Customization help / Re: Novator slider customizati...
Last post by Basara - December 26, 2025, 01:35:55 AMHello.
A few general points that should help clear things up.
First, it's common practice to use the same image sizes and proportions as the original demo banners. You can always inspect the demo source and download the original images to see their exact sizes and aspect ratios https://www.abantecart.com/shopping-cart-demo
Second, since the carousel content is HTML, you do not need to upload images to any specific folder. You can upload images anywhere you like and simply reference the correct path in your HTML, replacing the original image path. The slider doesn't care about the physical location as long as the path is valid.
Also, in AbanteCart you don't need to manually upload images via FTP for this. In the HTML editor for the banner/block, there is an "Add Media" button. You can use that button to upload an image directly while editing the banner, and it will insert the correct path automatically.

Last post by MHaz - December 25, 2025, 11:24:00 PMAdded the forms manually, and it still doesn't want to work. At this point, I'm thinking it might be best to back up my database and images and reinstall.

Customization help / Novator slider customization
Last post by Jorge Contreras - December 25, 2025, 07:44:49 PMGreetings,
Just today I'm starting on abantecart, so I'm as newbie as it gets.
I'm running v1.4.2 on a linux machine, in case it matters.
Right now I'm trying to edit the Home page carousel, and the documentation tells me to edit the HTML directly in the carousel block, but there's no specifics about image types or size requirements. Or much of anything else actually.
By inspecting the page and searching my shop's files, I've figured out where to upload the new image files to, but I haven't been able to get the images to act right. On my laptop they kind of work, but not on my phone.
Here's what it looks like on the laptop: https://drumdr.com/drum-sales/
I've tried resizing in the HTML, but it seems to have no effect at all.
Suggestions?

There was one syntax error during the sql update, but I was able to power through it by running each individual command by itself.

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

why is this not working, have the exact same settings in v1.3.4, setting up v1.4.2 on same server but email is failing. And running php v8.3 Need some help!
I had this exact same issue (and still do).
Its not the credentials, because these work fine on a separate vanilla install on the same server, same domain as a test.
Something is not storing the credentials somewhere or there is a change between updates breaking the working functionality, I mean, I have manually checked every file and just dont get why it doesnt work. File and Folder permissions were not correct I might add, following an update, but this was sorted and still doesnt solve the issue.
Let me know if you sorted it.

Last post by MHaz - December 23, 2025, 03:20:26 PMOk, so I'm an idiot... I forgot the semicolon at the end of the "include..." line.
Ran the update again. Still only have the ContactUsFrm in my Forms Manager.
Can I add the forms manually, or is there something else under the hood that isn't working, too?
