Hi Am currently using cube cart v6 to sell digital product. my problem is that I can not upload file more that 350kb. how do i upload large file like 5mb. thanks

I have one product to sell, and it's only available to buy in quantity of 1. My product is something like a custom greeting card. User goes to my site, and clicks BUY NOW. That's where I'd like to link to CubeCart. Here's the mod I'm looking to implement: Upon clicking BUY NOW (replacing ADD TO BASKET), cube cart would immediately place user in CHECKOUT page with just that 1 item in cart. The Quantity column would be masked, and if there were any in the 'shopping cart' cache before, it would be automatically cleared and reset to 1. Only 1 item per purchase is possible. Perhaps there is an existing solution or extension?

Hi, Never used the sitemap feature in CubeCart. Can someone please explain what needs to be done and how to get it submitted to search engines. Is it a good sitemap ie: set it and forget it or do you need to resubmit it when changes are made to website. Does it submit images too? Thanks, Claudia

I'm developing a site (www.theolyn.com) for which we use Mailchimp to handle newsletters, mailouts, etc. The main reason for this is because Mailchimp has a really easy-to-use yet sophisticated automation system. What I want to achieve is a product that is delivered in a series of automated emails (using Mailchimp) over a number of days. Ideally, I want a customer to make their purchase and, as a result of this, for the appropriate Mailchimp automation to be triggered. Mailchimp can then handle the frequency and content of the deliveries straightforwardly from there on. The gap in my knowledge is how to fire the trigger in the first place. I'm aware that, in order for this to work, the user will have to be registered on my Mailchimp list, but this is easy to do by asking the customer to create an account at Theolyn.com, if they don't already have one, and log in at purchase (I have CC and MC synchronised with Semperfi's Mailchimp Plugin). Mailchimp has a variety of plugins to achieve this with other cart solutions, but Cubecart isn't one of them. However, Mailchimp does supply an integration called API 3.0, which says… A subscriber's email ID is posted to the endpoint https://us4.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/automations/6aec3caf78/emails/7b9f1e7f8a/queue …but I haven't the foggiest idea what to do with this. Is this within the scope of a reasonably intelligent person who isn't a code poet?

Hi, I noticed in CC6.1.3 on the dashboard there is an option to ignore plugin upgrade notifications. I stupidly chose this option and I now do not get any notifications when and upgrade is available. I know this because my other store still gets the notices. Anyway to turn it back on so I get the notifications. Thanks in advance, Claudia

Hello Good People.... I've used CC for many years now though not from its birth sadly. I have an issue. I wanted to install the Chinese Language. The system allowed me to list Chinese as a language, and even had a slot for the conversion currency for HKD (Hong Kong Dollars) but thats way off and doesnt seem to compute at all so in HKD everything is about 97% discounted. :). Tired of going round in circles..... I want to delete the CHINESE Language I set up. It has no flag. Looks bad. Tries to load in the extension .gif with no prefix for the image filename, I cannot edit or delete this language and am scratching my head as to how on earth to get the languages back as they were. lang1.jpg image shows the missing graphic holder. lang2.jpg shows the impossibility to delete the Chinese error in the language set and will NOT allow status changes.. Help would be superb. Token payment for a technician to go in and sort it is also available. But I cant afford CC's current fees sadly. They wont fit the budget. Thanks for reading. Neil.

Thought I upgraded to 6.1.3 but now I'm not so sure: In dashboard - store overview - it says CubeCart version 6.1.2 In maintenance - upgrade - is says I'm using the latest version and 6.1.3 is shown I've also noticed that I don't have some of the upgrades. My filemanger is the older version - doesn't have the new add product / images create folder, etc..... On a positive note, the problem I had in a previous post where I wasn't informed on the dashboard of new version or extensions available has fixed itself. Also this - on the release notification: Important Release Notes From 6.1.2 CubeCart requires ZipArchive which replaces the old PclZip library which hasn't been developed since 2009. Please verify that your PHP configuration has ZipArchive support prior to upgrading. We have attached a PHP script (ziparchive-check.php) which can be used to verify prior to upgrade. How do you use that ziparchive-check.php? Thanks in advance, Claudia

Hi to everyone, first of all Merry Christmas! I had a problem, I just configured CubeCart v6 with 11 languages and the flags appeared in different order and some times the same flag for different languages. Changing to any language work well, its only the flag appearance. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thank you very much for your attention.

