In your shoes, my next step would be making sure that the entire code set was uploaded.

I don't know for a fact that that query would have occurred in a missing file - but I don't discount the possibility..

David

Perhaps more significant is this:

Code Select Expand

AND ((date_start = '0000-00-00' OR d' at line 3<br />Error No: 1064<br />SELECT product_id, price

Note the MySQL error 1064 , which may indicate that a previous query failed..

While the process is a bit involved, the system does work.

Can you expand on what type of error messages you are receiving ?

Hm.  Would clearing the caches help this???

Is this really a bug ??

Payment and shipping are handled by extension modules, so you probably installed the Flat Rate module under Admin -> Extensions -> Shipping  , selecting the default_flat_rate shipping module.

There are options for cost, location (which regions the module should be used for, I presume) and sort order (change order in which the module is presented on the shipping page.).

There is not an option for a postage or handling fee, within the module itself - but there is a Handling Fee module in the Order Total collection.  Try there.

There is no reason you can't offer both Per Item and Flat rate options for shipping - just activate both modules.  Not sure the options will always make sense though....

In the head.tpl file.

I would expect that the main thing which is important is making sure that the second domain is routed to the same document root folder as the first one.   Is it?

What is the error log showing ??

David

No, I mean echo.  As in:

Code Select Expand

<?php echo $this->getHookVar('your_var_name'); ?>
<?php echo $your_var_name; ?>

with no resulting output.

And no errors related to the module found in the error.log

You may be able to export your existing categories and create new ones by reimporting the file after adding some insertion entries.

Ahh - a new store on an EXISTING site..

See http://www.abantecart.com/component/content/article/2-uncategorised/63-multistore-set-up

Basically, all key URL's will be the same form but you must have a 2nd domain configured to point to the same webspace.

This may require manual help from your hosting provider, particularly where enabling SSL is concerned, as you'll need a second IP added to the site to support secure connections.

Once you have that done - just use the new domain.

David

Though, I'm still a bit curious as to how you do this with scripts generated on the fly, as for various analytics platforms.....

Try to change page.tpl and add <?php echo $your_var_name; ?> before </body>
Also create hook on ControllerCommonPage and fill this var like this:

Code Select Expand

$this->baseObject->view->assign('your_var_name','<script type="text/javascript" src="'.$this->baseObject->templateResource('/javascript/global_scripts/myscript.js'.'"></script>';

Will it work for you?

I'm trying to apply the above suggested technique to CommonHead as follows:

Code Select Expand

  public function onControllerCommonHead_UpdateData() {
// $registry = Registry::getInstance();
//$registry->get('document')->addScript($this->view->templateResource('/javascript/global_scripts/myscript.js'))
   $this->baseObject->view->assign('your_var_name','<strong>Splat</strong>');
    }
}

with this code located within a class in my extensions core/x.php file.

Its not working.

I do have the echo for your_var_name in the common/head.php view.

Any suggestions ??

See:  http://forum.abantecart.com/index.php/topic,258.msg989.html#msg989

I've been looking at the extension documentation.

On http://www.abantecart.com/document_wiki/index.php/Developing_Extensions_and_Extension_API  there seems to be a dead link to a file called  extension_example.zip which contains some example code.  Can this link be restored??

David

Template 2 can be manually installed by uploading the contents of the abantecart\ac_template2_v1.0.tar\ac_template2_v1.0\ac_template2_v1.0\code\extensions folder into your carts extension folder.

Use the install button from the extension listing in admin to "install" into the cart system.

I am trying to set up the shipping.

I have installed the Royal Mail extension and am using weight based shipping but have noticed that the prices it generates are not current. Is there away I can update them automatically or manually? Is there a way that I can use Royal mail without using weight based shipping?

I rather doubt that there is any automatic way to update the rates - the last I heard the Royal Mail still does not offer an automated rate estimation service.

I would have though you should be able to adjust the rates in the module settings, but these rates appear to be hard coded in about 20 lines of code, and will need to be adjusted in the file at extensions\default_royal_mail\storefront\model\default_royal_mail.php

Also is there a way of shipping by zones, for example one cost for UK, one for Europe, one for rest of the world?

Good question.  I do see that this module will take other country locations into account when calculating rates.  So, some shipping methods are going to vary depending on destination country according to Royal Mail rate standards.  But, I don't see any provision to set separate rates per zone within the extension itself.  There seem to be some cart features which would help in this regard, but I've not had to configure any of them at this time. 

When I set up the shipping zones it would only show shipping in the cart if I choose all locations rather than my UK location. Does this mean that customers from outside of the UK will also be able to choose UK shipping such as royal mail first class or will they only be able to see the International options?

One last question, at first I choose display delivery time, but in the cart it just showed the text estimated time rather than a time such as 3-5 days. Is there a way of fixing it please?

The language file is found at extensions\default_royal_mail\storefront\language\english\default_royal_mail\default_royal_mail.xml

There is a text key named text_eta which holds the text "Estimated Time:".  This can be found in the admin language management tool by searching for text_eta for the extension default_royal_mail if you insist on changing it.  I don't recommend that unless you are planning to offer some guarantee that the Royal Mail will consistently beat those estimates.  Interesting liability issue...

Thanks
