Their support is hopeless, I've already tried numerous times to get answers to questions that they haven't a clue on, I mean I'm not entirely proficient in all things to do with errors or web servers, but I have a limited grasp, but they just seem plain clueless - I've already began moving hosts to a reputable one so here's hoping the site is back up and running without all the nonsense I've encountered so far lol, thanks for the replies Marko

I didn't think cubecart would be at fault, I've used it in the past flawlessly, and having had a previous hosting account which was slow I decided to move to another host. Unfortunately, this second one is probably worse than the first in the sense I think my account is so heavily restricted or the server is over-subscribed it's precisely what you say, the dbase can't be accessed due to others on the same sql server giving it a hammering. I think a move to a decent host is on the cards, and hopefully I'll see a better outcome Thanks Marko

I was running 6.1.1 but forced an upgrade to current which seemed to work OK but I'm getting all manner of other PHP warnings now too: [25-Jan-2017 19:25:43 Europe/London] PHP Notice: `product_id` is not allowed as a key in 'CubeCart_inventory' table! in /home/######/public_html/classes/db/database.class.php on line 888 [25-Jan-2017 19:25:43 Europe/London] PHP Notice: `admin_id` is not allowed as a key in 'CubeCart_permissions' table! in /home/######/public_html/classes/db/database.class.php on line 888 [25-Jan-2017 19:25:43 UTC] PHP Notice: `enabled` is not allowed as a key in 'CubeCart_code_snippet' table! in /home/#####/public_html/classes/db/database.class.php on line 888 I wasn't getting all of those before the upgrade, but was having the issue with adding orders manually, hence the reason I considered upgrading the best option !!

PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/########/public_html/admin_#######/sources/dashboard.index.inc.php on line 228 HI again guys, I'm on the verge of quitting this host because all I seem to get are errors - can anyone shed any light as to what this error message means. Basically, whenever I go to create an order manually and submit it or change it's status I get a blank screen. The same happened when I created a newsletter and went to send a test to myself, I wiped the newsletter and started again with more success the second time but I seem to be going round in circles and I can't help but think it's the crappy host I'm using. Thanks Marko

Thanks guys, I did eventually manage to pull my brain into gear and get to grips on what was affected but sorry for the runaround guys, just wished it had been a little clearer on the ACP what get's sorted and I know most people will consider "last added" to be the most relevant for the homepage, just sometimes if I have a bad few weeks sourcing books I hate the front page looking the same for weeks, hence the reason why I was thinking (or rather hoping) to have the ability to re-order it from the ACP now and again but hey thanks again for your replies, I now know how it's meant to operate and I did implement the above fix too so all good Much appreciated Marko

Thanks for taking the time to check it out but I think we may be at crossed purposes. In the ACP, under Store Settings > Layout and the option "Product List Sorting" - I was under the impression this would affect the order for the latest products on the homepage. If it doesn't, what does "Product List Sorting" actually affect? Cheers Marko

certainly, www.thankbooks.co.uk

Just implemented those changes, thanks for the info again, but it doesn't appear to be making a difference on how the products are sorted on the home page - I've changed the 'Product List Sorting' numerous times, cleared caches, etc and still nothing seems to change relating to the order how products appear on the front page Any other suggestions/idea's welcomed

Great stuff guys, thanks for that, back at house but my belly needs feeding lol, will let you know how it goes in next hour or so Marko Had a quick look and sorry but another dumb question alert ... where would I make these edits ?

Thanks for that mate but I should have mentioned I'm still on 6.1.2, no idea why but the crappy hosting I'm on had an issue with zip which is a requirement of CC post 6.1.2 (I think) but host is something I'm definitely changing, if it only affects 6.1.4 then I guess that isn't the issue but I'll check it out when I'm back home and let you know either way Thanks again Marko

Might just be me, but am I missing something regarding the "Product List Sorting" function?. I've tried changing this to most of the options and nothing changes on the front end?. Preferably, I'd like to use the "Last Updated" option but when I change it to that, it still displays the "Date Added" sort option. Sorry if it's an easy answer but I have searched for similar queries but found nothing Thanks in advance Marko

Hey again, I'm currently (manually) having to create hundreds of cats on my site to cover all the different categories for our books and was wondering if there is some way to either run an SQL command from the ACP or otherwise to insert these cats that I have within a txt file?. I have a cat structure like: NEW BOOKS\ NEW BOOKS\Antiquarian, Rare & Collectable NEW BOOKS\Antiquarian, Rare & Collectable\Design Studies USED BOOKS\ USED BOOKS\Antiquarian, Rare & Collectable USED BOOKS\Antiquarian, Rare & Collectable\Design Studies Most of my cats have the top cat, sub cat and one further sub cat but because I have hundreds of them all, then I have NEW and OLD books so basically once I'm done creating, for example, the hundreds of cats for NEW BOOKS, I have to go back and do exactly the same for USED BOOKS. Any help importing these from an SQL command would be GREATLY appreciated Marko

It's pretty much supply and demand Ian, you hit the nail on the head - My intention wasn't to disrespect your mod or your time, it's purely a matter of having one's own opinion on what is considered acceptable or justifiable. If I were earning £1000 a month from a cart, £42 and £18 per annum thereafter would be a snip, but until then ....

Thanks for the welcome, just spotted this (always the same, you search search search, can't find it, post it and BANG, found it after all !!!) I followed the link in that thread and someone offered a mod but it's a little over the top in regards to price, they want something like £42 and then £18 annually? I can appreciate a coders time is valuable, but it's still a little steep, £20 and I would certainly have considered it, but not £42 with another £18 every year Marko

Hey all, first post and only just started messing with CubeCart, but looks like good fun and hope to be around for a while OK, here's my dilemma and I hope it's been raised before with some solution but couldn't find it ... basically I'm looking to be able to add images individually to product options, in much the same way as is available on Ebay for example. So, we create, say, 10 options for patterns of socks (stripes/plain/wave/circles/triangles etc etc) and apply a picture to each showing the specific style/pattern and when the customer chooses a style from the product page the correct image shows up?. Or does that option already exist and I'm just dense and missing something? Cheers in advance Marko
