  1. ive realised this issue is only related to the site i upgraded from ver3 to ver6, i have another ver6 site that works ok, just not this one that was upgraded
  2. the featured product on the right changes yes but non of the latest products on main page change and it will not go to any catogories, you can click the tabs but it just keeps displaying the same latest products page
  3. oh please finish it, i know lots will say its old hat but i really liked the look, it was very clean and simple
  4. is there any chance that the killer skin could be made to work with ver 6 ? or anything very similar, i really liked that skin and would like to continue with it
  5. the caching problem is now getting worse, i cannot show any products or anything without having to delete the cache folder first then it only works for a few minutes
  6. in my old version of cubecart when i recieved orders the ones paid for were automatically marked proccessing, any unpaid orders were marked pending, this was good because i didnt need to trawl emails checking before dispatching, in V6 ive placed a test order, checked out with paypal express, the account was automatically created and payment moved from one paypal account to the other all successfully, only problem is in both the customers account and admin pages its showing as pending, also the customer is offered the option to complete payment even though its alreday paid for does it not change automatically anymore
  7. im sorry when i said it was a good user front end i was refering to the admin side, my only critisism of ver3 admin pages is i always thought the space for typing the item description could have been a bit bigger i always liked the killer theme, very nice theres a couple of features id like to see, which would be really handy, basic sales reports, i want to see how many of each product i sell each month, especially if i can have it as a .csv customer tracking, see which pages they look at and where they came from
  8. i dont think you realise what a good product ver3 was from a front end user experience, as i said i know knothing about writing php, or what makes scripts work, but its good to know that your doing all that important stuff in the background that i never see and probably dont even know is there the front end user interface could actually be made to look any way you wanted really couldnt it ? im all for keeping it simple, one page for products, one for catorgories etc, maybe 2 tabs like you said, basic tab with the normal stuff we all need and advanced tab for all the other stuff
  9. now that you have added a lot more features one page might be too long, thats why i suggest splitting it into 2, one page for the important stuff, just like in ver 3 and page 2 for the stuff most of us wont ever use, i dont think the page length is important really, its more about keeping things together with as few mouse clicks as possible,
  10. i remember that phone well, had one for years, now like everyone ive got a smartphone and now i wonder how we lived without them lol, but as i was trying to point out, maybe not quiite as successfully as i thought, when it comes to writing php you may be brilliant, i can see theres probably thousands of hours of code possibly even just in ver 3, and yes when it comes to features you have done well in the keeping up stakes, its fair to say that ver 6 is definatly a feature rich script, but how many stores do you actually operate yourself, on a daily basis, as a real user. thats what i was trying to explain, me and possibly thousands of others who download ver 6 but may never even come on these forums, we do not enjoy spending an evening working in php, were just regular people with busy lives and need a script that suits that, im not saying that the new features are no good, its all in the layout, for example take the products page, all the important stuff like name, brand, id, description, image, meta stuff should be on one page just like it was in ver 3, all the other stuff that most people never use like all those codes could be on page 2,
  11. hello Al, firstly id like to say ver3 was exactly what i wanted when i started selling online, it did exactly what it said on the tin and even download products was so easy even me with zero php experience got it working in 15 mnutes, congratulations on a great product. now the bad news, when ver3 stopped working due to discontinuing php 5.2 i looked at using cubecart 5, that was just ridiculas, i wasted over a day just trying to get that stupid ion script working, and failed, so ive looked at most of the other free carts available and it seems that they all have one that in common and that is to fill the script with as many useless features as possible and spread it out over as many pages as you can, why use just one page for products when you can use 8 or even 10, same for all the other aspects, some scripts even spread between catogories, thats where ver3 was a winner, one page for products, one for catogories, no crap just the stuff needed to get the job done, and all explained in plain english ive spent probably 2 days now on cubecart 6 and have to say im not that impressed, its all just so long winded, more pages and mouse clicks than it needs, dont get me wrong its fantastic your giving it away for free now but you have to remember most of us using these sripts are not webmasters, nor do we want to be, this script is supposed to be a tool, with the sole purpose of getting money out of customers pockets and into mine, that means i want to spend as little time using it as possible to sum up 2 days later using ver 6, and im still nowhere near the point i was after just 15 minutes using ver 3, no money has left my customers pockets and i now have an headache
  12. no i worked as soon as i installed it, i really wish V3 still worked its much better than the new versions
