General Support / Re: Product Reviews, Transaction list and invoices
« on: Today at 07:56:15 AM »
Hello.
For managing product reviews, you might find this section of the AbanteCart documentation helpful:
https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/9994245/Products+Reviews
It covers how to approve, manage, and display reviews.
Regarding transactions, these are a core part of most eCommerce systems, as they provide a record of customer account activities like refunds, manual adjustments, or loyalty credits.
That said, if you’d prefer not to show the transactions section on the customer dashboard, it is possible to hide or modify elements like that by editing the storefront code.

Support / Re: Error log image issues
« on: Today at 02:04:20 AM »
Thank you for the kind words, glad to hear you’re enjoying AbanteCart’s front end! We appreciate your feedback and are happy to know the upgrade to 1.4.2 went smoothly.
In the meantime, while your hosting support looks into resolving the issue with WebP image handling, feel free to safely use standard image formats like JPG or PNG. These formats are fully supported and should work without any issues as you continue adding content.

General Support / Re: Disabling/Enabling stores in a multi-store set up
« on: June 30, 2025, 01:13:07 AM »
Hello.
In the admin panel, you should still see the store selector even if multiple stores are currently disabled. Additionally, when you edit a store’s settings, you’ll notice the URL includes something like store_id=0. You can manually change that ID in the URL to access the settings page of other stores, this can be helpful if, for some reason, the store selector isn’t visible.

Support / Re: Error log image issues
« on: June 30, 2025, 01:08:37 AM »
Hello.
The image error you’re seeing is most likely related to the PHP GD library on your server. Specifically, older versions of GD don’t support WebP format, which can trigger those types of errors even if you’re not directly uploading WebP images yourself—AbanteCart or the browser might be trying to serve them automatically if supported.
The good news is that this is usually an easy fix. I recommend contacting your hosting provider and asking them to make sure the server has an up-to-date version of PHP with full GD and WebP support enabled.
When you say the database was “corrupt,” could you clarify what exactly made you think that? Were there specific errors or behaviors? Often, a proper backup restore should resolve most issues unless the backup itself was incomplete or taken while the database was in an unstable state. If you have any logs or symptoms you noticed before the crash, it might help narrow down the root cause.

Tips and Tricks / Exploring Cursor AI for Cloning Themes – Share Your Prompts!
« on: June 27, 2025, 09:08:58 AM »
Hi everyone! 👋
I’ve been experimenting with Cursor AI to clone the Novator theme into a new extension for AbanteCart. The process involves copying PHP, SQL, and XML files, updating paths, class names, and layout configs etc.
It worked quite well, but as Cursor AI adapts based on the input, I’m curious:
👉 What prompts or approaches have you tried when using AI tools with AbanteCart?
👉 Any tips for improving the cloning process or making templates more flexible with AI?
Would love to hear your experiences, suggestions, or even test cases!

Support / Re: 403 error only for the settings area
« on: June 24, 2025, 02:29:24 AM »
Hello.
Based on your description, it does sound like a Web Application Firewall (WAF) configuration issue. Most often, it is related to ModSecurity or similar server-side security rules.
Temporarily disable ModSecurity again, and this time wait at least 1 hour before testing the admin settings area.
If the issue still persists after that, it’s best to reach out to your hosting provider’s support team.

Hello.
Please review the slider block in the Admin panel
https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/12582976/Banner+Slider#Novator-theme-sliders
There, you’ll see the current image paths. You can also upload new images using the Add Media button.

Installation and Configuration / Re: AbanteCart Cart Extension Nightmare
« on: June 19, 2025, 09:31:06 AM »
Hello.
Really appreciate your thoughtful suggestions 👍
Just to share a bit of common practice that might help in the meantime: it’s usually a good idea to run any AbanteCart upgrade first on a test or cloned site. That way, you can spot any issues or extension warnings before going live.
Also, in terms of extension compatibility, if you go to the extension’s page on the AbanteCart Marketplace, you’ll usually see which versions of AbanteCart it’s officially compatible with.

If and when receipts are automatically sent to contributors after they contribute, I will again contribute. Having said that I appreciate all your work and for all of those in the open source world.
Thank you very much for your contribution and your kind words of support. We truly appreciate your involvement and recognition of the work put into the AbanteCart project and the broader open-source community.
