Can you please share? I'm guessing its just hidden divs, with Javascript to enable... You've asked in this forum, its polite to share the information so others will find it. Jason

Aha! Check your file is a .csv - some files are comma/tab/space etc delimited. If its csv and your fields are not quoted (ie no quotes around each field), AND descriptions have commas or whatever you use to delimit, that is where you'll have problems. I'm not sure how you're exporting the data (myphpadmin?) but if you can specify quoted fields, it stands a better chance of working. Jason

PHP5 or mySQL5??? Big difference.... I suspect you mean they've moved from PHP4.1 to PHP5 - if they have moved from mySQL4.1 to mySQL5.. I'm not sure of the consequences. Assuming we're talking PHP4/5 The clue is in the error: /var/php_sessions/sess_1de07ec45f08df68b57f708281d197b0, O_RDWR Session data (ie tracking users through the site, and storing variables for their use) is stored in the above directory. It looks like your host hasn't allowed write permissions on /var/php_sessions Send them the error, and they should be able to sort it out. CC4 should work well with PHP5, although not that many hosts are running PHP5 yet.. (my demo is running on PHP4) Hope this helps, Jason

This may be a hosting issue, basically there wasn't enough free memory for what CC needed. However, it may work now - the server may have more free memory (memory is allocated and released all the time) I doubt this is a CC4 issue. If it was trying to allocate very large memory blocks I'd be concerned. You should be able to continue as normal - does the store work? If it keeps happening, contact your host. Send them the error message. If all appears ok, you can ask CC4 to manually recalc the image folder size. I've seen this when working on some code, and was trying to create a google product feed on 5000 products (the default cc3 system was appending strings which will require 2x the string size in memory - I ended up writing line-by-line to a file) Jason

I found your recent post from the 9th - not over a week ago yet... But if you don't get a reply after a few days, it will probably be lost. http://www.cubecart.com/site/forums/index....amp;hl=cubecart The basic answer is "no" (ish) I assume you where asking about CC3. This is free to download and use. You can run a store without parting with any money - so other than time, you have nothing to lose. For most people, its a start, and depending on your needs it can do most of what you need, out of the box. There are many many free mods, tweaks and skins so with basically no financial outlay, you can quite quickly have a great store. Your first question was about categorising documents. If you mean a structured level-based document system, then CubeCart won't do this, and I'm not aware of any mods to do this. Thats not to say it can't be done with some work. Your second question was concerning menus. The standard install has a list of product categories, which you cannot order. The site documents is in a separate list, usually elsewhere on the page. There are free mods to alter the menus - is put the sitedocs into a sidebox. You can easily alter the order of the product categories, via free or commercial mods. You'll have to decide how important the document aspect is - and either be prepared to pay for someone to code something for you, or look at other alternatives. One thing to bear in mind - these forums mainly contain other users, CubeCart staff may make the odd anouncement, and more recently are on hand to assist with the new CC4 product. I'm not too sure if you've read a few posts, but many point "tweak requests" to www.cubecartforums.org This is a 3rd party site, where independant mods/tweaks/skins are traded. I would advise checking it out and perhaps asking for a mod request for your main question. If you can clarify your menu question, you may get a better answer. I hope this is helpful, Jason

I think (not tested), but if you replace $grandtotal with $subTotal in the code you've supplied this should work. Jason

No PM from him, I've offered to chat via Skype/MSN etc. I'd say a few hours with his store would help, and shouldn't cost anything, if he does it himself. I'd personally suggest product titles as H1, use a free skin to improve appearance, seo mod, Google Product submission, Google Sitemap (now a free mod). Jason

How far have you got? Open your csv file in notepad/excel/openoffice calc - you'll need to read the field headers. In the CC4 admin, there is an "Import Catalog" item. Click this, then browse for your .csv file on your local PC. If it is comma separated.. select "comma", otherwise, select what ever is separating the fields. You'll probably have headers (the first line of the file contains the field name). Click "Upload File" You'll then be prompted to match CC4 product fields with your imported fields. These should pretty much match... Things to note: Imported products will be placed into their own category CC3 didn't support BarCodes (unless you've added a mod) This is fairly straight forward, I imported 1600+ products last night (not from CC3, but a suppliers CSV file), worked a treat. If you do have problems, you'll need to post error messages, or be more specific. Jason

Hi Ryan, I've replied to your PM -email me when your available to chat online. Jason

hehe... reminds me of 1995, asking for a cgi-bin all over again.... Hosting has become a commodity market now, many use the same system (cPanel), and so swapping for a new one is fairly painless - apart from DNS.. Jason

It may also be worth running phpinfo() to determine if Zend or ioncube are already installed. Simply upload a file (name it info.php) with the following content; <?php phpinfo(); ?> This info will show up as something like: On this system, I can use Zend or ionCube out of the box. I think there was a rough "system checker" script, which help people know if their server will run V4. Jason

Just to put my 'oar in.. I'm not sure what you're after - CC4 to be free (as in Beer)? Search google for "powered by cubecart" and you'll see why - not that many people pay, but many, many people use it.. To pay wages, insurance, rent, tax, pizza and the other overheads of running even a small software company means that a more secure income stream is needed. You've obviously seen the work thats gone into V4, and I hope you can appreciate the cost of software development, and are not someone that thinks its quick and cheap. I'm a software developer (not web) and the costs can be huge, we're technical people who require a decent salary and sometimes expensive tools to do the job. CC is not developed by a few beardy guys in their spare time. For someone that has not spent any money on a licence, or has not contributed to these forums (apart from your recent comments about the Licence), I don't feel you have a right to complain about the licensing. Of course, you have a right to air these comments, but I don't think you're getting anywhere. You can try the same tact with Microsoft, or who ever supplies software that you pay for. This is like people complaining about the Government without voting or getting involved. The answer? Get your hands dirty - learn to code (ie write your own CC rival), or pay someone to do it for you (or barter to save the tax ) Jason

