Guys,

We discovered a serious bug in v4.3.6 package, so it was updated on March 5.

$session->cache_limiter = 'nocache';
diff can be found here: https://gist.github.com/incrize/adf4fe9bb626f739adf4

Hello,

I hope the anoying cookie notification will be updated. Suggestion is market as feature request. But it really...

:)
42

I am hoping to test this now on my new dedicated server with PHP 7 option. is SUPHP OK or does that not work with OPcaching? (DSO doesn't seem to be an option in the new MultiPHPManager)

We are going to launch prototype of Invoice editor next week. This is will be a demo store with our development git branch.

The objectives of this is to get your feedback on whether we are going the right direction.

Some news about the prototype ?

Does anyone who has updated to 4.3.6 know if the file comparison is back or not?

File comparison/conflicts are still not available in upgrades.

But you got all kinds of things customers never asked for....

47

Any chance you will fix the upgrade-process? In the latest versions there have been nothing but trouble. Cant remember the last time i did an upgrade without issues or errors.

We did a lot of improvements in upgrade process. And the one in 4.3.4-4.3.6 is pretty stable.

So if you faced some problems during upgrade and want them to be solved it better to provide the detailed bug report and post a link to it here instead of general statement.

49

It's not.

Not sure when we are going to add this. because it will lead to another significant changes in upgrade package which is not right at the moment.

Right now we just compare MD5 hash of files from the upgrade package and we do not have the original package files anywhere - so there are no files we can diff current files with.

50

We've been asking you to put it back since you took it away (about 2 years now).

It is critical for people to know what the differences in files are. Especially since the "Conflicts" generated by the upgrade are not reliable/accurate and so a compare of upgraded file to previous file is absolutely critical for upgrading client sites and determining why a conflict was generated and making modification to the new file.

See the open bug reports about upgrade conflicts. You're not meeting your stated resolution times.

51

I have tried a few times now on different days (in case of server load issues) to download the upgrade package in the upgrade centre and I get this error

"Warning Cannot download the upgrade package"

Any ideas on what I can do to resolve. Next stop is to report a bug or CSCART support but are there any obvious things I should check first.

Thanks

Paul

Make sure that file_get_contents function is working correctly in the server. There is an example of a test script in this article:

http://docs.cs-cart.com/4.3.x/user_guide/look_and_feel/logos_banners_images/problem_with_image_import.html

Also, please check the permissions for the var/upgrade directory.

If this does not help, please contact us via Customer Help Desk and provide temporary access to your server by clicking on the Add record link on the Access information page of your Help Desk account so that we could examine the issue.

53

OK, so this is what I found.

Permissions on /Upgrade and /Var/Upgrade is 755

I do get an error when I run the test script

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.myurl.com.au/store_closed.gif) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in /home/mydir/public_html/test.php on line 4

Does that mean I have a file_get_contents disabled problem.

54

hello,

A vendor can get the Pending status more than once
is there any possibility to make products visible when vendor get the pending status
and just hide the 'add to cart' button and Buy now with 1-click option.
In this case we let coustemer browse products, prices, and characteristics but they can not buy
or replace 'add to cart' with a not 'of line stor'

I might be stupid, but I just installed PHP 5.6.20, but is that compatible to PHP 7? So I only need to install CS-cart 4.3.6 and all is good? Or do I need to configurate some more on the server or in CS-Cart admin to get the best performance?

56

5.6.20 and 7 are different versions of PHP. For more information, please refer here: www.php.net

So I only need to install CS-cart 4.3.6 and all is good?

CS-Cart 4.3.6 is compatible with PHP 5.3.6 and higher. Please note that earlier CS-Cart versions are not adapted to PHP7.

Or do I need to configurate some more on the server or in CS-Cart admin to get the best performance?

If you want to improve performance, please upgrade your store to CS-Cart version 4.3.6 and change PHP version on your server to 7

. For more information about performance testing results please refer to our blog.

Just upgraded to 4.3.5 and then 4.3.6 and now every time an order is placed thru paypal, it returns to my store and has the alert in the top right corner that the customer cancelled the order, but it seems the order is going thru on some and I'm getting paid.

I'm using web payments standard.

Can anyone please assist on this as this will really confuse my customers.

thanks in advance for your time,

Matt

UPDATE: I never had to enable IPN before, but no that I've enabled it, the transactions seem to be completing normally. The hard part was finding the right IPN URL so I'm including the URL I used and paypal accepted here for anyone else that might be looking for it.:

https:///index.php?dispatch=payment_notification.return&payment=paypal

My hopes is implementation of suggested cookie notification for 4.3.7. It’s probably the most annoying thing i ever seen :stuck_out_tongue:

It seems 4.3.7 is on the horizon. Do you have an estimated released date of the new version? :-)
