Good morning, DrByte,
As you understand these SSL processes in quite some detail, you may see little need for study, but for someone (such as myself) who is at present basically clueless, some...
mc12345678,
The SSL issue is a bit too complicated for me to figure out at present, at least without some solitary study to become more familiar with the process, so I've placed the issue on the...
Sorry, Carl,
You wrote . . .
. . . but I didn't see your post until after posting my Success! note. You were exactly right: I had neglected to enter the definition for DIR_WS_CATALOG. ...
kobra, mc12345678, carlwhat, et al.,
Success! I discovered a minuscule error that I'd made in my includes/configure.php file that (of course) caused decidedly un-minuscule failures on my store...
mc12345678,
I did in fact recreate the data in my includes/configure.php from the data in my admin/includes/configure.php. I've also at this point managed (with HostGator's help) to reestablish...

Thanks for your help here and in your earlier posting. You write:
The Zen Cart configure.php files allow the entry of two separate server URLs, one for the HTTP server and one...
carlwhat,
Thanks kindly for the direction. I did discover that somehow I managed to wipe out practically all of the unique configuration data in my includes/configure.php file. I've restored...
Good morning, kobra,
You ask:
I do happen to use Notepad++, v. 6.9.1 (still with the kludgy desktop icon, for sentimental reasons). Whatever happened essentially reset my configure.php...
kobra,
Thanks for the direction. I opened /includes/configure.php and changed this line:
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false'); [Originally it read 'true'.]
I uploaded the edited configure.php file...
swguy,
You assert:
This assertion is incorrect. All of my current links work save for the Contact Us and the Log In links. I already knew that my Log In link doesn't work, but that's a...
To whom may help:
A few days ago I completed a new install of Zen Cart 1.5.5 using a Toshiba laptop still running Windows Vista Home Version (2007) and installed to a website hosted by HostGator. ...
Hi lat9,
Yep, that worked like Balin in Moria, after one little glitch. I typed in the code "exactly" as you presented it, but it still didn't work. After some head-scratching and perhaps just a...
DrByte,
Works like a charm! In case you're interested in the practical result, I'll share this link to my first page using this new functionality:

Asking about variables:
A couple months ago, I began using an includes statement to incorporate boilerplate into my product descriptions. I first began using the statement (incorporated into my...
Ajeh,
Thanks for the reply. I had already created two test reviews to check my customized template (tpl_product_reviews_default.php). I made both test reviews, though, for the same product, so...
During customization,
I customized the listing template for product reviews (tpl_product_reviews_default.php), and matters seemed well in hand. Of course I stored the customized template in my...
About the Who's Online count,
I know this thread is somewhat dated, but as it's still active, I'll post this note in case it saves someone else some frustration. My site developed the same...
mc12345678,
Fixed, fine, and flying right along. Now I'm going to bed before the gremlins come in force to exact revenge.

mc123456789,
My first expectation (and *still* my strong suspicion) was exactly that, that my webhost (Host Gator) had made some change in the host servers that caused my ZC installations (login...
lat9,
I've resolved this problem finally, but not to my satisfaction, and not in a way that will likely have any value to you. Here's the situation in synopsis:
From the time that I first...
lat9,
Please pardon the delay in responding. I've been wrestling with this issue since your last response, and have yet to find a solution. I do have some additional information that may bear on...
gjh42,
Best wishes on SPD!
I realize this matter of the sort label is quite trivial, but studying it does help me understand some key principles in the operation of the ZC programming. I...
stevesh,
Just now I discovered a bit of a complication. The values that I entered for Configuration > Product Listing > Product Listing Descending [Ascending] Sort Order appear in both the Item...
lat9,
These little imbroglios certainly do lead to interesting knowledge. I wasn't sure if you meant for me to collect the cookie information for my site as viewed by visitors or for my Admin...
lat9,
Thanks for your attention. I've never (ashamed to say) even looked at the Configuration > Sessions module. The settings for both domains are identical (save the Session Directory, of...
An odd development:
I have two ZC installations, both functioning through subdomains on my main domain. For both installations, I use the same username but different passwords to access the Admin...
For crying out loud, stevesh,
I spent a good two hours this morning and another hour or so this afternoon trying to corral this errant hyphen. I must have looked at that Product Listing...
Well, twitchtoo,
Of course you hit the nail on the head. Partly I'm glad that the solution turned out to be so simple, but the simplicity sure makes me look stupid, or at least careless in my...
For my product listing page,
I have three columns following the default layout: Product Image, Product, Price. The Product column (center column) has exactly this heading: Product- I don't...
twitchtoo,
Honestly, I felt sure that I had studied that template practically to death, but when I read your note I sighed and took one last quick glance at it, just to report that I had, and sure...
lat9,
Thanks for responding. As a result of your response, I discovered where to find the country list (in a mySQL table, duh), and of course I learned (as you pointed out) that the default...
Regarding this select box,
how might I adjust the width? The widths of most other fields in this template are determined by the database settings, but I can't find the width setting for the...
gjh42,
You wrote:
So did I, until I realized that I didn't. That's the obvious solution that I was overlooking: I didn't at all need to use the model numbers in the ZC system, just in my...
Resolved to my satisfaction:
Briefly recapitulated, I faced the challenge of adding about 500 products, all of which had 10 to 20 variants of a basic exemplar. I wanted to find a way to add...
twitchtoo,
I entirely agree with your approach, and I share your basic dictum that the less fuss the better. That's what I *almost* have on the current product page that I gave as a linked...
gjh42,
Thanks for sparing time to offer your suggestions, which aren't all that workable as is, but they certainly got me onto the right track. I'll state how in a moment, but first I wanted to...
twitchtoo,
You ask, "All separate products with separate skus/model numbers yes?" Yes, but to extend your brick-and-mortar analogy, I wouldn't build a separate display area for each of the...
Update and Despair:
I worked through the remaining Similar Threads links below, and they all dealt in one way or another with new ZC users who didn't understand how the attributes module worked...
Update:
The first "Similar Threads" link below I'd read, but not closely enough. This time through, I discovered a reference to the Product Attribute Grid, and I just finished studying (and...
Well dang,
After posting this query, bang, right at the bottom of it appeared links to several threads that seem to address my query. I don't know why I couldn't locate these threads earlier, as...
Query to Wizards:
In a nutshell, here's my challenge. I'm adding a product to my store (fishing rod) that has 15 variants based on slight but important variations of some characteristics. All 15...
Ajeh,
That's an interesting question. I thought that I had consistently used <space><space>, because back when the schools still taught typing on manuals, we had it drummed into our heads that a...
lat9 (and Ateh for status),
I made the changes that you suggested, because they were needed no matter what, but tidying up the english.php files didn't solve my latest alphabetizing glitch. Not...
lat9,
As luck (bad luck, maybe) would have it, I just had another alphabetizing glitch appear. I know that it's not from my copying and pasting from some other source into my product names,...
lat9
It's decent of you to give this matter any thought, as it's really just something that piqued my curiosity: Why is my system causing this little glitch from time to time? I really thought...
Ajeh,
I wish that I knew. I didn't really resolve the error, because I never discovered exactly what it was. I'm afraid that I rather stupidly let dumb luck solve the problem, and I have no idea...
Resolved.
Not a problem, really,
just an aggravation. I have my global product sort set to alphabetize product lists by product names. Unless I have a compelling reason to sort products with individual...
