Like I said above your products may be hats jackets and shirts but with 20,000 logos it might be better to make the logos the products then make the shirt, hats, jackets shirt or jacket color the product options create logo categories create a product for each logo with hat jacket and shirt options (as well as size)

I would break down your products by the different logo categories then when they select a Logo the options would be for hat or shirt and color estelle also has a visual product options mod you can look up on the 3rd party forum with 20,000 logos you got to break it down to manageable categories By logo and logo types whether the logo they want is going on a shirt jacket or hat is moot and simply another product option Hope this helps

Hi Kinetic, cool fix. Now my store is in a sub folder. I see that will work if I if I got to my root url off 'jammaboards.com', it will then forward me to 'www.jammaboards.com/store' ... However, if for some reason the customer goes directly into my shop by entering 'jammaboards.com/store' then the 'www' will still be missing. I'm not sure how to do this, but is it possible to change that htaccess code somehow to only re-route someone if they go to my store subfolder at 'jammaboards.com/store' to 'www.jammaboards.com/store'? I hope I wrote that down right and it makes sense. Thanks! -Tim Tim the htaccess code as I have it written for a sub folder store SHOULD (and does in every store Ive updated with it) will redirect to the store with the www. jammaboards.com/store will get you www.jammaboards.com/store going to jammaboards.com/ will only redirect to www.jammaboards.com/ you will notice subtle difference between your original code and mine the $1 is left off my code on the redirect section as this cause problems on the redirect actually working also this htaccess file should be the one in the store folder not site root the one that comes with the SEO mod by ruki edit it like I have shown and re upload to the /store/ folder try it...

So much for engrish lessons... /style/Templates/boxes/categories.tpl or open /style/Templates/boxes/siteDocs.tpl or visit the 3rd party forum and look for the gri links mod

Note to moderators... perhaps this post should be pinned? Kineitc

I would get the cubecart download from here and start from scratch fantastico install are notorious for being behind in versions and screwing up the install in other words get your cubecart from the source and install it properly

Ok this issue is definetly caused by entering a cubecart site with out the www then when a customer visits their cart they are directed to the same domain but with the www Heres the FIXEs In my htaccess I added the code thusly (we are Using the SEO mod) Original code in rukis seo mod htaccess file this fix will work on sites with SSL installed that use their www.domainame.com as the FQDN on the certificate if you are using shared SSL (not reccomended EVER) or your FQDN for your SSL certificate is a subdomain ie. secure.mycoolstore.com I would hesitate and caution you to NOT use this fix...

Ok I got CC 4 beta 2.1 installed on my server with NO PROBLEMS unless you count having to get the ion cube loader and having to chmod my stores root to 777 so a license key file could be written (this should be added to the Install read me as part of step 4) and prices wont hide at all but the install was flawless hiding prices shouldnt be hard to fix I will be playing with the store over this next week and working out a new skin and making products and playing with all the scrumptious new features hats off to Brooky and Sir William and the other CC 4 developers nice Job M8s!

my question is why hasnt this been updated in the 3.0.16 download? at least it wasnt up till a few days ago...

open includes/content/reg.inc.php FIND || empty($_POST['phone']) and delete it FIND } elseif(!ereg("[0-9]",$_POST['phone'])) { $errorMsg = $lang['front']['reg']['enter_valid_tel']; and delete it save close and reupload includes/content/reg.inc.php open includes/content/profile.inc.php FIND || empty($_POST['phone']) and delete it FIND } elseif(!ereg("[0-9]",$_POST['phone'])) { $errorMsg = $lang['front']['reg']['enter_valid_tel']; and delete it save close and reupload includes/content/profile.inc.php this will remove the requirement for phone field

your home page image is 357pixels wide by 600pixels tall so its the aspect of it thats made it so big (if you dont know what preserve aspect ratio means then this wont help you) your settings allow for this image to be uploaded so resize it in photoshop BEFORE you upload it images on the web need to be prepped before being put on a site and their size determined by the image editor and the DPI set to 72 your category images are way too big for your center content area (cat images should be small icons) yours are 200 and 222 pixels wide in a space (the boxContent class) thats only 395 pixels wide and has padding and spacing eating up some of that 395pixels do the math... the category images ARE TOO BIG.... so of course they are going to overlap

check the body class in layout.css and the boxContent class in layout.css layout.css being in your skins/YourSkinNAme/styleSheets/ add the color: #whatever to either or both these classes

heres what I use to fix transparency in pngs when users visit using IE6 http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/pnghowto.htm gifs have no problems in IE 6 pngs have no troubles in IE 7 so visit this site and gave a gander this only works if the image (a png) has a width and height defined in the img src no joy for css backgrounds that are pngs unless you use the css class for transparency and that is a totally different animal...

