post your sites URL Kinetic

Hey Paul Styles and Misc section in general settings look for "Source for popular products data:" if you have set popular products data in General settings to Number of Sales it wont show any if you havent made any sales... so set it to number of views... Also in the same section a bit further up in General settings is: "Show Latest Products on homepage?" set that to Yes then you would need to visit any product you wish to show on the home page and set it to yes as well View Products > Edit then look for: Include in latest products in homepage? I hope this clears things up Kinetic

Your code is bogus to start with you have the param outside of where it needs to be and it should also be repeated within the embed as well the object tags are for IE browsers the embed is for firefox when you view source it would of course "change" depending on the BROWSER you are using you can use this code remembering to use the full URL to your swf file (where ever it is located on your site there 2 places you NEED to edit this....) <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="887" height="349" hspace="0" vspace="0" title="Movie"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.yoursite.com/Movie.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="wmode" value="opaque" /> <embed src="http://www.yoursite.com/Movie.swf" width="887" height="349" hspace="0" vspace="0" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque"></embed> </object> this is the old method of embedding flash you realy need to step up to the swfobject.js method (gets rid of the grey rectangle around the flash object in IE If you would like me to do this for you please PM me for my rates Kinetic

ok 1) where and how are you adding the flash embed code? 2) Paste me your embed code Kinetic

depending on how you have embedded your flash you will need a wmode param wmode opaque if you are embedding via the swfobject.js method (reccomended) you would need to add so.addParam("wmode", "opaque"); to the swfobject data if you are embedding with the AC_FL_COntent js way (like from Dreamweaver) you need a <param name="wmode" value="opaque" /> using wmode opaque forces the flash object to the same z index of the browser where as not defining it the flash object isnt actually in the browser so other stuff pop or slide under it If you need further help please PM me for more information Kinetic

only way would be to edit the skins/YOUR SKIN/styleTemplates/content/viewOrder.tpl and add a (Right click and save link as in Firefox or right click and save target as in IE) Sample code: <!-- BEGIN: digital_link --> <br /> [<a href="{VAL_DOWNLOAD_LINK}" class="txtDefault">{LANG_DOWNLOAD_LINK}</a>]<br /> (Right click and save link as in Firefox or right click and save target as in IE) <!-- END: digital_link --> because modern browsers can play MP3's (depending on their plugins) this is what you would have to do it is recommended though you zip the files up... and not modify the viewOrder.tpl

I know Estelle is working on a mod to do exactly this and is due out early november 2008 but thats about all I can say on the CC forum about a 3rd party mod if you know her store Id suggest visiting it and clicking the notify me when available link... Kinetic

Ive had a few clients ask me "Why does the UPS shipping drop down go from highest to lowest? some of our customer just zip thru checkout and dont take a look at the shipping options available to them (dumb I know but people are busy...) Ive even put in big h1 tags "Make sure you Review your Shipping Option before Checking Out!!" right above the shipping drop down (edited /skins/YOURSKIN/styleTemplates/content/cart.tpl) Which still doesnt help and people still get hit with the highest shipping amount offered by the store (usually next day air) So I set about to see if this could be sorted the big problem is that we cant do a order by shippingPrice ASC in a db query because we arent querying our DB for these amounts but rather querying UPS to get their rate quotes for each shipping type we have set to ENABLED In cubeCart Admin >Shipping Methods > UPS I first tried editing: modules/shipping/UPS/calc.php and moving the case sections into the order I wanted (putting GND first which didnt work at all then I looked to modules/shipping/UPS/admin/index.inc.php and reordered the table rows that give us the different shipping types from UPS (putting the GND row first and voila wouldnt ya know it it worked.... UPS Ground became the very first shipping option on the cart side of things when I did a test order Why this worked I still have no clue but it does... Why I tried this: I noticed when I was in admin that the order of the shipping types we had enabled was the same as the order they were in the drop down box for shipping in the cart so I gave it a shot and it worked! Here's the specific steps to follow with code to find and swap Open: /modules/shipping/UPS/admin/index.inc.php To make ground the first one FIND: <tr> <td align="left" class="tdText"><strong>Ground</strong></td> <td class="tdText"><select name="module[productGND]"> <option value="1" <?php if($module['productGND']==1) echo "selected='selected'"; ?>>Enabled</option> <option value="0" <?php if($module['productGND']==0) echo "selected='selected'"; ?>>Disabled</option> </select></td> </tr> and highlight it all and CUT IT (Ctrl+X) then scroll up till you find this: <tr> <td colspan="2" class="tdTitle">UPS Products</td> </tr> PASTE your cut code AFTER the </tr> but BEFORE: <td align="left" class="tdText"><strong>Next Day Air Early AM</strong></td> (I also noticed that next day air early am was missing its opening <tr> so I added it...

