When a user submits a form, how can we automatically obtain the url of the page?The form is on the product page.I want to automatically obtain the link or product name of the product when the user submits the form.

I am wondering the same question, and curious if the way to do this has changed since this was originally posted.

Feature request added https://forum.abantecart.com/index.php/topic,12126.0.html

Right, so I am requesting it be added as a feature request. Per https://forum.abantecart.com/index.php/topic,12118.0.html this is place to make feature requests.

If a product has a "fixed shipping price" even when the "free shipping" flag is set, the "Free Shipping" icon does not appear on the storefront. Although the cart will offer free shipping correctly to the customer, it is not properly advertised.

For example, this product: https://dedicatedpresentation.com/collegiate/sharp-np-p547ul-5400-lumen-wuxga-laser-lcd-projector has the free shipping flag enabled, but does not have a fixed shipping price entered.

But this product does have a fixed shipping price entered, but its "free shipping" flag is also set. https://dedicatedpresentation.com/elite-screens-180-inch-yard-master-pro-2-series-portable-16x9-front--and-rear-projection-screen?key=13961

Notice though that for the first product it does have the red truck icon, but the second product does not have the red truck. But, since both products have free shipping, they should both have the red truck icon.

The use case is that for the second product, I would like to promote the free shipping until which time I revoke the free shipping offer and return to paid shipping. Therefore, the free shipping should be advertised when the flag is enabled, regardless of whether or not the other fields have values.

In both situations though, the customer is not charged for shipping, which is correct.

I filed this as a bug, because the free shipping indicator does not appear in all situations when shipping is free. The developer closed the bug report and responded:

please check this line
https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/blob/master/public_html/extensions/novator/storefront/view/novator/template/pages/product/product.tpl#L293 and review product details in admin

Sure enough,

Code Select Expand

if($product_info['free_shipping'] && $product_info['shipping_price'] <= 0) { ?>
They pointed the bug out, but did not commit a fix. The correct fix would be to change to

Code Select Expand

if($product_info['free_shipping'] || ($product_info['shipping_price'] <= 0 && $product_info['ship_individually'])) { ?> so that either situation will activate the free shipping label.

How is this not a bug?

Wonderful, thank you for your transparency in the development. I am excited for this new feature.

Checking on development status of this feature.

Can a column with the "last updated" timestamp for products be added to index.php?rt=catalog/product?

Awesome, is there an official feature request channel somewhere I can post this for v1.4.5?

Thank you, this worked perfectly and helped me get my catalog cleaned up!

Yes, but my use case is that I need to see the time it was last updated. Products may be updated by import a few times per day, and I want to see the time of the last update. And I want to do that without having to open every single product in the list.

Is there a way to see a list of products that have no categories assigned?

Try running the upgrade_sql.sql file against your database server manually.

Installing AbanteCart 1.1.4 on Windows, using XAMPP with PHP version 8.2.12...see below screenshot of a not very helpful error message. Can you help?

I previously donated $200 on 11/7/25, I will made an addition $100 donation today. Looking forward to seeing this feature in AbanteCart!
