[Closed] FEEDBACK ON BETA of v1.5.5

Another question: Looking through /zc_install/sql/updates/mysql_update_zencart_155.sql (which is a utf8 w/o BOM encoded file), there are a couple of updates of the form:

UPDATE countries set countries_name = 'Åland Islands' where countries_iso_code_3 = 'ALA';
UPDATE countries set countries_name = 'Réunion' where countries_iso_code_3 = 'REU';
UPDATE countries set countries_name = "Côte d'Ivoire" where countries_iso_code_3 = 'CIV';

Won't those non-ASCII (and utf8-encoded) country names get mangled if the store-being-upgraded uses a latin1 collation?

Wow - tons of exciting updates just in the last few days! Thanks for your hard work, Zen Cart team and Picaflor (and all testers)!

Problems with banner_box = solved
Problems with product listing row height = solved

Let's continue the testing... :)

Initial admin login! Why was the hit counter started on 11/30/1999?
Corrected in this morning's zip-file.

Can you try again with latest code.

lat9:

Initial install (localhost/XAMPP). Created fresh directory and copied distribution zip-files, brand-new database.

Started the install process. In the "System Inspection" step, I'm presented with the error:

Your configure.php file is an old version and requires updating before we can continue.

> ... but this is a fresh install, so the configure.php file was created as part of the installation process, right?  The file's there, it's 0-bytes in length.

Hi

Agreed,

the messages should only show if the admin directory is called 'admin'

Working on this :)

lat9:

Admin Setup Phase. Same fresh install as my previous posting. Message appears before the admin directory name that was chosen:

We did not change your admin directory automatically as it already seems to have been changed from the default.

> Well, yes, it was changed from the default ... ***by the installation process***.  The message should be reworded as it's going to cause confusion for people that are installing for the first time.

for me the configure problem is now gone with latest download, i did get a warning about php below 5.5 which i didnt get before

Hi

Yes, because of the work flow in the installer, some warnings may not appear immediately.

Strictly, we should be erroring on PHP <= 5.4 as this is not supported anymore, but given 1.5.5 does not use any >5.4 specific code we are allowing for hosts that haven't updated yet.

Although I would worry if my host is using an out of date php version.

Install went smooth as without a single glitch.

Server environment:

HTTP Server: LiteSpeed
PHP Version: 7.0.0 (Zend: 3.0.0)
PHP File Uploads: On Upload Max Size:2M
PHP Memory Limit: 128M
POST Max Size: 8M
Database: MySQL 5.5.46-cll
Database Data Size: 366 kB
Database Index Size: 527 kB

Ofc I need to do further testing on several devices and with different admin settings - time permitting.

I got this error on first install and my PHP Version is 5.6.16. I haven't done a 2nd install.

I haven't had an error on php 5.6.15 ... ensure that you have the latest release of the v155 beta ...

Fresh install, using zip-file created at approximately 10am EST.

System Setup step. Need to determine whether you're going to use the US or UK spelling of license/licence:

Verified corrected using a zip-file created about 10am EST this morning.

zc_install, Step: Database Setup.

Click on the link entitled Database Tablename Prefix. The help text reads:

What is the prefix you would like used for database tables? Example: 'zen_' TIP: Leave empty if no prefix is needed.
You can use prefixes to allow more than one store to share the same database.

My thought is that some more literally-inclined people are going to include the single-quotes because the example text contained them:

'zen_'

Perhaps use either bold or italic to emphasize the zen_, moving the "TIP" to the next line?

That was with first zip release, first install. I haven't reinstalled new versions.

Hi.

Will take a look at both and see if we can shoehorn something in.

balihr:

Don't want to be a pain in the a**, but was there any reason why this was ignored? IMHO, an important fix...
And, probably less important, this. :smile:

Hi

Have pushed change for this.

I re-ordered the tpl_product_info_display.php and the right sideboxes drop to the footer area and move to the left.

You can see it here

I also want to add a background image and it will not appear when background coding is added to the stylesheetin the "body" area.

Are you sure that you have the latest Zip of v155 installed? I cannot repeat this issue ...

What sideboxes on the right column are turned on?

Can you zip and attach your file for the tpl_product_info.php
