  1. simple answer... sompe people dont ever intend to actually complete their order by going thru the gateway and they abandon their cart before going to linkpoint As to why Cubecart creates an order before they go thru the gateway the answer is: Cubecart has to have the order in the DB for it to be able to update it with the response from the gateway and set it to processing or if denied or abandoned remain at pending
  2. whose contact form mod are you using? you should contact them about the mods non working issues
  3. I had no problem registering with your store logging out or logging back in try dumping your cache and cookies and doing the forgot password function
  4. If you have created all your product color options and attributes then assign all the options to one product you can then do a Quick Assign of that inital product to each of the other products one at a time from the product options screen its not abatch add but it is much faster than assign say 5 color options to each product more of a clone job... the quick assign is at the top of the product options screen if you have already assigned some options to all your products simply remove it all from all but one then use that one to quick assign the full option set Kinetic
  5. post the error about fck editor also make sure ALL file folder permissions were set correctly after your server move read the install doc for proper folder and file permissions (chmod 777)
  6. Have you looked in Admin general settings? you will find the global meta description and meta keyword fields there then you should look at your site doc and home page edit sections page titles for those are there as well then you just need to set page title and meta information for each category and product in view categories and view products and edit each one page titles will pick up the doc, category, product name you dont need to edit any "source" to do any of this just take a good look around in admin.... every single type of page: home page, site doc, category, product page has fields for meta description, meta keywords and page title
  7. Funny I have always found CubeCart support to be timely, knowledgeable, helpful, paitient, and there when ya need them? How have they failed you? can you be specific? It does help support and others on the forum if you are very specific and descriptive... ;)
  8. Or use my favorite WSFTP PRo by Ipswitch in any event you need to have a FTP client program to upload zip fuiles to a downloads folder you make on the same level as your site root so the downloads are only accessible from within the cubecart system then give cubecart the path to the file /home/yourAcctName/downloads/mycoolfile.zip You can always google FTPing and different ftp clients Kinetic
  9. CubeCart 4 has google analytics built in you simply need to place your id number from google int he field provided in General settings and make sure you set your google analytics acct to use the new ga.js method not the legacy urchin We are using this method in all of my v4 clients and all of them are tracking data properly...
  10. delete your cookies and authenticated sessions and if you are saving passwords clear those too from your browser THEN try logging in
  11. well it says you changed the info... you should probably changed it back...
  12. Something in the code for the category table rows is wrong if one of your mods asked you to modify that viewCat.tpl or added a new viewCat.tpl some where like some of Estelles mods do you would need to contact the mod author for a fix Ive seen this with her wishlist/gift registry mod (extra rows or messed up tables in viewCat) but only in IE6 Kinetic
  13. what version of CubeCart are you running? Upgrading to 4.3 for us was a breeze and well worth it in getting all their v3 mods upgraded to v4 versions btw captcha was originally a 3rd party mod and has now become standardized in cube cart as well SEO URLs and many more CubeCart does its core developments and doesnt steal 3rd party developers code and just make it standard to they let the 3rd party developers make a buck or two and if the mod is deemed a must have then usually cubecart will make a deal with them and make it standard this is pretty much standard practice for any system out their you can download install and set up social networks, multiple shoppoing carts, forums including vBulletin I believe they have 3rd party developers? selling mods? providing tweaks hacks and annoyances relief? I personally LOVE CubeCart 3rd party developers and dont mind buying their modifications and extending CubeCart I love writing my own hacks and tweaks and share them w/o 3rd party developers a feature or request or feature request would take longer to be developed letting other coders write their mods opens up development much faster and much broader a single team of even skilled individuals will never come up with the same volume of mods as a broad based open source network and have them as stable quicker...
