[New fresh install of 6.5.5 will not allow me to select individual states to set sales tax rates.]

So, I will recommend that these text entries be 'trimmed' before getting databased, and trimmed again when populating the template for display.

 

[On mobile, how to display product as one column CC 6]

In the Foundation skin template element.product.vertical_gallery.php, use the following (make a backup of the existing file):

<ul class="small-block-grid-1 medium-block-grid-2">
<li>
<div class="row">
   <div  class="medium-3 columns thinpad-right off-canvas-for-small vertical">
      <div id="scrollUp" class="scroller"><svg class="icon"><use xlink:href="#icon-angle-up"></use></svg></div>
      <ul class="{if !is_array($GALLERY) || count($GALLERY) < 2}hide-important {/if}clearing-thumbs small-block-grid-1" id="scrollContent" data-clearing>
         {foreach from=$GALLERY item=image}
         <li><a href="{$image.source}" class="th"><img src="{$image.small}" data-image-swap="{$image.medium}" data-caption="{$PRODUCT.name}{if !empty($image.image_tags.title)}: {/if}{$image.image_tags.title}" class="image-gallery" alt="{if isset($image.image_tags.alt) && !empty($image.image_tags.alt)}{$image.image_tags.alt}{else}{$image.name}{/if} - {$LANG.catalogue.click_enlarge}"{if isset($image.image_tags.title)} title="{$image.image_tags.title}"{/if}></a></li>

[New fresh install of 6.5.5 will not allow me to select individual states to set sales tax rates.]

They persist? Again, did you have CubeCart clear its internal cache? (The Clear Cache button in admin's upper-right corner.)

 

[New fresh install of 6.5.5 will not allow me to select individual states to set sales tax rates.]

To answer the social media icon question, in admin, Store Settings, General tab, delete all the entries in the Social Account section. (This is actually in reference to CC654 - I haven't explored CC655 yet.) Have CubeCart clear its internal cache.

In admin Store Settings, Locale Settings section, make sure Default Language is set to what you want (English (US)?).

Next, in admin, Administrators, edit your admin profile. Select as your personal Default Language what you want (English (US)?).

[How to have specific selected options not to be repeated]

I got stuck. Still trying to unravel something.

 

[After-sales shipping quotes?]

I am not sure how an out-of-the-box solution would perform the various steps you've outlined.

Could you elaborate?

[Solution for upsell products in product descriptions]

This plugin may be of interest:

https://www.cubecart.com/extensions/plugins/related-products-manual-automated-recommendations

Please note that it was last updated in 2018, so you should send a note to the developer to see if a version has been written for PHP8 and that it works for CC6.5.

[SMTP successful no emails sent on 6.5.4]

Do you have a friend who has an email address other than 'hotmail'? Invite that friend to create an account, create an order, then you cancel it. See if the friend gets the email.

 

[SMTP successful no emails sent on 6.5.4]

The part in red is informational. It is not a response to any offense. It is very much like a sign on the door of a business: No Smoking. It is there to inform you, regardless whether you are or are not a smoker.

I do see the User/Pass part of the conversation. but secureserver.net is not agreeing to what they should be.

If you copy/pasted the username and/or password into these fields, the copy may have grabbed an invisible tab or newline character. So, blank those fields and then manually type in what they should be.

 

[SMTP successful no emails sent on 6.5.4]

Then I wonder how the test succeeded. Looking again at the conversation of the test, I see that there is no part that says, "Give me your Username," and "Give me your Password." Strange.

Anyway, in Store Settings, Advanced tab, for the "Use SMTP Authentication (Normally Required)", select Yes.

Then fill in the SMTP Username and SMTP Password fields.

Test. In the test response conversation, make sure there is a part that the Client sends to the Server a (possibly hashed) username and a (possibly hashed) password. But DO NOT post what those values are, here in the forums!

[New install not calculating state sale tax correctly]

It is the whole reported number as the percentage, that is, for you, 7.00 (do not include the actual percent character).

If you are experiencing this in CC654, please know that several stores are experiencing tax calculation issues.

The solution at present is to make an edit to the following file:

/classes/cart.class.php, line 1203, remove the line:

$this->get();

The value $37.90 is 3X what the tax should be, thus somewhere, somehow, CubeCart is running $179 through the tax calculator three times. (Personally, I have not discovered why, but the programmers imply this should be the fix.)

[SMTP successful no emails sent on 6.5.4]

In admin, please review the Email Log.

 

[6 5.4 calculation errors]

My feeling is that there is a new or newly revealed systemic issue in the CC654 code, meaning whether it is a "clean" install or an "upgrade", the end result will be the same.

