I created a subfolder, installed the Zen i currently use on our live site, 1.57C. then through php admin i imported a copy of the live database into the test data base. that's where it failed. I'm...

It's why i asked. I don't take things free without doing something. I don't know if it's appropriate to ask this question for not, so i'll ask it and you're free to ignore it. I'm aware the prices...

Hello. I'm finally getting around to upgrading from 1.57c to 1.58a and created test site and importing current data base into a test database, have done this before through the years without issue...

Thank you. I will. I have three hosting accounts. Two are coming new next year... so i'll check. thank you.

it used to be automatic. i do nothing, it backs up daily...everything, databases, websites, anything else, domains, settings, emails. etc. they just killed all of that which means i now have to pay...

Still with Blue Host mainly because they get me for years upfront. They just removed the free site backup pro from the service which automatically backed up the site, databases, etc. that was all...

MAP VERSION: if ($_POST['image_delete'] == 1) {
Zen version: if (isset($_POST['image_delete']) && $_POST['image_delete'] == '1') {

a number of these types of variations, in this case I remove...

Should I be overwriting the newer code with this older code. For example, the update_product.php file has more code in the newer zen version than does the MAP file of the same name. Is overwriting...

Suggestion, This is the kind of item that should automatically part of Zen as thanks to Amazon, Map pricing now pretty much enforced across the board.

Here's my opinion... my problem is being robbed by some of these guys proposing help. Zen Cart, if they offered a flat fee tech support fee, I would not be opposed to it because it keeps me from...

Hi, I'm getting this debug on zen:

--> PHP Warning: mysqli_connect(): (08004/1040): Too many connections in /includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 63.

any clue?

Two sites, both 1.57c. PHP 7.4 needed for site one to work. PHP8 works find with second site. Same addons, same bones... just different products. even same templates! Thanks

Okay, more drama.
As I started this thread, my customers were unable to check out. At page two of checkout process, where they enter the card, it just stops there..the continue button is not...

Thank you for that. That's what they told me at bluehost...i'll ask them about this right now.

Hi, for anyone with the same problem... all of this was caused by the web host who upped the PHP without any notice to me. This upgrade still allowed my site to be functional up until authorize.net...

And now this info too.

All was well and something changed. The only change was that i did a PCI compliance questionnaire and passed it no other changes to the site. Then, sales stopped..thought it was a slump but customer...

Wow... first, i would not put a site into an analyzer because it may retain that information and since too many Americans no longer have scruples, that information may be sold to lawyers praying on...

I really hate to bring this question forward but my attorney just told me that he has clients getting sued over this and settlements are around 35 grand per website in the USA.

It looks that there...

Hello Zen Cart-ians, which is what i suppose you'd call people who live in a state called Zen Cart? or would it be Zen Cart-ites?

So I installed Square and all is well until one our site sites...

Follow up... worked well. thank you to all.

other than looking at the top of the URL to find products_id...where do i find the products_id?

Hello to all. Question, I erased a product that was on my site for years. I made a mistake. I now need to put that item back but the bottom says "This product was added to our catalog on [today's...

I dropped the table shortly after you posted... well, we'll see what happens. I'll forego doing so on the second site. My two cents is... it was not hurting anything leave it and keep making money....

Thank you. I'll message you shortly. How likely do you think this drop will affect future installations?

I have a faint recollection of such an install. Not sure. I deleted the table and ran the utf8 converter again and this time without errors. Thank you.

When you say "dropped" you mean, gone? I went into myphp admin and took a snap shot of this area and expanded it. there are two images included here of what i'm talking about. See images. Dropped...

Hello, thank you for taking an interest. Had I not run the utft8 updater you suggested, I never would have found these errors. Dr Byte's contribution fixed everything the original updater did...

The only addons i use on these two sites were obtained from the zen plugin area (shipping, payment, backup mysql, easy update, etc). In fact, if there are plugins outside of zen's area, i'm not even...

Hello again. So, I've upgraded 3 sites. Two were upgrades and the two upgrades produced the identical errors after running the UTF8MB4 converter. Using your updated file that you posted, corrected...

I purchased and advise everyone who will listen to get a gaming screen. It's an absurdly long screen (probably the size of 3 large screens) but the workspace, i find, reduces stress big time. I do...

Just as a follow up... whatever tweaks i made over the years made it necessary for me to just do a fresh install. When i initially installed, i overwrote the old info and did the upgrade database,...

I updated one site... repeated same process exactly with a second site but now, none of the uninstalled modules will install. It goes to a blank page and just spins. The installed mods work fine..but...

Okay, I have another site, separate from the former. The exact same result. After an upgrade, Admin warning, had to run the UTF8 converter then your added lines to fix. After running everything i...

I never fall for this stuff... but this time, for some reason, it looked completely legit. anyway, check admin and database user password just in case. Is it safe to say Zen never emails us...right?

I received an email that looks like it's coming from Zen...it's so convincing, i did click the button but did not proceed. Is this legit? Should i have clicked the button...

Dr Byte, I'm having a heck of a time trying to provide you what you've asked for. I brought it up with bluehost and they told me to import into a new database. they then dropped the tables and...

I was just reminded that it's best to ask... I just asked a question on here, that had i asked it years ago, would have saved myself a ton of work! Learning from this, I'm going to just ask the...

Hello. I updated an older zen using the upgrade button during zc_install. The previous version worked fine with no warnings or loss of functionality. That being said, i never ran the php program on...

Wow, here i am suffering for years... Thanks people...three different solutions and i will try them all out to see which works best for me! Thank you!!!

Hello. A suggestion for the next version of Zen is auto sizing uploaded images for the expand view portion. If i sell something on ebay or another site and upload an oversized image, it automatically...

Let me premise what i'm about to say with this tidbit from my history: been burned by web workers more than once. That's why i got into ZenCart. I prefer control over the process especially in cancel...

Yes Dr Byte, it does Now there are only two errors in Red:
MySQL Error: Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key
MySQL Error: Duplicate key name...

i downloaded and ran the git hub files both the optional fix and then the utf8mb4 file... after having done all of this, the red letter warnings persist. here is a sum of all the red letter warnings...

i did a winmerge comparison of the latest file located at plugins and the git hub file you pointed to... they are identical.

I upgraded and now it doesn't work.
Result code: 2
0 => mysqldump: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
1 => mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for...

help me understand... i ran the converter. i backed up the database before. now I have to restore the previous database or go to git hub?

ummm is right. okay, i'm on it.

The warning is a sort of disclaimer then, as we live in a litigious world. Okay... thanks

the one built into the latest version 1.5.7c.. going onto host to do it takes time and log in, etc... the built in zen is very convenient and a smart addition, only that blasted warning!