Its a matter of tweaking the background colour on the style used for the boxes you need altered. Basically, you'll need to view the source code on the page, and search for something inside the box - ie PayPal. You'll find something like <div style="xyz"> or <td style="xyz"> just before the search result. Then, locate /skins/yourskin/stylesheets/style.css Find the style used (ie xyz) and change the background or colour to suit what you need. that should do the trick... You can either do this as webicon says, in the .tpl file (assuming this is the only instance of the problem), or globally in the style.css file. If you've got as far as customising the skin as shown, you should be able to locate the style used. Jason

Notepad (or Notepad++ a free text editor that I recommend), or what ever your fav text editor is.. .tpl files are only text files. Jason

There is a really good documentation project over at www.cubecartforums.org You'll find lots of info there. Jason

Hi, there is no reason why digital downloads would work on one skin only. There are a few things to check: -Do you see a download link in "Your Account" -How are you linking to the file in the product set-up - via the secure method? (ie the file is outside of the store directory strucuture) -Is the order status "processing" following payment. -If its "completed", I'm fairly sure you won't be able to download. The default is 3 downloads in 24 hours. -What path did you set-up in the product set-up? ie /home/youraccount/public_html /downloads or /home/youraccount/downloads Basically, post back with more info. I'm currently working on a digital download store, and didn't have any problems. Getting the path correct is critical, but once you know it, you'll be fine. If you're using PayPal, you really need IPN to be working correctly (something for another thread!). In the meantime, manually set the status to "processing" and that should be ok. Jason

Hi, Jersey Joe has offered the easiest solution- and it looks like you've learnt about about .htaccess :-) Moving the store isn't too painful. As you've got cPanel, before you do anything, create a full account backup. This will pack the entire account into a single file that you can download. (and keep on the server) If it all goes wrong, you can restore from this file. Moving the store is a matter of moving all the files from your subdirectory to the new location, and then editing /includes/global.inc.php (the core CubeCart config file) to point to the new location. There are about 2 or 3 settings (only about 10 lines in the file), which you'll need to tweak, but just remove "shop" for each line should do it. The database does not contain the absolute location of your store, so you don't need to make any changes there. If the move goes wrong, you don't need to delete the database. Remember to make images/uploads and images/uploads/thumbs to 777 permission, otherwise you won't be able to upload images or create thumbnails. Hope this helps, Jason

Hey - I'm a member of CND and Campain against the Arms Trade ;-) No Bombs here! If you get stuck -PM me on either site and I'll hapily point you in the right place. Jason

There is a 3rd party commercial module on cubecartforums.org - I'm pretty sure this will require a SSL on your site. There is a also a"hack" to provide a google checkout payment option in the product page - this might be ok for a simple store. Jason

Glad to hear you're up and running. Interesting that your can see System DSN/ODBC... Thats Windows database stuff.. If you are on Windows Hosting (but have no reason to be), you may want to see if your host will move you to their Linux hosting package. CubeCart and many other PHP/mySQL scripts are much easier to set-up. As I think I've said in another post, the Min order mod is in cubecartforums.org under free mods. Ask the mod author for help if you need installation assistance. Jason

I think a min order mod exists in the free section of Cubecartforums.org ...right now :-) Jason

Cool :-) Happy to help!

Not easy in ACP- perhaps visit cubecartforums.org and request a mod. The "Sale items" are not really a category, but it does use "viewcat.inc.php If you're feeling brave, you can hack this. Back-up your store first!; I have the SEO mod installed, this code is from CC3.0.0.16 - so if you're on different, the code may be in a different place. Edit /includes/content/viewcat.inc.php Around line 234 Find: if(!empty($currentCat[0]['cat_image'])) { $view_cat->assign("IMG_CURENT_CATEGORY","images/uploads/".$currentCat[0]['cat_image']); $view_cat->assign("TXT_CURENT_CATEGORY",validHTML($currentCat[0]['cat_name'])); $view_cat->parse("view_cat.cat_img"); } Add AFTER: elseif($_GET['catId']=="saleItems") { $view_cat->assign("IMG_CURENT_CATEGORY","images/uploads/your image filename.jpg"); $view_cat->parse("view_cat.cat_img"); } Ensure you set the correct filename for your SALE category image, and the above should work fine. The quickest way to do this in ACP, would be to create a category named SALE (or something unique), and alter the code in the viewcat.inc.php to specify that record, this would allow you to select different images easily - but its a bit beyond this forum. Hope this helps, Jason

Hi, Can you supply a URL - or at least the skin you're using/basing your design on? Different skin use different methods- so put it in a <div> as a background image (so you can have overlaid graphics/text), and others use a HTML <img> tag. If you can't see a <img src=".... inside the /skins/yourskin/global/index.tpl, the header image is set-up in layout.css Jason

There is a free mod to provide category descriptions - this may be a quick fix? There are also free mods to require customers agree to your t&c. These can be found on cubecartforums.org
