I was wondering if there's a way to bypass the data export file with .tar extension. I'd like to see my order data in a regular regular folder instead of a zipped file. This would eliminate an extra step (i.e. unzipping the tar file) when downloading orders.

My shipping page is displaying an incorrect weight under the US Postal Service option. It's showing 2.27 for an item that weighs 5 lbs. Can somebody explain this weight mismatch and how to fix it? Thank you.

I'm having some problems with the Wishlist. For some reason it is replacing certain headings (e.g. "Features", "Latest Products, "Bestsellers") of my home page with the words "My Wish List". Besides that, the Account page title is also messed up. Their tech support was not able to solve the problem, they keep insisting that there is a "conflict [that] is specific between [my] AbanteCart installation and the extension." I don't believe so. I haven't changed any major Abantecart file that would justify this "conflict". As soon as I turn off Wishlist, my headings go back to normal, which tells me that the problem is with their extension, not my shopping cart. Has anybody experienced a similar problem? They sent me some "fixes" to replace my original files, but they didn't solve the problem completely. Personally, I don't think I should have to replace anything. The extension should follow Abantecart's guidelines and work immediately after install. I have spent a great deal of time on this thing and still didn't get it to work.

My shipping estimator displays with shipping options when shipping withing my home state (Arizona). If I choose another state, only USPS is available. Other carriers (like UPS) are not showing in the dropdown menu.

Shipping estimator works perfectly when I request an estimate in English. It also works well when switching to another language and getting a quote in USD. However, when I choose a foreign currency in a foreign language (other than English), there is a mismatch in the estimated amounts. The amount in the dropdown menu does not match the amount shown on the page. See attached screenshot. I appreciate if someone could help me figure this one out.

A programmer is working on a project for me and he needs the file that has this string: $('#estimate.country').change

Any help in locating the file is greatly appreciated.

My shopping cart is set to multiple currency with USD as default. Currently, if a customer chooses a foreign currency, he/she will checkout in the selected currency and the email notifications will be in the same currency. Is it possible to have the cart keep the selected currency then change to USD at the very end of the checkout process? If so, how can it be accomplish?

I'm looking for someone who's really knowledgeable about Abantecart to help me figure this mess. I'm willing to pay for your consultation time. I had a company in India create a solution for my Abantecart. They said they tested it on their end, and everything is working well. They sent me the files, I replaced them with the original ones, and it only works partially on my end. This makes me believe they either sent me the wrong files or didn't sent me some file or files that are required for this thing to work. I only need to know what files are required to accomplish this specific task. Anyone interested in some paid consultation? Please send me a message and I'll give you more details. Thank you.

I'd like to display the related items (if any) on the Shopping Cart page. How can this be accomplished? I tried inserting this code where I want the items displayed, but it didn't work.

<?php if ($related_products) { ?><li><a href="#relatedproducts"><?php echo $tab_related; ?> (<?php echo count($related_products); ?>)</a></li><?php } ?>

How do I go about editing these areas of the Confirmation page?

<div id="payment"><?php echo $payment; ?></div>      
<?php echo $this->getHookVar('payment_post'); ?>

I want to change the CVV2 image to pop up on the same page instead of directing to another page. I'd like to go to the specific area of Abantecart to make this change instead of replacing the above with hard code.

[in use]

I created a block which I don't really need. I tried to delete it, but it says it can't be deleted because it's in use. I checked all layouts and I don't see any reference to this block. When it tried to turn it off, it says it's NOT in use. I don't understand the contradiction or why I cannot delete it.

I'm getting an "Unknown Ajax Error" when adding to cart from this category page in French: http://fr.assistech.com/store/magnifiers (Fr. "ajouter au panier" for adding to cart)

I tried the workaround provided by Abolabo at http://forum.abantecart.com/index.php/topic,2473.0.html , but it did not work for me.

I noticed this problem only happens when I'm in a language subdomain such as "fr" for French or "es" for Español. If I switch to English --> http://assistech.com/store/magnifiers , the error is gone. However, if I select English from the language dropdown menu, it adds an "en" prefix to the URL, therefore causing the same error.

Please note: I'm not using the built-in translator that comes with Abantecart. I use a third-party solution that requires adding a language prefix to the URL.

I appreciate if anybody could tell me what needs to be done to fix this error. Thank you!

I need Abantecart order.csv file to output one item per line. Is this possible? Right now, all items are lumped together on the same line for any given order.

Is there a way to add a shipping overcharge on top of the UPS and postal rates?

I'm getting the following US Postal Service error message:

"API Authorization failure. RateV4 is not a valid API name for this protocol."

How do I get this issue resolved?

I'm hiring someone to customize Abantecart for me. They are asking what PHP framework it uses. Any idea?

Does Abantecart support extensions using vqmod? If not, is there a workaround?

One thing I noticed about Abantecart is its lack of accessibility for the blind. The checkout pages, for example, are not accessible. The "remove" button cannot be accessed by a blind user who relies on a screen reader. Likewise, the "returning customer" portion of the page is not accessible either. See http://assistech.com/store/index.php?rt=account/login In order to be accessible and compliant with W3C guidelines, Abantecart needs to allow blind users to navigate through by using their computer keyboards instead of mouse clicking. Currently, this is not possible. Each <label class="control-label"> needs to be expanded to include a "for" attribute. For example, for the "login name", it has to say <label class=control-label" for="loginFrm_loginname">. This is true of all form fields, they each must anchor text with form input. This is the only way a blind user can use an online form successfully. Otherwise, the web page is useless for them. With that said, I need to incorporate theses changes to my shopping cart, but I don't know which page controls the checkout form. Any help is great appreciated. Along the lines of accessibility, it's important to note that the same principles that apply to ADA also apply to web accessibility. More and more courts in the US are recognizing the rights of people with disabilities to equal access. By law, businesses should make their web content accessible for all.

For some reason, some subcategories in my shopping cart are not displaying properly. Blanks are shows instead of the images. See examples of good and bad.

GOOD:
http://assistech.com/store/index.php?rt=product/category&path=43
http://assistech.com/store/index.php?rt=product/category&path=58

BAD:
http://assistech.com/store/index.php?rt=product/category&path=36
http://assistech.com/store/index.php?rt=product/category&path=52

Questions: Why is this happening? And how to fix it?

Thank you for your help.

I'm not getting a response from Algozone's Tech Support so I'm posting in this forum, hoping someone can help me. I've been trying to get assistance for two days now and no response!! They're useless. Even when I said I was interested in other extensions, nobody in the company bothered to call me back! Anyway, I bought their Advanced Search extension, but it's not doing what it's supposed to. Their ad says this extension allows advanced search using multiple filters, including the Tags filter. It turns out that I'm only getting one filter on the screen, the Price filter, and that's it. Nothing else is coming up. Not only that. When I run a search by Price, I get this error message: "Call to undefined function array_replace_recursive () in /home/.../public_html/store/core/lib/request.php on line 53." What the heck does that mean? Why am I not getting multiple filters on my screen? Is this a rotten apple? What do you do when a company sells something and doesn't stay behind their product?