  14. At least I dint call anyone no names... well I called myself a twit but never did I resort to using bad language not calling anyone names and provided a solution as well and I only said I find it funny... If you are so good with e-commerce and have tried all these things (although I bet you didnt apply the fixes I provided in reg.inc.php...) because I know they work and dont much care for CubeCart nor its customers of which Im one and love to call them twits and you have so much professional EXPERIENCE how come you act so badly on this forum? liek you are some big shot and deserve better treatment than anyone else? you have CubeCart 4? you paid for a license? how come you havent submitted a bug report or a ticket? the developers at cubecart are helpful and usually will go above and beyond to help customers especially when its so simple a tweak my goodness I do must get back to my low volume clients Kinetic
  15. Sir William the "human Checker" you did for my clients dealer locator was a much better use of captcha, a simple captcha thats hard for bots and only makes the human do it once per session or even via a cookie is cool. With CubeCarts new 4.3 using reCaptcha which allows for visually impaired users to have an audio cue and helps reCaptchas project in scanning in old hard to read text and (each captcha solved helps them sort out what the badly damaged or smeared text is as alot of the documents reCaptcha scans are very old and sometimes very hard to read scanners can only be taught to "guess" so well and humans can do it much easier with greater accuracy). Ive also found reCaptcha's puzzles to be somewhat loose which is good if it is really hard to make it out on the second word it will accept a broader range of right answers and includes as with any good captcha, a way to refresh and get a new puzzle.
  16. Open /includes/content/reg.inc.php FIND: $spamCode = fetchSpamCode($_POST['ESC'], true); REPLACE WITH: // $spamCode = fetchSpamCode($_POST['ESC'], true); FIND: } elseif($config['floodControl']==true && (!isset($_POST['spamcode']) || ($spamCode['SpamCode']!==strtoupper($_POST['spamcode'])) || (get_ip_address()!==$spamCode['userIp']))) { $errorMsg = $lang['reg']['error_code']; REPLACE WITH: /*} elseif($config['floodControl']==true && (!isset($_POST['spamcode']) || ($spamCode['SpamCode']!==strtoupper($_POST['spamcode'])) || (get_ip_address()!==$spamCode['userIp']))) { $errorMsg = $lang['reg']['error_code'];*/ FIND: if($config['floodControl']==1) { $spamCode = strtoupper(randomPass(5)); $ESC = createSpamCode($spamCode); $imgSpambot = imgSpambot($ESC); $reg->assign("VAL_ESC",$ESC); $reg->assign("TXT_SPAMBOT",$lang['reg']['spambot']); $reg->assign("IMG_SPAMBOT",$imgSpambot); $reg->parse("reg.spambot"); } REAPLCE WITH: /*if($config['floodControl']==1) { $spamCode = strtoupper(randomPass(5)); $ESC = createSpamCode($spamCode); $imgSpambot = imgSpambot($ESC); $reg->assign("VAL_ESC",$ESC); $reg->assign("TXT_SPAMBOT",$lang['reg']['spambot']); $reg->assign("IMG_SPAMBOT",$imgSpambot); $reg->parse("reg.spambot"); }*/ Save, CLose , reUpload /includes/content/reg.inc.php You can also remove or comment out the spambot section in your /skins/YOUR SKIN/styleTemplates/content/reg.tpl the section starting with: <!-- BEGIN: spambot --> and closes with <!-- END: spambot --> not bad for a twit...
  17. Im a twit? at least i know how to remove the captcha from the reg.tpl and reg.inc.php so that theres no captcha for registration if that makes me a twit then At least im a smarter twit than you and you evidently didnt read what I wrote or what anyone else wrote and Ill say it a again not one of my many clients has ever stated the captcha on the reg forms was inhibiting sales or signups and I have a client who has done nearly half a million in sales in 3 years... with captcha on and yes I know turning it off in admin turns it off everywhere... but at least Id look to commenting it out and disabling it in the files responsible for it in the place you dont want it BEFORE I went on a forum and started whining.... open up some files and start reading code... Kinetic :(
  18. Why doesnt it work? Have you turned it on from General settings in CCv4? have you set any products to YES show in latest products on home page? Kinetic Why do people never look in General Settings...
