Hi I've not had too much experience with smarty templating engine before so this is probably a noob question. I want to use main.php to pull in the content.homepage.php template (which it does) but then... within content.homepage.php use smarty includes to pull in box.banner.php and within box.banner.php again use smarty to include box.featured.php. From what I've read on the web nested includes work fine but the variables don't seem to be set i.e. $featured Any tips on what I could be missing? This works: main.php -> {include file='templates/box.banner.php'} -> {include file='templates/box.featured.php'} This doesn't work: main.php -> {$PAGE_CONTENT} (which uses content.homepage.php) -> {include file='templates/box.banner.php'} -> {include file='templates/box.featured.php'} I'm presuming it has to do with the $PAGE_CONTENT (constant? What's with the uppercase anyway?) being polluted in a non-smarty way If {$PAGE_CONTENT} variable is relevant to the page you're on then I presume this is switched out for a standard smarty {include file='the.page.name.php'} but I'm unsure as it happens at run time.

Hi, The way the VAT is displayed at the basket page is an issue and I am hoping that there is a solution for it. Basically at product page, pricing is displayed inclusive of VAT and this is all fine. However, at the basket page it becomes an issue. At the moment, the product pricing is then changed and displayed as ex-VAT and same with the shipping if your shipping pricing is vateable. If you trade in a non VAT country zone, that's not a problem for you but if you are based in EU and your business is trading with consumers as opposed to trade, it is really not great. If you do your shopping online within the EU, you will all know that all the big names do not display ex VAT pricing at checkout/basket. Only wholesale companies do that. Could anything be done to improve this page please ? Thank you. Sandrine

Hi, I would like to place a previous button on each product page at the top left under the title line and a next button on each product page at the top right under the title line. This way a shopper can continue browsing items in a category without having to go back to the category page. Here's an example of what one of my product pages looks like: https://www.claudiasbargains.com/set-of-vintage-treadle-sewing-machine-drawers-in-case-2.html I'd want it under the line under the title. Thanks in advance for any and all help! Claudia

On ALL of the T-Shirt products the select size drop down includes additional items not found in products option window: See example images attached. How can I delete SM+19.99, LG+19.99, and XLG+19.99 ? For some reason Med not included.

I want to copy the categories from my old store to my new store after i have uploaded the product.csv

The spinning circle when the first page of the Admin loads has turned into a spinning rectangle with a cross in it. Why has this happened?

Hi New to all this (cubecart) so forgive me if this is already addressed (couldn't find a way to search the forum) I am about to launch a bookshop and on the product details page it shows Manufacturer if one s set. I wish to change the word manufacturer to author as this is rather more relevant in my case - is this possible to do? Any help as to how to address this would be grateful Nick

I'm new to CubeCart. I installed and set up the USPS shipping module, and would like to know if there is a way to let the customer choose to have signature required and/or insurance to be calculated into the USPS price. If there is not a way currently, it would be a great enhancement as the vast majority of our shipments go out with signature required and insurance. In our current cart (which we are getting rid of), we can select if these are mandatory. It would be really helpful if we can tick a box that says mandatory and then add a price level where the calculations start. And also have a box we can tick that would let the customer opt to purchase signature confirmation and extra insurance. Does this currently exist? Thanks in advance for your replies!

Hi How can i disable cash on Cubecart but keep performance as I want my product images list on google images search . after upgrading to cc6 i lose all my images listed on google images search thanks

Hi Just want to clarify a couple of things with me being new to CC. I'm on version 6 and trying to understand the market place a bit better since I'm finding it slightly confusing. This may just be a case of me understand the terminology... So my installation of CC has a nice admin area where I can manage everything I need to but I'm missing a few features I'd like to develop. Before I start down this route I need to understand if and how I may perhaps share these on the marketplace as it may be something that others would find beneficial (I haven't wrote anything yet but wanted to get it straight in my head and start out on the right foot). The section under "PLUGINS" has a link to my list of installed "plugins" but the marketplace goes to "extensions". This is my first question. Are "extensions" the same thing as "plugins"? If they are then the extensions menu also has a sub section of plugins together with other categories which is confusing. If I wanted to write a module (I'm calling them module as I can't distinguish between all the terminology used) then this would have a complete set of installation instructions for CC to automatically install and update DB, PHP etc and probably write directories specific to the modules requirements etc. Is this what a plugin is and is a plugin a particular type of extension? If I wanted to write a code snippet, a product feed or a skin then these would all be regarded as an extension but not regarded as a plugin? Also is a code snippet something that is used under "Manage hooks" in the admin? I there a visual map or something? I'm struggling to write the questions so I'll stop here until I understand what all of this means.

