How can I make the website stay on center and not to adjust with browser changes? Like how you have it on *http://www.abantecart.com *

update  ac_settings set `value` = '900px' where `key` = 'storefront_width';
and now to change CSS to center it

another issue is  when it loads the products depends on the screen resolution it put blank spot in the middle on products pictures 
i found out that blank spot does not happen for actual listing it happen only when you add some listing from layout like latest or manual product listing or popular.
I also added  height to ".list .list_item" under boxes.css and it resolved the blank spot issue but i am not sure if this is the best way to resolve it   

please, try to check this with product having rating (stars) in lists. It it works well please post solution, help us:)

Also i noticed the custom block does not have the options to change image size and it is defaulted  to 54*54
Can we make the custom block image size to be same as Product List Width and Height or add new option under admin for it

Custom block are different. what exectly custom block type did you used? need more info

Just a note on this:

The download (v1.01) contains a php.ini file that may conflict with your server php.ini file if you install the store into a sub-directory.  I use Godaddy and had this problem today.  I removed the php.ini from the sub-directory and had no additional issues.

Hello.
Could you post last lines from your server-log (i mean apache log-file)?
Thanks.

[Use Authentication]

I too,
I use SMTP Gmail,
but I don't find anywhere to config Use Authentication and SSL,
so it doesn't work.

I have installed Gmail SMTP on Joomla, it works normally.
Of course, have setup Use Authentication and SSL on Joomla.

Please help me..

did you tried
hostname: ssl://smtp.gmail.com
port: 465

?

Hello.
Sorry for delay.

i have tried to upgrade db on my ubuntu linux and all fine.
First of all check this dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/batch-mode.html

you have to:
1 replace db prefix from table names by yours
2. remove all comments from sql (i dont' know why, but different mysql-server versions work strange with it)
3. run in shell
user@user> mysql -D your_database_name -u username -p password < abantecart_database_upgrade.sql

please note, if you have installed abantecart at subfolder of root document directory, for example, http()://www(.)domain(.)com/your_abantecart_dir/ you have to add subfolder name into .htaccess in RewriteBase directive: RewriteBase /your_abantecart_dir/

hello.
please post all cookies info after your wrong page load.
Also try to replicate this with disabled firewall or antivirus.
please post memory_limit directive value from yours php.ini
If you have ability please attach session file from temp directory of php (with session_id as name)

I have installed the latest version (1.0) of Abantecart for testing but seem to have a problem with getting the tax total to include the tax for shipping. It seems that it will only add the tax rate you set to the product subtotal. Is this just me?

I have set up the tax zones & have select the flag for shipping in the product option. I have then set the shipping extension options to include the tax rate for the various shipping locations but no matter what you do, it wont add tax to shipping. I have tried most of the populay shipping extensions & get the same results.

I am in the UK & you should have tax(20% in UK) on the products I sell & this must also be added to shipping (Parcelforce in my case). I am VAT registered & need to show the correct tax total for the order.

I hope this is just something I have missed? Has anyone got tax on shipping to work?
Replies appreciated, fantastic ecommerce software, good job guys!

Hello.
I just tried to replicate your case.
So, what i did in control panel:
1. go to menu system->localization->location and there press "INSERT" icon at the heading on right.
2. Fill location name and short description, for example  UK, United Kingdom and press SAVE
3. after save you'll see "location's zone" tab under form. You need to set what zone(s) belongs to your new location (UK) if you need to set tax rates for each of them separetely... or don't if you need to set up tax rate for all zones.
4. go to menu system->localization->tax classes. If you see tax class "taxable good" click "edit" icon. if not - click "insert" icon.
5. then click tab "tax rates" and press green plus icon to add tax rate for your location.
6. in opened form just check "all location's zone" checkbox to set rate for whole kingdom or uncheck and select one of location's zone, write "shipping tax of UK" ad description and set tax rate 20.

7. go to storefront and login. add product in cart and go to checkout.
In right box "order summary" you have to see something like this

1 x Beauty Eau de Parfum
- Fragrance Size 3.4 oz
   $72.00

Sub-Total:    $72.00
Flat Shipping Rate:    $2.00
uk shipping tax 20%:    $14.40
Total:    $94.52

is this your's aim?

Create a product and give it a tag "test tag".  Now visit that products page and click the "test tag" tag, the search results return nothing because space gets turned into %20 in the URL which doesn't get url decoded back for the query..

I imagine other special characters would also fail.  Tags should be stripped of all special characters except only those legal as a tag in a url .

Again this is something I could have fixed for you if there was a git repo.. 

Yes, was a bug.
Thanks.

I have loaded and used the ADMIN supplied with Abantecart.  I have logged in and out several times.  Then today it stopped working.  I have not changed anything.  I looked at my files and used
(www)(d0t)mysite(d0t)c0m/abantecart/admin/index(d0t)php as my admin path.  I get nothing back but a 404 error.  I looked at the INDEX.PHP file and I find no difference in all of my copies.

<?php
    header('Location: ../index.php');


Before hand, I did do an upload in my phpADMIN using SQL and it reported no errors

I don't know what to do
I want to get back into my ADMIN.

Thanks

Hello.
You don't need index.php in your admin subfolder of AbanteCart.
Just call index.php from cart root folder.
First of all you need to know value of ADMIN_PATH from your system/config.php. As default we propose "your_admin" word but you probably changed it during installation process.
Then type (www)(d0t)mysite(d0t)c0m/abantecart/index(d0t)php?s=value of ADMIN_PATH  (without "admin").

Hello.
You need to take value of constant UNIQUE_ID  from /system/config.php and insert into config of second instance of Abantecart.
This value using by hash generating function and works as "salt".
it made by security reason. For example, to prevent using md5 collision.
