No I don't think you are rude at all. I have depended on you too many times over the years and appreciated every time you did help me, paid or free. This "if its not broke don't fix it " mentality is not my outlook at all, it is my clients who feel this way. I push them to upgrade but I can't make them. Because of that, the last two CC licenses I purchased from you were for remote hosted clients. I told them upfront buy your own hosting then I'll buy the script, design it, set it up for you, but it's your responsibility to pay attention to your admin panel and contact support for update versions.... and to deal with your host when you have server problems. Then I give them all the contact and login information for your support center and to contact milos for non support based help. I have enough to do with my own hosting clients plus running a huge high traffic forum and another server with automated sales boards. The last two CC stores that I set up..I don't stress about because they are Not on my server thank goodness, not my regular clients BUT I do still help those people, the latest being helping with what to do about the php upgrade and now the usps upgrade. This ticket was started for one of those remote clients. Her store was set up in 2010 and in that time I did one upgrade for her in 2011, I did charge her $35. once in 2012 for many hours of work on her store and her PayPal account. She emails me when she has a problem, I help her with what to do and who to pay. If I can get support with a support credit or read here and fix it for her quickly no I don't charge her. When I can't fix by reading and have to pay someone else then I do charge her but it's a reimbursement fee. I am still working on getting 2 stores to upgrade to version 5, (the store I started this topic for is one of them and her main reason for not upgrading is the price to update her skin) and for one version 5 store to upgrade to its latest version. One of the stores, the oldest one, IS on my server so that one I do stress over. Sooner than later this store will not work at all... wouldn't now if I couldn't have went back to the last php version. I tell them all it's much cheaper in the long run to keep everything patched and upgraded and if you do so then you have premium support and way less down time. preaching to the choir though I think.

well Ian from havenswift it looks as though I hit a sore spot with you. Thank you for the time it took you to look up all the version dates, others who come here for help may find that usefull. ....as for those other 2 little remarks that you made... I've spent many years on the CubeCart forums reading and learning from others as well as email help from Alistair to learn how to fix little problems myself while NEVER CHARGING MY CLIENTS A RED CENT to do so. I have ALWAYS PAID anyone who was nice enough to help me. The only time I charge my clients for work on their scripts is for the time it takes me to upgrade or perhaps in reimbursement for any amount I may have had to pay support to do the upgrade OR for the fee my CubeCart expert charges me to work on something that I cannot fix. Of course I am not benefiting in any way by being a partner or a troll to offer help for payment only here, so what do I know?

I'm updating this for people searching for help with this problem. Since Cube Cart No longer supports ANY versions of Cube Cart lower than 5 , finding someone to edit the code and patch it is your only option. No one from here can fix this. What I had to do (for the time being until I can make my client understand that the script needs to be updated to the latest version) is I completely disabled USPS module and enabled the UPS module. I always recommend updating to the latest version BUT because they have to pay for it...it is ultimately up to my clients to upgrade and they usually choose not to. Because most are of the "if it works don't mess with it" mentality ... I NO longer recommend or set up Cube Cart at all because there are so many script updates. I have several clients with stores, 1 of them still running version 3.4.3 with no problems for many years until now with the USPS module. I had the most trouble all across the board for years with the version 4 stores, even the one kept updated and now they too are dysfuntional in regards to the USPS module. I have had little to no problems with the version 5 store although running 5.2.13 she needs upgrading now too, All these stores are being run with full license paid... honestly the amount of script updates is a BIG pita. IF my clent decides to go with the patching I'll let you know how that goes and who did it, I've used this guy for many years and he is the best and most reliable when it comes to actually fixing what is wrong.

OK thank you

Anyone?

Priority is set as it always was: enabled>>regular>>variable rate I have not set the size dimensions, no. Debug is enabled. I have a test account and as soon as I put something in my cart and then login I get this: USPS Error: The element 'Package' has invalid child element 'Size'. List of possible elements expected: 'Container'. If I visit fresh and login first and try to purchase it is the same. I disabled the module and then enabled it again and still the same issue. This is the only message given and the only thing on a complete white page. This was the original error shown when she contacted me: USPS Error: API Disabled: RateV3. The RateV3 API is no longer available. Please follow the "RateV3 to RateV4" transition guide in the announcements section at www.usps.com/webtools to migrate to the latest version or contact your software provider or shipping administrator for assistance. I must have done something wrong when I edited the calc and class.usps files?? help! edited to add photo and say THANK YOU so much for responding!

Hi A client of mine contacted me this morning about her USPS shipping module. I see it needed to be upgraded from RateV3 to RateV4. I followed all the directions here : '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> and here: http://www.cubecartforums.org/lofiversion/index.php?t18105.html I am getting this error now --> USPS Error: The element 'Package' has invalid child element 'Size'. List of possible elements expected: 'Container'. If someone could please point me in the correct direction to fix this please? thank you so much for your time.

Thank you bsmither! this worked. Now I can go forward with finishing the look of the navigation. I appreciate the time you took to help me with this. How it looks in I.E. now eta: This really should be addressed and added as a fix in future downloads. .

Toucan since you are the skin designer of this default skin, I would think you'd have a fix for this cross browser problem? Do you think you could take another look at this and provide a fix for how this looks in Internet Explorer? I'd sure appreciate the courtesy of another look, I'd really like to use this skin. Thank you, Debby

Hi, I put the original common and dropdown default .css files back in place, just in case I might have made a mistake. However the screen shot above of how the dropdowns look in I.E. is Still a accurate representation. Can anyone help with this? Since this is a default skin within Cube Cart I think it should work better than this. I appreciate any help you all can give.

Ok I just tested this in I.E. and the drop downs which display perfectly in Firefox only have a background color where the text is. It looks AWFUL. The folowing is how it looks in Firefox And here is how it looks in Internet Explorer! !! I am not a expert with .css. As many instances of Cube Cart that I've installed and designed over many years and many versions... I've never had these problems with the default skins! This new one is very nice, so modern looking and I'd like to be able to use it.

Thank you for your help! I opted for using the default crosshatch skin and used your instructions to change the size of the background image. When I did it the other way it scewed all the cats in the drop downs which, like you said, would have required many more style changes to fix.

Hi I'm using the new Crosshatch skin on version 5.2.1 First I noticed that if you have more categories than 5 or 6 the navigation includes another row to accomodate it, which would be fine IF it also included the navigation background file.....but it did not so the new row was on white and hard to see. I used the css to widen the navigation so all the categories the client want fit on the one row but I can't get it to center. Can someone please advise on what to add in either of the css of the Crosshatch skin to center the navigation AND please tell me what to add so that If I wanted two rows of navigation the background graphic would be there? Thank you so much, here is the url to store in question http://www.supremeequinedesign.com Debby

I also have/had this same problem with my long running Cube Cart store. The strange symbols appeared almost 2 weeks ago after server PHP upgrade. I have now inserted bsmither's fix and it worked. Thank you.

My upgrade on version 3 from .17 to .18 using only the changed files link provided went well except for the modules/gateway/paypal/transfer.inc after updating that I got an error on check out which said there was an unexpected "<" on line 119 This is line 119 <input type='hidden' name='bn' value='CubeCart_Cart_ST' /> I overwrote the previous transfer.inc back to the server until I hear what the problem may be so my clients store will function again. If anyone who knows why I got this error would reply to me with an explanation and fix I'd sure appreciate it. Debby
