[OUR GOALS]

I would like to help Abantecart development community along with 2 of my programmers that I have hired to support Abantecart for our businesses (as I love Abantecart) and to figure out a good solution in relevance to Extension development and the Market Place.

@Ali Arslan - is One of my programmers currently discussing some technical matters with you in a different thread.

I have pointed out this before as the developers releases new versions of Abantecart, we currently have no mechanism in place to verify what extensions will continue to work, what will need an update from the extension developers and so on not until upgrade is done. On top there is no proper mechanism in place to get the updated version extension version from the extension developer besides re buy the extension all over again? may be I am wrong but this is what I am seeing for extensions I have purchased previously. No upgrade option available.

It appears the extension developers and code developers doesn't have a common discussion group where a co-ordination is happening between developers/Extension developers and where most popular extensions are first updated before the release of the new Abantecart code gets released to the public.

We also need a feature while doing software update where the abantecart notifies admin what extensions will no longer will remain compatible if they upgrade to new release prior to doing the upgrade.

Furthermore, we have dead, and really old extensions still in market place and they need to be removed.

Based on my experience working with few extension developers, the support is not top notch. You get piece part responses and very vague replies when you run into issues.

OUR GOALS

1. How do we establish a proper synergy between extension developers and core code developers?
2. How do we make extension developers accountable to provide proper support?
3. How do we automate extension update process more cleaner for the users.

Above are just suggestions not a criticism towards anyone.

Hi,

I am experiencing all kinds of error messages with the new versions of Abante cart such 1.4.1. and 1.4.2.

1. Issue one, I successfully updated Abante cart to 1.4.2 but when you log into the admin panel at the bottom it still says 1.4.1. Not sure why.

2. Now when I try to create a category, I am getting following error message. I have 4 Abante cart installed under 2 domains and each giving various error log messages.

=======================

Hi,

I bought this web site theme called Marceto

https://marketplace.abantecart.com/mercato_theme

The developer @natani claims Abante Cart does support any Video uploads and play. Which is not true to my knowledge.

His reply, "AbanteCart does not have a feature to display uploaded video files because most browsers only support a few video formats."

This makes no sense to me.

Any suggestions?

The developer doesn't seem to provide detailed answers. Its very difficult to get detailed answers out of him.

Getting this fatal error.

Any idea how to fix this?

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32768 bytes) in

/shop/extensions/mercato_theme/storefront/view/mercato_theme/template/blocks/currency.tpl on line 1

When you create a Google Analytics account, Google seems to be assigning two different account Id's.

From the image enclosed, can someone tell me which account number to use with AbanteCart Cart?

"or" are you suppose to use Measurement ID: G-MQxxxxxx

Thanks

Hi,

Is there anyone in the community ever got V2 or V3 CAPTACHA to work properly?

I have given up.

I have tried every suggestion suggested by "Basara" and others but nothing makes it to work.

I would be interested in hearing from someone who has it working with AbanteCart core v.1.3.4

Thanks

Hi,

We have to recently change VPS servers so we copied over AbanteCart cart Shop files, databases etc. to the new server but now the shop is not loading anymore.

We used WHM server copy feature which creates an exact replica of old cart on the new server along with databases etc. Checked everything and all files are there.

The only thing has changed its the new server IP address is different then the old server IP address.

Domain is pointing to the new server.

PHP 8.1 is enabled.

Will this require /System/config.php file to be update with some new values?? If yes, what needs to be changed?

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this problem?

Shop URL is www.aromecity.com/shop

Thanks

2. I created fresh "Site" and "Secret" keys by deleting the old account and creating a new one. (See screen shots of Google.

The contact us form link is



Do I have enbale or disable some other feature for reCAPTCHA V3 to work?

Thanks

Hi,

I am currently at version 1.3.3 and I want to upgrade to version 1.3.4 via Abantecart admin panel.

I have not received any messages that an upgrade is available.

I went to extensions sections to see if I can do the network install upgrade using extension key but I don't have the key.

Can someone give me the v 1.3.4 installation key?

Thanks

Hi,

Where can I find documentation that can provide how to make a product related video to shop at the store front?

Thanks

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to setup Options settings where the "Main Product Price" will change based on what option has been selected by the buyer and still applies the discount?

