question about v1.3.5 installation tool

This is a repeatable [but not fatal] bug in V1.3.5:

When using Zen Cart Installer
Step - Database Setup
Form - Database Information
Field - Store Identifier (Table-Prefix)

The Store Identifier field does not show up initially on the Database Information form. Therefore, you cannot specify a db prefix (i.e. zen_).

Workaround:
Leave the form blank and click "Save Database Settings".
This will force an error return page and the Store Identifier field will now show up and function as expected.

Regards,

Craig

Re: question about v1.3.5 installation tool

I can't duplicate this ...

The "store identifier" field is only hidden for database-upgrades, not for fresh installs.

What browser are you using?

Re: question about v1.3.5 installation tool

DrByte,

I'm running Firefox v1.5.0.6
I've encountered the hidden store identifier on two fresh installs (I'm currently in a more fatal debug loop - http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46120, thus the reloads).

If I need to run another fresh install, I'll switch to mozilla or ie to see if the problem tracks.

Regards,

Craig

If neither of you gents have this problem, I agree it's gotta be on my side.
Thanks for investigating. I'll follow-up if I discover the root cause.

Craig
