General Support / notifications for new code and updated extensions

« on: November 18, 2013, 03:45:05 PM »

Hello Abantecart support! Thanks for making this cart.

Here's what seems to need a solution: when there are code fixes and extension updates (Abantecart extensions) how does one know this? Currently there is a need for the PayPal Express Checkout to have a fix this to be available in a couple of days - So how do those of us who have that extension know there is a fix and what we need to do - download the latest version or go to github, etc?

Reading the board frequently gets me some of the fixes - but if they came prior to my starting on the board a couple of months ago - it's not a sure thing I will get know.

Can you perhaps make a new section on the board that actually posts fixes and updates to extensions. This would need to inform us in addition to what is being fixed as to which version the fix is for - ex. http://forum.abantecart.com/index.php/topic,1208.0/topicseen.html This was good information if one wants to disable the review - And if running ver 1.1.7. I am assuming once 1.1.8 is ready, it will include this. Therefore the fix needs to state that it is for versions 1.1.7 and earlier (if that is correct)

Just going to github - doesn't quite do it. I never know exactly what the code is really fixing - and rather I need it or not.

Thanks for considering a more concise way for users to find this information.

Templates / change size on brands scrolling block

« on: November 15, 2013, 02:48:38 PM »

I haven't been successful in finding where to change the display size on the Brands Scrolling for the manufacturers on the html5 template home page.

I have changed the settings > appearance to 80 x 57 and that works on the product pages for the manufacturer but the setting on the home page Brands Scrolling remains at 57 x 57.

Thanks in advance for the help.

General Support / removing graphics

« on: October 30, 2013, 04:51:32 PM »

I am having difficulty in removing the demo images from the resource library. I installed the demo, I have deleted the demo products. But cannot get the images to delete using the resource library tools.

You can see by the attached that there is nothing mapped to the image.
But it refused the command to delete the image.
How do I clean this up? Other than go into the databases (3) and removing them?

General Support / resource types data export failure

« on: October 30, 2013, 04:25:46 PM »

I've only encountered this issue on the Resource Types data export. The data exports, but opening it results in an error of too many columns.

All other data exports that I have tried to date do not have this issue.

See screen shots for the request and the error presented.

Any suggestions?

General Support / multistore url

« on: October 28, 2013, 11:03:41 AM »

does the multistore use it's own domain name? Since we have to direct it to the default store, does it use the default store url

Here's what I mean,

default is mymainstore.com
second store is secondstore.com

What is in the url when a customer goes to secondstore.com?
What I want them to see is secondstore.com

General Support / adding product warnings - after multistore setup ran

« on: October 26, 2013, 03:13:01 PM »

I have attempted a multistore - and have a post
http://forum.abantecart.com/index.php/topic,1244.msg4876.html#msg4876
that is awaiting enough guidance to have a success with multistore.

Since adding a mutistore I am now getting warning on every Product I add. I don't know if these warnings are due to the unsuccesful multistore attempt- or there is another issue.
I have not deleted the additional store while awaiting a reply for getting it setup correctly.

Here's what's in the logs:

2013-10-24 19:20:57 - warning: AbanteCart core v.1.1.7 array_unique() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/mmonline/public_html/shop/admin/model/catalog/product.php on line 118

Installation and Configuration / mutlistore home page won't show

« on: October 24, 2013, 12:52:02 PM »

I am running version 1.1.7. I have used the Create New Store link. On the admin panel it does show there are two stores, default and demo.

Both are subdomains on the same domain: store.mydomain.net (default) and demo.mydomain.net
Categories and Products has the demo store showing in the select box for Stores:

The admin panel when the demo store is selected has the correct link http://demo.mydomain.net/

However, when I try to use http://demo.mydomain.net/ I do not see a shopping cart.

I am either missing some essential instruction from the documentation on how to hook the demo store to the Master (default) store, or there is an issue.

Additionally, there are NO files within the mydomain.net/demo folder. Are there suppose to be something within the multistore files?

ALSO: is there a way for enable a new multi-store to place a check in the categories and products that are in the Master (default) store. Having to go thru one by one is quite time consuming as it seems to require 2 two-screen function to get to the correct place to click on the store selection.

Thank you for your help.

Template Support / paypal express extension

« on: October 16, 2013, 11:34:53 AM »

Hello,
I am getting App Warnings with the PayPal Express Extension. I don't know if this is an AbanteCart issue or an extension issue. I am starting with AbanteCart

I tried reinstalling the extension. I did uninstall the previous installation. And the extension does show as 'ON' in the extensions page. The blocksare enabled on the pages do go to the PayPal when clicked. So what is this error and how do I fix it?

Here's is the log of the errors after the new install.

General Support / cloning

« on: October 14, 2013, 03:58:15 PM »

When using the cloning feature - some things do not clone into the copied product.

What can I changed to make 'tags' one of the items?

