For anyone that is interested, this is the popup code I added: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/...indow/index.htm

That would do too - many thanks, i'll do some searching there.

Yes, but this is a DHTML popup - so a bit different, and most popup blockers don't block them. They work a bit differently from regular popups. Thanks for that by the way - it worked fine.

Quick question, I want to add some HTML which is executed on each CC3 page - would the best place to put this be in the global index.tpl for my skin? In case you are interested - the code I want to add in is just a DHTML popup which gives customers some special information regarding my store whenever they come in. Thanks,

Is there a way or a mod to print all the packing lists for orders in a 'processing' state? This would make life alot easier than going into each order and printing them out for picking. Thanks

No, actually 3.0.10 - my site is fairly modified, so I really don't feel like upgrading If I upgrade, it will be to v4.

Which cookie keeps the session information for what is in the shopping cart, and is it possible to lower the expiry time for this - to say 4 hours? If so, how? Thanks,

Yes, i've done that, but the cart is sending the payment as USD - and then paypal rejects it as i've told it not to accept US$. The customer gets a pissed off and buys elsewhere. The problem is that if the price is £29.99 - the cart sends the payment request to paypal as $29.99 - with todays exchange rate that is half the price! I made some mods which essentially FORCE the currency to GBP - but for some reason this is still happening. I can't explain it at all. Check this thread http://www.cubecart.com/site/forums/index....showtopic=25533

I too am having this problem - what version are you on?

Right - even after making this change, i've had another customer with the same problem. The problem definatley seems to happen when the customer has something in their cart, and comes in sometime later to complete the payment (possibly days later). I really would like to get to the bottom of this!

Has there been any investigation into supporting OpenID in CubeCart 4? http://openid.net/ Aris

I did some investigatin myslef. It would appear that if the transfer.inc.php module does not send a currency_code value, then PayPal defaults to USD. So i'm thinking - there is a bug somewhere where the currency does not get sent for some reason. Perhaps some other fields do not get sent either - i've not been able to reproduce it myself, i'm just guessing. Anyhow, as a hack, I hard coded PayPal to GBP - which is fine for me since that is all I accept. So, under modules/gateway/PayPal edit file 'transfer.inc.php Change this line: <input type='hidden' name='currency_code' value='".$config['defaultCurrency']."' / To this: <input type='hidden' name='currency_code' value='GBP' / I'm not even sure if this will do anything good or bad - I did a test transaction and it seemed to go through fine. YMMV - any comments welcome. If this does not work for you or you lose sales - please no complaints to me! :huh:

I think I can see a pattern here and how to reproduce. I'm on 3.0.10. When a customer chooses paypal as their payment method, the payment fails, and then they go back to pay _again_ - then the currency appears to come through as US$. I've lost a few sales because of this - and it is quite annoying. I don't suppose it is possible anyone will investigate to fix this?

It is a bit disappointing that there is no upgrade discount. While CC4 does look nice, it does not offer _that_ much more in functionality. At least not enough to push me to upgrade right away.

Any progress on this?

Is there a comprehensive or even a tentative feature list for version 4 yet?

Any chance of the PayOffline module in 3.0.17 working on previous versions - in particular, 3.0.10? Aris

Bump - any ideas? Can someone tell me if there is a way to debug SQL issues?

I use Vidahost in the UK - very good service indeed! As for the previous posters assertion that geo-located searches do not make a different for the UK - disagree. Go to www.google.co.uk, and click on the 'pages from the uk' button and search - that is where having a UK hosted server comes into play.

Paypal's charges are actually very very competetive at high volumes - even compared to a traditional merchant account.

I tried to edit customer details on 3.0.10 - and got an error: Failed to update customer. Customers are able to edit their own details - just not me as an admin. Can give me some pointers in how to debug this? If it were a database access issue - surely the customer would not be able to do this either. Any one else have this issue?

An update. I got a mail from Google (who actually visited the site!) to say that we did not comply with their Google Checkout terms and conditions - BUT we could still process transactions - we just would not have the 'Google Checkout' badge on our Google Adwords. I'm OK with that - and when CC 3.1 comes out, hopefully things will be better integrated to fully support Google Checkout. So far though - no Google Checkout payments. I think it will take time for it to catch on.

I've implemented Google Checkout using the gateway module referenced on cubecart.org - it seems to work OK. Some lingering doubts though - reading the Google Checkout help & implementation pages - it seems that google checkout is meant to replace your checkout completley - i.e. you do not take any personal details from the customer - and the google checkout is meant to sit next to the standard 'checkout' button on your site - not sit side-by side next to a payment processor like PayPal. Anyhow - i've got it installed and it appears to work - if Google complain, then i'll need to re-investigate this as i see integration being a fairly substantial modification if it is to replace the checkout - it may mean an upgrade to CC 3.1 - or even another cart. By the way - i'm using a shared SSL for the callback script if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the info. Hosting in the US is a false economy though - in particular for geo-located google searches. I host in the UK for this reason - when someone does a google search limited to the UK, my ranking is higher than a US hosted site. Yes, you pay a bit more and get a bit less on UK hosts - but this one factor makes it worthwhile. I've asked my host if they might implement a shared SSL cert for such purposes. I see no reason why this would not work if it is not limited to a particular domain.

The unfortunate thing with this is that it adds an added expense to stores - first you need to buy a signed key (from a reputable CA) - then (particularly for shared hosting) may need to pay extra yearly fee to use this key on your site. This is possibly up to £100 expense which may not be worth it for the smaller online shops.
