_SOURCE ABOVE
			$template = $GLOBALS['smarty']->fetch('templates/orders.print.php');

     

    Site Document - title still displaying in browser title

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    (I've bookmarked the recaptcha discussion and will see if mine reverts in a few days with stock Admin and Foundation.)

    On the Document issue - did you EVER see the line through the document with it not showing on the storefront? My plushcatalog store is 6.1.15+. It does have some of the early commits from 6.2.0. I remember seeing the line through the homepage document in Admin at some point in testing and the document not showing on storefront. It no longer behaves correctly on that, but I don't normally use it and hadn't noticed.

    Site Document - title still displaying in browser title

    I have a stock install of yesterday's 6.2+ commit with Replace Global Meta Data with a different title than the Document Title. I left seo meta data alone. Document is set to not show, but it does. There is no line through the Document in Admin the way it used to be at some point.

    I'll be right back with the results of the wrong SEO title of the Document when I clear browser cache. Ah, it did NOT change the tab title of the browser. I'll try it again with a different seo meta data with different SEO title. THAT did change the browser Tab Title. But it does not cross out the Document title in Admin. Nor does it get rid of the Document Title in storefront.

    Best Way to be sure DB has ALL current tables, etc

    I have two windows open: manually looking at structure one table at a time, comparing what was stock files, but originally based on my plush database (our main store) with a brand new install.

    I am finding some differences so far and changing the old "stock" to match the 100% stock - but haven't seen an actual missing table yet.

    Is there a way to overwrite structure only, other than manually one line at a time? Is that what "join" is??

    Thank you both, but this is so obvious to the two of you, but doesn't tell me enough "how to". For instance, what is "left join"? HOW do I get CC to attempt a retrieve of all columns (SELECT*)?

    The behavior that's plaguing  me is https://github.com/cubecart/v6/issues/2004

    This is on the latest commit of 6.2.1. I do have one public site at this stage of CC, but it's far from stock: https://dirtybutterestates.com . I got confused at some point and upgraded the live site unintentionally - luckily this site has extremely low traffic. I've tried it with and without plugins enabled, with and without cookie dialogue, with cookies OK'd or Blocked,  guest or registered. I've also tried it with countries that do have states, others that do not, and also optionals. No permutation I've tried made a difference.

    I'm not sure - sorry. I do know you can see what cookies are in use with FireFox by clicking on the i in the circle to the left of the padlock in the url. Follow the arrow on the right to show connection details. Click on More Information and there will the list of all cookies. Test it with cookies enabled, close out all sessions and cache, and try again with cookies disabled. Maybe you can tell which cookies are disabled when the customer blocks.

    You should be able to then Google for those disabled cookies and see what they go with. Hopefully then you would have some way of seeing past and present use of that plugin, service, etc. in some kind of report from that service.

    There's probably some very easy way to do all that, but that's all I know how to do.

    I've no idea how I'm going to contact 50,000 previous customers and ask for thier consent moving forward.

    I thought I'd start working on this with our Wordpress sites. One has no comments, pages only all written by me. So that one is a no brainer. One has comments, so I'm using a GDPR plugin to get an appropriate Privacy page. I tweaked the wording just a bit to fit the site. I've sent a policy update email to all of the commenters.

    But the third site is a doozy. It was created many years ago, has over 16k comments and over 2,600 members. It got too big for me to handle alone a few years ago. So I shut down all comments, access to accounts, etc., and moved to Facebook. I notified all 2,600 plus at the time about what I was doing. Because there is so much valuable information not available anywhere else on the internet among the many posts and comments - I have kept the site open and up to date security wise.

    NOW I needed to provide ex-members a way to ask for deletion of all personal data. Luckily I found a WP plugin that made it somewhat easy to delete. I downloaded all members name and email address. I ended up using the free email sites online - MailChimp and BenchMark - to upload parts of the membership list and send out an email about how to have their personal data deleted.

    I'm now in the process of deleting said data for those who requested it. But the crazy part is - about all I had was name and email address for anyone. So, with their website data "deleted", I then had a databased list of all the names and addresses of the deleted names and addresses!! How crazy is THAT!

    I decided that for this situation it made more sense to delete the databased list of those who requested deletion and also delete all email correspondence we had concerning the posts, etc. That may not be the "legal" way to do it, but it was silly done any other way.

    Thank goodness the GDPR rules make it clear that data that needs to be retained for financial, etc., purposes is OK . Our CC mailing list was always optional, so that shouldn't be an issue for us on CC sites.

    To deal with your 50k+ list you will probably have to do something similar on a larger scale - creating a list and throttling sending them a chance to opt-out and/or delete non-essential data. WP made this easier by having an easy way to create and download the customer list. And then the WP plugin made it easier to confirm their request for deletion and then the actual deletion of data (not perfect).

    Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
