HELP - cache does not exist

Would it have been SO hard to separate the new elements in to a second style sheet ?! (rhetorical - of course it wasn't).

Actually that's exactly what the Zen Cart team did do for the first few releases of 1.3.x, specifically to ease the upgrade path for existing store users.

But this made life much more difficult for new users (and confusing for existing users too), so given the extent of the practical problems it was causing, they moved forward with 1.3.5 and re-integrated the styles into a single sheet for the classic template.

It might help you to download the release pack for 1.3.0.2 and look at the split between stylesheet original and stylesheet_new, but I doubt it. I must have upgraded a couple of stores from 1.2.x to 1.3.x and I've yet to see one where it wasn't easiest to simply rebuild the template from scratch using the much more powerful and flexible XHTML / CSS architure to which Zen Cart has evolved.

OK my fault for using it (2.5), instead of playing upgrade then ;-)

But I'm paying for it now....


Thanks for all your help kuroi.
You've been terrific!

Oops. Typo in my reply above ... should have said that I've upgraded a couple of dozen stores across this jump. So it can be done, and actually it's really not that difficult once you get the hang of it.

One BIG tip. You referred earlier to a heavily modded store. If this is it, do check the downloads area for the latest versions of mods before installing. Lots of people get into trouble by trying to apply mods written for 1.2 onto a 1.3 site and there are some structural improvements that render that problematic. Most of the mods worth having either still work, or have been upgraded to work.

Good luck and remember that this thread is still open if you need more help.
