Thanks.  I attempted exactly that. 

Following the file upload I had to modify the SQL, as it had a table prefix which was not present in my 1.0.2 installation.

Once that was done the SQL worked fine - but the DIR_SYSTEM definition is NOT recognized, so all paths are broken.

David

I was attempting to update a 1.0.2 cart to 1.0.3

May have to replace the cart...

David

I understand the time scale issues.  We are still involved in design activities ourselves, so the timing is good.

We will be doing a number of addon projects which will need to affect quantity on hand tracking throughout the cart.  It will be best for us if we have methods which will remain stable, so I appreciate your efforts here.

Thanks.

Attempting to backup existing 1.0.2 install before upgrading.

Receive error:

Error: cannot to pack /somepath/admin/system/backup/manual_backup_2012-07-02-10-40-20.tar.gz Exit code:

Note:

1. Correct English would be "Cannot pack to" rather than "cannot to pack"
2. No exit code is reported.
3. Path is writable to file owner, but not to group or other.

David

Is this link still current ??

David

I have not found any instructions for doing a manual upgrade of an existing site.

Given that Abantecart does track install and upgrade activities, there would seem to be more steps than simply uploading the files and running the sql file.  Any pointers???

David

The line in which the error is triggered is doing a get on smtp configuration values which are not setup on this cart.  (we're using PHP mail).

Temporary fix:

Comment out lines 141 to 145, inclusive.  Reload the page.

The password update email was sent and I was able to log in.

David

I get the following error on attempt to complete password reset:

Fatal error: Cannot access protected property AMail::$hostname in /home/lifesolu/public_html/dev/admin/controller/pages/index/forgot_password.php on line 141


Please advise.

David

try setting the product weight in US measurement.

2 important points before you change core code:

1. I suggest to extend class rather than change it. This will prevent issues with future upgrades.
2. If you think this is missing or important feature, you can suggest it for us to develop, or even better, you can develop it and suggest for us to add it to the core.

I thought suggesting core feature developments was what this sub-forum was about.  We're looking to prevent issues with future upgrades and are asking the core development team to encapsulate this as a method because it extends the standard API in such a way as to limit the impact of future development. 

David

Looking at core/lib/cart.php - I think what we would need would be to have a method added, say checkQOH or checkQuantity that encapsulates existing checks against quantity on hand.

This should allow us to add the additional controllers we need...

Excellent!

David

Thank you Andrew.

So, to recap for clarity:

1.  delimited files do not insert at all in 1.0.2, but will in 1.0.3
2. A single Action column is used for each row
3. Available actions include "insert", "update", "update or insert" and "delete"


Further questions:

A. Are the actions case sensitive?
B. Will the logic recognize references to non-existing resources and insert them as well ?
C. What happens if an index for say, manufacturer or category references an entry which does not exist ??


At present, this tool seems extremely focused on dealing with data from Abantecart itself.  This would not be the most common use scenario, so I'm curious as to what plans are to address external sources which have no knowledge of the Abantecart data structures....

David

I'm not looking for a way to serve up quantity on hand to the customer, but for checks of requested quantity against quantity on hand.

It would appear to be necessary to add this to existing controllers....

David

Thanks Andrew,

That is just what I needed to know.