Is there a way to set dimensions for each item for sale or do you just have to use the blanket box size listed in the Canada Post extension? The sizes of the items I sell vary substantially and using the largest sized box for the smallest item I have would both over charge my customer and just not be feasible.

I placed a test order after upgrading my store and noticed that I didn't receive an admin email. I then tested SMTP and found the following error message. SERVER -> CLIENT: 220-vps.matrixresurrection.com.au ESMTP Exim 4.87 #1 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 16:18:51 +1100 220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited, 220 and/or bulk e-mail.CLIENT -> SERVER: EHLO thrill.com.auSERVER -> CLIENT: 250-vps.matrixresurrection.com.au Hello thrill.com.au [103.250.21.101]250-SIZE 52428800250-8BITMIME250-PIPELINING250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN250-STARTTLS250 HELPCLIENT -> SERVER: STARTTLSSERVER -> CLIENT: 220 TLS go aheadSMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.CLIENT -> SERVER: QUITSERVER -> CLIENT: 221 vps.matrixresurrection.com.au closing connectionSMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

After the Xmas break, I checked on our Cubecart installation, and got this message on the dashboard: ... so I click on the "Upgrade Now" link, as I have done many times in the past, but my store thinks that he is at the latest version! Is there something wrong with the new version, or do I have to do the upgrade manually?

My admin is not telling me an upgrade is available on the dashboard or in maintenance. Nor is it showing recent marketplace extensions. The only way I knew was by going to this forum and my other store. Also, in looking at this post Additional Field Similar to Cubecart in the Skin and Templating forum I have some questions regarding how I added my additional fields. If it's not the correct way to do it, now is the time to rectify it as the code has to be modified when I upgrade. Here is basically what I did, without going into much detail. 1. Created the following in the inventory database - one each for item age, item size, item mfg, item location: Type: varchar (30) See Above collaltion: ut8_unicode_ci Null: no Default: none Attributes: Blank 2. In the file /admin/sources/products.index.inc.php I added the following after 'translations' => $lang['translate']['title_translations'], 'item_age' => "Item Age", 'item_size' => "Item Size", 'item_mfg' => "Item Mfg", 'item_location' => "Item Location", 3. In the file /admin/skins/default/template/products.index.php I added the following after <th nowrap="nowrap">{$THEAD.updated}</th> <th nowrap="nowrap">{$THEAD.item_location}</th> 4. Since I don't use the translation column, I made the following changes: <td align="center"> {foreach from=$product.translations item=translation} <a href="{$translation.link}"><img src="language/flags/{$translation.language}.png" alt="{$translation.language}" /></a> {/foreach} </td> I Changed to: <td align="center">{$product.item_location}</td> <td align="center">{$product.product_weight}</td> 5. Changed a couple of Colspan to fix code change 6. Below <div><label for="product_code">{$LANG.catalogue.product_code}</label><span><input name="product_code" id="product_code" class="textbox" type="text" value="{$PRODUCT.product_code}"></span></div> <div><label for="product_code_auto">{$LANG.catalogue.product_code_auto}</label><span><input name="product_code_auto" id="product_code_auto" type="hidden" class="toggle" {$PRODUCT.auto_code_checked}> <input name="product_code_old" id="product_code_old" type="hidden" value=""> </span></div> I added: ( And changed maxlength for some ) <div><label for="item_age">Item Age</label><span><input name="item_age" id="item_age" class="textbox" type="text" value="{$PRODUCT.item_age}" maxlength="30" ></span></div> <div><label for="item_size">Item Size</label><span><input name="item_size" id="item_size" class="textbox" type="text" value="{$PRODUCT.item_size}" maxlength="50" ></span></div> <div><label for="item_mfg">Item Mfg</label><span><input name="item_mfg" id="item_mfg" class="textbox" type="text" value="{$PRODUCT.item_mfg}" maxlength="50" ></span></div> <div><label for="item_location">Item Location</label><span><input name="item_location" id="item_location" class="textbox" type="text" value="{$PRODUCT.item_location}" maxlength="30" /></span></div> <div><label for="product_weight">{$LANG.catalogue.product_weight}</label><span><input name="product_weight" id="product_weight" class="textbox number" type="text" value="{$PRODUCT.product_weight}"></span></div> 7. Finally I moved this no longer used section: <div> <label for="manufacturer">{$LANG.catalogue.title_manufacturer}</label> <span> <select name="manufacturer" id="manufacturer" class="textbox" type="text"> <option value="">{$LANG.form.none}</option> {foreach from=$MANUFACTURERS item=manufacturer} <option value="{$manufacturer.id}"{$manufacturer.selected}>{$manufacturer.name}</option> {/foreach} </select> </span> </div> <div><label for="condition">{$LANG.catalogue.condition}</label> <span> <select name="condition" id="condition" class="textbox" type="text"> <option value="new" {if $PRODUCT.condition == 'new'}selected="selected"{/if}>{$LANG.catalogue.condition_new}</option> <option value="used" {if $PRODUCT.condition == 'used'}selected="selected"{/if}>{$LANG.catalogue.condition_used}</option> <option value="refurbished" {if $PRODUCT.condition == 'refurbished'}selected="selected"{/if}>{$LANG.catalogue.condition_refurbished}</option> </select> </span> </div> To just above this as all these fields are not used <div><label for="upc_code">{$LANG.catalogue.product_upc}</label><span><input name="upc" id="upc" class="textbox" type="text" value="{$PRODUCT.upc}" maxlength="20"></span></div> Is all this okay or should I have done it differently? Thanks in advance for any and all help Claudia

