Zen Cart 155e

I'm not so sure about the filters because I'm also getting url's in the name fields.

The harm is damage to your reputation. You are not the target of the attack . . . merely the tool. The account creation sends an email to the email address provided containing spam and links to...

Are they all coming from ip address in Russia?

This is not a bug per se since it was caused by Bluehost on all their servers. However, Zen Carts...

You're definitely right. Bluehost broke this when they did an upgrade to all their servers. I know this because I have two different zencart stores on two different Bluehost servers that introduced...

Hey mc12345678, thanks!

I took out the first if condition and assignment (i.e. lines 783-784)

(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) {
$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];

Hey lat9, thanks!
Using your php code as instructed, output among other things the following

,'REMOTE_ADDR' => '#.#.#.#',
,'SERVER_ADDR' => '#.#.#.#',

Hey mc! Thanks so much! That is very helpful. For the longest time I somehow got it into my head that it was available to the customer on the front end. I'm a bit embarrassed . . . over the years I...

Will it mess up the operation of my existing Zen Cart store if I occasionally run the above SQL Patch to bump up the value of customers_id for the next new customer?

Hey lankeeyankee, Good to know! So you've been running your cart with with SESSION_TIMEOUT_CATALOG set to around 1 year. That gives me more confidence to set mine to a month or two. Also, your use of...

Thanks DrByte!
I finally got this to work just as you suggested. So, I've set it to 14400 (4 hours).
I'm thinking of setting it to 1 month. Anything I should monitor?

Hey RodG, Those are some useful insights. Thanks! So, I think my original plan may not be as good as I hoped.
However, I still don't like that the new customer who has just been presented with the...

Do the Zencart Payment Modules Authorize.net (SIM) and Authorize.net (AIM) include the Level II and Level III data in transactions which are needed to get better card processing interchange rates?

Yes, shared hosting at BlueHost.

I added that non-syntactical garbage (adfgffdfhf erewererer) to the same file to see if I could get it to produce the myDEBUG-xxxxx-yyyyyy.log file which as I mentioned previously it did. I just did...

I was thought I would see a new myDEBUG-xxxxx-yyyyyy.log file. But there are just old ones. So I added some non-syntactical garbage to the code just...

Hmm. I was so excited to try such an elegant solution. However, it breaks my Zen Cart. More specifically, adding the file/includes/extra_configures/my_set_session_timeout_catalog.php containing only...

However, for example, changing the 900 in sessions.php


if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG === true) {
if (PADSS_ADMIN_SESSION_TIMEOUT_ENFORCED != 0 && SESSION_TIMEOUT_ADMIN > 900) {
$SESS_LIFE =...

I was hoping just a small change to /includes/functions/sessions.php would do the trick.

For example, I tried changing the line $SESS_LIFE = 1440 to $SESS_LIFE = 14409 yet the cart still was gone...

I want to allow shoppers who have not logged in to keep items in their cart for several hours instead of the default which I believe is 1440 seconds (24 minutes).

I looked at Admin>Config>Sessions...

RodG, thanks so much for explaining php memory_limit.

I noticed that some of my hosting accounts have a php memory_limit of 128M and others 256M.
Is there any reason to think that 256 is better or worse than the recommended 128M?
For example will 256...

Thanks so much lat9 for pointing that out. That it includes a link to allow you to change that value sure saves time finding the correct admin->Configuration page

Hi John, thanks for sharing.
What version of Zen Cart are you using?
What version of Responsive Sheffield Blue V 2.0 are you using?

I'm using Zen Cart 1.5.5a.

I may be mistaken but from what I think you described you may be in for a big surprise. Zen Cart is probably going to be instead of rather than an adjunct to your existing eCommerce html site.

I suspect you lost your original template modification when you upgraded for the same reason you will lose this one when you upgrade again in the future . . . because your changes to...

Great Anne! However, it's been a couple of weeks since you "submitted an updated template package for compatibility with 1.5.5x," and I can't find it anywhere.
Can you provide a link to it?

The answer is no. PayPal Payments Advanced (offered since 2012) still cannot be used with Zen Cart.

PayPal Payments Pro = $30 PayPal Cost per...

Yes, you are a good guesser! This installation was on a Zen Cart that has been repeatedly upgraded since the beginning of time.

Hi Anne,
I know you've been busy so I'm not sure what to do.
It's been a couple months since you hoped to have the template updated for Zen cart v1.5.5 finished soon. I'm wondering if there is a...

Problem fixed. Not sure how since I tried several things. However, it seems that clicking on admin>Tools>Layout Boxes Controller somehow did the trick.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm excited to see it since you seem to be saying the "different plugin" "offers additional fields."
