Just so everyone knows -  support at abantcart is terrific.

Thanks for tracing this down for me.

I have one question -  there was a bug fix file a couple of days ago -  is the extension in the extension store using that fixed version  or should I continue to upload the "fixed" file?   I intend to start another location from the testing site.

thanks again for great service!
Lee

I don't know what you mean?

Where is that file located? 
FYI  this is on my dedicated server box  -  I can give you direct access,  FTP  or Cpanel  if you would like

this is not a working site,  but a test site to see if this carte can work out.

;Use this file for specific PHP settings on your server required for AbanteCart.

magic_quotes_gpc = Off;
register_globals = Off;
default_charset   = UTF-8;
memory_limit = 64M;
max_execution_time = 18000;
max_upload_filesize = 100M;
safe_mode = Off;
mysql.connect_timeout = 20;
session.use_cookies = On;
session.use_trans_sid = Off;
session.gc_maxlifetime = 12000000;

Thanks for the location -  here's the log info from when I first reported the issue -  I believe the ones on 9/22  are prior or during the bug fix.

The ones dated 9/23 are from today after the bug fix file was uploaded.

Yes,  the first issue stated that the PayPal Express was successfully installed and tested.  It has been tested again after this new file was uploaded.  Test reports success.

I don't know where the error logs reside.

I have PMd you additional site info so you can see first hand, what I am encountering.

thanks for the help

I have downloaded and installed the new file in the correct location - still seems to be an issue

If I choose any of the paths to get to the checkout - it takes me thru what seems correct -
header cart goes here:
    /store/index.php?rt=checkout/cart

header checkout goes here:
/store/index.php?rt=account/login&token=17b2072130b5125654a37fa8d15798d8

It then works thru the appropriate guest or login etc.  Ending on the confirmation page

But once you get to the confirmation page,   it goes to a blank page here:

store/index.php?rt=r/extension/paypal_express_checkout/confirm&token=17b2072130b5125654a37fa8d15798d8

I have tried refreshing the extension info  in the extensions, but it had no change.

Please supply more guidance in any necessary steps required to enable new extension file rather simply replacing the file in the correct location.


This is a test account only,  so feel free to test an order, etc.

Checked out your link -  yes  I see that you've gotten the tag, employed as part of the url.  That works nicely -  I tried doing a Google search for the term and you are right -  it works well,  goes right to your site, etc.

So can you provide some direction in what to do to make it work like this? 

thanks
Lee

I am running 1.1.6 version,  with the html5 template.

I have installed the PayPal Express checkout extension from the extension store via my admin panel.   I have enabled the api and tested the link.  All that is okay.

Here's the problem - the buttons that say Checkout end up at a failure notice
PayPal Express Checkout Error
Error has occured during request. Please try again later.

This is the result on every location -
   checkout from the drop down in under the header
   Checkout link within the header
   even the checkout link on the cart page


IF I use the Checkout with PayPal button  or the Check out with BillMeLater as shown on the /index.php?rt=checkout/cart page it works correctly.

My questions are:

Who do we contact about extensions in the extension store that don't work?

And what do I need to do to get the checkout links go to the correct link?

It looks like the links for checkout icon go to /index.php?rt=checkout/shipping

and the link that works correctly goes to index.php?rt=extension/paypal_express_checkout/set_pp

Thanks for your help in this manner -

Within the Product -general tab there is a Product Tags field -  it says this:

        'Product Tags: tags that this product has been given by administrator users'

This instruction doesn't give me enough information on how best to use this feature.   

What are the parameters of the tag field? spaces, no spaces,  can it have more than one tag,  delimiter is comma?  etc.

Are the tags used in any search functions by customer shopping on site?

Thank you for your help.

I have just completed my initial installation.   The instruction to delete  ....public_html/core/install   is problematic.

I do not have file  ....public_html/core/install   in my directories.   I do have ....public_html/install, but it seems to perhaps have some files that I shouldn't delete.

Guidance on rather the instruction received in the header of the Finished screen  just has the wrong file name and I should delete ....public_html/install.

Thank you for your help.