In a week or two I will be launching a new, own made, product for sale. To attract more customers, I'm thinking of making an offer like "free shipping" for the first 10 buyers. Or "buy this product X and get product Y for free", or similiar. I guess the latter is a bit difficult to achieve, but is it possible to make the first one happen, without manual intervention?

Where can I change the wording of the form labels of my checkout form? There is a label underneath of COUNTRY that says County and it shows the shipping options in a drop down, has nothing to do with county

Hello and Happy new year! I'm a new user of cubecart. Everything worked fine from installation to paiement methods (paypal + print order... only) but I can't put any image to a product! I already tried to reinstall but the problem remains : loading an image (<500kb) from product/image loads the image, save display the confirmation message, but no image is linked to the product... Thanks for helping me to solve this issue... Regards Benjamin

Hi, I've upgraded to v6.1.1 to see if this upgrade can solve my problem, which didn't apparently. On front store screen, "customer"s right-top corner buttons navigates to nowhere. I don't recall what I have changed after upgrading to v6.1.0 but all I remember is, I was trying to solve POF (print order form) problem (which is still exist btw) When I mouse over the shortcut links, it shows link at the bottom of page as "..../cube/index.php#"

Hi, I am looking for someone who has a good level of knowledge of how to limit the damage with google of removing an old website that has been around since 2006 and replacing it with a new version 6 site. This is a totally new site. However it contains a lot of the same products but with different titles etc We are wondering what is the best option? • Replace the current (v3) website with the new one (v6) on the same.co.uk domain name or • Launch the new website (v6) on the slightly better name.com domain name with redirects from the old site Concerns • We don’t want to lose any “presence or good reputation” that has been gained over the years with Google etc. (Products, General website) • Does the current domain name have a good ranking with google (Has the old site caused harm to the natural rankings?) • Would adding the new (v6) website improve any negative ranking from Google etc? on the old.co.uk domain name? • Would creating re-directs from old domain name to the new (v6) shop on new domain name prove to be a better solution? Any suggestions, Recommendations? Thank you Gary

In CC3, I'd like to know if there is a way to add a product to cart using PHP. IE: I'd like to just send the CustomerID = 123, ProductID = 11303 and Quantity = 2 Is this possible? When the customer logs in, they'll see the added product(s) in their cart. EDIT: If this can be done in CC6, then I'm willing to do the upgrade... Anyone?