This hack was performed on a CCv4.1.1 and a CCv4.2.3 stores and works across the board... Kinetic :yeahhh:

I posted this in the bug tracker and it still doesnt have a fix it hasnt even been assigned anyone to look into it I guess Im going to have to open a ticket Kinetic

Open: language/en/lang.inc.php FIND: 'your_comments' => "Your comments:", REPLACE WITH: 'your_comments' => "Your Gift Tag Message...", There are other instances in the lang.inc.php that show "Customer Comments" that you should change to Gift Tag Message: so that it shows also in the order to the customer and to you as well in admin basically lang.inc.php is the file you want to look at hope this helps Kinetic :)

its just a pink version of the kita blue skin

CCv4.2.3 Ive had this bug as well removing alternate images via Manage Images link is NOT updating the img_idx table in the database when clicking the remove link and not removing the images associated with the product Ive had to manually go into phpmyadmin and remove the rows with the old images by hand seems this really is a bug... a fix would be nice...

yeah most wont even know to do it as the Up and down arrow icons dont appear unless you click the name or prce table header text on a category page but we also get the the silly drop down to sort by on a category page I long for the days when Sir Williams product sort mod was king... CCv4 has bastardized it... also sorting shouldnt refresh the page but it does and adds a string at the end of the URL which could mean search engine problems why isnt Devillion using more AJAX.... huh? cmon brooky get a clue as to how real SEO works...

hell IE 7 is STILL a POS on a stick anyone using IE 8 gets what they deserve still the problem of missing links (Login | Register) is due to the SEFURLs spiders.txt which DOES affect MSN butterfly users along with apparently IE 8 lusers FireFox 3 users UNITE!!! you seamonkey, chrome and safari users can join too... Kinetic they will have to pry my firefox from my cold dead fingers...

ya know the big reason people dont really trust reviews or testimonials anymore is because they can be edited, made up, tweaked etc etc... and yeah the only real way to add them your self and futz with the timestamp is thru phpMyAdmin Kinetic

sounds like your host has the mail() function off try setting your store to use SMTP method

CCv4 allows users to sort by name and price already just have to click the name or price header on a category page that has products

Estelle has a stock levels for product options mod which at first glance you wouldnt think it would help you but it has an interesting feature you can assign a suffix product code or replace the original product code for each option...

Posted a fix here on your OTHER post about the SAME thing http://forums.cubecart.com/index.php?showtopic=36047

open your spiders.txt file find and remove any lines with MSN or MSN bot save the file and re upload it with MSN butterfly or later versions of IE on vista the site thinks you are a spider because of your (crappy browser...) thank you MicroShaft using SEO URLs also has the effect of implementing the spider.txt which will "HIDE" login and register links (Session Killing) spiders cant register or login... goofy but true.... the SEO URLS and session killing for spiders REALLLLLLY NEEDS work... Kinetic

Completely my pleasure! I wish more clients took an interest in making sure their site (whether CubeCart or otherwise) was valid XHTML and valid CSS Best of luck to you and your e-commerce endeavor Kinetic :sourcerer:

yall must be smoking crack because this site looks like 900000 other e-commerce sites out there its not unique it the same hum drum flat boring site the only attempt at creativity was the sessions box and that was executed poorly and looks unfinished and kinda tacked on sad but true...

In your stores admin General settings there is a setting for Use DHTML menu Yes /No... Kinetic :sourcerer:

Ive got a validation customer who has the same problem with the w3c validator spider because the spider is listed in the spiders.txt it wont validate the page (1 error) because of an empty ul and the ul thats empty is the list that contains the login and register links to the spider that ul is empty because of the session killing routine remove the w3c validation spider from the spiders.txt and voila the page validates the session killing routine shouldnt remove the links but rather add a no follow Ive looked thru rukis code for spider_flag and dont really understand whats happening that removes the 2 links but it is annoying as hell Kinetic

Sent you a PM let me know Kinetic :yeahhh:
