  1. Logo screen has default and current logos on same line which makes the screen verrrrrrry wide a better layout would have default and current current logos Stacked and sectioned if needed I can rewrite the layout for the logo screen and provide the code changes
  2. Ive found that<link edited> to be the best SSL certificate provider cheaper than thawte or verisign at $139 a year for an elite SSL certificate they are professional and will go to great lengths to help you You must have a host that allows you to have your own SSL cert and will give you your own IP theres no substitute for a REAL certificate and soon browsers wont recognize or willthrow a warning from sites using wildcard ssl or other low end certificates do it right get a proper SSL certificate shared SSL is not a good idea because the whole idea is to generate trust in your store and a shared ssl just says you have a host who wont allow it or you didnt want to pay for the extra security a proper SSL cert gives you self signed certificates are also no good they will throw warnings at the customers telling them its a self signed certificate and theres nothing really backing the transaction if the information is leaked Do yourself and your customers a favor get a real cert
  3. AIM is better because if one you have a SSL certificate it generates trust increasing sales because people are more apt to whip out their credit cards and two it keeps them on your site which again generates trust because you took the extra steps to become "legitimate" and three all information is encrypted via the SSL and the users credit card info is not kept in your database and authnet still still carries the brunt of the security four having SSl not only encrypts the credit card transaction but also any personal or financial information passing between your customers and your server like on registration and login and thru the checkout process
  4. Lightbox still could use a Close Window [X] link in the upper right corner alot of people wont know to click outside the lightbox
  5. Click view categories then click the name of of your top level category which then shows the sub categories then edit or DELETE the category pretty slick no?
  6. Thats funny Im running the SEO on my clients Ccv4 site and index.php is NOT in any of the SEF (search Engine Friendly URLs) are you sure you have it enabled in general settings? it is included in some of the other register/login/checkout/and reviews pages but those pages are never meant for SEF urls Kinetic
  7. Im actually writing a hack for the review/comments dupe content issues you have raised its almost complete and I will post the files here for anyone to modify their stores with Ive implemented so far the following any product with comments or reviews will have them displayed instead having to click a button or link to display them Implemented write a review comment onClick to show the form instead of having it do a new seo unfriendly URL Implemented if no reviews or comments link to use onclick ajax Implemented when there are reviews the link on the number of reviews link which also shows the write a review/comment All thats left to do is make sure the success or error messages show up again Ill post more here when I have it completed
  8. I agree reviews an comments if published should be visible w/o clicking a link or button or if the link is kept it should be a simple onCLick show div and review content should already be pulled along with the product information from the database as search engine spiders cant click the link to show it. So we need the review or comment content already in the parsed page. which takes care of the fooked up URL issue on reviews and comments again the mod_rewrite rules and linking php needs to be rewritten to address this till then just try not to make mistakes in manual links... and use a sitemap... I would refrain calling it "harmfull" as I have seen great increase in ranking and traffic on sites I have installed the SEO Mod (CCv3x.x) for clients vs not having it installed if this is what is keeping you from using CCv4 best to just wait till it has been resolved to your satisfaction or better yet why dont you rewrite the code for the seo stuff to suit you and your issues then post the changes as a hack or sell it as a mod??? Im sure others would love to see it addressed and most people here if they know their stuff will code the hack and post it or create a mod and sell it instead complaining
  9. doubtful as the problem is with the FCK editor which devillion has no real control over when FCK editor is cleared for use with a particular browser you can check http://www.fckeditor.net to see the status of FCK editor with Safari if FCK has been cleared recently for use with Safari and it is a problem with the FCK install and setup for use in Cubecart then it will be up to brooky and the other admins and developers to get Cubecarts FCK editor up to the latest release which since its first inclusion in cubecart have been slow to come.... untill then I suggest you use Firefox for Mac on your Mac.... Current status of FCK editor and use in safari on Macs http://www.fckeditor.net/safari as you can see it is NOT cleared for use with Safari close but not yet...
