We have installed about 30 Abantecart carts in the past several months and we noticed a quirk in the password routine too.  If you use long strings for passwords, like MH,ep8Ea_@1SqGNvq4'   for example (don't worry, I won't use that one, it doesn't work), something in the process breaks.  You will get a No match for Username and/or Password error, even though you may have meticulously logged and saved the username and password.  If you are creating a second user and can login with good one, and change password, you will eventually find one that works.   

Not sure why this does this with abantecart but it should be fixed, it will thwart a great deal of customers, especially if they are installing via softaculous and get locked out.  Going in via phpmyadmin is not always a solution for new users.

Latest version 1.2.8

SSL is turned on and is properly formatted as mentioned.

I don't want store on https all the time (google frowns on that).   

But when doing checkout and click create an account or checkout as guest, it doesn't switch to ssl - pm me for address

SSL cert installed and works fine.

SSL turned on in setting as is URL properly formatted as https: with trailing /

Cleared cache but won't switch to ssl.  Also, for some reason it seems abantecart is calling the image of the products in cart as http so even if I force it to work by putting https: in address bar, it still throws error as its pulling http for images for product in cart even tho its not displaying it - odd.

Any suggestions?

Exported database of 1.2.7 and imported successfully into a new cart setup on server (same version).  Storefront works great but admin was working and then started showing this error:

2016-07-05 16:28:21 - database error:  AbanteCart core v.1.2.7 SQL Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND st.status = 1

Any suggestions?

Great thank you.

For our reference and hopefully future references for those who are also struggling with this, can this be done so categories and subcategories and sub-subcategories will be assigned on a single import or with regards to categories, is this a multi-phase import just to get the tree?

Seems like there would be an sql tree statement we could use or build to do the same thing?

Data import with Abantecart seems very, very tricky.  I have been working with shopping carts since the internet started and this seems to be a very difficult cart to use when it comes to importing data.  Even the newest version is very tricky. 

So from what I see, one has to create a single product, complete with category assigned, images, etc., then using the data export tool, export the Products, categories and manufactures files to see how its formatted.  I get that. 

However, why can't we just import a SINGLE CSV file with products, categories and manufactures all mapped.  It seems like this cart requires that all the IDs be setup FIRST and then you have to map your import accordingly.  Very, very 1990's.  When you are importing 25,000 products, that is a barrier to using the cart.

Am I missing something?  I thoroughly read pages about data import/export but am not seeing a way around this?

((I failed to say that the cart is amazing, with the exception to the data import deficiency, I don't even see a real tool to purchase to make it doable - would love to see an answer/update on this or clarification.  All the questions I have seen are all pointed to the data import/export tools and they don't help....not if we need to first setup category ids manually and then manually map them in the product import sheet.  Ideally, if I say a category is TOOLS --> subcategory HAMMERS, if they exist the product should be added, if non-existent, they should be created and then product added)).
