Any one using Maria 10.11 version with AbanteCart?  If so, seeing any issues?

With the change of centos to either AlamaLinux or CloudLinux  there are some small differences.  But the biggest one is the Maria was 10.6,   and now the leap is to 10.11.

in all cart version since adding Fast Checkout (which we really like)  there is one enhancement that would add a lot of clarity to customers buying on the Fast Checkout. 

Not all customers,  especially stores with middle -age to order customers ,  are fluent in icons.
My client admins all complain about their customers not being able to understand how to add an address alternative,  not edit an existing one  when they are in the checkout process. 

If you run the process as a customer you will see the current EDIT button ONLY takes you to the page to edit and EXISTING address.  Yes,  there is the right pane with the Manage Address Book,  however  most customer do NOT understand then need to be in the Address Book  to add another address.

We would like to request that you add  both the New Address and the Edit(with text)  buttons on the checkout process.
The ones that are in the Address Book.

Please refer to the attached image.

Thank you in advance for considering this.    We, as developer of extensions and service providers to AbanteCart admins,  have been making those adjustments to save our admins from customer confusion and complaints.  Hoping you will find it a positive improvement in the new 1.4.0

Hello,  Can we still use PayPal Pro in 1.3.3,   there is no version in a clean install.  But an upgraded version still has it.  One of my clients has PayPal Pro for all it's features  -  need to know if it will continue to be updated in future versions of AbanteCart.

Stripe V 1.1.2  that latest version using the connector works.   But  on the customer statements   the identifier is ONLY showing the Order number.   We have verified that the Public business information is set up correctly within the Stripe account to show the company name.   We can find no other place to force the use of the statement descriptor.  Nor do we know how the ShoppingShopping is originating

This is what is showing up within our Card account info - 
Nov 3, 2022   ORDER #10807   ShoppingShopping   $22.70   
The ShoppingShopping  should be the company name as showing in our Stripe Account info.  How do we get it to do so?

I have reached out to Stripe support  about this.  Below is the reply from my phone conversation.  Perhaps it will help you get to the solution quicker.

Hi Lee,

Thank you for accepting my call earlier about the information shown to your customer, glad we were able to find a solution.

Just a quick review of what we've accomplished today, you've mentioned that you've already entered your information in the "Public business information" section of your Stripe dashboard, however, your customer cannot see the store or site name; only see the order ID.

I've informed you that since there is no option to enter the order ID in your dashboard, then it means the information showing in your customer's statements are coming from the side of your platform (AbanteCart). Having said that, I would recommend reaching out to them so that they can look into it.

In case it helps, you can also share with them our Stripe documentation regarding statement descriptors:

If we can be of further help, feel free to reach out to us any time.

Best regards,
Ros

Is there a valid reason as to why there is no Placeholder input field in Selectbox and checkbox in global attributes?
There is a Placeholder field in input type.

For admins you have the same option setting for a lot of products -  it is time consuming to have to input that each time into a new product  and it is easy to forget the necessity for doing it.

seems on v 1.3.1 and 1.3.2  even if the store settings are set to ounces and inches  or whatever  I am unable to change the default in weight classed or length classes

Clicking on Edit brings up the info box but input to change the value field will not work.  It will not allow a delete or a new input. 

this is occurring on ALL of my installations on multiple servers.  The rest of the site seems to function as expected.  But for sites that had inches and feet set previously and worked but since updating to 1.3.1 it is using the core settings of Centimeter and Kilogram thereby making admins remember to check the designation for new product adds.

suggestions or bug?

Hi Guys,
I encountered some odd behavior with banner image and banner block.   Some images had been set to off after Christmas last year.  Other images in banner images had been turned on and arranged with sort order  and appear correctly in the home page of the site. 

However,  the banner block , which contained the off images was only turned to off for the block. The new On images have not been added to the block until today. 

The oddity is the reports on banner stats shows clicks for 10 months,  no views. 

My question is why is an OFF condition recording clicks to something that cannot be seen on the site?

This is in AbanteCart 1.3.1,  but occurred from 1.2.16,  and 1.3.0

I updated a new client site from a 1.2.0 version established in 2014 and never touched by the client.  The resource images were retina,  with high dpi.   His images need lots of detail in them and with the high dpi  they did.  It seems in 1.2.0  the resources image was used and scaled to the size to be displayed in various places with the cart.

How 1.2.16 handles retina is much different it seems.   The Resource image is resized in the thumbnails.  Then when the retina option in settings is enabled,  the thumbnail  is adding the 2x. 

Yes I have cleared cache etc.  It all looks great on non - retina screen.  Looks great on emulated retina screen.   Client says it look really bad on his Apple and his iPhone.
Is adamant that the image needs to be the resource image as in 1.2.0. 

Have I missed some setting?   Any suggestion as how to manage the originating images? Site is using php 7.3 currently with the AbanteCart 1.2.16?