I just did a website move from one server to another. The frontend is loading okay but I am getting a message 403 Forbidden when I try to access the Admin - see screenshot. How do I fix this? I managed to figure it out. mod security was on. Thanks

My website is just a blank page! Please help!!! I checked the error logs, and this attachment shows what it says. I have no clue of how to fix it. I need someone to tell me and walk me through it. Thanks! Error Log.docx

Hi, I am new to the forum and new to CC I want to start creating my own template/skin but want to use bootstrap (the CSS framework I mean) over foundation as I have no experience with it and I've got an extremely tight dead-line* Would it just be a case of creating a new directory in the skins folder and start re-building each page using an existing theme as a base? *I've just switched from OpenCart so have a lot of the page content done so I can fit it into CC if I don't have a CSS framework to learn on top of all of this work. Kind regards James

I am using CubeCart V6 (latest update from March 16) and testing in preparation of launching the site. I have plug-ins installed for Paypal Express Checkout, All-In-One Shipping, and Amazon Payments. The Amazon Payments i not showing up on the checkout screen, even with all the tokens and such filled in (and set for sandbox). I have removed and reinstalled several times but there is no change. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks. Jack

Hello I have some setup questions, I’m new to this platform and would like make some changes (if possible) so I can get rolling. 1. Search our store and advance search, I don’t need I have one product and maybe the possibility different sizes down the road. How do I get rid of it? 2. Customer reviews, is there a way to add pictures to this in a mod? Would be nice to have reviews with customers picture using or holding product. 3. Logo space is too small, if there is a way to remove search box will this free up space for a larger logo? 4. I don’t need a featured product cause I have one, when I uncheck box in admin for this it also took away latest products and I was left with the home page slider and nothing else it might have been the other way around either way, nothing on home page except slider. I want it simple, if they make it to the website they just want to buy my product. 5. Do you have to have a SSL for PayPal to work correctly? Is there a tutorial in the forum for paypal some where that has eluded me? I setup install with http: and not https would I have to re install if ssl is needed? 6. I would like to put a video on home page, is there an easy way to do this? 7. Its quite simple, I have one product that I would like for the consumer to have the ability to buy on home page without registering (or does this affect shipping) to my site, pay through paypal express checkout. Sorry for all the questions but I need to get this site the way it should be and quickly, Thanks for any advice and replying.

Help! I upgraded to the latest Cubecart a few days ago. I saw the store was online so all seemed well. Today I tried to log into to admin and I'm getting a 404 error not found.

Does Cubecart work with Redis?

well I attempted to do this <H1></H1> tag just like I did for another page. It worked for the other page but it didn't work on my contact-us.php page. I put both tags in shop/skins/mican/templates/main.php file. Here is what I have: {if $smarty.server.REQUEST_URI|stristr:'contact-us.php'} <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Contact Form</title> <H1>Contact Information and Form</H1> </head> </html> {/if} Can someone tell me what I did wrong and how to fix it? thanks

Hi, I would like to have only one image per product, where as I have two images now. See attached. Is there an admin option to change this? If not I assume some code will need changing in content.product.php. What changes would be required?

Hi all, Hope you can help as I'm a little stumped! One of our sites has recently been displaying some strange behaviour when adding items to the cart and within the cart itself. Adding an item only works sometimes, then visiting the cart itself it will display Empty Cart. Clicking the Update Cart button then will show the correct items in the cart. Even the Empty Cart button needs the Update Cart button to be clicked afterwards. As a little background: Theme: Custom version of the Foundation theme Version 6.0.8 (afraid of updating in case it breaks something) Hope someone has experienced something similar and can advise!

Is there any way that when the customer enters in the number of tickets they require and add to basket, then they are given a form to fill in with the names of those attending for each ticket? I am really stuck with how to do this. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Lisa." I am trying to do the same, however at the moment I use digital items and have the attendees registered name only. Would be nice to a full blown ticket agency using a CC plugin. Any takers? regards Duncan
