Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll start work on this again, then.

I recently tried to switch from using IPN to PP Express Checkout and found I was unable to do this - might have been a dumb user problem or was it that PP Express Checkout is not supported on Zen...

OK - so I'll answer my own question. I had Simple Google Analytics installed on my old site. What had happened was that I had upgraded my database but installed new code. So, the database "knew"...

I am in the final process of updating and recovering my site. I have installed new code and am manually updating .... or so I thought.

Hidden away at the bottom of my Configuration menu (nearly...

No problem - I use this in lectures - you can extend it to merchandising too. Look at the people who are just employed to put out a manufacturer's products in a supermarket and dream that they'll...

Thank you for your patience.

I've had a much better look at what winmerge is telling me and think that the reason for my confusion was that my original installation was badly compromised by...

Perhaps, then my problem is that I cannot work out how to "set for a mass compare". I'm sorry, I thought my last post had an example of what I was trying to do.

I'll go away and think...

Thanks for the reply.

What I'd like to be able to do is set winmerge off to compare all the files - am I just being lazy - probably? So, a recursive search of some kind? Start at these folders...

... and getting a little frustrated. In reading the documentation I find that I need to compare my installation of 1.3.6 which I have modified with a "virgin" version to find the changes and then...

Thanks for the quick reply - I was hoping to put off upgrading until the release of 2.00 ...... I'll put an interim upgrade back on the schedule.

I am running ZenCart 1.3.6 and have had no difficulties until this morning. Received an email from my host telling me they were installing php5 and making it their default version of php.

This...

Thanks for that Dr Byte, I'll investigate making the change.

Well, this now seems to be "normal" with the email confirmation arriving some 4 hours after the order has been placed. I guess it's a bottleneck somewhere between PayPal and Zen Cart ...

W

So, the confirmation turned up this time, 5 hours after the PayPal payment had been processed. Hmm
W

I've just seen another instance of this problem. Again no changes have been made, the PayPal payment is processed but no confirmation email sent to customer or us and no record of the order on the...

So in truly annoying way, I turned on debugging PayPal payments in Zen Cart and made a transaction for myself - good to review what it looks like from a customer viewpoint as well!

Yes, the...

Sorry I went off and checked a few things and came back to find I couldn't edit the previous message.

So, no change in hosting, no edit of .htaccess, no change in IPN notification preferences at...

Just for the record, I have the same problem too and it's happened over the last few days. My site was working just fine and now I don't receive an order confirmation and my customers report that...

Just catching up with some admin/marketing and needed to generate a new site map with Google XML sitemap - which was installed and working. This now generates an internal server error. The only...

Well, by trial and error this is now resolved.

Having started out with free shipping, and got it working, I've reviewed my sales and need to reinstate a flat charge for shipping.

Providing a unique identifier for a customer seems to be the issue here. This would have to be email address-firstname+last name-address, I think. I guess there is a law of diminishing returns at...

Yes, I agree I still make money - actually we just had a postage increase in the UK which means that its not quite as OK as it was ... that's another story.

Yes, the individual did sign up with...

As the customer id is their email address, how can I stop them opening multiple accounts with different email addresses - I've just had someone sign up twice to get two sign-up discount vouchers and...

Sorry for the delay in looking at this - out of circulation (hospital) for a while.

I know that there are pros and cons to showing the price in the meta tag but I am competitive on some pricing and would like to show it. However, when I see my product listed in Google (hooray!) its...

Thanks for the reply ...

Seems that this is a great example of confusion marketing:

I was in the process of signing up for this when I discovered that I had to commit to having Express Checkout on my website as part of the sign up process. Looking at the 1.3.7 documentation this...

I have just been struggling with this too but now think I understand what has happened and somewhere in here might be some clues about the problems in this thread.

Thanks for that - and just for the record I was looking for dropdowns with multiple attributes and individual stock totals eg. colour/size.

Is there a quick way to remove this module? It probably will do what I want with a considerable amount of persuasion but I've decided that I have other priorities just now - removing it would save...

1 you have a new database and user name for the copy of your Live site that you are upgrading

2 you have placed the correct configure.php files in:...

I think that's exactly the problem ... I created a Paypal account and in that account I have a profile which uses IPN to notify that the payment's been made and a web site return address to return...

In another thread Dr Byte said
"Yes you can use it for multiple sites. Zen Cart sends override information to keep the stores separate."

Sorry I'm not clear on how to configure this. At the...

Oops, sorry best go and check if there are any others that I've over-enthusiastically changed :blush:

Just thought I'd search the forum to see if there were any issues with AOL and this describes exactly the problem a potential customer has reported!

Thanks for the fix - maybe it should be set...

Ah ha just the same question I had! Did the way in which the EZ-pages are handled change in 1.3.6 - I don't remember this divider disappearing when you removed the EZ-pages content in 1.3.5.

W

Think I've sorted this sufficiently for now ...

thanks for the pointer
W

Shows you should loook before you reply ...

there were 3 stylesheets and when I deleted the one I wasn't expecting to find the misplaced columns disappeared.

Thanks for that suggestion but I'm not sure what you mean by upgrade as I'm already using the current release.

The css is based on that provided by the UK template. The two stylesheets arrived...

www.archerytrousers.co.uk is finally looking reasonable BUT just as I thought I'd got things under control.

Just a thought on this ....

explicitly setting cellspacing and cellpadding to 0 frequently helps with unexpected white space around table cells.

Thanks for the directions - I've got it set up now.

So much to learn - so little time:wacko:
