  1. Please note. This is NOT the third-party forum, therefore this topic has no place here. SimChris, if you wish to address a letter to the third-party developers, I would at least publish it in the correct forum. You are welcome to post it over at cubecartforums.org, the home of third-party resources.

     

    Closing topic.

  2. Last I recall they said they weren't providing the files themselves, but it was ok for third party developers to still distribute them, has something changed?

    Third-party providers have never been allowed to re-distribute CubeCart download files. We are allowed to install it for clients, but not provide them with the original ZIPs.

  3. Which instructions can I follow exactly? I haven't find them anywhere on Cubecart.com.

     

    You said "because you forgot to add back in the global.inc.php file"? I don't understand you advice.

     

    The upgrade instructions online do not mention the globals file as they say to upload overwritting existing files. Hence the global file will remain in place. No need to confuse people with more information than necessary.

     

    There are plenty of Commercial members at CubeCartForums.org to help you if you need help. Or the CubeCart people themselves can upgrade your store for you.

  4. If you don't follow the instructions exactly, you will have issues. You followed the new installation route because you forgot to add back in the global.inc.php file which has all the database information. Because that was missing, the upgrade option was not available to you, hence why everything was duplicated, references missing, and settings reset. This is not an issue with the CubeCart upgrade process.



    Equally, if you don't rename (and relabel) your customised skin from a shipped skin name, uploading all the files including the shipped skins will overwrite your changes. It's imperative that customised skins are renamed to avoid these issues... again, not an issue with the upgrade process. If you do overwrite the skin files, then you can just restore/upload a backup of it.... in any case, don't forget to apply any skin changes to your custom skin.

  5.  

    This sounds like more work than I have time for! Is there anyway around this?

    Yes, there are two other ways around this (other than bsmithers' suggestion). Always use the shipped skin that comes with each version you upgrade to, or get yourself a web developer... plenty at CubeCartForums.org.

    approximate time it takes?

    Probably not long. But you'll need to ask a developer.
