  1. I have no immediate solution.

    What I would do is go to the site admin, and select a "stock" skin. If that works fine, then the problem is most likely in the customizing of the current skin. If the stock skin has the same/similar problems, then it has to be the baseline code - or a mod - that contains the error.

  2. Check out www.cubecart.org. You seem to be looking for a modification.

    You will find several ways (mods) to do this over there. Pay attention to the "pinned posts". They are the true "gems" of the forum.

    www.cubecart.com is for baseline code support.

  3. May i suggest another approach?

    If you already are setup in /store, and you just don't want to change things...you can build a simple "index.html" for the site root, and use a url forwarding routine:

    <html>

    <head>

    <title>your store name</title>

    <meta http-equiv="REFRESH"

    content="0;url=http://www.your_site.com/store">

    </head>

    <body>

    </body>

    </html>

    I use this on a site. Notice the content="0";url.... line. If you want to make this html file a welcome page to greet the new user, just add some content, and change the "0" to another number. This is the amount of time before the auto redirect executes - in seconds. Leaving this set to "0" means it will immediately go to the store.

    Look at www.bakery1.com, They are set up this way.

  5. Check your CC3 admin page to see that "GD = 2".

    If you uploaded images before you had the GD settings set correctly, then the thumbnails were probably not created. Try adding a test category and test product and upload new test images to each.

    Also, go to your images/thumbs folder to see if they exist. Also to see if they are now being created.

  6. Guessing that powweb is your server hosting company, is this a "Fantastico" installation?

    My first thought is that you have an installation folder issue (//.CubeCart.1158429066/).

    If this is Fantastico, it is easy to remove this installation and try again. This time use "cart" or "store" as your installation folder.

    Fantastico or manual installation, I suggest you uninstall and re install CC3.

  7. That would be my guess. Upgrading a "modded" store is all too often a teadious task. First, one must know each and every file that has been modified, and make sure that if the upgrade is going to replace that file, then to add the correct "mod" code to the new file(s) - in the appropriate place. Make all code changes in all files before you look for success.

    All this is probably fundamental to you, but bears repeating...

    I would suggest that you are going to need to examine each CC3 file and look carefully at the original code and then the moded code. (What a way to spend the weekend...)

  8. Hi :)

    1) the following folders need to have 777 permissions: images/uploads and images/uploads/thumbs

    2) GD must be running on the server

    3) GD version settings in your ACP should match GD version running on the server

    Yea, what he said...

    I experienced a similiar problem last week. My resolution was to change hosting companys. The first one did not have GD running on their server. Setting GD to N/A (CC3 admin settings) stopped any CC3 error messages I was getting while adding an image to a product, but I never could get the thumbnails created.

    Do a search on phpinfo.php. This is a simple (3 line) program you can build and upload to the CC3 "root" and execute to get your server details. If you cannot see a "GD" entry in the resulting report , your gonna need to contact your server host. I'm still waiting for mine to figure it out, so, I just used another server hosting company.

  9. Did you backup your gd.inc.php file prior to the upgrade?

    That is the first place I would check. Below are the details my gd.inc.php file. You will need to identify the specific ingredients for yours (Check CPanel on your hosting account - If that is what is used...)

    When I setup my database,

    My database file name is "ccrt1"

    My username is also "ccrt1"

    my server hosting account name is "bamabar"

    Note that the database name has the site name appended to it when I set up the database in CPanel's MySQL manager. "bamabar_ccrt1"

    My global.inc.php file:

    $glob['dbdatabase' ] = 'bamabar_ccrt1' ;

    $glob['dbhost' ] = 'localhost' ;

    $glob['dbusername' ] = 'bamabar_ccrt1' ;

    $glob['dbpassword' ] = 'aabbccddd' ;

    $glob['dbprefix' ] = '' ;

    $glob['installed' ] = '1' ;

    $glob['rootDir' ] = '/home/bamabar/public_html/cart' ;

    $glob['rootRel' ] = '/cart/' ;

    $glob['storeURL' ] = 'http://bamabar.com/cart' ;

    I'm thinking that you need the correct database and user names (with the appended site name...) in your global.inc.php file.

    I hope I'm not sending you down the wrong path...

  11. Hi

    I'm trying upload product pictures and although the show up on the detailed description there's no thumbnail. And, in fact, sometimes when I try to upload a jpg, I get this error. do you have any advice..?

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in e:\domains\t\turtlemouth.co.uk\user\htdocs\classes\gd.inc.php on line 49

    Fought same problem. Changing server hosting companies was my solution...But look at this link:

  12. I take my own photos of my categories and products. I them crop and touch them up. I can make them almost any size I want. What is optimum? I just tried 800 x 600 (pixels) and that was too large. The category and product pages went crazy. Trying 240 x 180 and the pages show them off center to the left - with a lot of white space.

    What is the best size to use?
