    Someone Please Help, Paypal Setup

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    I forgot to uncheck a box. It is working, but I am still interested in doing the PayPal Direct & Express. Is this possible?

    Great, glad to hear you're up and running.

    PayPal direct and express is possible, but you'll need a merchant account and possibly a SSL certificate on your store.

    I'd advise you to back-up your store now - as things are running correctly.

    I've not looked too closely at PayPals other offerings- so can't give any direct advice.

    Error At Confirmed Page

    in Technical Help

    Notting,

    this may be due to a session issue. You add to basket in one domain, but the returned url is not the same (its probably missing www due to cubecart set-up)

    Log in to your admin section, and click the StoreHome link.

    Run your test purchase from there and see how you get on.

    If all is ok, then you need to edit /includes/global.inc.php and place a www before your store domain.

    so, http://vipparrot.com becomes http://www.vipparrot.com

    Someone Please Help, Paypal Setup

    Hi Jo,

    The easiest way forward, is to go for PayPal Standard.

    Enable this in CubeCart, and for the time being, ensure IPN is switched OFF.

    Set the email address in CubeCart to match your primary PayPal email address (some people have more than one)

    Disable any other PayPal gateways.

    On your PayPal profile:

    -Postage Calculations>allow transaction-based postage values to override the profile postage settings listed above (Tick ON)

    -Instant Payment Notification Preferences>Edit>UNTICK

    -Website Payment Preferences>AutoReturn>ON, and set your store URL in the return URL (the store overrides this anyway, but PayPal needs something there)

    -Website Payment Preferences>Payment Data Transfer>OFF

    -Website Payment Preferences>Encrypted Website Payments>OFF

    -Website Payment Certificates>None.

    That *should* work..

    Create a 0.01p/$ product and enable free shipping. Try a test purchase.

    Report back here - or post your URL and I'll be happy to test it for you.

    There may be one or two things more to do, but we'll get this bit working first.

    Hi,

    which version of PayPal are you using?

    There is:

    PayPal IPN

    PayPal Standard

    PayPal Express

    (and probably a few others I've forgotten! lol)

    You will be able to export your products via CSV, and most other shopping carts should allow you to import using this system. Some fields will be different, so it won't be a quick and painless move- unless they explicitly mention CubeCart import.

    Please post back with a bit more info on PayPal, and I'm sure we'll get it cracked - which will be quicker and cheaper than starting again with a new cart.

    Changing The Text Style

    in Customising Look & Feel

    Posted

    Hi Ash,

    the style you need to tweak is prodInfo in style.css

    The cat description mod will need a template (.tpl) file tweaked.

    Double, check the instructions, and you'll see that you should edit /skins/yourskin/styletemplates/content/viewcat.tpl

    You probably installed the mod before you added the skin- and so the new skin doesn't have the tweak.

    Easy mistake, and I've done it lots of times... :blink:

    Nice looking site btw!

    Ver 3 Cube Cart

    Z,

    this is mainly due to the skin you've selected.

    Skins are all template driven, so if you like the skin you're using, but want the categories in a box, this is possible (with some technical work).

    In the first instance, select a different skin in the Admin>General Settings

    In case you are not aware, there is a big market in 3rd party skins, and there are also some very good free ones. Vist www.cubecartforums.org for more info - or seach google for cubecart skins

    Changing The Text Style

    in Customising Look & Feel

    Posted

    Hmm, well, most things are styled using CSS.

    View the source of the page, and search for the price as it appears on the page ie £15.99

    You'll see the text, but just before that, something that will set the style.

    This may be inherited by the <div> or possibly a <span>, but CSS is the way to go. - if you share your URL, I'll tell you the style to change.

    add my logo

    in Customising Look & Feel

    Posted

    Ok, it looks like the logo is part of the page background. You should have got some design files with the Skin which will have the green ball, but without the "Company Logo tm" words shown.

    If not, I'd advise you to contact the skin designer and ask for these files. The worst case, is that you'll have to rebuild it using a graphics editor...

    The logo is part of the header background. I'd advise overwriting the existing files (make a backup first!), with your new design.

    The files will be in:

    /skins/Project X V1.0/styleimages/backgrounds

    (probably!)

    I think you need to contact the skin designer for help if you're having problems. I'm sure they will be able to help.

    Ash,

    you'll have to read up on CSS (style sheets) to make full use of this.

    The Price uses a style called "prodPrice"

    Edit /skins/yourskin/stylesheets/style.css

    Locate the prodPrice style and you should be able to work out how to make it bigger/different colour etc.

    Post back if you have problems.

    CubeCart uses 2 main css files, Layout and Style, there is some crossover, but mainly one changes the look, the other moves things around :-)

    Search Criteria And Stock Level

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    Hi,

    Please back-up your store before doing any editing.

    You'll need to edit /includes/content/viewCat.inc.php

    Find:

    $like .= "(name LIKE '%".$searchArray[$i]."%' OR description LIKE '%".$searchArray[$i]."%' OR productCode LIKE '%".$searchArray[$i]."%') OR ";
    



Replace it with:



    $like .= "(name LIKE '%".$searchArray[$i]."%' ";

    This will only search the product name (Title) field of the database.

