Upgrade to CC 6.4.9 Problems

Claudia · January 10, 2023

I have updated my store to 6.4.9 using the stock code downloaded from the CubeCart home page. I've come across some issues.

1. My PHP version was downgrade to 7.4.3 from the 8.1.13 I was using.

2. My administrator for Ian (Havenswift) disappeared

3. The update to change the alt tag for photos in admin isn't there

4. Even though I have Venmo unchecked in the PayPal Commerce plugin it was checked after the upgrade and I had to manually uncheck it.

I use a custom skin and went thru each file from the Foundation skin with stock 6.4.9 and made the appropriate changes.

When I upgraded the image portion of the code in the content.products ( I merged the files ) I got a white screen and the following error.

Note the extra ) here: {$LANG.catalogue.click_enlarge}"{if isset($image.image_tags.title))}

When I deleted it, it worked fine

[Exception] /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/includes/lib/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php:32 - Syntax error in template "file:/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/skins/xxxxxxx-1/templates/content.product.php" on line 32 "<li><a href="{$image.source}" class="th"><img src="{$image.small}" data-image-swap="{$image.medium}" data-caption="{$PRODUCT.name}{if !empty($image.description)}: {/if}{$image.description}" 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>" - Unexpected ")", expected one of: "}"

Regarding the template syntax error, an issue has been posted in the Github.

3. Check the code in the admin skin file filemanager.index.php, near lines 122-129:

  {if $FILE.type == 1}
  <div>
    <label for="alt">{$LANG.filemanager.alt}</label>
    <span>
      <input type="text" id="alt" name="details[alt]" class="textbox" value="{$FILE.alt}">
    </span>
  </div>
  {/if}

Also in this file, make this change:

Lines 117-119, from:

      <select name="details[move]" id="move" class="textbox">
        <option value="">{$LANG.form.please_select}</option>
      </select>

To;

      <select name="details[move]" id="move" class="textbox">
        <option value="">{$LANG.form.please_select}</option>
{if isset($DIRS)}{foreach from=$DIRS item=dir}        <option value="{$dir.path}"{$dir.selected}>{$dir.path}</option>{/foreach}{/if} {* #3121 *}
      </select>

1. Is this what CubeCart reports in admin, Dashboard, Store Overview tab? Or is this aspect of the server environment being shown somewhere else?

1. In admin, Dashboard, Store Overview tab and also in cPanel / Select PHP Version. It reverted back to native 7.4.3

Is your hosting provider able to determine when, approximately, your specific server environment was changed from PHP8.1 to PHP7.4? And by who/what?

CubeCart would need extraordinary power to overrule server operating system permissions to edit the necessary configuration files. (That said, I do not find any code in CubeCart that would - if it could - change server configuration files.)

The filemanger changes worked. I must have used and old file

As for the PHP version after I upgraded to 6.4.9 I just happened to look at the store overview in admin to make sure it said 6.4.9. That's when I noticed the PHP was at 7.4.3. I told Ian about it and he changed it back to 8.1.13

I think I have all the above sorted out, but now these are popping up in my admin system error log. There's more but you get the idea. Also I keep getting logged out of admin.