Does anyone know how to integrate with Jrox affiliate software? There used to be a module system for this, I believe. I'd like to get this done asap..Thanks

I've noticed that customers (and myself) find that the search function does not work very well within the product options. I have about 2500 products (if you include product options) and use the product options extensively in an attempt to try to simply the interface and administrative work. What I am finding in addition to the search function not working as well is that customers get confused by it. Also, the price displayed is only the first option which poses questions as different options can have different prices. Has any else experienced this? Does anyone use the product options extensively? I've thought about just giving each option their own product page, which also makes SEO and product images a bit easier. Opinions or comments?

I was looking at changing skins and I started by looking in the looking in the marketplace. I find there are just not that many. There were a couple that I liked though. I clicked the Demo. One of them gives a 404 error and the other just gives a blank screen. I'm quite disappointed. I've been using Cube Cart for about a year. It has had a lot of short comings that I have tried to address as I have had time. I started making a list of things I really wanted to fix about a month ago so that I could restart marketing in January. However, as I look around, I'm beginning to question whether I should continue to use Cube Cart. I generally like it but it seems like it has such a small user base and there is very little 3rd party support. Is this project really viable? I think Al has done a good job and certainly Bsmithers and a select few others are super responsive in the community forums but this is few members for a community.

Have looked at a few open source e-commerce solutions and have to admit that CubeCart is about the easiest of them all. However, notice during the testing phase that different browsers give different results when using the Foundation skin in regard to the appearance of the store. Older browsers (assume that the user would be using the latest and greatest but not always the case) show pages with a wide black border on either side and the middle section of the actual home page, product page, etc, in the middle. Very unreadable and very hard to navigate. Other browsers (like Slimjet, some newer versions of Firefox and newer versions of Opera) show a proper page, but the featured item and bestsellers are cut off and there is no horizontal scroll bar to alert the user that additional information is "hiding" on the right side of the page. Turns out that if I zoom down to about 90% the page will display correctly. Looked around the forum and didn't find a solution to this and right now only thing I could think of doing is to place a notice in the "slider" on the home page alerting users to upgrade their browser and/or zoom out to show pages properly (assuming they don't have the "see the middle only" issue). Right now, Vivaldi seems to be only browser that displays the page as it should be. Looked in the Admin panel to see if maybe I could "downsize" the page to at least fix the zoom issue, but either overlooking where it is or not there at all.

Hai, I'm using Cubecart V6 with the paypal pro gateway as my payment method. And I'm using Foundation as my skin of template. My scenario is : Non-member (Without Login) Customer can purchases and add item into their basket, and view it by click on "view basket". (the button will navigate them to xxxx.com/index.php?_a=basket) Member (Login) Customer can purchases the item, but the "view basket" button is failure. It navigate customer to (xxxx.com/index.php?_a=confirm). Previously it doesn't have "View Basket", I enable it via box.basket.php in skin, template. It is not only that, but it will shows the same url to customer when they press on login button during login process. (In order to confirm member had login, they need to press "back" button in browser and refresh the browser). Thanks

Hi from last month After upgrading to last CC i see lot of below access from different ip address on Statistics Users Online.. index.php?_a=newsletter&subscribed=false

I'm using the By Weight shipping module in Australia and have set the two option names to Express Post and Parcel Post. The problem is, these option names are used for all international zones as well. Is there any way I can set Zone 1 to Express Post and Parcel Post for Australia, and have all the other international zones display Air Mail as the option 1 name?