I use WinMerge on PC and love it dont know if they have a port for macs though might be handy if I used my macs for more than checking my developed sites on Safari and Firefox for macs

do you see this part? Invoice : 070618-143705-9834 thats your ORDER ID for that ORDER... everything on your store as far as sales go are based off that order ID not a product code (that wouldnt be smart because a customer might buy SEVERAL items from you... every order has its own UNIQUE order ID if you login to your stores admin theres a quick search for order IDs copy that from your invoice from Auth net into the quick search... and voila! you will see that orders DETAILS... amount, shippping, payment method, customers address, etc etc etc.... Hope this helps... Kinetic

Well I got an actual reply from "Allan" at MSN and here it is and my response Hello Steve, Thank you for writing to the MSN Explorer Support Team. This is Allan and I understand that you develop e-commerce sites for your clients using a shopping cart system called cubecart. But the Register and Login links are not visible when you try to access them through MSN Explorer. I understand the importance of your concern and I will be glad to assist you. Steve, this issue is usually caused by the high settings that you have in Internet Explorer (IE). In order to address this issue let us try to optimize Internet Explorer. Before we proceed, let me first explain to you the significance of this process. Since IE is one of the major components of the MSN software, there are some MSN settings that are still dependent on it. If in case this was configured to high settings, several conflicts may occur within MSN Explorer. In order to avoid this from happening, we need to optimize IE. 1. Click ‘Start’, ‘Run’ then type: ‘iexplore’ (without apostrophes) 2. Click ‘Tools’, ‘Internet Options’ 3. On the General tab, click a. 'Delete' under Browsing history section b. 'Delete all' c. 'Yes' 4. Under Security, click ‘Internet’, ‘Default Level’, then ‘Apply’ 5. Click ‘Privacy’, ‘Default’, then ‘Apply’ 6. Under Advanced, click a. ‘Restore advanced settings' b. 'Restore Internet Explorer settings' c. 'Apply' then 'OK' If the issue remains, then please provide us with the exact version of MSN Explorer that you use. To determine the version, please follow these steps: Option 1: a. Open MSN and sign in. b. Right-click on the MSN butterfly icon in the notification area or systems tray (near the clock). c. Click on ‘System Information’ or ‘About MSN’. d. The MSN software version is listed next to MSN Internet Access or MSN Client in the list of components. Option 2: a. Open MSN and sign in. b. Click on ‘Help and Settings’. c. Click on ‘About MSN’. d. The MSN software version is listed in the upper portion. Option 3: a. Right click on the butterfly icon you see on your desktop. b. Click on the ‘Properties’ button c. Under the Shortcut tab, please click on ‘Find Target’ d. On the MSNCoreFiles window, locate ‘MSN6/MSN’ (without the quotations). A butterfly icon represents it. e. Once found, please right click on it and then select on ‘Properties’. f. On the MSN6/MSN Properties window, please click on the ‘Version’ tab. g. The numbers across the ‘File Version’ is the MSN Software version installed in your computer. h. Click on ‘Cancel’ to close the window. We appreciate the opportunity of providing you assistance. Have a great day! Sincerely, Allan MSN Explorer Support My reply: Allan, I have done as you directed and reset my Internet explorer settings to the default settings and visited several of my clients CubeCart based websites using MSN Explorer 7.02.0011.2700 and the issue STILL remains, the text links for CubeCart Login and Register are removed... My Internet explorer settings were set to a medium level before I followed your directions and Internet explorer 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254 has no problems of this nature... the links REMAIN visible... It is only MSN Explorer that has issues and serious ones at that because if a browser removes simple text links that allows my clients customers to login or register to their site(s) it interferes with these sites ability to do business and make sales. and as a result this could cost my clients money... Again Ill repeat ONLY MSN explorer is having issues IE 6, IE 7, Firefox 2.0.0.4, on my PCs and FireFox and Safari and IE 5.2 on my Macs have no issues and display these text links properly Best Regards, We shall see what "Allan"'s next reply is and as far as flaming and bashing MSN "Butterfly" it is pointless We all KNOW it is a POS browser but the fact of the matter is PEOPLE DO USE it and far more than you might think and if these people choose to use it and cannot access your clients or your own stores websites and be able to login or register which completely interferes with our customers being able to buy from us the issue is a serious one... so lets refrain from remarks that serve no purpose here and the purpose here IS for MSN to take note and make changes or we shall have to take more serious action as a group of business owners and web developers to ensure the ease of use of buying online via a cubecart based shopping cart website. Kinetic

