What a shame, I did like Abantecart, to bad there is no tech support. I guess it is going to be Opencart. I have invested a lot of time and energy into this platform I wish I would have known that there was no support before I started.

I have been accessing the code through file manager in cpanel. I also used FTP once. If you are saying that I should be accessing it through the Abantecart admin could you tell me where to access that.

Hi, I tried many variations on the code snippet which was recommended. None have made any change in the storefront. There must be some way to do this. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, I inserted the code but it did not change the storefront. Here are the modified lines, is this right? I changed free, to choose option below the added code starts on line 19

   if (!$display_price) {
         $item['price'] = '';
      }
if ( substr($product['price'],1) == '0.00' ) {
            $product['price'] = 'Choose Option Below';
         }
      $review = $button_write;
      if ($item['rating']) {
         $review = $item['rating'];

Hi, I am hoping that I can remove the (0.00) directly under the Blurb both on the product page and on the product details page. the products have several options with prices so I can not enter a price in the product price field. I have tried to replace the 0.00 with text but that didn't work and removing the 0.00 and saving doesn't work either.

Ok Thanks for the tip, removing the (.) fixed the issue. When I read the instructions on the Abantecart  documentation site, the dot was there, Not knowing better I thought it belonged on the end of the name. I think, without going back to look, that it probably was suppose to be a period.

Hi, I changed .htaccess.txt to .htaccess. and turned on SEO Urls My store is installed at root so I think that is all I needed to do, however all of my categories stopped resolving. When I turned off SEO URLS in settings all the links came back. What am I missing?

Nope unfortunately I am not a programer

That's good to know and I will need to do that. However, I am building a drill down architecture for the menu system. For instance, The home category is in this case (Ford) / first sub (2011) Second sub (f-150) / Third sub "options" (with console) (without console) etc. to drill down to the correct product. My problem is that I need to use the same sub categories for the years 2012, 2013, and 2014 which were all the same body style. Ideally I would like to be able to assign the sub categories to multiple menu strings or be able to copy them. Is this possible or would I need to build each instance individually. What I am building as you see is a huge undertaking, so any thing I can do to streamline the process would be a big help.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi, I am hoping that there is a way to copy or duplicate categories. I am building an automotive website and many of the categories are applicable to multiple model years, so I need to have the same sub categories over multiple years and models.

Is there any way to use sub categories under multiple categories at the same time?

Thanks,

Dave

Thank you, The hosting company was able to get it fixed.

Hi, I hope noone minds if I use this thread since I am having the same problem. Here is the result I got in the error txt file

I have been trying to install this thing for hours now and have tried everything I can think of.
