« on: April 17, 2025, 10:29:40 AM »
Hello, a couple of things that may help solve your ongoing issues.
First in your original post you indicated PHP 7.3, I assumed that was a typo as cart v 1.4.1 only works on 8.2 or 8.3
You can check the PHP recommendations here.

Next, Gmail and Yahoo both started REQUIRING DMARC be enabled for your site. Here is the Google article

Installation and Configuration / Maria 10.11 version anyone using it? update
« on: September 18, 2024, 01:14:12 PM »
Any one using Maria 10.11 version with AbanteCart? If so, seeing any issues?
With the change of centos to either AlamaLinux or CloudLinux there are some small differences. But the biggest one is the Maria was 10.6, and now the leap is to 10.11.
We have updated all of our installations and all of our client installations to Maria 11.xxx and keep the latest version installed. We updated shortly after the original post and have experienced no issues in the last year.

Built-in Features / Re: Increase of number of characters
« on: August 21, 2024, 03:55:22 PM »
Hello Hani,
It is a function of the responsive design - it will appear in total in some screen sizes, see the image attached.
The solution is to add a wrapping function on those fields, so if the space is narrow, the text will wrap.
If you need help log into your WHY2 account and ask us to assist. Remind us what cart version you are using.

a suggestion until a new solution becomes available.
have you thought about altering the product page of the discontinued item - saying it is discontinued and changing your description with a link to the similar product??
Or perhaps use a blurb - with that info also?

Support / Re: I want to move to another web hosting. What should I do?
« on: July 06, 2024, 12:24:06 AM »
One small thing to know about that - it is just moving the AbanteCart - if you have a site that has been operating you may have emails accounts etc. those will need handling.
Most host will transfer all to your new domain location with new IP for free. Check with your new host and see if that is something they will do.
If you don't care about moving the emails accounts, then those steps will work.

New Features Discussion / Re: Shipping per product
« on: June 14, 2024, 07:02:16 PM »
As I 10+ year user of AbanteCart and supporting a large number of clients on the platform, I would suggest core devs think long and hard about adding ANOTHER level of selection on a product page - it will make it more difficult for all users and a bit a a problem if one shipper is not available - eg, Product with UPS ground forced to the Product, but UPS does not service the destination, what are the alternatives for the customer to select from?? eg 2, with other shippers in other countries you are seriously complicating the whole shipping process. As you know core devs. WHY2 has extensions for enhanced FedEx, UPS, USPS, AusPost, CanPost, etc. So we speak from years of experience with many shippers in different part of the world and with many AbanteCart users that we support.
I have clients that use FedEx, UPS, USPS, FedEx Freight and large commercial truck lines (RLTL, Yellow ,etc and they have no issue getting the order shipped in the best way by using those settings. In addition there is individual shipping by product for what ever reason it needs to be , size, wt, fragility??
At the current time there are many ways to control what size of product can be shipped using a shipper by invoking the thresholds in each shipping service.
vsdoug, please do a little more testing with the various settings that can be enabled already to control which shipper based on some parameter.
Or post back some of the different wt and sizes of a few products that you need to control the shipping that is offered.

Support / missing address info
« on: June 11, 2024, 01:02:32 AM »
in 1.3.4 version there is missing address info on the invoice. see my attached images for what I am seeing. They are from the AbanteCart demo site.
The system settings seems to ignore the fields for city , state, postal code on the invoices. If I add the missing info into the address field then the contact us is doubling the the info.
Please fix this for 1.4.0

New Features Discussion / Re: Product Options
« on: May 28, 2024, 01:45:33 PM »
Hello, Nuno was using the default options, not a third-party.
With that said, we gave him a solution that will work for him using the default options. He was unfamiliar with the difference between global attributes for standardized options to be used with many products and individual options that can be set up one to one with the product options tab.
His concern was if he had a global called length, if he added a stand-alone option called length it would affect all of them. That is not how options work. Admin needs to add any option either global or stand-alone to each Product option tab - and if affects only that product.
Perhaps this will assist other admins to understand how the options work within the default coding.
Cheers to all

Extensions and Add-Ons / Add new address button to checkout pages
« on: May 24, 2024, 11:46:06 PM »
in all cart version since adding Fast Checkout (which we really like) there is one enhancement that would add a lot of clarity to customers buying on the Fast Checkout.
Not all customers, especially stores with middle -age to order customers , are fluent in icons.
My client admins all complain about their customers not being able to understand how to add an address alternative, not edit an existing one when they are in the checkout process.
If you run the process as a customer you will see the current EDIT button ONLY takes you to the page to edit and EXISTING address. Yes, there is the right pane with the Manage Address Book, however most customer do NOT understand then need to be in the Address Book to add another address.
We would like to request that you add both the New Address and the Edit(with text) buttons on the checkout process.
The ones that are in the Address Book.
Please refer to the attached image.
Thank you in advance for considering this. We, as developer of extensions and service providers to AbanteCart admins, have been making those adjustments to save our admins from customer confusion and complaints. Hoping you will find it a positive improvement in the new 1.4.0

« on: May 09, 2024, 02:57:54 PM »
Change the wording so it says something that indicates the READ the agreement and accept with a link to the agreement within the line.
That holds up legal well at least in the US.
You might find insight to this on:
