Long discussion so this is just an observation as I may have picked something up wrong. On V6 the pagination appears to work differently to V5. These doesn't appear to be a link to the View All page so from what I can see you would never get to the URL https://dirtybutter.com/plushcatalog/carters-plush-animals.html?page=all. If you click on the View More link at the bottom of the page until you get to the end then you still stay on https://dirtybutter.com/plushcatalog/carters-plush-animals.html. Assuming this is the case is there any need for additional meta tags? Or am I missing something?

Many thanks Al. I do like to try and do things myself but sometimes (well most of the time if I'm honest) it is beyond me so thanks for the excellent support.

Still have 40 credits so I have put a support ticket in. I love Cubecart and I do appreciate your support but at times it is sooooooo frustrating.

I am assuming I have a load of support credits still standing as I paid for Cubecart several times in the past. I was wanting to log a suppot ticket.

I've just gone to log in to our Cubecart account and it is saying log in with a verified PayPal account. What is all that about? I never needed a PayPal account to log on in the past. I'm getting more and more frustrated with this as the day goes on!

This is in admin: WARNING: Your store appears to be using source code from 6.0.2 but the database is still at 5.2.12.Please complete the upgrade by running the setup process. I was running V5.2.16.

I have absolutely no idea, sorry. I have done several V5 updates without any issue.

Don't have that option just get this.

Don't get any error messages just doesn't respond when I click on the Continue button.

Finally took the plunge today to update from V5 to V6. Tried to do it from admin and it said that it couldn't download the file so tried a manual update and it won't go past the first set up page. Anyone any ideas?

Haven't managed to recreate this problem so not sure what the cause could be. Have you tried using the start and pause buttons (see earlier post)? Does the start button work if the slide becomes stuck?

This is an issue that the developer is aware of. A new release is due soon which should fix the problem. In the meantime there are a few suggested fixes that I will have a look at and report back.

Fix is In file foundation/css/jquery.bxslider.css find .bx-wrapper .bx-viewport { -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #ccc; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #ccc; box-shadow: 0 0 5px #ccc; border: 5px solid #fff; left: -5px; background: #fff; change setting to left: 0px;

When the bxslider is merged with the foundation framework there is a conflict with the foundation css that effects the layout of the slider. On a large screen the controls on the right to advance the slides are touching the border but they arent on the left. On a mobile the image has no border on the left but a border on the top, right and bottom. I have had a look at the css but can't see where the conflict is. I also installed another V6.0.2 test site through Installatron and there was no slider at all.

Not working for me either with clean install. In the foundation/js/vendor/jquery.bxslider.min.js file I changed auto:!1 to auto:true Seems to work ok now. If you change autoControls:!1 to autoControls:true it ads start/pause buttons to the slider. You can find other settings at http://bxslider.com/examples

You could export your orders into a spreadsheet and calculate them all in one go. Depending on how many orders you have it could save time that way.

I've been using http://mailchimp.com/ for some time now and it is free for up to 2000 customers and reasonably priced above that, There are lots of advantages in using this instead of using the cubecart version. You can also integrate it so that it handles signups from your website and the stats it provides are also very good. Also has some built in templates to get you started. Maybe worth you having a look.

I haven't set any zones for PayPal as I have set zones in the all in one shipping plugin. If customers don't live in one of the the shipping zones then they don't get as far as the PayPal screen. Seems to work OK (I assume PayPal defaults to allow all zones unless told otherwise).

Having had a closer look at V6 mobile I agree the foundation skin handles things much better than V5. I also like the big screen better unfortunately everthing is going mobile so hopefully V6 will help us keep up. I'm going to work on the foundation skin over the next few days/weeks so hopefully will find a suitable solution.

The {$CATEGORIES} could be used and formatted accordingly but we also need to think about the responsive side of things. If there are a lot of categories it's going to get very messy, especially on a mobile. On V5 I coded the links in myself as it gives more control over how the navigation looks. On http://www.thecosmetichouse.com I have a small list of categories at the top with a link to an A-Z page with all of the categories on. I also have a list in the left column showing the main brands. This works for me. On the mobile skin I have a list of the main categories at the top and a seperate page with an A-Z of brands. Personally I think it looks better and is easier for the user to find their way around rather than having to scroll through dozens of categories to get to the popular products. I think I will take the same approach with V6. Obviously there is more work doing it manually but I never found a way to autofill the categories that looked any good.

To add a simple side menu on the left of the page. In the skin folder foundation/templates/main.php Replace <div class="row {$SECTION_NAME}_wrapper"> <div class="small-12 large-9 columns small-collapse"> {include file='templates/box.errors.php'} {include file='templates/box.progress.php'} {$PAGE_CONTENT} </div> <div class="large-3 columns show-for-large-up"> {include file='templates/box.featured.php'} {include file='templates/box.popular.php'} {include file='templates/box.sale_items.php'} </div> With <div class="row {$SECTION_NAME}_wrapper"> <div class="large-3 columns show-for-large-up"> {include file='templates/box.featured.php'} {include file='templates/box.leftmenu.php'} {include file='templates/box.popular.php'} {include file='templates/box.sale_items.php'} </div> <div class="small-12 large-9 columns small-collapse"> {include file='templates/box.errors.php'} {include file='templates/box.progress.php'} {$PAGE_CONTENT} </div> In the skin folder foundation/templates create a new file called box.leftmenu.php Add the following code {* * CubeCart v6 * ======================================== * CubeCart is a registered trade mark of CubeCart Limited * Copyright CubeCart Limited 2015.

Very simple but can be formatted using css to get the desired effect.

Just had a look at this and what may be a simple solution is to hard code the existing menu in with say 5 or 6 categories along with an A-Z link which opens up a new page with all the categories and sub categories on.

At some point I will be in the same position as we have too many categories for the basic set up to handle. I will probably look at hard coding the menu into the position I want it. There are some example menus you could maybe use at http://designscrazed.org/css3-jquery-dropdown-menus/ or http://pixelbell.com/css-menu-tutorials/ there will be other examples out there also.

If you have a Featured Product section on the page have a look at the source for that image and it should be a similar method. I think it's in a <p class="image"> tag.

You could make changes to the box.sale_items.php file but replacing the {$SALE_ITEMS} in the main.php file is basically the same thing. Then if you want to return to the way it was you just need to remove the code you put in and replace it with the {$SALE_ITEMS} again.