Which is to say, an upgrade is actually a whole-cloth replacement of all the system files and the Foundation skin.

I do not think it likely that there is a new incompatibility between CC654 code and any module, especially where tax calculations are concerned.

 

[Is there a way to adjust?]

When viewing a list of products in a given category, when that list is in 'grid' view, the product name (title) is truncated to 38 characters (including spaces), followed by a three-dot character (ellipsis). The same applies to the listing on the homepage.

Using a programmer's text editor, please edit these files:

content.homepage.php, near line 29:
From:
<h3><a href="{$product.url}" title="{$product.name}">{$product.name|truncate:38:"&hellip;"}</a></h3>
To:
<h3><a href="{$product.url}" title="{$product.name}">{$product.name}</a></h3>

content.category.php, near line 137:
From:
<h3><a href="{$product.url}" title="{$product.name}">{$product.name|truncate:38:"&hellip;"}</a></h3>
To:
<h3><a href="{$product.url}" title="{$product.name}">{$product.name}</a></h3>

Have CubeCart clear its internal cache (in admin, click the "Clear Cache" button at the upper-right corner).

[add radius to all buttons.]

Edit the skin CSS file 'cubecart.common.css' and add, at the bottom of that file, this:

button, .button { border-radius: 10px; }

Save and have CubeCart clear its internal cache.

[add radius to all buttons.]

What skin are you using?

May we have a web address to give better advice?

 

[SMTP successful no emails sent on 6.5.4]

This reminds me of a conversation on these forums that discussed where, if an email template does not have a version ready for use for a given language, or if the language needed for the email has not been installed or enabled, then the email process falls apart.

Please verify that the email to be sent for a cancelled order has the appropriate template has a version for the language used by the order.

 

[6 5.4 calculation errors]

There are two approaches: replace the file /classes/gd.class.php with the file found in CC653, or visit your site's control panel and manage the extensions installed in PHP. Enable 'EXIF' (and 'MBSTRING' if not already) to the group of enabled extensions.

 

 

[add radius to all buttons.]

If your skin is based on the Foundation platform, there is already the CSS necessary to give radius corners.

See:

https://get.foundation/sites/docs-v5/components/buttons.html

See the last example in 'Button Sizing'.

Edit the template to affect one button. Then, using the Developer Tools for your browser, examine the CSS rules that Foundation applies to class="button radius".

Edit the skin CSS file 'cubecart.common.css' and add, at the bottom of that file, those same CSS rule(s) to make the corners have a radius, but for all buttons, not just for .button.radius.

Alternatively, we can make a code snippet to load in a custom CSS file -- which will survive an upgrade if using the stock Foundation skin.

[Help me check the code overflow problem on the product page]

This must be the case where CubeCart uses part of the regular product Description to serve as the Short Description, when there is nothing entered as an actual Short Description. When CubeCart does this, the <style> tags are stripped off, leaving the CSS content, which is now visible.

Please try entering some simple plain information in the product's Short Description text editor. Then Save and have CubeCart clear its internal cache.

 

[How to display the short description below the Product Code normally without displaying the code in the Description?]

If I recall, this same problem happened March 19. Your post said that this was fixed.

I still do not see what you have posted above.

 

[How to display the short description below the Product Code normally without displaying the code in the Description?]

I do not see the problem.

 

[I deleted all the countries in Countries & Zones. Now I want to restore the previous state. What do I need to do?]

Go to admin, Maintenance, Database tab. Scroll to the table CubeCart_geo_country. Make note that there are zero records.

Obtain the following file from a stock download of CubeCart and load it into a text editor: /setup/db/install/data.sql

Then, in admin, Maintenance, Query Database (Advanced), take note of the Query box. You will be pasting a lot of lines in here.

From the file, starting at about line 507, there will be 243 lines (all the way to the bottom of the file, don't miss getting all of the last line) that needs be copied to the system's clipboard, then pasted into the Query box. Then click Go.

Note: I haven't actually done this, so, be prepared if this does not go as desired. The only table being affected is CubeCart_geo_country which holds all the country names.

 

[Digital products no shipping required]

Then there is a possibility that your products or services might be illegal in certain counties/countries. There must be the means to enable/disable sales and shipping (a feature of the extensions) accordingly.

In admin, Store Settings, Features tab, Misc section, "Allow delivery to non-invoice address" is not checked. I think this is the setting that forces the delivery address to be the same as the billing address.

 

[Digital products no shipping required]

It will take a lot of work.

Also realize that some credit card processors want want to verify billing address data with the card's bank - a means to prevent fraud. (I have no idea how PayPal handles this.)

But that would be when CubeCart is communicating with the payment processor, not when the customer is sent directly to the processor.

Still, a lot of work.
