thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, the bible is more descriptive than the installation instructions that come with that download.

They read as:

1. Copy/FTP the files and directories in the zencart_root folder to the root of
your Zen Cart installation, making sure to preserve the file structure.
2. Go to "Tools->Install SQL Patches" in your Zen Cart administration area.
Click the "browse" button and locate the "quick_update.sql" file
contained in this release. Click the upload button and your system should now be
ready to go!




I don't have a zencart_root folder in this installation. I was able to get the quick_update.sql file to load, however, these horribly vague instructions do not tell me where to go to use this software, where it's really supposed to go.

Currently it has been uploaded to the main directory of my website. As that's where zen cart has been installed to. not my domain.com/store

just www.mydomain.com

does it go in the admin folder? do the respective contents of the quickupdate download go in the respective /admin folder of the zen cart installation?

these are things I don't know.

Also it mentions something about editing some sort of table, which I assume is a database table. Here is the quote from the instructions:

To make the products_purchase_price and margin feature work "products_purchase_price" (i.e. DECIMAL 15,4) and "products_margin" (i.e. DECIMAL 15,2) need to be added to your products tabel.

What does this mean? And if someone answers me, please, don't tell me in database speak. I know nothing about php, sql, or any other code. And I frankly, don't have the patience to read a ton of books to learn it.

I expected this software (zen cart) to be plug in, install, and go. And so far, it's not.

not thrilled.
