excellent!!!

uploading now… Will be testing today.

Ditto for me…installing it now.

Testing now

Wow, what a great changelog! I would be testing it out but for the last week I’ve not been able to access FTP because of problems with my ISP :frowning:

Is this one ok for live site or should we still wait to final I did not see the warning like RC2 not to install it.





EDIT: Never mind I see there is still the warning in the helpdesk… Any idea on the stable version yet?

One question, did groups for like color, size and such make it in to 1.3.3 I was told it would be in there but don’t see it in the list there.

We’ve simplified this functionality a little - it’s possible to add global product options and then link or copy them to the products.

[quote name=‘zeke’]global product options[/QUOTE]

Thanks Zeke, works great. I still have a problem when logging into admin I get kicked back out with the “denied access” message, it appears to be a session error but I don’t know for sure, the other problems related to MySQL 5+ appear to have been resolved.

One bug I noticed, when trying to place a phone order (create an order from the backend) and i try to look for customers (in case of repeat customer) the search does not retrieve any results. I tried searching by the city, zip, name - using Customer, Customer setting. Please confirm if it’s a bug or what…



Thank you

Hi guys



I found a bug with trying to place an order from the backend. When searching for an existing customer (Customer, Customer) using the backend demo, cs-cart failed to locate a customer. Please respond.



Thanks

Just checked and found all customers :). Please be sure that state and country fields are set to needed values.

Hi Zeke,



Thank you. It does work indeed. Apparently it was the state that was set by default for some reason that I did not take into consideration.



Cheers.

I have too found this bug annoying that it defaults to states when it shoudl be blank.

I made this comment to zeke the day of the release…its not a bug perse , just bad design.

Hi Zeke



I was just trying to create options for my product. I need 4 options - 75ml, 250ml, 1000ml and 1000ml with pump



What happens is that the options work great without inventory tracking with options enabled. As soon as I enable the inventory tracking with options and click on edit inventory numbers and then add all four options with different quantities on hand using the “Add New” button it can only handle two options. The other two just vanish as non-existent.

When I create a global option and link it to this product and follow the same steps - I can only add up to 3 options. What is this weird stuff???



I also would like to have different SKUs for different options. Althought the latter is less important then the bug that I referred to.



Thank you for your help in advance.

Also it does not account for the weight of options - the “x” used to give me a field for weight for each option as well as a sku.



Imagine a situation - I sell a bag of rice in 10 lbs, 25lbs, 50lbs, 100lbs



The price for each is different, and so is the weight.



How do i go around it?



I do not want to create a bunch of the same products for customers to get confused. It is easier to click on a bag of rice - then select its size and then get a shipping quote in real time depending on the weight of that particular option.





PS I’m not selling rice LOL just an example

Please post these in the Bug tracker, under Feature/Requests…



Very valuable points made.