    If the item's stock level reaches Zero, the store will not alert you.

    I think there is a 3rd party mod to do this, Google may help, otherwise visit www.cubecartforums.org

    Anyone For Hire To Do An Upgrade From 3.0.10 To 3.1?

    in Install & Upgrade Support

    Posted

    Hi,

    I assume you mean CCv3.0.10 to CCv4.0.x? (there is no CCv3.1)

    Gift Certs are available in V4.

    The 3rd party mods may have V4 equivalents, or the functionality may be built into V4. Failing that, you'll need to ask the original mod author if they plan to update.

    I also note the store has a custom skin, this will need converting to V4.

    I advise you to ask for quotes in www.cubecartforums.org, there is a section for asking for paid help.

    Whoever you use, check their CC4 experience and what stores they have converted in the past.

    The basics of moving products and orders etc will be handled by the CC4 installer, but I'd be a bit concerned about the mods and skin you've got.

    Trying To Set Up Cybersource

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    Hi Nina,

    aha :-) All becomes clear!

    Ok, CyberSource is a payment processor. For small (ie <$3Million turnover) they use Authorise.net (which they now own)

    CubeCart has an Authorise.Net gateway already installed. I don't think you need to do anything with the file provided by your bank.

    There are 2 different ways to use Authorise.Net:

    -Advanced Integration Method (AIM): customer pays on your Web site. You will need a SSL certificate on your site, which will cost a little bit extra, but the customer will never leave your store.

    -Server Integration Method (SIM): customer pays on Authorize.Net Web site, you don't need to get a SSL certificate, but customers will leave your store to complete the payment.

    Looking at the CubeCart setup, you'll need to enter your Merchant ID, and then the Transaction ID (supplied from the Authorise.Net site)

    I don't have any experience with using Authorise.Net, although you may find some of the previous posts helpful, but searching this specific forum (Payment GateWay Support)

    I see you've used a 3rd Party Skin - you may be able to get some advice from them, or get them to set-up Authorise.Net for you.

    Obviously, post back if you need help, and we'll help as much as possible.

    Trying To Set Up Cybersource

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    Hi,

    I'm sorry, your message doesn't make much sense. I'll try to answer what I think your question is..

    You've found CubeCart via CyberSource/Authorize.net. They have a Dreamweaver plug-in for their real-time processing services.

    You can get shopping cart systems specifically for Dreamweaver, but these will require some technical work to set-up and use.

    If you're happy developing under DreamWeaver, using their extension then I suggest you need to be asking for support in a DreamWeaver forum.

    If you simply want to trade online, as quickly as possible, and have limited technical skils, then a shopping cart system such as CubeCart is probably for you. Its possible to get trading online very quickly (I've set up a store in 3 hours - including logo, colour tweaks, PayPal and some products :blink: )

    CubeCart is a tested system - once installed, many people get by with little technical knowledge.

    If you're a skilled designer, you'll find the template based system allows good flexibility in the design.

    Typically, you'll have web hosting, preferably Linux Based. You'll then create a mySQL database, and copy the installation files into your web space.

    You'll then run the install script, which will configure the store settings and create the database tables.

    If your web hosting is cPanel, and you have Fantasico, you'll be able to install CubeCart very quickly as its part of the listed applications.

    Once installed, you'll then be able to log into the store and start adding products and setting prices/shipping options etc.

    This will be done via the web-based admin of the cart, so no Dreamweaver needed.

    Along the way, you may find some sections do not function as you would like. At this point, you can either attempt to tweak the code yourself, or find a 3rd party mod (free or commercial), or pay a developer to do it for you.

    I'd advise you to look at the Show Off sites to see what people are doing, and get a feel for whats possible.

    You'll find lots of help here, if you ask the right questions.

    Best wishes,

    Jason

    Accidently Turned on SSL

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    Hi Carlos,

    I've sent you a PM containing a link to a "ssl reset" tool I've just created.

    Please remove the editconf tool asap, and see if my tool runs - if please remove it once running once.

    Your server appears to have some security restrictions that are stopping the editconf tool from running, my code will hopefully work (I've tested on 2 servers and locally here), but post back either way.

    Customer Forms

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    there are various 3rd party mods (free and commercial) that provide feedback form functionality.

    There are a few flexible ones, and these will be commerical (you'll have to pay a few $$ for the code).

    I advise you to visit www.cubecartforums.org and check out some of the mods there - if you get stuck, post the same question again, and I'm sure you'll find people helpful.

    Big Space In Category View

    in Customising Look & Feel

    Posted

    Nice job so far!

    One problem is in the style id "contents";

    #contents {

	margin: 0 180px 0px 20px;

	border-right-width: 1px;

	border-right-style: solid;

	border-right-color: #666666;

	padding-top: 20px;

	padding-right: 10px;

}

    You've a missing "px" from the 1st parameter.

    I also notice that the layout isn't linear.. You've got the rightmost col coded before the left. In an ideal world , this should be fine, but some browsers don't like it. I've not checked the styles you've set-up, but I guess your're floating them into position.

    I'd personally put it into the correct flow for readability.

    I'm also not too sure why you've got 2 clear's in the code, just where the gap is...
