v151 YOUR_ADMIN/includes/local/configure.php ... a gotcha and a solution

lat9 — Sun, 19 May 2013 19:47:23 GMT

ALERT: THIS NOTE APPLIES ONLY TO THE "includes/local/configure.php"
THIS DOES *NOT* APPLY TO either /includes/configure.php FILE!!!!!!

---------------

If you're running a debugging copy of your store in your localhost environment and using the /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/local/configure.php override, there's a teeny gotcha (not present in the /includes/local/configure.php override in your storefront).

When the directory constant DIR_FS_ADMIN is generated, it's assumed :ohmy: that the configure.php file is in the /includes directory:

Code:

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../') . '/');

Unfortunately, it's one directory step down so that the DIR_FS_ADMIN constant winds up being /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/ instead of /YOUR_ADMIN/. Anyway, the correction is to go back another directory level:

Code:

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../') . '/');

v151 Image Urls

rehopper — Thu, 09 May 2013 00:01:46 GMT

Can ZC use remote image files or must they reside with the installation?
My attempts to utilize remote result in no images & find their url being prefixed with my store's url.

My Shipping is Taxed and don't want it o

palmislandinc — Sun, 05 May 2013 02:28:12 GMT

I have looked everywhere. I have the USPS shipping plug in but I think this should be in the store configurations.

There should only be tax on the sub total, not on shipping or handling. Where in ZenCart 1.5.1 do you change it so tax is not on shipping costs?

Thanks
Karen

Ooops, after 2 days, I found it. Under Shipping for USPS

Tax Class
Use the following tax class on the shipping fee.

Should be NONE

v151 WYSIWYG editor with image upload

sports guy — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 00:19:01 GMT

I am looking for a WYSIWYG plugin editor that has direct image upload for the EZ pages.

I am using:
Zen Cart v1.5.1
CK Editor v3.6.5

The client would like to upload images directly in the editor for the EZ pages. The CKEditor does not have this ability, you have to upload elsewhere and then just link to it (at least my version does not have image upload capability). I looked for another editor with this capability and found the: TinyMCE Plugin but it looks like the last compatible version is 1.3.9.

Where can I find a WYSIWYG editor for the EZpages, that has image upload capability? My clients do not have the ability nor know-how to upload images to the server then link to them. I have got to be missing something here.

v151 Re-Run Install on Live Store - Help!!!

shadowpdx — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 00:07:51 GMT

Hope someone can help...........I was uploading some files to a live store and accidentally (I think) overwrote the configure.php file in the admin folder. I think that because when I added the module files that I was working on, I just hit the "upload" button without realizing that I had the store admin folder highlighted and my local configure file was uploaded in addition to the other files in the admin folder .... I am getting the page saying "Thank You for uploading Zen Cart". The store was live at this time and I can't reach the store nor admin. I tried manually editing the configre.php file to put in the values for the remote server but the site hasn't come back on line yet.

Can I re-run the install script and recover the store?

Thanks for any help! AARGH!!!!!!

How to hide warnings from store front?

tifischer — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:12:33 GMT

I would only like the warnings to appear on the admin side and not the store front. How do I turn off warnings for the store front only?
