Upgrade / Migration tool checker ?

Last post by ixl - February 02, 2026, 09:17:52 AM

Hi,

I wondered if anyone could help me on a couple of points below please?

1, Is there a way or do you have a means to migrate the dataset, so we know its in line with the latest update?

I mean, I have what I think is a partly broke install, its either a DB or actual program file issue, but I still have not fully resolved it.

Its based around the emailing from the template, where I am certain the update broke the program or db somewhere along the line, so I am having to use a separate installed location, but I'd rather fix the original db or program.

To do this, I would like somehow to run a migration tool to check the db and constraints are all correct and fix, if there are discrepancies, among everything else, so I can be sure the db is correct and in line.  The same goes for the abante files themselves.  Any ideas would be helpful.

I seem to remember phpbb having a tool or script to do this, but cannot seem yet to see anything here for abante.

Unless the only way to do this is do a manual install, is that the only way?

2, Also, something I noticed with regards to the export tool for migrations,  going forward this would be ideal to have abante listed as well, so we can export and import to separate installs.  Seems strange you dont list abante as well?

Ideally the update should both inform before hand and force the theme to the new one.  Good to know though, cheers for sharing fixes.

I'm curious about how to customize the layout and blocks in AbanteCart without affecting the original files in the theme folder. Are there best practices or methods for achieving this?

This is a solid thread. The key detail about empty categories not showing in the Novator "All Categories" menu clears up a lot of confusion for new users.

Hi guys, any news on this topic ? I would be very interested in a quotation cart - You really should take into consideration this point because so many B2B companies make the price of a product on the base of many other parameters, like if you need 5 item on spot or you want to buy 4000 pcz a year for the next 3 years... Abantecart is just amazing - I really like it, so well done, and it's so sad to turn off the page and skip this solution because there is no such an option. And as I said... B2B company would love to have a quotation cart - where I select products and quantities and the final result is request of quotation via e-mail. It's also much easier then going through a payment process...
Can you advice, if it would be possible to modify the scripts to get this result ?
Thank you - I have already made a working website with quotation system in Joomla
but I am not very happy of the backend for managing the catalog and also the SEO performance are not great...
Thanks in advace to anyone commenting my post.

Support / Re: testing email

Last post by ixl - January 11, 2026, 04:58:34 PM

Hello,
Your SMTP server may block emails due to factors such as domain reputation, sending frequency, content or other restrictions.

Its not.

The reason I know this is because I added a separate fresh installment of abante on the same domain, just in a different folder with the same email details and it worked.

Something im fairly sure is breaking the site email function between updates.

So what i have had to do is import all my customers and products again to the new deployment and then move the site location to the original location.

Its the only way I got it sorted out and took ages.

Hello.
Categories are meant to list products, so AbanteCart shows the "There are no products in this category." message when none are assigned. If you want an info-only page, create it under Design > Content and add it to your menu. Otherwise, you can change that message in Language Definitions (search for the phrase and edit it).

To delete the scam customer: Admin > Sales > Customers, select the customer, then click Remove.

How-to questions / Category used to provide infor...

Last post by johnsma2000 - January 09, 2026, 12:15:37 AM

I have created a Category, that appears in my Menu bar, to provide information in the description field that I want displayed on the website for customers to glean information. The category displays in the menu bar and the information displays as I want, with NO Products. However, directly below the information is "There are no products in this category." Is there a way to turn this statement OFF? If not, where do I find this statement text and attributes to change the font color to the background color to make it disappear?

The other issue is: How do I delete a customer that is clearly a scam. All fields were clearly filled out by a computer with crazy entries (oewipt98ypq3476tuh;ofhpiu) kind of stuff. I disapproved the customer but can't figure out how to actually delete the entry in case it is an AI bug attempt.

Thanks in advance for your help or suggestions.

Hello,

Yes. You can delete customer accounts from Sales > Customers.
See the guide here: https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/11010120/List+Customers

To minimize spam registrations, enable CAPTCHA for customer registration in the store settings.
