llegrand, you are my favorite person in the world right now!! It worked, and I'm in!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!

I've done that ten times over. It's weird too, because I get the first email to click a link to reset password, then I don't get the second email with the actual password. Is there a way to view the system generated password in the database files?

I purchased the WhiteLabel extension and what I found was that when the extension is turned on, thereby removing the "powered by AbanteCart" catch phrase on the bottom right of the page, the confirmation emails sent to customers and the owner after a completed sale, will contain no information. No logo, no thank you for purchasing from ...., and no comment section.
 
If I turn the ext off, all the notes come back on the confirmation emails. How frustrating. More money spent on extensions that don't work properly or full of bugs.  I just wanted to let everyone know so you don't waste the money on the WhiteLabel ext.

What happened to Gordon Taylor? He was a huge help around here, and now I see his username is associated with a "guest account"?

Hello everyone,
   I am in an industry where many of my products must ship via LTL freight. I am trying to figure out the best way to handle/calculate freight at checkout. Ideally, I would love a program or extension that allowed me to specify the weight, size, shipping class, and pickup point for each product, and thereby worked in sync with a freight carrier to provide up to the minute freight charges that could be added to the invoice at the point of checkout. (I know, I'm probably dreaming...)

I understand that this technology is not readily available or at least it was not easily found during my research. The alternative I suppose, is to simply supply a message and comment box at checkout that allows the customer to enter their "collect" bill carrier and account number, in which case the customer will be billed directly for the shipment from their freight partner of choice, and/or if they do not have a collect account, gives me the ability to have a message appear informing the customer that shipping charges will be billed to their credit card once a rate has been obtained for their order.

Does anyone have any recommendations for me?

Lastly, I still have items that can ship via UPS, so I will need to have two freight options available, so that I can assign one of those options to the product in the product editing section.

Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated,  I am kind of at a stand still with the site until I figure the shipping options out.

Gordon, for the meantime I have figured out solution for us. If you want to clone something for the second time and have everything transfer over perfectly, just change one letter in the product name, hit save, and then clone it. Once the new clone populates, just go back and remove that one letter difference and re-save the original as it was. Works great, and now I don't have to waste time rebuilding my options. 

Gordon, can you tell me how you got the cart dropdown icon over to the right side of the page, instead of directly under the logo. Like you I have a logo I want to use that drops down and sits on top of the cart menu, but I haven't taken the time to figure out how to move it over (too busy trying to load products) I appreciate any help!

Thanks,
JFuchs

I'm having the same issue since 1.1.8 upgrade. It is very frustrating to be able to clone a product only once. As Gordon said, yes you can hit the back button after the error message and the clone is there, however it removes the images (no big deal), but most importantly and a very big deal - it removes ALL Options. That is the worst.
 I have to waste time rebuilding all the options as they are not Global Options, just options created within the individual product. My options have model #s within them, so all the wording stays except the change of a couple numbers (hence why I don't make them permanent global options).
So when I'm adding one product that doesn't offer as many options, I have to delete those option lines (used to be no big deal). To save time, I used to go back two products and clone the last one with the full set of options for my next product build, but now I can't do that. Instead I have to copy the most recent product and rebuild all the option lines. Terribly frustrating, and a huge waste of time compared to 1.1.7.  clone capabilities. I will check the sql configurations on my cpanel, but I'm guessing that won't change anything as Gordon has already done so with no avail.
