Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

[jlizotte]

I'm using the original version. I've downloaded the update and read the docs. It doesn't mention an easy upgrade from the original to this. It looks like a fair number of files were changed. Is there an easy way to update my original Abbington Mega template so I can keep my customizations, or should this be looked at as installing a new template and recreating my changes?

Thanks in advance for your time, and thank you as always for your fantastic work.

To update your template package you will need to read through the change log in the readme.html file and delete files which were deleted, add files which have been added, and merge files that have been changed with the files in your current template package.

Thanks,

Hi Anne,

this is a longshot but I am desperate - I have an issue with customer login - getting a security warning error. Does your template customize /includes/functions/sessions.php file at all?

Please see FAQ re this problem below with this reference.

FAQ

There was a security error when trying to login

Situation:
I'm getting this error when trying to login from the customer screen "There was a security error when trying to login"

Cause:
Zen Cart has a security feature to prevent spoofed external logins. A "security token" field must exist on all login forms, actually on all forms submitting data via POST. This token must be current (not expired), and must be submitted with the rest of the form data; in the case of login, that would be the login username+password in order for logins to work properly.

Remedy:
All your forms, both admin and non-admin, need to use zen_draw_form() instead of hard-coding a <form> tag.


Additionally, if you have customized your /includes/functions/sessions.php file for some reason, you'll also need to merge the new changes for this core file into your customized version.

The template does not modify that file. The contact us form in the menu does use the zen_draw_form()
