General Support / Re: Cannot Upgrade from v1.4.2...

Last post by Basara - September 19, 2025, 07:08:09 AM

Hello.
Thank you for the details. The upgrade has successfully replaced the patched files, so the security fix is already applied. We've identified an issue on some servers where the version number is not being updated correctly in the interface.
To correct this, please manually edit the file: core/version.php and update it to:

Code Select Expand

<?php
define('MASTER_VERSION', '1');
define('MINOR_VERSION', '4');
define('VERSION_BUILT', '2.1');

I have been using AbanteCart since March and recently whenever I add an Item to the Cart it displays a blank page and When I log in in the backend it also displays a blank page. How do I get about this issue?

hi,
what about install/upgrade log?

The log shows no errors, every entry (6 for the upgrade) was green and the version column showed 1.4.2.1

However, backups etc., done after show it was 1.4.2 and the UI shows 1.4.2 as well. Repeating the process (as I get the upgrade notification every day) shows more green entries but no difference.

There are no error logs.

Thank you for your time in investigating this.

The template debug setting (system->settings->system) can be used to define the controller to utilize if the block is generic, like block/featured.php.

Could you provide more specific step

Hello.
For Cash on Delivery (no merchant integration), you won't see an automated refund option. Instead, you can simply add a credit transaction to the customer's account, which will act as the credit note in your records. Please see the guide Customer Transactions.

Thats great, but I need ideally to give a "Credit Note" (with a Credit Note unique Number) to the customer, so they can apply the credit to their system too.  Otherwise they just have a invoice which they may have paid and no way to negate the invoice.  Legally you cannot delete an invoice, so you raise a credit note to negate the amount paid.

If there is a way to create the credit note with a unique number and print it, then thats great... but I cannot see a way to do it...

So lets say (in our scenario) :

Customer Orders
Order Invoice is created and printed with an invoice number.
Order is delivered and cash is paid to the amount of the invoice.
Customer  / Company wishes to return the item (for whatever reason) and needs a refund and credit note.
I (as you say) can apply a credit on the Abante system, which will address the financials on Abante but the customer will need to be given a credit note (plus the cash funds).  This is the normal way this should be done.

We are a small business at the moment, but we might have to move to another solution, currently we are creating manual credit notes... which is not ideal

This looks like an admin display issue only, the promotion currency is actually tied to the base store currency you've set in your store settings. You can check or update that here: Base Currency settings. That said, this is a good catch 👍 Our developer team is already working on correcting the display, and the fix will be included in the upcoming AbanteCart 1.4.3 release. Thanks for reporting it!

Glad I could help.... I'm still working on the email templates.  I get what you have said, but the point I'm making is that we need additional hooks I think or words to that effect to bring in certain data, which is available elsewhere on other platforms. I'll get back to you on this when I get chance.

Just a couple of things I noticed which kind of hurt when we migrated over that seem to be missing or awkward from past other systems we used. To update my target wish list...  (thanks to others here)..

• 1 - Image logo on email and invoice
• 2 - Product Image on Invoice purchase line
• 3 - Include Sort Order in main product summary list, so this can be set quickly instead of having to go into each product individually to set.
• 4 - Add ability for GIF images to work as product images. For example i have some small short animated gifs that id prefer to use as images instead od the complexity of videos.
• 5 - Customisable Email Templates so we can create, save and send emails out with a nice logo formatted template to our customers.
• 6 - Fix currency issue on promotions. If you only have sterling as your currency,  for some reason the promotion only offers dollars as the discounted value
• 7 - Ability to credit refund an existing order to produce a credit note and update transaction logs so reports are accurate.  The actual account gateway would separately need to be used to complete the financial transaction refund which is fine, but we need to at least credit the order in abante first. AND produce a credit note.  This ensures reports in abante are also correct.

Status of above:

#1 - This has been resolved, but IDEALLY this should be included as a default feature.  This kind person on this thread https://forum.abantecart.com/index.php/topic,11403.msg43634.html#msg43634 explains how on post #5

#2 - This has also been resolved partly thanks to this kind person on this thread here https://forum.abantecart.com/index.php/topic,11403.msg43634.html#msg43634 with their post #9.  IDEALLY I want to add this same feature to the EMAIL (as I have said before, which would be great too). 

#3 - Not resolved - This REALLY is a straight forward change to a view I think and would massively improve the Abante.

#4 - Not resolved - This really is a nice to have...  BUT would be a VERY nice to have if it was possible.  Currently animated gifs just show the frame 1.

#5 - This is resolved partly, but needs enhancements.  Its a bit clunky and we need more hooks to pull data easily into the email template. 

#6 - This is pending a fix having been accepted as an issue.  This is not resolved and hopefully will be in a future release.

#7 - TBA.
