[Closed] FEEDBACK ON BETA of v1.5.5

STATUS UPDATE:

As you know, we rarely give a "date", but we're in final testing and unless we discover things that need code changes, we're anticipating releasing v155 on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Until then we're in "code freeze" mode save for fixing any discovered bugs or updating release docs.

I'm mentioning this in case you have time between now and then to test some upgrades (esp from as old as v139).
Any feedback about bugs which need fixing before release would be appreciated.

I can upgrade fine to 155 and the 155 store defaults to Anne's pick some flowers fantastic responsive template.

Thanks to all who contributed to v155.

Once I import the old db though, the store reverts to the classic money green zc template with the old store products. Not an issue.

The auto renamed admin site then shows "WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again".

I have compared config files. Somehow the admin is not connecting to the newly populated DB. Please advise.

Hi,
I am thorougly testing the 1.5.5.
I have installed the FEC from Numinix and the CSSJs loader.
It works fine but only in the desktop version.
If you browse the site with a smartphone (or with an agent switcher from a PC) when you go to the login page you get a full blank page.
Test if you want at www.aupgrade . acquatua.it (it is a test site so do not watch at the missed parts or bad looking style)
I browsed the page source and I can not find any difference in the code generated when swithched to mobile or tablet, but again the rendered page is blank and if the switch is set "desktop" the page is rendered normally.
I have no error log files thrown, so I am lost.
I think it is a css problem, but I have no idea on how I can fix it.
I set the CSSJs loader to false for both css and js but no change.
Can someone help please?
Ciao from Italy

I just tested with a blackberry 9930 was able to access the site although there were two security warnings regarding certificates that were expired or issued for another site... Was delivered to the mobile template and not a desktop view based on the look of the page.

Considering that the issues identified are related to one or more plugins to ZC 1.5.5, may I suggest taking this to a separate discussion/the developer. As the issues are not directly a problem with ZC 1.5.5.

I am very sorry, I simpy forgot to say that the problem comes out only if you go to http://www.aupgrade . acquatua.it/index.php?main_page=login
I apologize if I made you wasting your time.
You are right that the problem is related to a plug-in but I though it may be more related to the responsive system introduced in 1.5.5 since the plug in works well if you browse with a PC
Thanks

I found it. It was the html header in the common dir. It needs to be modified ina different way then what suggest by the plugin author.
Thanks

Enzo, no problem, everyone here supports ZC because they have chosen to do so. Like a program, good/valid input ought to lead to a good result. My point was that the program (ZC) worked for login without a plugin, and therefore when the plugin was added and there was an issue, that the issue is/was with the compatibility of the plugin with ZC.
Part of this overall feedback on this change is to notify developers of the status so that they can independently test their code and offer changes either to a plugin or to the core code. It's all good. :)

I think I retested after the above change, but had no issue in accessing the login page. Thanks for providing the direct link to where the issue was to support helping you. :)

Once I import the old db though...This 'once I import the old db though" comment suggests that your mention of "upgrade" above was actually just a "new install", and not an upgrade including your actual db data and letting zc_install do its necessary steps to transform the old database data to the new structure.

webskipper:

the store reverts to the classic money green zc template with the old store products.That's to be expected.
You still need to run zc_install and choose "Upgrade Database".

Don't know if relevant - I run my test site 1.5.4 and 1.5.5 earlier git release on WAMP/Windows 10 - I had to make everything http - no https - to avoid error.

Unless you've got a fully-certified SSL certificate installed on your local WAMP, it's completely expected that you would get SSL errors. That's not a Zen Cart issue.

ZC 1.5.5, downloaded "today" (headers reflect full version non-beta).
Created a new database, pointed my configure.php files to the new database including updating the prefix.
Imported ZC 1.3.8 database into the blank database (although it had the applicable drop/truncate commands)
Admin table already had some issues as some admin_level fields had a zero, one had a one.
Username/password was definitely expired.
Used the How do I change or reset my Admin Password? (I lost it) to establish a username to support the database upgrade.
Upgrade only on ZC 1.3.8 database.

PHP 5.6 (Zend 2.6.0)
Server OS: Linux 3.2.61-grsec-modsign
PHP Memory Limit: 128M

         **Database:** MySQL 5.6.25-log

No issues to report with the upgrade.
Database upgrade was performed in one "step", there are a few log errors from the install but wouldn't have been known if I hadn't gone to look for/at them out of curiosity:

Logged into admin with mobile device.

Nearly the entire lower half of the screen is taken up by logo, copyright, etc... Be nice if that could be turned off in some way.

Menu button on upper right corner doesn't work.

Only options are the log viewer and currently the gift certificate queue because the database did have a gift certificate to get validated from back when it was backed up. Once I clicked on one of these, the half screen problem section disappeared, so at least it does go away eventually, but if I go back to my admin directory /index.php the "popup" appears again. Further, pretty much have to know all of the commands (or use alt_nav.php) to navigate...

Have seen conversations about the grid framework, etc... Don't really care as long as it works.. I do think that having one on one side and the other on the other side offers an opportunity and method to see/choose what it would take for one or the other. So, how does one turn off this admin template thing or what is needed to "correct" the issue?

Is there a reason that the admin load of the jQuery library (from /admin/includes/header.php) is done with the defer attribute:

<script defer src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script defer src="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

It's currently wrecking havoc on an admin tool that I'm developing, making it "very difficult" to get my jQuery helper and its initialization loaded without error. If I simply remove the defer attributes, all is well.

I have no preference. I think the defer has it place, but may not be necessary in this context.

Will take a look-see about merging the PR for that.

DrByte:

Which mobile device are you using? Screen resolution dimensions?
Blackberry 9930, 640 x 480 pixels... While it is touch screen, it does have single mouse button click capability like a macintosh basically.

Button responded as if moused over, correction, but when clicked no change, not in screen not in response; no action occurred..

If possible, could it be removed? I haven't gone back to my other jQuery-using admin plugins, but I know that removing the defer made my under-development plugin go from not-working to working.

I have a new pending PR which includes the removal of defer along with other fixes for the admin nav area.

I hope when today's commits are merged (tomorrow) those issues will be resolved.

Seemed to fix things.. I saw that there were a few PRs in the queue. I didn't try to apply them to see what would change, but the work done Saturday to Sunday did resolve the mobile in admin navigation issue.

I did notice one thing that still looked a little off, the button to accept related to gift certificate queue, overlaps the ZenCart logo slightly. There isn't much room to move. To the right, because the button for the activity log is adjacent. That second button does have some room to move right, but I find it difficult to provide clear coding direction.

With regards to the overlap of the first button, the lower left part of the button itself begins half way up from the a n the logo. The text description beneath it is somewhat lost at the beginning within the logo. The C in Certificate is position over the lower part of the t in ZenCart. Two fixes come to mind, either move over the Gift Certificate Queue button and hopefully the second button also would move or reduce the size of the logo in this setup...