  19. Pending orders occurs for a few reasons 1) They select print order form and you will know if its a valid print order form by looking at the order and looking to the gateway Used Print order form orders need for you to WAIT to do ANYTHING with the order until you recieve a check or money order 2) They used a different gateway (Again check the gateway used in the order) and had troubles and the gateway didnt report back (paypal ipn) 3) they got thru most of the check out process but didnt actually submit payment of any kind or abandoned their cart (this is the number one cause for pending orders orders are ALL pending till they have been updated by the gateway an order has to to be added to the DB and set to pending in order for the gateway to let you know (and set to processing) if their payment was successful if the customer abandons the cart before this is done you get a pending order if they never even selected a gateway you get a pending order some people say why not stop the adding of the order as soon as cubecart does it? again so the gateway has something to update (fail or success) when the customer does try to pay ALL store owners should double check ANY and ALL payments thru all gateways they are using before fulfilling an order and shipping it out or giving the download away... do not skip this STEP!!! If your checking has determined that you are either waiting on a check or money order or that they might have had trouble by all means use the order section and notes to customer to ask: "We see that you tried to make a purchase at our lovely store but did not complete it. Would like us to cancel it or do you need assistance with this purchase?" Pending orders processing orders Check for actual payment at the gateway provider Pending orders check what gateway was used if print order form wait a while to see if the check or money order comes in Hope this helps ;)
  20. Noticed it was your birthday... Heres you a delicious Pink frosting covered doughnut... agggghhhhhhhhh fraaawwwstteeeeng.... Kinetic ;)
  21. for v4.3 (which you failed to state but Im assuming at least v4 from the forum you posted in) open language/en/orders.inc.php you will see an array of order status and order status descriptions you can or edit these making sure if you add or delete any that you have a number in order at the end for both order state and order state description currently its 1 - 6 for each Hope this helps Kinetic ;)
  22. Yes See the cubecartforums.org about bulk import or bulk product mods as with an affiliate or vendor you can usually get a csv or comma separated value data file you can use with some judicious modification and prep it for use witih cubeCart removing columns supplied by the affiliate feed or adding neccessary cubecart columns and injecting it with a single click into the store and if the affiliate supplies you with a feed that contains the URLs to the product photos a bulk import mod would be able to grab those as well and save them to your stores images/uploads folder and generate thumbs. hope this helps you find what you need Kinetic
  23. Funny I had NO problem upgrading one of my clients from v3.0.12 to 4.3 not manually but using the upgrade instructions we did have to re install v4 versions of any of the many mods he had on his store but thats to be expected no errors no problems and didnt lose a single byte of data upgrading is neccessary doing it right and with Proper BACKUPs is mandatory following it step by step and NOT being in a hurry are highly recommended.... Getting someone who KNOWs what they are doing to do it for you ABSOLUTELY the best option
  24. Well ya wouldnt have to use junky old frames and if ya start with someone who knows cubecart and can design a custom skin for you and teach ya about using Cubecart you wont ever regret leaving Crappy zen cart in the dust Even if you didnt do it properly and get professional help to launch your e-commerce (you would be insane not to) e-commerce isnt for the weak the timid or the broke... If you are a smart person cubecart makes it easy on ya and is well thought out, easy to mod, easy to skin (uses Xtemplate system) and there are tons od add ons and and lots of help here inthe forums as well as good FAQs and knowledgeable helpful foplks who own stores and or do stores for clients (Like me) In either case no matter which way you go CubeCart over Zen Cart? CubeCart wins hands down Kinetic ;)
  25. Id look in any of the files mentioned in the warnings for blank lines at the beginning or end of the file or any you have edited php files should start and END with <?php (start) or ?> (end) a blank line will be parsed so you get the headers already sent errors remove any blank line at the begining so it starts witht he <?php or remove any blank lines from the end so the file ends with ?> Kinetic