It appears Abantecart doesn't have such a feature. See screen shot below. The only thing we can do set price/% increase decrease based on option selected by the buyer.

Is there anyway we can do what i am showing below?

Hi,

I am wondering if there is way to offer whole sellers different pricing compare to retail customers?

1. is there way we can mark certain customers as whole sellers inside the system?

2. Next when they buy something, they get a discounted price?

I know one way to accomplish this is by creating a special coupon discount for whole seller but wondering if there any extensions available to support whole sellers or any other way to provide discount price to whole sellers or tier pricing.

Thanks

Did a Fresh install of version 1.3.2, when try to connect to the market place from extensions section, getting following error message.

{"error_title":"Login Error!","error_text":"You are not logged in. You will be redirected to login page","show_dialog":true,"reload_page":true,"error_code":401}

I can log into market place directly without a problem.

If someone remove an old store and install a new store will the extensions purchased under old store will can be installed under the new store?
-------------------------------------
Also when I am trying to connect my store to market place I am getting this error message, even though I can directly log into the market place account.

{"error_title":"Login Error!","error_text":"You are not logged in. You will be redirected to login page","show_dialog":true,"reload_page":true,"error_code":401}

Any ideas why is that?

Did not have any problems connecting to the store till re installed the software.

Version 1.3.3

I have programmed the correct keys Google reCAPTCHA Site Key but I am getting the following error message at the store front.

Human verification has failed! Please try again. When filling out contact us form.

Any ideas what causing this?

Not sure if this is version 1.3.3 related bug "or" am I doing something wrong?

Under a new product when I am trying to create "Options Values", it allows you to add options values field but I am unable to save them.

The save button goes dark gray and not savings the newly created options. Also the cursor turns into a red circle with strike through it. I do not have any global attributes enabled. I have cleared the cache but its still not saving any new options.

Before Upgrading to version 1.3.3 I did not have such issues. You can see option choices available for products previously added with options value at the link below. If I go back to old products where options were added previously, I can not add a new option value either.

aromecity.com/shop/hvac-scenting/arome-city-rome

Any ideas what I am doing wrong here or its a bug?

I am new user of this cart and so far loving it. great job guys by the way.

a) Provide an option for a buyer who paid for a service and then can watch a video - Like Training services sold with time limitation to watch. Unable to download the video.
b) A high quality WYSIWYG editor.
c) The current platform supports global parameters for product images, however there should be a secondary product size over written feature while adding a new product. This will allow further customization on per product basis.
d) A frequently bought together feature. Similar to relations but more focused.
f) A list of cart customization developer available for hire who have extensive knowledge of the software.
g) Customers Q & A section. Similar to Amazon with search feature.
i) Customer reviews rating system.
j) Customer can mark a product to be notified if a product price drops to his/her target price.
k) Display browsing history to buyers or/and products purchased in the past at the bottom of the page.
l) If the store owner has marked a product down lets 30% off. A feature that will embed the discount percent on the product image automatically or somewhere above the product image display area through out at the store front.
m) Option to provide gift wrapping service at check out. Controlled via admin panel global or on a per product basis.


I think of more later.

There is huge need for a comprehensive and sophisticated affiliate module for tracking sales generated by affiliated links, or sales generated by a specific sales rep to calculate commissions.

Hi,

First time trying AbanteCart cart so very new to this commerce platform.

facing some issues with PayPal Check out.

1. I am at release 1.3.3
2. Installed PayPal Express and PayPal extensions.

Interestingly at check out it only shows PayPal Express (fast checkout is enabled). if I disable PayPal express then just the normal PayPal checkout option doesn't even appear? Any idea why?

When I try to check out using PayPal Express, its giving the following error message.

PayPal Express Checkout Error
Error has occured during request. Please try again later.

I just installed a latest SSL certificate at the root of the web site and its working fine as standalone and also updated the store settings to reflect https url.

Any ideas what causing this problem?

==================================

******SOLUTION****

ok I figured out what the problem was.

If you have sipping enabled for a product and if any one of the installed shipping extensions are malfunctioning, you will not get to see the PayPal check out feature.

So, all shipping extensions must be fully functional to get to PayPal checkout icon during checkout.