Ive contacted MSn about this issue and here is what I sent I develop e-commerce sites for my clients using a shopping cart system called cubecart. one of my clients is a MSN Internet subscriber and told me that on her new site using MSN Explorer the Register and Login links were not visible so I loaded up MSN explorer on my machine and sure enough any site using cubecart (PHP and Mysql based system) the Login and Register links were removed. nothing else on these sites were removed or messed up just the login and register links. simple text links just plain gone and display fine in IE 6 or 7 or in Firefox or safari. In MSN explorer? nope, nothing, nada... Can MSN explain to me so I can explain to my client why her internet service provider (MSN) and the MSN browser that she uses removes these links from cubecart based websites... if you care to see this oddity in action please visit http://www.xxxxxxxx.com using MSN explorer and then use IE 7 there should be a "Welcome! Would you like to: [Login or Register] ? Links at the very top of the page and will be visible in IE but not MSN explorer Best Regards, We will see what if anything MSN responds to me with and I will post their answer here for all to see Kinetic

Ive just recently run into this problem as well as one of my CC clients uses MSN crappy Butterfly browser (Its IE but with a new skin and lots of ways for MSN to spy on you and your online habits) the login and register links are simply removed... the rest of the site displays completely perfect almost all XP installs have MSN browser installed already but you have to go thru like 6 pages of setup to be able to use the browser but any cubecart site ive done or know of when viewing in MSNs lobotomized browser the register and login links are removed how is this even poossible? why would it remove it? they are jsut text links nothing else in the store(s) Ive checked is removed or edited by the browser so why our login and register links? MSN needs to get a clue and yes few people over all in the grand worldwide scheme of things actually use MSN's browser but there are actually of alot of people using it and this isssue needs to be resolved some how Kinetic

PostAffiliate pro is an excellent program having said that it DOES REQUIRE YOU to read the documentation that Quality Unit Provides you MUST read and understand Postaffiliate pro to make good use of it otherwise it will do you no good... PAP is a LARGE program and does alot of things and has alot of settings not knowing what you are doing will just frustrate you so read the docs PostAffiliatePro is SEPARATE application with AlanTs module making it easier to integrate into CubeCart stores Read the DOCs!!! and you will be cookin with gas Kinetic

these both look like the classic skin with just a background image change and some minor css changes so it just looks like cubecart...

you did not follow the manual upgrade instructions for 3.0.13 section b b. Run the following sql commands using a tool such as phpMyAdmin Replace {PREFIX} with your store tables prefix if you have one. ALTER TABLE `{PREFIX}CubeCart_admin_users` ADD `failLevel` INT( 1 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `blockTime` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `lastTime` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'; CREATE TABLE `{PREFIX}CubeCart_blocker` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `browser` text NOT NULL, `ip` varchar(15) NOT NULL, `username` varchar(50) NOT NULL, `blockTime` int(10) NOT NULL default '0', `blockLevel` int(1) NOT NULL default '0', `loc` char(1) NOT NULL, `lastTime` int(10) NOT NULL, KEY `id` (`id`) ) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=1; you need to inject the new table via phpmyadmin MANUALLY

you didnt upgrade your database with the new table for blocktime b. Run the following sql commands using a tool such as phpMyAdmin Replace {PREFIX} with your store tables prefix if you have one. ALTER TABLE `{PREFIX}CubeCart_admin_users` ADD `failLevel` INT( 1 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `blockTime` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', ADD `lastTime` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'; CREATE TABLE `{PREFIX}CubeCart_blocker` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `browser` text NOT NULL, `ip` varchar(15) NOT NULL, `username` varchar(50) NOT NULL, `blockTime` int(10) NOT NULL default '0', `blockLevel` int(1) NOT NULL default '0', `loc` char(1) NOT NULL, `lastTime` int(10) NOT NULL, KEY `id` (`id`) ) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=1;

didja follow the upgrade instructions and add the new table to the database?