  10. you caught me on a good day as for my "wisdow" Im fresh out could use some more if you know where to get it... Kineticus
  11. Open includes/content/forgotPass.inc.php FIND: if ($config['floodControl'])) $spamCode = fetchSpamCode($_POST['ESC'], true); replace with: if ($config['floodControl']) $spamCode = fetchSpamCode($_POST['ESC'], true); there is one too many parentheses after floodcontrol] save, close and upload forgotPass.inc.php is now fixed tested on a real site using CCv4.0.01 Kinetic
  12. I would venture if you create a sitemap.xml however you choose (theres several online sitemap generators or get a mod from one of our knowledgeable mod authors) and add that sitemap to google (get yourself a google webmaster account) and when you do make changes to a category name or a product name you would UPDATE your sitemap.xml and notify via google sitemaps that it has been updated and googlebot will follow that and re index the new changes and shouldnt have penalilzed you for duplicate content as it is following the sitemap and all other "links" wont be accessible to googlebot other than that you would have to rewrite the mod_rewrite rules and code to give a 404 or redirect to the new cat or product SEF URL sitemaps are your FRIEND!!!!!
  13. I was writing a contact us form based off the tell a friend forms in CCv4.0.01 and noticed that although it does submit it does not pass the senders IP and does not pass the senders name in the subject line or body you end up with a subject line like this Product Recommended by {SENDER_NAME} ok first things first lets fix the Senders IP Open language/en/email.inc.php FIND: Sender's IP Address: {SERDER_IP}", REPLACE with: Sender's IP Address: {SENDER_IP}", Save and Close: language/en/email.inc.php next OPEN: includes/content/tellafriend.inc.php FIND: if ($floodControlPass) { ## make email require("classes".CC_DS."htmlMimeMail".CC_DS."htmlMimeMail.php"); $lang = getLang("email.inc.php"); $mail = new htmlMimeMail(); $macroArray = array( 'RECIP_NAME' => sanitizeVar($_POST['recipName']), 'MESSAGE' => stripslashes(sanitizeVar(strip_tags($_POST['message']))), 'PRODUCT_URL' => $GLOBALS['storeURL'].'/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId='.sanitizeVar($_GET['productId']), 'STORE_URL' => $GLOBALS['storeURL'], 'SENDER_IP' => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], ); $text = macroSub($lang['email']['tellafriend_body'], $macroArray); unset($macroArray); $macroArray = array( "{SENDER_NAME}" => sanitizeVar($_POST['senderName']) ); $mail->setText($text); $mail->setReturnPath($_POST['senderEmail']); $mail->setFrom($_POST['senderName'].' <'.$_POST['senderEmail'].'>'); $mail->setSubject(macroSub($lang['email']['tellafriend_subject'], $macroArray)); $mail->setHeader('X-Mailer', 'CubeCart Mailer'); $send = $mail->send(array($_POST['recipEmail']), $config['mailMethod']); } REPLACE WITH: if ($floodControlPass) { ## make email require("classes".CC_DS."htmlMimeMail".CC_DS."htmlMimeMail.php"); $lang = getLang("email.inc.php"); $mail = new htmlMimeMail(); $macroArray = array( 'RECIP_NAME' => sanitizeVar($_POST['recipName']), 'MESSAGE' => stripslashes(sanitizeVar(strip_tags($_POST['message']))), 'PRODUCT_URL' => $GLOBALS['storeURL'].'/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId='.sanitizeVar($_GET['productId']), 'STORE_URL' => $GLOBALS['storeURL'], 'SENDER_IP' => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], 'SENDER_NAME' => sanitizeVar($_POST['senderName']) ); $text = macroSub($lang['email']['tellafriend_body'], $macroArray); $mail->setText($text); $mail->setReturnPath($_POST['senderEmail']); $mail->setFrom($_POST['senderName'].' <'.$_POST['senderEmail'].'>'); $mail->setSubject(macroSub($lang['email']['tellafriend_subject'], $macroArray)); $mail->setHeader('X-Mailer', 'CubeCart Mailer'); $send = $mail->send(array($_POST['recipEmail']), $config['mailMethod']); } Save and Close includes/content/tellafriend.inc.php Upload both files back to your server and tell afriend will be working a real treat hopefully this will make it into the next patch release. Kinetic :)