Also, I added the extension for product_features, the tab shows up, but none of the selections from the original product do. Is this something that can be remedied. I realize this is a third-party extension, but the cart picks up the options associated with product_features, just not the input.

Thank your for your reply.

Template Support / layout pages - global rest

« on: October 14, 2013, 03:43:19 PM »

Running version 1.1.7 with the html5 template. Needing help with the template layout pages.

I am getting extra pages in the left column. I know they are being added when I click on the page layout within the product input area.

My questions:

How can I remove them from the listing that show up?

How can I get the template settings on the default product page to flow thru to the all the product pages?

General Support / setting user group functions

« on: October 14, 2013, 01:15:13 PM »

In working in the EDIT USER GROUP section - I am having difficulty in some of the links, and some quite unsatisfactory results in trying to find what the links go to.

I am of course logged in as the administrator. As seen here:

/index.php?rt=user/user_permission/update&user_group_id=10&s=......

All of the entries show GO TO PAGE when hovering. However the results are varied:

Some links actually work and go to the page it controls.

some places I get this - with no ability to log in. Note: this seems to happen a lot with anything that has 'extension' in the title.
{"error_title":"Login Error!","error_text":"You are not logged in. You will be redirected to log in
page","show_dialog":true,"reload_page":true,"error_code":401}

things with grid' in the title display like this when they work:

index.php?rt=listing_grid/zone&s=.......
{"page":null,"total":0,"records":"65","rows":[{"id":"3647","cell":["United States","\n\t\n\t
\n \n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/span>\n","\n\t\n\t
\n \n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/span>\n","\n
\n \n <\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/span>\n"]},{"id":"3615","cell":["United States","\n\t\n\t
\n \n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/span>\n","\n\t\n\t

Some just go to blank pages

I don't know if these differing results on GO TO PAGE click are by intention or there is an issue.

But a more reliable way to determine what the link is linking to would be appreciated.

Installation and Configuration / config error on apps

« on: October 09, 2013, 09:20:36 AM »

I am getting a lot of errors, so many the log file has been truncated - all citing the same line

Here's the text of one:

2013-10-09 12:53:16 - App Warning: AbanteCart core v.1.1.7 Warning: Accessing store with unconfigured or unknown domain ( mydominname.net/shop/ ).
Check setting of your store domain URL in System Settings . Loading default store configuration for now. in /home/myfile/public_html/shop/core/lib/config.php on line 169

My set up is I have a subdomain setup - so the url is shop.mydomainname.net
The admin panel uses http://www.mydomainanme.net/shop/index.php?rt=index/login&s=bigadmin

Actual cart uses - http://shop.mydomainname.net/

Store URL shown in System > Settings http://shop.mydomainname.net/

What do I need to change in order to correct the information so I don't see this error?

Thank you.

Extension Support / global attributes vs extension Product Features

« on: October 07, 2013, 09:48:57 PM »

I am using version 1.1.7 with the html5 template. Under Products > Global Attributes one can set up options. In the Extension store there is Product Features or Attributes. They seem somewhat similar to me. Can you explain the functional difference in them?

It almost looks like the extension was written for earlier versions and perhaps it have been added to the later versions?

I am basically looking for a way to add product size, other than just typing in the description area. ( not shipping wt).

Thank you.

General Support / In multistore - installed extensions and upgrading

« on: October 06, 2013, 04:28:23 PM »

When one has a multistore setup I have some ongoing maintenance and extensions questions.

What happens when you have extensions installed?

In particular, extensions that have fees? Do we need to purchase an extension for every store? or is it inherited during setup? If additional purchase - what about multiple license fees at reduced cost?

When there is a version upgrade, and it is run on the master - is it also necessary to run it on each of the store in some manner or are the features shared from the master upgrade?

These are important operational issues for deciding how to manage sites after setup.

Thank you for your answers.

Installation and Configuration / mail settings and using more than one email address

« on: October 06, 2013, 01:49:14 PM »

In researching about php mail and SMTP I found this citation:

PHP mail uses the settings in PHP.ini to send email through sendmail. Sendmail is a direct path that just hands over the mail you generated to the system's SMTP server, but requires you to build the header for it. PHP mail does not support SMTP authentication, which is required by many mail servers. Since SMTP requires a valid login to send the mail, the headers match the rDNS records allowing a flawless delivery.

In the long run, SMTP email is the only way to guarantee that your email will arrive in the inbox of your receivers. So don’t waste your time with the PHP mail function, instead use a web form that requires SMTP logic.

Can you please address which of the two systems work the best within abantecarte?
If one chooses SMTP what, if any changes need to be made either within the system, or within the server?

Additionally, can more than one email address be used, in either configuration? I would like to use orders@mydomain for order, newsletter@mydomain for sending newsletter etc. I have search Documentation and the board, but can't find any guidance.

If we can use more than one email address, where do we set that up?

Thank you for your response.
