WWStitching Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Setting up CC6 on a test domain. Once all the bugs are out I look forward to taking it live. I just set it up today as a fresh install. Today's bugs are that I have to clear the cache often or the categories don't show up on the front end/customer end of the cart, won't save in the admin panel or don't work in the admin panel (including creating or showing subcategories) even when they do save. I'm finding I have to clear cache after every change. This is problem #1. The second problem has me seriously stumped is after I finally delete the test product (editing it with new info didn't work) and adding 1 product it now shows up on the home page, but you can't click on it or any of the categories because it just takes you back to the home page. I remember this fun (aka aggravation) from the start of V5 and I'm anxious to get 6 working because my 5 is having database issues that it has had since upgrading from v4 years ago. So far I'm having fun playing with 6 and look forward to everything working correctly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWStitching Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Since I have a tendency to be about as clear as mud this may help. The problem is categories and subcategories not wanting to work correctly. When I thought I had that fixed I was wrong. I added one product. I added it to one main category WWS originals which has no parent. I also tried to add it to a second parentless category Animals under a subcategory wolves so theoretically it would be Animals/Wolves (though in SEO it looks like AnimalsWolves) The one product I've added shows up fine in the main category and works correctly. It does not show up in the second category's subcategory. The product also shows up in Featured Products and Latest Products on the home page, but when you try to click on either one of those it just takes you back to the home page instead of to the product description. An error in coding somewhere, but I have yet to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 There are open bugs: #5: Primary catgeory not selecting additional on second click #31:Category directory separator symbol Checkbox As for taking you back to the homepage, that may be because the database CubeCart_seo_urls has a correctly formatted path, but the URL created and used for the link is not correctly formatted. When an seo-url cannot be found in the database, CubeCart sends the homepage. Someone will need to look at the database directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWStitching Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thank you! I'm off to bed but I'll pull those up tomorrow and fix them. I had a feeling the home page issue had to do with the forward slash not being there to separate category and subcategory in the SEO url. I am going to double check my htaccess file tomorrow too because it wasn't there when I first did the install. I may have goofed there as well.

Al Brookbanks Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I remember this fun (aka aggravation) from the start of V5 and I'm anxious to get 6 workingThis is exactly why it's a beta release. We are squishing bugs reported daily on github. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWStitching Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Al at least this time around I'm not desperate as I was when my V4 database crashed and I needed to race through bug issues on my v5. I'm actually having a blast playing with 6 and look forward to the next round of bug fixes. Mostly I'm playing with skin customization until the next update comes out and then will see what I can break again while I dust off what few coding skills I have. I almost dread the day it is out of beta because then the hard work of loading 1000+ products begins. I admit during the early v5 days I got frustrated and tried another expensive piece of garbage shopping cart that just didn't work plus the company lied like crazy about what it could do. Patience is not my strong point but it is a lot easier when I'm having fun in the mean time. I'm never wasting time with another brand of cart again!

bsmither Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 "The hard work of loading 1000+ products begins." CC6 can use the CC5 database. As of with this beta, upgrading from CC5, there are issues with the current configuration array that is saved in the database (bug report to follow soon), mostly dealing with the skin setting.

Al Brookbanks Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 @WWStitching - Great to hear you are having fun. I think we will get v6 ship shape fast. There are around 15 bugs reported right now. I want to resolve them all on Monday and get beta 2 out tomorrow afternoon if possible. I'm expecting around 4 beta releases.