  14. your current customers site use authnets SIM Simple integration method where the customer is directed at checkout to a SECURE authnet form page to finish the order (credit card number expiration date) then is returned to the store in v4 all you have available is authnet's AIM advanced integration method where the customers STAYS on your site and you MUST have SSL to pass the sensitive financial data to the gateway this doesnt SUCK its PROPER as you never ever ever ever want to send your credit card info "in the clear" get a SSL certificate and you can use AIM dont get one you will need to use some other gateway as SIM is NOT in CCv4
  15. The URL structure IS Search engine friendly what isnt friendly is index.php?act=ViewCat&cat=Bracelets&product=2 thats not SEO friendly what ruki has created is a proper url sturcture that can be bookmarked and read as it doesnt carry a string of variables Im not sure where you got the idea that the SEO urls were unfriendly it lists the category name and the product name and the final "page" name is a friendly prod_23.html or what ever the product id is of the product this is no bug this IS SEO friendly this is HOW it is supposed to work and works quite well
  16. It will show up in the browser title as &quot;
  17. whats going to be really interesting is where all our skilled mod authors take v4 and the new mods they come up with to extend CCv4 even further
  18. I love the fact that Paypal US was a smashing success for CCv4 and that store owners will be able to do Auth then Capture and refund and payment confirmation from within their store Admin CP (been a long time coming and congrats again PAypal doesnt hand out compliments like that very often) My question is can we expect the same kind of attention to detail to the Authorize.net Advanced Integration Method (AIM) gateway as was given the paypal pro? This is the preferred gatway for easily doing credit card transactions and having customer stay on your site and costs less than doing paypal pro. The ability to Authorize then Capture or provide full or partial refunds or add shipping costs after the order is highly sought after from all the authnet acct owners I serve. especially the auth then capture because in some states its required by law to only authorize the card then only capture after shipment or order fulfillment has been made (ie downloads)
  19. Heres the question Im going to be asked by clients: "If I already paid to have Powered By cubeCart removed from the title bar of the browser and to have the cubecart and devillion links removed from the footer of the page why do i have to pay again to upgrade when I was under the impression when we bought the key it was good for all future upgrades Cant I just pay the difference for the upgrade version? You know like an Upgrade fee?" Thats what they will ask...
  20. Nice to see devillion acting so fast to provide existing customers a coupon rock on Brooky rock on 30% off? Wow....
  21. Why the 2 license fees? 1 for the application and one for the copyright removal? that really doesnt seem fair??? I pay the $129.95 software license I shouldnt have to also pay to have the cubecart powered by and links removed as well I highly doubt you will get many that will pay twice for the same bit of software other companies have tried this and it always fails... and whether I pass the cost on to my clients or not I wouldnt pass that on because that smacks of paying for it twice 1 license 1 fee make the price fair and let them beat down your down with orders
  22. To use UPS as a shipping method you must apply a WEIGHT to each product once all your products have a shipping weight you will not receive the error message about countries Hope this helps Kinetic
  23. yes editing or removing the Powered by cubecart in the title and brookys links in the footer violates the license if you want them removed simply buy a license (its well worth it and supports Brooky) when you have purchased a license key you will be able to insert it in the CubeCart Admin and the powered by and the footer links will disappear automagically (I always give brooky a link back in any event) No change there then
  24. Simply login in to your stores admin area and click Gateways > Print Order Form "Configure" and DISABLE the print order gateway the option to print out an order form and send in a check or money order will no longer be avaailable to customers at check out Print order form is IN the list of gateways along with paypal and Auth net and the others...
