Hi Derek,
I'm not sure what you mean by using an older database with new files? My server offers zen cart and it installs with Fantastico, there were other databases on the server before adding zen, if that's what you mean.
I don't understand why everything would work fine if the faq manager SQL patch is not installed?
Is there a way for me to manually add these missing variables to get it working properly?
As I said I'm a complete noob so please bear with me if I am missing an obvious point.
Thanks!
Matt
